HOW TO BREAK PAR - DECISIVE STRESS-FREE SUPER GOLF PART 1

[@anthonybruno5250]

I typically hit high 90s or low 100s. I've been watching your videos about course management and managed to hit 85 last week. Go Golf!

[@GolfSidekick]

I would call that a result playa

[@nelsonthepoodle1181]

GAINS

[@GetGoodwithVince]

I was shooting 110-120 and after finding this channel and binge watching every video I quickly got that below 100 regularly. My last 15 rounds I shot a high of 98 and a low of 91. I just can’t seem to improve my putting and that is keeping me from breaking 90. This guy should write a book and cash in because this stuff works.

[@corydanielson7369]

Nice! How was that round different than a normal round? Less driver off the tees?

[@anthonybruno5250]

@@corydanielson7369 It was 100 degrees so that forced me to take my time, which helped. Also, I played to my slice on open holes and ditched the driver all together on narrow or "dangerous" holes. This helped me avoid any 2 stroke penalties that I commonly run into. Aside from that, correct club selection and luck.

[@troykyser8883]

Your golf philosophy has not only helped me improve my game but made me enjoy playing again. Like when I first started playing. I got so caught up in the rat race of trying to hit certain shots so that I could feel like a good golfer but I always just hit them bad and made my golfing unenjoyable. Thank you for what you do I'm back to fun relaxing golf

[@GolfSidekick]

Excellent news playa. Simplify everything and enjoy what you can do, then add in the more difficult stuff later playa waddaphilosophy

[@bbohning]

Another great video I've watched more than once. On your 50 yard shot(s)--the one on No. 7 in particular, I've found the best way to hit shots from 30-75 yards is to really focus on rotating left once you've got your backswing to where it needs to be. I paused the video at 10:48 where your impact is on that "My worst: 50 yards" shot on 7, and you can see that your hips and shoulders are still square to the target after the ball has been struck. This was my problem forever until I started watching countless tour pros hitting these low 1-2 hop lasers from 40-75 yards and they all do the same thing: fire the hips and keep their body rotating making the arms and hands complete passengers on the shot.

[@bbohning]

Conversely, on your pitch on the very next shot, you will see that you rotate exactly like I am saying to do on the 50 yard shots. Just take your pitching technique and apply it to those 30-75 yarders and all your videos will be "Breaking Par" videos, playa!

[@mcfly2727]

[@GolfSidekick]

Fairy dust is legit. Put the shot triggers in your bag and save them!

[@stevebrawner9119]

Matt thanks for all the advice I really like the videos, it has improved my game immensely. Since watching went from a 12 to a 7 in a matter of months, no swing change just a mind change. My tip to you is, make your weakness your strength. If you struggle with 50 yard shots, hit them at the range until you get them to perfection. I used to struggle with 50 to 70 yd shots, I practice them for about 3 months, and now I love them. Thanks again for all the advice, it truly has made a huge difference.

[@GolfSidekick]

I can only make a weakness a strength if I practiced enough. Between work, making videos, creating products and playing golf, I haven't got much time. I mean I can jam those shots and I do exaggerate a little on them that I am useless. I want to show playas there is no need to focus on what you CAN'T do as so much golf "destruction" not instruction focuses on. I did practice these shots while in Malaysia and I can only really do it on a grass practice facility because the artificial turf mats turn me off. In Bangkok. no real facilities, so will be looking to move to a new location where I have a good facility nearby and work on a few things. There is a lot to work on for me to get to the scratch level

[@robertnorman5440]

Thanks for all your great videos. You describe game changes that work around the swing the player has and make it easy to understand. I have been playing for about 10 years and would rarely break 90. I have been watching your videos for about a month now and played about 10 rounds. I now consistently shoot in the low 80's and the last two rounds I played I shot a 79 and a 76. Thanks so much stress free golf like a bauss works amazing, when I make a bad shoot now I'm not even thinking about it 10 seconds later. That has alot to do with more striking consistency so my bad shots aren't nearly as bad as they used to be. Anyway course managment, playing to your strengths, and avoiding hazards at all cost even if it means not getting on the green, chipping, putting and not stressing out, these are things you preach over and over and brother you have converted me and I am more than thankful. I was about to quit and you saved my game and when I play now I feel like I'm actually playing golf and pretty good at that. Keep the great content up and the stress down, thanks for everything your doing.

[@EndlessANARCHY]

[@GolfSidekick]

Woah, down to 7.2 or you cut off 7.2 shots?!??!

[@mbatts3924]

Cut off 7.2, In a month! Was stuck for a long time, nearly two years. Was making bad decisions, shot choices. Practiced my short game and eliminated those silly shot choices I was making. Took your simple idea of taking stress free shots with clubs I’m confident with. Simple as that. Was like a eureka moment.

[@carlmunkwitz4689]

My Golf game has become enjoyable again - reduced stress equals more fun - I will never break par again but made a few pars and a birdie last night while playing to my handicap exactly and having a great time. Thanks for the attitude adjustment.

