If you cannot hit a ball 150 or 175 + reliably, you need lessons. Then continue.

[@bigshinyloons96]

Hey Playa, just wanted to say thanks for this. I've been watching your videos for a while and they've helped me tremendously. Cheers man.

[@Woxen65]

Are the hitting lengths carry or total?

[@scotbaxter1579]

Thank you for all the Great videos and advice. You have helped me and many others I'm sure. My 6/7 clubs putter 54wedge 9ir 7ir 5ir 5wood/ 3wood. Diver=8 I know. Yet Dr generally goes straight fade 5yrds or slice 25. Biggest benifit from watching your videos so far is putts/ ruler drill. Best score yet 5 in a row. Playing partners have commented on my improved putting stoke. Thanks mate Stay 😎

[@iannorth8549]

Don’t look at the score,gotta remember this half a dozen times I’ve been on track to have an even par round with 3 to play and destroyed it with doubles and triples

This is exactly right. You are the king of KZbin golf because you deal with reality. I recommend your channel to all my friends that need you.

[@torlefborsting471]

I literally shot 12 over as a 15 handicap after watching your videos for one week. I kid you not. It was the calmest round I’ve ever played. I was thrilled.

[@MrRniles]

I have to admit, I was a sceptic. Been playing a long time, score stayed around 94 with the occasional 80 something. After scoring a 102 I decided to give Matt's technique a try. I left the driver and 60 in the garage and hit the course. Last 4 rounds: 89, 88, 87, 88! Totally sold on this technique! Thanks Matt!

[@abhisheksvarma]

What club you used instead of the driver? 3 wood?

[@MrRniles]

@@abhisheksvarma I started with my 5 wood (200 yard club), but as I got more comfortable, it started rolling out to 230, so my 200'is club became my 5 iron. My friend used his 4 hybrid.

And the thing is... he hasn’t showed anyone how to “swing” a club in his videos. Atleast from what I’ve seen. Course management, taking my time, and stress free golf is what I’ve taken from him. Course confidence as well!! Thanks playa!! Much love 💕

@@TheGaloov93 I wish I could thumbs up this 100x, his course/game management makes the game for us weekend hackers. Started implementing his break 90 tips ( I usually do but in the 87-89 range) to get and keep me in the mid to low 80s and so far it's working, last 5 rounds were all in the 84-86 range and at 60yrs old I'll take that every day from a 6000 yd course.

[@BaldyFella]

This is the most honest, sincere and instructive tuition I have ever seen on KZbin or anywhere else for that matter. An absolute masterclass. You need to stop whacking balls on the range needlessly and get out there with positive golf partners and make this happen. It should be everyone's goal to break 90. Golf becomes so much more enjoyable once you can regularly conquer this milestone.

[@mrdavidjthomson]

Watched this a couple times. Have been playing a couple years and have started shooting 93-96. Today shot 88!!! Threw out the 60, and concentrated on a par 90. Put the 5 wood back in for a solid 180 + shot and also clubbed up so i never stopped short. Thanks man!!

Hey Matt! I’ve just finished all your break 100 videos and I’ve now hit my last 2 rounds of 95! So now i’m here at the next chapter - I just wanted to say, thank-you so much mate! I have listened and executed as best I can at this point and it’s working! I appreciate you brother!

[@GolfSidekick]

Thank you sir. 90 will be nothing to you soon. But remember it ebbs and flows up and down. Some good some bad days. It’s not linear

Rewatched this video during the week. Broke 90 today with an 89 in the last big club competition of the year. Matt your garrontee is legit 😅

[@lysajane3643]

A great tip I’ve learned from Matt on this channel is to THINK about the shot you’re about to play, then step into the hitting zone and stop thinking. EXECUTE. Play the shot you’ve just planned and commit. Don’t second guess. Accelerate through the ball playa.

