Playas, this is my first round in Thailand in 2019. It's the beginning of stress free golf where you can just think your way to better scores and select shots that you know how to play and maximize your strengths to shoot the best scores of your life.
In this first episode, I faltered along the way but for 16 holes, I held to the principles of stress free golf which you'll see was the ONLY way to play. Going forward, every video will be based around the concept of playing only the shots I know how to hit.
Srixon 2 iron I used: bit.ly/2JfWB00
In this video I learned:
1. STICK TO STRESS FREE GOLF IN ALL SITUATIONS
2. LISTEN TO THE VOICE IN MY HEAD SAYING "no"
3. BERMUDA IS WAY TOUGHER TO PUTT ON THAN BENT GRASS!
4. IF YOU KNOW THE SLOPES ON THE GREENS, SET UP EASIER APPROACHES WITH UPHILL PUTTS AND CHIPS!
5. EXPECT LESS ON THE GREENS. JUST PUT A GOOD STROKE ON IT AND EVENTUALLY YOU'LL MAKE THEM.

I gotta admit, I adopted your way of thinking and I've been doing way better now. I went from a 112 to an 89 in a week (no lie) by just thinking positively and using your method of playing golf. Cheers!

I am in high school and we had a golf tournament I am usually a mid 80s player but in a tournament a week ago I shot 96 and was aggravated because I can shoot better easily. My main problem is constantly outcome thinking “I need this and this to get this score” and it kills my mental game, I decided to go out there at the next tournament and focus and think ahead but at the same time have a positive attitude to the bad shots instead of getting aggravated. I shot 79 yesterday and I just want to say thank you!!!

You are changing my attitude toward the game! I lost a little over 120 pounds a couple of yrs ago and lost a bunch of strength with it! Quit the game for a year or so because of the massive loss of distance but have come back to the game within the last year. I'm back to a 4 handicap but that's playing from around 6,400 yards average. Any longer and I begin to get STRESSED about reaching greens and keeping up with "flat bellies". Your "chipping and putting" theory is 100% the correct approach to the game and I appreciate the inspiration! Keep the videos coming. Very informative as well as entertaining.

Second round of the year, with new irons and driver, I went to my local track. I was 5 over on the first 3 holes and I decided to go full Stress Free!. 39 on the back nine with at least a par putt on every hole. Took the driver out only once on the last 15 holes (ripped a monster drive down the middle) but kept it simple and stress free. Thanks Playa!

@GolfSidekick! Just followed! I found golf just over 3 short years ago and have fallen in love with it! As a life long athlete my 1st invite was from a friend who assured me that I would love the game, and man was he right! The whole thing is so humbling, size and athletic ability have nothing to do with the game at all! The entire game is 'mental' paired with practice, practice, practice and attitude. I cannot tell you how very much I appreciate your 'keep it simple stupid' approach to the game, and your candid sharing of course and stress management! Your channel has been critical to my own process of improving and I can share that since finding your channel I have gone from shooting triple digits to regularly shooting in the low 90s and I have no doubt that I'll be getting into the 80s and beyond with more "PLAY" (not work)! Thank you so much for all of your sharing, keep it up PLAYA!

I forced myself to play smarter golf on the back 9 yesterday. I started on the front with a 58 (4 drops) using my 3 hybrid and 4 iron which were hooking hard all day. On the back, I shot a 44 using only my 6 iron off the tee and breaking up approaching into two wedges. Your method really works.

When I finally realized how unimportant I am and how unimportant the game is I started shooting much lower scores. I don't analyze my swing or get upset over bad shots anymore. Bad shots are going to happen. A good round is obviously more enjoyable than a bad round, but they are both fun. I get to spend an afternoon with my friends whacking away on fantastic grass that I don't have to mow. Include the hour or so at the 19th hole and I am looking at 5-6 hours away from my nagging wife. I love the game on so many levels.

Thank you sir. Swing instrcution is useless actually unless it is with someone who really cares about you. Most of the time we make crap swings because of our thinking and our doubts and has nothing to do with mechanics. Majority of the time, instruction works only until you hit the course again and have a target in your way and your brain melts. Get over the doubt and fear first, learn to commit to shots and swing instruction might then be okay if their is PAIN or BIIIIIG slices.

I just started playing golf. I only do 9 holes. Playing about three times a week and practice a couple hours with a net. My buddy told me golf is easier and more fun when you’re relaxed and you just play. No stress or hype to do good. Just swing and play. I started out with a high handicap. Like 14 strokes on a par 4. But after just relaxing and just learning to hit and enjoy myself, I’m down to 7 strokes a hole. That’s after less than a month. Just relax and enjoy the day, best tip ever.

Hello, I found your channel by happy accident and I'm really very glad I did. I've been spending ages, (far more time than I should have), catching up with all your videos. I thoroughly enjoyed them all. Well done. My particular favourite was the match with Pun, it was wonderful. That's how golf should be played. I smiled the whole way through it. I hope to take your stress free golf out to my next round as it makes perfect sense. I've kinda always known that's how I should play, (I'm an 18 handicapper), but I do tend to overestimate my ability and take on shots that, at the best, I have a one in ten chance of pulling off, or, just as badly, compound one bad shot with the next. All the best and keep up the good work.

I just wanted to say that this method of playing is good for any level golfer! I generally mid to high 70s, and ever since adapting this mindset and working on my thinking on the course I've been doing better, and finally breaking par on Sunday! (Bogey free 70). Stick with this style of golf and you will find great returns at any level.

I just played a round yesterday with your stress free method. I never uncovered any of my woods and only used 5 clubs and shot an 86, I would have scored lower if my putting game was better. Thanks for the tips.

Good advice Matt, I played Chambers Bay(site of the 2015 US Open) yesterday with the stress free method and shot an 83, they just re-sodded the greens so they were not consistent yet. but when I played there in 2017 I shot a 103.

Can you do a video on feet placement? Ball placement on drives, irons. I’ve actually regressed horribly and I’m not enjoying the game this season. I’ve lost all my confidence. Best round of my life was an 81. I am shooting mid to high 90’s now and I honestly don’t know where the ball is going when I hit it. I’ve lost complete command of my my ball. Love your videos and plan to reset and use your advice to get to where I was.

Would love to. It's worth my time after they learn the principles and are comfortable with the new thinking. Most people are VERY VERY resistant to hitting two wedges because it is like a blow to the ego or something they've never done so it's a weird feeling. After some time maybe 4 or 5 rounds, they should be good value. Only thing is finding someone.

Been beating them last 2 times I’ve shot a 49 worst golf I’ve played in over a year. Ob shots killing me. So I’m only playing driver on one par 5 today. Got to get back on top
