This is how to break 90 consistently in golf. There is no other way. The ONLY difference between going from 95 down to 80 is to THINK. You need to be conscious. You need alternate clubs in your bag. Take 7 or less. The first time JMac broke 90, he used 4 clubs and a putter. The first time I broke 90, I was playing a Par 90 golf course.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

I'm a mid 90's golfer working on breaking 90. I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now and the last two times I played whenever I hit a bad shot the tuba song plays in my head, and I think "no one escapes the tuba". Love your videos!

Hi Matt, I took the "adjusted par" concept on the course last weekend. Apart from taking pressure off each hole, thinking more strategically made me more appreciate the dangers of some the greens and fairway setups and how to adjust the strategy to compensate. Came in with 32 points, but could have easily been better. Keep up the great videos!

Use the Playa method today for the first time. Still shot my average of 92, but I know what happened for that score. A couple of blow up holes cost me under 90. I need to work on my short putting and chipping and its going to happen. Thanks Matt!

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!

Nice playa, you probably can get to 82 easily. Just the first round, so give yourself a break and don't get too high expectations. Stick to the principles, and you will smash it!

Love this video and the teachings from it. I went through a period of consistently breaking 90, back in Scotland. After moving to Thailand I struggled to start with, but eventually broke 90 a few times. For about a year now I haven’t managed to get under 90, and sometimes struggle getting under 100. I play mainly bogey golf with a few pars here and there. But it’s the blow out 7s , 8s or 9s that let me down. I am following this process for my next rounds. And I will get back to breaking 90. Cheers Matt

Playa, this video has changed my game. I had been playing stress/ego golf for years (its how I was taught, 2 older brothers haha) and knew deep down this was the way to play, but for whatever reason not the self-confidence to implement it. From averaging around 95 with dreams of playing consistent bogey golf I am now down in the 85-90 range more often than not, and enjoying myself more than ever. Thank you for breaking it down and believing in us. You are the man.

Came here as a regular 80 golfer. Lately, I had some horrible collapses on the field. Rounds at +2/3/4 after 9 hole going down +25 by the end of the game. One reason for this: MENTAL! Hopefullly, this will help me give myself the mental strenght necessary to finish round properly again.

I watched this video last night and shot an 87 today...crazy...we'll see if I can do it again in a couple days. In the meantime i will watch the other video's in the series...Really good stuff

I may be jumping the gun a bit, but with the way Matt teaches, it gives you confidence in yourself!! I just played a new course Saturday for my birthday. I normally shoot in the 100s. In fact my highest score was close to 120. But I love the game and I told myself that I’m going to commit and get better. This Saturday I broke 100 with a 98!!! My lowest round ever at a new course!! And to think I could have shot a 94 because of a few bad putts and a OB ball lost in the water, really blew my mind! For those who are skeptical of his methods, I promise you, this guy is the real deal!! 💯 Thank you Matt for these videos!! I’m watching these videos now to work on my journey to breaking 90!!! 😊🙌🏾

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.