[@chrisd_nc2816]

Hi Matt! Thanks for your videos. I started playing again this spring after laying off golf for over 30 years. I’m a senior golfer. I have never broken 90. Today I had the best round this year. I shot a clean 93. I followed your stress- free methods and it worked to a t. Some notable points: - I played my shot shape (fade) off the tee and managed to avoid water and OOB successfully. - My approach shots avoided trouble. Only one bunker on the 18th hole. GIOTG! - I managed to NOT top one ball today. Swung within my limits. Better tempo. - Only two double bogeys. A few pars offset them. - I was on the green or just off on most par three’s. - My chipping was fair. My putting was not good - I three putted at least 4 greens. That cost me my sub 90 score. If B-dog can do it, so can I. Keep the motivational videos coming. Love the channel. What a Baus!!

[@CrazyHammer9]

Watched your video several times prior to my round on Saturday. Took all the advise to heart, followed everything you discussed. I generally break 100 but only just. My Saturday round after following your guidance I shot a 90! It should have been an 89 but I missed a 3 ft put on 18 to close out the round. Stupid mental gap. Everything I did was great, I can say the biggest change to my game was putting, keeping my head down and not moving until it dropped or stopped. I even had my first legit eagle on a par 4. 270 yard drive, 38 yard chip and rolled it in. Big thanks!

[@Indycrr]

Shot my first 2 rounds under 90 this season. I cannot express exactly how spot on these tips are. I’ve been trying to break 90 for years. What worked? Putting Chipping Dropping ego and eliminating penalties Keep up the great videos Matt!

[@Andrewgolf90]

So watched this the other day and played first round today in a month. Ive always been around the 89 90 mark and today shot 84. The biggest help from here i found was adding the shots to each hole. Thanks for the guide

[@levimelchert876]

This is the first golf youtuber I've watched that actually makes my game better and not worse

[@GolfSidekick]

Thats a fact

[@Parrott65]

Had to come back to this video. I just broke 90 today, for the first time. Shot an 88 and I attribute it to the suggestions in this video, staying relaxed and focusing only on each shot and not my score, using a 9 iron to chip with for a bump and run instead of trying to pitch with my sand wedge, and making sure I hit the center of the putter face every shot.

[@johndunbar7323]

If I could just add one more nugget to this excellent video, I would say to practice hitting all your clubs different distances. If you hit your driver 250, then practice hitting it 180-200. If you hit your 7 iron 150, then practice hitting it 100 yards. I'm an 80's golfer and I proved this point to a friend on the backside 9 at a recent golf outing. I hit longer clubs shorter distances, and hit to spots. The reason this works is that you don't need a big swing . I shot a 39 for 9 holes playing that way. He couldn't believe it. It really helps.

[@lobos887]

Shot a 90 today after really struggling to get under 95 for a while. Was very close to 89 just mistakes on two holes kept me over, mostly bc I didn’t follow the rules! But this was the most confident I played in a month or two. Thanks Elton Juan.

[@orbits2754]

I’m just getting back into golf after a long break (2014)) because I was not near a good as the people I played with.. You are the reason for it! Thank you very much.

[@litlemidgetful]

Had a chance to do a bit of an experiment this weekend as I was playing a 9 hole course twice for the full 18. Able to compare Way Of The Playa to how I imagine most people would usually play without thinking. I'm usually a mid-high 90s hitter for 18 btw. First 9 holes i hit my 250-260yd driver every tee shot other than the par 3s, and didn't split any shots after the tee. Even with 250yds to the hole i would use my 180yd 4 hybrid, only smashing it trying to get close to the hole. Lost 3 balls, a couple of 3 putts, ended the front 9 with a 51. Standard. For the back 9 I decided to STRICTLY use Way of the Playa Breaking 90 logic. Used my 210-220yd 2 Hybrid off of every tee and then split every approach shot longer than 160yds (my 6 iron distance) into combinations of my 120yd 8iron, 105yd PW, or 85yd 56deg. Putting seemed the same, only lost 1 ball on the 11th and played with the same ball from 11 to 18. Back 9 I ended up shooting an incredible, delightful, unbelievable 41. By far the lowest score I've ever hit for 9. Also got my first birdie ever, on a 320yd par 4 (210yd 2 hybrid off the tee, 105yd PW that landed on the left fringe, holed out a maybe 4yd chip in). Ive always believed in it but never fully put Way of the Playa into practice (peer pressure from golfing buddies would have me getting out the driver and long hybrids even when I knew I shouldn't). Now, I'm a complete believer and will be implementing strict Way of the Playa for a full 18. Anyone who has watched these videos but not tried the system, I urge you to try it out just once. Leave the driver at home, and split up your approaches, and see what happens. Never did I think watching these videos that my first time trying it I could save 10 strokes over 9 holes. The system just works.

