Brother, this old, disabled man started golfing a couple years ago as a poor ball-striking range rat and actually started playing for earnest this past year. I am now a bogey golfer and I actually shot a 39 for 9 with only 4 clubs ( 7 and 9 i, PW and putter ) last August because I employed 'the way of the playa' philosophy to my game. I now carry 7 clubs max and even though winter is settling in and the weather turning into crap cakes here, I look forward to next season. Thank you, Matt!

[@connorwagstaff2348]

You're the man !!

[@Golfadddict]

Redundant driver = cerebral golf. Gr8 chipping options displayed too. Looked like fun, a great way to enjoy a course.

[@spidy791]

Living for these videos 😂 Helped me drop from an 18 handicap to around 9 in 6 months. A lot of us have no choice but to hit driver on a lot of parkland courses especially with the weather and little roll out. Already had a few guesses but I’m going with a 1.8 handicap for the end of your trip

[@connorwagstaff2348]

2i brother, way of the playa

[@richardcreed3700]

Great advice Matt. Your videos changed me from a gorilla, always hitting for the perfect huge shot to a boring golfer. I love it, thank you

[@MarkBreton]

Love your videos. I watch them just to meditate on the calming delivery. I did myself a huge favor and quit watching golf. I just care about playing it, not buying gear and trying to smash everything all of the time. Thanks!

[@FlankerJackChannel]

I think you described me perfectly when you say stop worrying about the length of the course. That's exactly what's on my mind for my tee and second.

[@stanleyyelnats1313]

Something i love about your videos is that you're showing us how to "play and have fun". Thanks for a "normal" guy guide to success.

[@jeffkliewer537]

Great series! I've watched all of them and check several times a day for new videos!

[@suesserj17]

"The joy of missing out"! Another lexiconic masterpiece

[@Klimwriter]

Thanks for adding the course info! Me and my friends are digging this content!

[@tonylewis8370]

Good to see you made it onto Lundin. Now I have first hand knowledge of how to play the course properly!!

[@metalheads-golf]

Although the first puts did not the luck it received ... but it was so steady close for so many tap-ins. Awesome and ... game seemed pretty stress free. Coolio. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@franklinniesterjr3812]

Love your videos, and Ive watched them all. Ive noticed that you play POSITION GOLF, but more importantly, youre a fantastic putter. Youve said you sometimes have trouble seeing the line, but your distance control is SWEET!! Keep the vids coming as I look for them everyday. Maybe one day you'll vacation at PINEHURST. Would love to show you some of the best public courses in the area!!!

[@leemeadows5764]

Love your work Matty, learning the way of the Playa. Your comforting positivity is so infectious. ❤

[@NJcinemaHD]

It is actually insane how much smoother your swing looks compared to all the other scotland videos!

[@GolfSidekick]

Completely different game when in with subscribers vs getting to play my way. This round fixed a lot of stuff. Gets a lot better after this because of this rounf

[@nodisintegrations5247]

Just shot my personal best 76 on probably the last outting of the year North East America (~10 HC) my avg score was 87 on the year. Love the vids. Driver is my greatest strength when it’s on, but on holes it doesn’t make sense or I’m not comfortable I love the 5i off the tee. Keep up the good work.

[@djamani9013]

Hole 13 would be my worst nightmare... Par 5 with a highway on the right, just waiting for an almighty slice to hit a car 😅

[@kennymacm3031]

These videos have really helped my mindset

[@beanieservi7085]

This video and the one on hacking has encapsulated for me the breaking 80 and strokes shaved info I’ve been studying for the past month or so. FANTASTIC Matt. Thanks so much!!!!⛳️⛳️⛳️😍😍😍

[@toddlee2074]

Your conntent has helped me play better golf!

[@trogdor21997]

Played this course while I was in Scotland this past July. Loved it. Not true links the whole time but made for a really fun and unique round

[@GolfSidekick]

Yeah they split the 18 holes that was originally there into 9 and 9 i think. So lundin got 9 and leven got 9 original holes. Then they built their own new 9 holes to fill up 18. They still play the mcdonald trophy or something there over only the original 18 holes laid out by tom morris

[@Ranger330]

Nice to see the old smooth swing again!

