HOW TO BREAK 80 - 666 Sub 80 System Angkor Golf Resort

[@papashuk26]

Im a 60 year old now walking on the course talking to myself about being a “playa “ and a “Baus” - my buds think I’m nuts ! I really don’t know who you are but nothing has helped my game this year as much as your relaxed approach to the sport! This 6-6-6 methodology is my next step. Keep up the great work!

[@mitchpowell608]

you are a Baus playa

[@TheDano1970]

I can relate! My scores have dropped over 18-20 strokes since I started following Playa Matt.

[@jc168854]

The effort you put into editing these videos set you apart from other youtube golf channels. Great work Matt 👍

[@coreyl6221]

The music selections he uses is so spot on as well. Really connects to the moment. Video Baus!

[@facebookninja4085]

Went out Saturday with this mentality you teach. Shot an 85 with a couple blow up holes but still felt more stress free than I have in a long time. Thank you for this.

[@Surfingsucksnow]

I just want to say I appreciate your no BS theory behind the game of golf. Best golf youtuber in my opinion.

[@lancemanyon7645]

Been watching Golf Sidekick for about 4 years and this was one of your two best lessons for common golfers along with playing within yourself and having proper expectations. You can break 80 or break 90 using those lessons by not losing your mind over a bad hole or back to back 3 putts.

[@GolfSidekick]

Yes playa you get it

[@blarsen8]

Other golf "professionals" on KZbin use how to break 80 clickbait for their lame course vlogs. This is a great plan with awesome tips on HOW to break 80. 👊

[@bobt5778]

Neat! By concentrating on the three 6's, you take the focus off the running score and turn it toward a variety of achievable sub goals. Now your playing with our heads!

[@djc2609]

Been hovering between low 90s to 100 on bad days and I just scored my personal best of 81. Could easily have been sub 80 if my putting was better. Credit to course management tips from this channel. Only pulled out my driver 4 times today and best of all, I played the same ball for 16 holes which is rare for me. Thanks and keep up the good work

[@scipiofinancial2013]

Playa, this was your best opening commentary explaining the 666 system in the two years I’ve been following the WOP! Good work my friend.

[@garyleahy4537]

Matt, that 7 iron from 194 on the par three was MONEY. Your caddie was paying attention. Love your videos and your philosophy on the game. Play with enthusiasm and positive energy. Great things will happen. BTW, today's my 66th Birthday and I'm going out later to use my newly acquired "Skills of the Playa"

[@BillMcGirr]

Gary Leahy For sure... If she handed me a 7iron from 194... I’d have thought she was drunk.🤣👍💪

[@robsengahay5614]

I sense that the act of making these videos and explaining your thought processes actually helps you maintain your focus on the course. I definitely suffer from scrambled brain on the course which leads to runs of 3 to 4 scrappy holes in a row somewhere on the round. Often I retrieve my focus but the score has been trashed by that hour of scrambled brain. Perhaps due to my age but I do struggle to maintain focus for the 4-5 hours of a typical competition round - and I see the same problem with most other handicap golfers too. Maybe using this 666 process could help and stop me from turning one poor hole into a poor run of holes.

Alright, Ima gunna need the name of that masseuse that loosened you up to hit a 7 iron 205, thanks.

Playa, you've been killin it w/ the videos in the last 2-3 weeks!...All of the vids really speak to me as a high-handicapper-playa trying to improve. Thanks for all of them and can't wait for part 2!