[@jasoncrum1294]

I really hope you continue this series and do a Break 80 lecture! I've been in the low-80s cusp for a few years now (~12 handicapper) with at least a dozen rounds 80-83. However, I also love listening to these higher-handicap series to remind myself of some of these fundamentals. The biggest one for me GET IT ON THE GREEN, totally changed my mindset with my 100-30 yard shots (and even some of my short chips/bunker shots).

This works, I started thinking this way a year ago when I first saw this. Worked hard on my short game and devoted the majority of my range sessions on short game. I can say that last year I dropped my handicap from 25 to 12, I shot the fewest 90+ rounds in my life, and even broke 80 for the first time. In fact I shot a 79, 77, and a 74 last year! That’a the first time in my life I shot more 80s rounds vs 90-100 rounds in my life! Thank you for all of the help, and now I’m working towards hopefully single figure handicap this year!

[@dsshorty89]

Watched this video about a month ago before the golf season in my area, and my first 4 rounds 95, 96, 90, 86. I spent a lot of time chipping and putting before my first round and it is the difference between mid 90's and mid 80's for me. Thank you for the content!

After breaking 100 last month, just broke 90 today, twice in a row (yes i played 36 holes today) 87 !!! I must admit, i trained "hard" on the chipping/pitching green and on the putting green the last 6 weeks. More than i ever had before. Also had a lesson with a pro. My swing is ok, but i could learn about shot shaping, punch shots (which i now use a lot) and also about fitting. Thx Matt for telling people what they don't want to hear.

Subscribed. Absolutely the best no nonsense advice and approach to self improvement in your scoring. Course management within your ability and rational thought process. I played for 30 years and shot in the high 70’s to low 80’s. Then life’s circumstances had me away from golf for 15 years. Back at it now at age 71. Total relearning golfing. First rounds for me have been in high 90’s. But with reawakening a scoring strategy thanks to you I’m positive I’ll be back in the 80’s very soon. Just excellent advice on strategy and playing within your abilities. Thanks for reminding me.

[@supaTronic]

I shot an 80 yesterday and normally a (mid 90's golfer). I put in a lot of practice with swing technique for driver, irons, and specifically chipping. Amazing how hitting the driver and fairway straight and far on 80% of the holes, approach shots either within the chipping vicinity or on the green (your tip), and the chipping with only using one club (your tip) a pitching wedge huge game changer. Thanks so much for your advice. I'm done playing golf now lol.

[@ericmevans]

This. I did this exact thing this past weekend. Shot an 82. Lowest I've been in a while. Normally I'm around 88-92. It's all about relieving the pressure and just getting it on the green. I did find that my putting isn't the best...several standard GIRs with 3 putts. :( Now I know what I need to work on when the pressure isn't there. It's not about hitting it perfect every time. It's about having fun. :)

Hey Matt. Watched your video twice, took notes, went to course, no warmup, no practice in the nets, no practice with new putting tip (don’t lift head, listen for the rattle). I swear I wiped 5 strokes off my game, and had the most enjoyable round for many weeks. Only 95 today, but I know I left 5 out there with silly mistakes, putts and an over zealous punch shot with my hybrid. I feel confident now in breaking 90. I will post the payment to your PayPal account when I do. Watch this space. Oh, and thanks a lot!

