How to Play Scratch Golf - STOP AND THINK

[@garyguthmiller9479]

Seems to me scratch golfers give EVERY SINGLE SHOT their upmost attention and then just as brilliantly they accept the outcome regardless and move on. I'll dwell on a duff or a pull 3 holes prior. The overall mental approach the biggest difference in my opinion

[@robertacierno2803]

Once you have the majority of “shots” in your bag, the game becomes mostly mental. Absolutely!

[@davidbarnard5873]

Or for par shooters that hit it short like me the pressure builds, in my last 6 rounds I'm 2 under but only 13 birdies so chuck a few bogeys in and I'm toast

[@MetalAsFork]

>upmost 😅

[@blindsquirrelly]

I think all the putts made within 5 ft was the most underrated thing I've seen Matt do in awhile...

[@cjpops76]

THIS. ALL. DAY. I found Golf Sidekick in 2020 during shelter in place. After watching my first 2-3 videos it was obvious to me that The Baus is one of the best amateur putters from 6 feet and in I’ve ever seen in my 21 years of obsession with this game. The putting this round was off the chain. 8, 9, 11, 16. All shortish putts that I miss more often than not. The putt for double on 12 was just silly and showed a tremendous amount of mental toughness given the context. The lag on 13 (among others) was sick. Whaddaputter. Whaddalegend.

Matt, your videos are just sublime. There is honestly no one else on the KZbins covering golf like this. I simply CAN NOT take another video of some guy showing me a different way to shallow out my swing. Keep showing us your rounds and teaching us the mental side of golf.

[@GolfSidekick]

Love that playa. Should i do videos on how to fix your slice?

[@holygrenade0159]

I just hit my first birdie a few days ago, and just broke 100 this last round. Thank you for all the help Matt, especially on the mental side of golf. I am so excited now to keep getting better and go for the next goal.

[@jackkinoff6943]

Keep at it The Birdies will come and soon enough you will get an Eagle You will be hitting in the 80s soon enough

Thank you! I am a 13 handicap and after I watched this video I played 78 on a tournament. This really works. :)

[@Bbro-ls1tu]

scratch golf is interesting. I play off of scratch myself, and it's a much different reality than people expect. Everyone would think we shoot around par, but the reality is that our scoring average is anywhere from 73-76. It's a level of golf where scores change day by day, not because they don't have a draw or because they can't hit a certain shot or whatnot. It's all dependant on the mental game, or if putts lip in or out, or some other outside factor. Scratch golf is where you play a course and not stress (too much) over mechanical/technical swing issues and focus solely on the strategy of the game, achieved by letting your body be a representation of what you visualize in your mind. The tee shot on this par 3 needs a high draw? Your body conforms itself to committing a draw and the score of the whole is dependant of the quality of the strategy, not the swing. I hope this comment is insightful and please if I missed something please add on or comment below, cheers!

[@michaelb6801]

Well said. I play off 3 and shoot 74 to 78 on average (occasionally have an off day and shoot an 80-82). Technique remains the same course to course, it's strategy that changes. Another helpful tip, if you want to get angry at a shot, use the 5 second rule. Scream at yourself internally for 5 seconds and then move the fu** on!

[@Bbro-ls1tu]

@@michaelb6801 getting frustrated will only make thing worse. That's a pretty good system, I might have to try that out.

[@kyleweir689]

@@Bbro-ls1tu I try to drill this into people when playing disc golf competitively. I see most of my friends/peers shooting poorly more because they can't accept a failure and move on or they don't manage themselves and the course well. You have to know what YOU can do and give YOURSELF the best opportunities to score (or best opportunity to not lose strokes). It's amazing how some people don't get it. I played with a few "bad" players yesterday and I was astonished at how often their decision making, not their skill, sunk them. I even told one of them, "If you know you can't get to this hole, why not play it to [right here] and just pitch up for the par?" It had never crossed his mind that he was making things worse by trying to birdie every hole (in disc golf typically every hole is a par 3 on most courses) and that's why his scores weren't improving.

[@TheDailyBoost]

Well said. 2.3HCP here but people say I am "scratch". In my mind I am not until my HCP is a zero but the way you word it makes sense. The difference in shooting a 74-76 to shooting a 71 or less is so small. Some days I play so much better and just do not have putts drop and my score is 3 strokes higher than a poor ball striking day but I shoot a 72 somehow. Golf is weird.

playing with scratch golfers and watching what they do and how they approach the hole and every shot from drive to putt is what has helped me to get to 3… I’m still striving for scratch and hopefully will get there soon!

[@LOF96]

There is NO better commentary golf videos on KZbin. Honestly you have built such a great brand and your channel in my opinion is #1.

[@MD20-20]

Most of the scratch golfers I’ve played with are sneaky good. They have bad shots, but never get upset. Just kind of plot around the course. But at the end of the round and they shot around par, I’m always a little surprised. It’s not like watching golf on TV where you only see these incredible shots. Scratch golfers misses are just more manageable and they really limit the amount of risk. Just like a playa.