[@mikaellanger]

Hey just wanted to say I've just completed a total binge of your channel start to finish. I've been searching for good stuff on strategy and the mental game many times in the past but never really found much good. Apparently the Google algorithm in its infinite wisdom decided that now was the time, just after I'd shot my first ever 39 on 9 holes (50 on the front nine, waddaway to break 90!), on om of those scary Jack Nicholson courses at that! I'm pleased to say I was already well on my way down the way of the Playa, keeping my game as low stress as possible but I did have some gaps in my strategizing, like I was always shaping it away from the hazards but aiming away from the trouble and letting the ball shape back feels so much better and opens up the landing area. Anyway, I was super inspired by the break 90 videos and decided to play the next couple of rounds with just a 6i off the tees to see if I can get consistent at breaking 90 in that way and then start to deliberately attack a few holes to go lower eventually. So I tried that out in the first round of the year last Sunday and I was amazing! I shot... well I shot 52, with 22 putts on 9 holes. Ouch. But now i was motivated to dig out my putting mat that has been woefully disused lately, and went from missing 25% from 3 feet to draining 100% from 8 feet i one session! Back at it today, I shot 44 on just the second attempt, still with 4 3-stabs but this time also 4 up/downs. Looking at my gs style stats after the round I realized I had 7 easy to fix dropped shots in this round which means... Yes, looking forward to breaking the next score barrier this year, if I can shoot 39 on 9 holes once I can do it repeatedly right? Right. Thanks for the great content and inspiration, keep it up Playa!

[@JB-qu7jm]

Not sure you will read this but this is the best tip ever when it comes to breaking 80 - I did and stuck to it and broke it today -78 at my home course ! Great work my friend ! You sir are a baus !!

[@GolfSidekick]

Love it playa. Keep at it.

[@scokely]

Today's round: 5 up/down; 7 greens in regulation; 7 birthday holes; 1 birdie; NO double bogeys. 78. thank you, matt!

[@khemheru1439]

I like this system it actually has helped me strategize better and lower my scores- THANKS! It works because if you want lower scores u MUST get up and down and most ppl do not practice, consider, or even consider the importance of calculating a good chip/ pith into their game/ scoring.

[@andrewjohnston5942]

Lovely looking place. My old pro Alan Martin is there I believe. Great guy. Nice shooting by the way.

[@brianrizza2045]

Listen to this man I proved it works yesterday. On the front 9 I hit driver or 3 wood off tees lost 7 balls fuming most holes shot 56. On the turn drank an ice cold 🍻 took a couple deep breaths tee off with 5 iron on all par 4s&5s shot 41 nothing more then a bogey had 4 pars and 2 3putts. So never give up on a round

[@andybell3565]

Days like this out on the links are simply THE BEST

[@GolfSidekick]

better than all the rest

[@karmababy5077]

Some savage shots hit there sidekick. I bet you enjoyed that round. Well played.

[@Greg-zu4jh]

One of the best things I've read recently is an interview with Marc Leishman and he basically says to stop aiming for the flag. Aim for the middle of the green and let your misses work for you. If the flag is in the front of the green, aim for the middle. If you aim for the green and go short then you're not putting but if you aim for the middle and go short, you're golden. Aim for the middle and go long? Well hopefully you're still on the green. It's more about playing the odds and letting the dispersion of shots and misses work in your favor.

[@ryanmagladry1868]

Hey Matt, great vids, been binging your videos for weeks now. What shorts are these bright green puppies? Need them in my arsenal!

[@8acenelson]

The system makes sense. The birthday holes is a good concept. And Zen before every shot, hitting the shot you're confident in. The challenge is getting up and down 6 times. That ain't easy. But amateurs have to hit some good shots to break 80. And even one double can be too much. But a good mental approach, with an emphasis on enjoying the game.

[@somerandomguy706]

Allowed myself to go to my happy place and really focus on planning out my shots so that worst case I made a bogey. Missed in the right places when I did, didn't try too much when out of position. Helped that my game was on fire to begin with. All combined for my best round ever: 75 on a hard course 73.8/138 as a 9 handicap. 11 GIR's, 4 up and downs, hit every fairway. We'll see how things go tomorrow. One problem: didn't find a single feather to plant.

[@D.WhiteJr]

Dude you crack me up I love it. And I love your attitude and style of play. I’m going to try to start playing a little more stress free but what gets me by is having that same attitude of you are going to hit some bad shots. Forget about have fun hit the next. Trying to get under par. Been shooting like 3-5 over last 3 rounds.