[@good-fast-cheap-pk2]

I shot 89 using this strategy, and shot E to my hdcp on that day - on a new course, after a COVID recovery, having not hit a ball in two weeks. I would have shot 85 if I’d left the hybrid in the bag, would have shot 80 if I’d clubbed up properly to hit the green middles.

[@fangman2403]

This video is the truth!! Thank you playa! 2 things I took from this..."If you do something it's a glimpse into how good you can be" and "Practice 2:1 short game vs smashing balls and when you break 90 it will be way under 90"....I just shot under 90 for the 1st time...it was an 83 🤯!...Thank you, thank you, thank you

Just broke 90 with an 88 today for the first time and it was on a new course with 10-20mph winds! I've been golfing (infrequently) for 15 years and it feels so good to reach this milestone after such a long time! So thankful for these videos to get a refreshing mindset change. You rock @golfsidekick !!

Thank you playa. Well done and next step 79

[@bcmcgarrity]

@@GolfSidekick you know it! I definitely see the areas for further improvement already!

[@bobbycampbell3263]

From watching your videos and hearing you mention these concepts previously i am consistently shooting 82-88. Just wanted to say thank you and i hope you get the time to do a how to break 80 soon!

[@damianmalgas2784]

Took me 4 rounds but I finally broke 90. Thanks so much Matt. Really great stuff, much appreciated. 🙏🏼

I'm a huge believer that breaking 90 really just comes down to not trying to hit the ball too hard. Take your time with putts and make sure you take at least a few minutes before each round to putt on the practice green!

Tried this out today. I mostly flirt with 98 to 102 scores on my home course which i play 3 times a week. I have the skill for sure but i always held out for miracle shots with my worst clubs to save my round amd it usually goes the latter. Today i played a brand new course and played with 7 clubs and shot a 94 which felt amazing. 3 hybrid off the tee every hole. This way of thinking and over simplification is the way to go. I have no doubt ill be shooting under 90 at my home couse in no time. This guy knows whats up. If you can learn to let the ego go and play smart and to your strengths this will work!

Wadda Coach!!! Many thanks Mat for all these key fundamentals of golf! Magnifique

When I broke 90 for the first time many years ago I used a lot of the same and similar ideas you're talking about. They work. Instead of giving myself one extra shot per hole I would mark through the par on the scorecard and replace it with my average score for that hole, which I tracked over time for the courses I played regularly. This gave me extra-extra shots on my worse holes, which creates a lot of options to avoid losing strokes to penalities. Plus, I could be aggressive/confident for par or birdie on my better holes. If I played a new course then I would give myself an extra-extra shot on the four most difficult ranked holes and keep par on the four easiest.

Probably the best golf video I've seen - good job sir! I average about 93 and can't break 90, but play some great golf in places, too many stupid shots. Some great tips throughout, I'm confident that when I can get back on a course (lockdown) I'll be under 90 in 6 rounds. And I will gladly pay you the $40 - there you go thats my target - i'm not just going under, way under!!!

Hey Matt, I just wanted to thank you for sharing this information it totally works. The first time I tried using 7 clubs and following what you said and it was a bit of a nightmare but I adjusted things a bit with the clubs and I have been practising my chipping and especially my putting. I have also read Dr Bob Rotella's book on putting and its helped heaps as well. Just back from playing a stableford comp on a course with a slope rating of 126 using your methodology I shot an 87 which gave me 42 stableford points and 2nd. Only 3 putted once with a total of 32 putts, so there is room for improvement. Playing it as a par 90 I had 7 birdies, 7 pars and 4 bogeys. As a par 72 course its 7 pars, 7 bogeys and 4 double bogeys.Playing it as a Par 90 is psychologically way better to see it. Thanks again Matt. Love your work.