[@GolfSidekick]

Excellent news playa. The fact that you made a few birdies and pars means you could do that more often which means you could get closer to breaking par. Your capability is infinite if it is a priority and you are willing to do anything big poppa. No doubt. The streaks guys go on where they make 5 or 6 pars and a birdie (while playing off a 16 handicap) is a glimpse into their true potential. We have been conditioned to believe this si a fluke and that we will surely fail eventually and then the head worms come in and the guy makes 3 doubles in a row expecting the implosion. Keep going playa, you will be better than you can currently imagine and don't be embarrassed to have lofty ambitions that others laugh at, while they smash another 300 yards Oscar Bravo.

[@aaronmarines1826]

Faithful viewer here. I thought that I understood what "stress free" meant. Not really, Last night in my league, I had maybe the most stress free, easiest round of my life. Got there early and had a great warm up. Temp was great. Playing partner was pleasant without being intimidating. I didn't have the best round of my life -- although it was very good. It is just that every shot was easy. I bet I swung hard twice. Two stressful shots. One was partially behind a tree and one short sided in bunker. My misses were in the right places, so I could swing easy on the next shot. I two putted every hole, but never holed anything longer than 2 feet (I dont know the meter equivalent off the top of my head). It was so much fun -- almost zen. Thanks for the help.

[@GolfSidekick]

Yes the ultimate goal is to be in a state of Zen. The day you think of nothing, with no doubts and no fears ever creeping in, is the day you go low. This is the hardest part, the trust that we can just swing and just stroke and putt and the ball will go where we want. We always want to get in the way and create scenarios where we fail in an attempt to cushion the blow of when we do "inevitably" fail

What I love about your philosophy is that it’s essentially the ultimate “Dumbo’s feather.” 1. Practice as much as you can 2. Only hit the shots you have time to practice 3. Play smart when you’re on the course. You’ve packaged what should be obvious into something people can really get excited about. And while I’ve intuitively known it to be true as long as I’ve played, I still walk around planting feathers and yelling “whaddaplaya!” every time my son hits a good shot. And I’m having more fun playing and shooting better scores.

[@renaissanceengineering-lee4210]

For some reason hearing you talk about golf not being a game of perfection got me over this weird obsession I've had at the range of being perfectly consistent before I go play any more games. It's caused me more stress and that just breaks the first rule ever. Maybe if I'm really good at rescuing my shots, I don't have to have so much pressure on each shot to be absolutely perfect. Thank you!

[@4Stanzas]

Hopefully, you'll enjoy yourself out there more than ever now.

[@GolfSidekick]

Seeking perfection and expecting perfection in golf is the best way to eventually give up completely. Keep that philosophy of confidence that no matter what happens on any given shot, you are the man from there on

[@Medic876]

A tip that helped me with feel on putts. I notice you start walking away as soon as you hit a putt. Instead, stay still and allow that visual feedback to absorb into your mind and link up to the physical feedback you just experienced when you hit the ball. Walking throws more physical data at your brain when it should be absorbing visual data and relating it to the physical data. You can do this with all shots, stay still, hold the finish, and link the visual to the physical. Great video as usual.

[@HARDBALLWITHHERMAN]

Thanks man, your golf management lessons are wonderful. Continue to do what are you doing now cause you've made a nice job till now. Don't look at the negative comments. Regarding to your problem, hitting up on the club face, don't change your stance just grip down the club 1 inch. Try to see what's happen and then let me know.

Thanks man, love the vids!

1. I was in the process of receiving a new wedge from a subscriber who wanted to sponsor me a wedge. That 52° was J-Mac's as I was testing if I wanted that one which I did end up getting (Taylormade Milled grind) I now have a set up of 45° 47° 50° 54° 58° 2. I don't think of working the ball with any technique. I merely think it while I take practice swings. I over-exaggerate the movement I want on th epractice swings, so when I stand over the shot, I hit my normal shot and just accept that my body will do what I encouraged it on the practice swing, just a tamer version. The driver is a natural fade. For a draw, I want to finish with my hands almost resting on my left shoulder. That's what I focus on. Irons have always drawn, I guess because of my rotating clubface through the ball. To fade it, I keep high hands which is a feeling I found on the range. I don't focus on grip, swing path, technical. Just feelings

Thanks for that info.. quite eye opening! Don’t feel obliged to answer this follow up on your shot shapes... But if an approach shot calls for a fade, do you attempt to fade the iron? Or just do what you can with your natural draw? Thanks Brethren!

@@jpm7049 I faded one on the 8th hole and the 18th hole. I don't really see much value in it. On those holes, I think it's best to just playu your shape to the center of the green. It brings in too much uncertainty and stress hitting a fade with the irons for me because it almost NEVER works out the way I want it to.

On hole 4 when just off the green why not putt with a hybrid to increase your chances? Works well when farther away so I don't worry about skulling or chunking and not being on the green.

Hole 6 is a better example actually.

[@GolfSidekick]

@@pwhitdog Because I don't ever use that shot and I don't own a hybrid. I don't skull and chunk myu wedges when chipping because I practiced the hell out of them so then they become my best clubs. The hybrid off the side of the green is not in my top 5 best shots to hit around a green, and I would rather blade a wedge, or putt it than use a hybrid with a bouncy face. It comes out too hot for me

@@GolfSidekick thanks for the reply. I enjoy your videos and it has helped me with my own game, broke 90 yesterday!

yo BF. i've been using an adaptation of the "nail in the back of the ball" swingthought with my irons and it helps me clear my hips. however, when i try "swinging through" as a swingthought i often start topping the little fucker. you dig?
