"No one ever broke 80 with a bad short game...If they did they were trying to break 70." This quote right here is why you are the GOAT sir @golfsidekick 🤣😅

[@richardbrooks853]

I’m feeling very confidential after watching this video. Waddaplaya!

[@Burricane26]

My best rounds lately have been when I put the driver away and hit a 4 iron off every tee. Maybe I'll throw a hybrid in there occasionally but there's nothing better than hitting a shot 210-220, and getting up and down all day. Your tips have been so helpful for me, I've never felt more confidential.

[@CrankyBuddha]

Boyfriend, if you're good enough to hit a 4 iron 220, you're good enough to hit the driver well. Practice the big dog!

[@Burricane26]

@@CrankyBuddha I've slowed my swing speed with the driver lately and that has improved things but I'm letting it chill in the bag until I'm more consistent on the range. It'll be back with a vengeance soon enough.

[@thomastrain7311]

I'm similar in that I hit my 5 iron around 215 or so and hit driver maybe 4 times a round. I do hit a 3 wood off the tee quite a bit too, but I make way more birds and pars from the fairway off a flat lie . I love it when my buddies accuse me of playing old man golf when they're paying me off 😂

[@GolfSidekick]

For single layer thinkers, they can’t understand that on the course, people don’t hit driver but they work on it away from the course. They seem to think that not hitting the driver for a while means giving up on it. We need multi layer thinking. Well done burricane. Nice work on being a true baus

Appreciate the knowledge. I took up the game again age 44 when a driving range opened on my route home here in Cambodia. I also practice at a par 3 but don't enjoy the heat and cost of full rounds. In the UK I play cheap courses in the summer and hit 92 last year. I started playing wii golf for course management and binge watching this channel and others. Hoping to break 90 this year. Thanks for the confidential building!

[@rocketimpossible5196]

I love your videos. Logic, probability, and strategy applied to golf, instead of just trying to make heroic shots. Wonderful. Also, I love the greenside "feel" talk at 15-16 minutes. That backfoot, closed face chip is the technique that I use the most often, since it's my most consistent and comfortable, and I always love seeing golfers who are far better than I am using it.

[@mdl8399]

This video is gold! When my short game went south (think chipping yips), my chances of breaking 80 disappeared. Also, using a hybrid around the green has been key for me (think chipping yips). I have found it to be very reliable! Love this channel and how he relates to the reality of most golfers.

[@GolfSidekick]

Experienced it yesterday. I shot 85. Lost exactly 9 shots just from chipping and putting. Lost 4 shots to two water balls on par threes. Easy to identify. Easy to fix. Wadda life

[@ravenwda007]

I regularly shot low 80's as a junior, but I really wasn't planning too well because I was a dumb kid. It's been a very long time since I've played golf, but this time it's extremely different. My body can't perform at the same level it once did. I'm permanently disabled and I must use a walker to even walk now. I was a disabled junior, but my disease had not progressed enough to limit my mobility at that time. Over time it got worse and I would fall over with every golf swing. So I hung it up for many years. However I found a golf course near me that has a special cart designed for handicaps that stands you up and supports your body so you can play the game you love again! I am going to have a blast figuring out how to play golf again from that cart!

[@Njohns1]

This is the video I needed. Rarely do I shoot in the 90s. Consistently shoot in the mid to low 80s and I’m trying to break 80 this season. Short game is where I need to be better for sure.

[@ImBooblehead]

Gotta increase your ball striking frequency. Make more time for your game so when you're on the course you're playing golf and not guessing how it feels! Chipping is really great but imo 80+ comes from lack of ball striking practice during the week. Make the time, baby! You got this!

[@Master...deBater]

I'm where you are but just turned 50 yrs old...got a late start! I recently analyzed my putting and realized that if I cut my 3 putts to less than 3 per round, I'd break 80 most of the time! My wedge play and long-range lag putting is pretty good...but I like to miss a lot of those pesky 4 and 5 footers. Take notes on your score card and find out exactly where you're leaking strokes...at least you'll know what you need to work on. Best of luck breaking 80 in 2024!!!

[@andrewbrewer5528]

I broke 90 last year finally after following this channel. I have now had 2 rounds in he low 80s. 81 and 82. I am so close I can smell it. And my short game is getting really good. If I can stop wth the 3 putts, I have a shot at the 70s.

Any recommendations on a good lapel? Or link? Love the content you have posted

[@TheCannell]

1:44 - I went away from using the line on the ball for my alignment and just trusting that I've lined up correctly. For longer putts I try and pick something on the green (a discoloration, a fixed pitch mark, etc.) to aid with my alignment. But once I'm ready to putt I'm not focused on the line on the ball, I'm just thinking about contact and pace. I'm sinking just as many long putts as I used (which isn't many), but I'm in better position to make that 2nd putt far more often because I'm not leaving them ridiculously short or long. Obviously do whatever works for you, I've just noticed a lot of improvement to my pace control since I've stopped using the line on the ball.

[@Paul-viking]

Love my fairway and hybrid clubs! As we get older and shorter, we need to set proper expectations.

how to break 80 without hitting it more than 200 yards...play the senior tees. I do it all the time. Typical par 4 is about 360 so 200 and 160 nice chip sink your put done move to next hole. With decent roll I'll get some 220 ish tee shots allowing for 2 or 3 birdie possibilities per round. I'm a senior golfer and enjoy your videos which are some of my favorites. Thanks