[@jackkinoff6943]

Massive difference I have seen playing with them is they are playing a different game to the rest of us They are smacking them 250+ off the tee all the time and then hitting wedges into the green on Par4s where me playing off 13 am hitting in with a 5/6iron on the off chance I found the fairway and struck it well off the tee Then on Par5s they are either on in 2 or around the green for 2 or hitting a wedge on for 3 if they have to lay up Reality is they are hitting a lot of the same clubs Driver and 3 Wood and short irons and wedges where the rest of us get to work out the full 14 clubs more

[@erikschultz1626]

I’ve played with a scratch golfer a handful of times and I’ve always noticed how calm they seem. They never get to emotionally high or low. It’s always onto the next shot with full mental focus. They don’t do anything that most average can’t do but they don’t make the big miss/mistake. It’s seems more about pars and avoiding the big score than it is about draining birdies or eagles.

There was a part in the video where Matt is talking about envisioning himself pulling the putt from the cup. Then I started concentrating on my round yesterday and making some putts and for a few moments I swear I could actually see Matt’s mental projection of himself picking the ball from the cup. Something magical happened for me during this video and I can’t explain it. Religious enlightenment and astral projection I guess. Fantastic.

Currently working my way back to scratch (sitting at 3 right now) and your videos have been very inspirational, keep up the awesome work!

[@ponzischemer1424]

I’ve been scratch for decades and much of this video rings true for me. You cannot understate how well scratch golfers scramble which really means they pitch and putt very well. I’ve shot under par and hit 2 fairways and I’ve hit 13/14 fairways and shot 80. For me, the harder the shot, the better I seem to hit it. Psychology of focusing I suppose. I can also tell you match play is a great way to focus only on one hole at a time and play smarter on that hole. I thrive on the challenge of beating my opponent with a smother-hook 7 iron with a briar in my backswing while he thinks he has the hole in the bag with his center stripe drive. Mental toughness is the key.

Matt , i started watching your videos this season , i joined a golf club in April , i don't have a handicap but i'm playing towards it , earlier on I shot 116 over 18 holes and decided i needed to get under 100 first off. Anyway I found your break 100 video , started taking 7 iron off tee and it's amazing how finding a fairway gives you confidence , within 2 weeks i shot 96 Since then i've watched your break 90 videos , and today i shot 88 so $20 will be on its way to your patreon shortly , i'm striking my irons so much cleaner now and confidence growing , going for break 80 next thanks to you So in short Thank You you're videos are class

[@JoeRed1208]

I’ve just discovered your channel a few weeks ago & I have to say by following your method of going with the shots that will get you into better positions from the tee box have helped me improve a lot. Just knowing that I don’t have to take driver every tee shot has helped tremendously. Why was I doing that to begin with? It’s not even logical. I just think to myself, trust yourself when your -165 out because you know you can stick that shit solid. Drivers can get you in a lot of trouble sometimes, so go safe and possibly birdie or atleast par by using irons or a hybrid off the tee. Appreciate how you break this down to a person just trying to have fun with a hobby.

[@golferkevt]

Scratch golfers play boring golf, fairway, green, putt, putt, par. Next hole same boring thing. The scoring is great but the process is just boring as hell for me. I struggle to shoot par because I want to hit driver all the time and go for birdies and eagles any chance I get. Ignore tight pins and trouble, go for it every time. That's fun golf but my scores are in the high 70's most of the time. I enjoy your channel very much and try my best at stress free golf and still have fun. Thanks from So. California

You see someone play scratch and our looks so ready. What you haven't seen is the amount of practice they put in to make it look that way.

[@jpecora2]

I see a lot of comments about scratch players being calm and collected. I don't think you can reverse engineer that though. I don't think you can improve by being calm...you become calm and collected when you are confident in your abilities, which comes from practice and experience. It's easy to say "forget the bad shots" but try telling that to the playa who's close but never broken 80 and keeps falling short. I play off 4.8 but I think I can start to feel that calmness coming. I instinctively know good shots are coming even if this one was bad. Great video as always

[@Teerifficgolf]

I’ve never broke 80 and since switching from trying to hit a variety of shots I’ve gone to hitting a stock fade with every shot I can say I play a lot more calm and collected. Since doing that I’ve come close to breaking 80 more times this year than I have in the past 3 years

great video. is good to watch one in preparation for my Saturday golf - it puts me in a good frame of mind. i am in a similar boat. i'm off a 7 playing once a week with no practice. the big take aways for me is to think about the shots and to commit to them, to bag the ego and play within my capabilities and to play the percentages, and finally not to get upset if i play a poor shot or miss a putt. if i got concerned about the later i should get out during the week and practice. odds are i will play some poor shots, but as long as i do not drop my head i will inevitably make some good ones. i just and try and limit the damage when it goes astray (avoid the double bogeys) and make the most of the birdie opportunities and when they come around.

Thanks for the video. I find if we try to start out on the first tee and say we will shoot for a certain low score, it usually never happens.

Don't think about the score as we play the round and just play each hole the best we can course management wise. I have done allot of good rounds not thinking about the score until the very end.