[@danedwards9894]

Awesome video I love the way you brake it down. It makes sense

[@MatthewEatonBri]

Would love to play with you when you come back to South Africa bru! Big fan of yours and been cutting down my scores from 100+ to now low 90's and occasionally high 80s! Massive help! We can play in Cape Town if you're keen for a round!

I was so hoping this was going to be the divot repair video, so sad 😭😭. Great stuff Matt, so much good stuff here, 120 and in, GIOTG and working backwards, awesome.

[@sdreed25]

After shooting low 80’s for a few weeks and getting frustrated at not troubling the 70’s I took serious note of this video having watched your stuff before. Looked back at my stats on 6-6-6 and whilst I was getting 6 GIR I was only getting 1-2 up & downs. Worked on short game & putting all week, shot 77, 7 GIR, 4 up&down but also short game meant all the birthday holes were kept to bogey on this par 69.

A 666 with no devil involved! It makes sense to me and I already can see what I need to change to find those last 4 or 5 strokes to get there. Fun stuff! Well presented.

[@jeffreystaley5266]

I like a lot about what you are doing. The videos are nicely produced in exotic locations. The music is interesting. Your tips are interesting and a bit unconventional . Your wardrobe is unconventional, but I sense it is totally you. Can't figure out the funky language..."like a baus"...no idea what that means other than the implication is that it is cool. I think your vibe is unique and I find it very calming...666, like a playa, all meant to create more enjoyable golf rounds. How you pay the bills is a complete mystery. Somehow you get to play golf all the time. You are The Baus.

[@alanjordan6198]

Brilliant lesson in Zen. Would like to know how you plan this methodology, do you mark your card with your gir & up/down holes before the round? How do you mark your card during the round so you know what you've done?

[@giantcerealbowl2120]

Came so close! Chipped in for birdie like a baus. Probably from that feather I planted earlier in the round 😉 but of course followed that up with a double bogey and a round of 80 flat. Oh well we’ll get them next time playa! Keep up the awesome content

[@wntfan656]

I am not prone to subscribing to ANYTHING but I have become a huge fan of your videos so am now on-board! I love everything about your videos, Matt. Thank you. I am completely convinced that my continued improvement has WAY more to do with the mental/attitude/strategic side of the game than swing mechanics. My questions about the 666 course management system is how to avoid obsessing about achieving the 6 greens in regulation and 6 up and downs. I am pretty good about not obsessing about my score during a round...although I do find myself counting pars. I currently average about 6 per round. I am guessing that with the 666 system, I'd fall into the trap of counting GIRS and Up&Dns and this could create stress if I get "behind" during a round. Isn't 6 GIRS and 6 Up&dns, essentially setting up a goal of achieving 12 pars? That is one more than the "11 pars and 7 bogeys" route to breaking 80. My best 18 to date is 81 and I'm looking forward to breaking 80 for the first time next year.

[@GolfSidekick]

Hey playa. It’s the process behind hitting six greens. You just need to do the things that lead to the goal. Par fives, par threes and short par fours give you a great opportunity to make the green in Regulation. You just need to hit the smart shots to get there. Focus on the process

[@wntfan656]

@@GolfSidekick Thanks. I'd like your honest opinion (perhaps this could be the topic of a video?) on the value of new equipment to reach the goal of breaking 80 at least semi-regularly. In my personal situation, I'm playing budget irons purchased over two decades ago. By playing more regularly the past two years, I've been able to improve from shooting in the mid 90's to shooting in the mid 80's with a personal best of 81. I only recently added a sand wedge. before that, all I had was a PW! Should I prioritize getting a complete set of new irons or first add a set of gap wedges? Or should I resist the urge to buy new clubs and just practice and play more? Like most of us regular playas, I struggle with inconsistent swing mechanics and ball contact and I feel that a set of "game improvement" irons could really help me.