[@user-eq5jb6xj7v]

Great videos Matt. Did you notice that most of your putts are issued on the right side? Enjoy and continue to feed us with your great shots

[@randycone6782]

Needed that one!

[@drroger98]

This is the first of your Scotland series that you seem yourself in swing tempo. Good job mate. I stand by 1.5

[@JiKimbo]

Proper chilled golf. Love it 👍

[@MD20-20]

What a great series Matty boom boom. You have the patience of a saint. I would seriously struggle with accepting bogey on the tee box. I would be thinking shot shape to keep me out of trouble. Tee it low and play a little fade fairway finder, for example. But that is me with my own golf neurosis. Guess for handicap, scratch playa.

[@GolfSidekick]

that hole, 99% of golfers not making par no matter how much they try into a 2.5 club wind

[@douglasaird1651]

Great to see you playing Lundin Links, one of my favourite local courses. I definitely play it like a hacker!

[@BigD1957]

The swing is smooth, fluid and very stress free looking. Whataswinger!

[@stanleyyelnats1313]

My wife tells me all the time. Play YOUR speed...as long as you aren't spending 10 min looking for balls or talking when you're open....they can piss off. You paid the same price as they did. I'm fine with people playing thru...thanks for you vids....they've been extremely helpful to me.

[@tonymiddlehurst8438]

Playing like a boss there Matt, nice work.

[@richardfoster8556]

Great video and advice 👍 love your way of looking after the game lol r&g

[@Norfolknoel]

Really enjoyed watching this. My god you make golf look so simple and enjoyable

[@byansel8060]

Played lundin 2 months ago. Probably 1 of the most fun courses in scotland!!

[@20ATS]

You took a day trip to Tempo Town! Smooth.

[@craig3775]

Lovely tempo today Matty and nice chilled attitude 👍🏌️‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@JeromeBourgeois27]

This last video is a pleasure. The pace with the putter is amazing. Your maximum handicap at this time won't be higher than 3.4. On the 6 last course, you should shave some stroke. 2.3 easy at the end of the trip maybe 1.5. And this is awesome 'cause you don't know any courses ! Waddaplay !

[@simonbastin5346]

Looking smooth Matty boy🎉

[@gabriel222]

The most relaxed golf swing on KZbin

[@ohwowthatsgood]

Olde Maren Morris put together some good golf courses. Nice round, the swing was looking like a smoothie.

[@steveprichard8723]

Great swinging this round Matty...on another day with better luck with the putter you could have been par or better 🙌

[@QueensWino]

Got a chuckle out of the electrotrolley scooting up to your ball as if by magic, or otherwise pushed by The Invisible Playa!😂 You have all the cool toys!

[@kofno]

Finishing the round with the same ball I started with is always a good metric for how I played. And even a mediocre score feels better if I didn't have to look for a ball.

[@GolfSidekick]

10000% under estimated power of not looking for balls like a hack

[@joshuaknowles]

Hey Matt, 9 handicap here with just a suggestion for YOU for driver. You hit your irons well (and far) with quite a lot of lag. When hitting driver, because the club is longer, you might need to let it catch up to the hands earlier in the downswing. Just wonder if you have ever worked on that..

[@YouveBeenMiddled]

Nice round, your swing looks much better! No more swinging out of your shoes, playing smart golf. well, maybe those shots on 15...

[@paulgriffiths1566]

A gorgeous, stress-free round.

[@callum760]

I got an ad whilst the tripod fell at 6:42 straight into a mattress/sleepwear commercial, made me laugh.

[@edc7880]

Great 75! What did you do with your golf trolley when you returned to Thailand? Thanks for the show.

[@leomartino8783]

Love the two guys at 2:50 just watching the ball after you hit

[@ollyw2897]

Probably no idea they were watching the Baus. 😁

[@stevesteve4396]

I play as a single a lot. It always bugs me when a group rides up on me. I will find myself rushing and then waiting on the next shot. even though it is the group somewhere in front of me slowing things down and not me.

[@RichardDocking]

That 3i off the tee on 8 was a thing of beauty. Handicap guess: 1.9

[@Randsurfer]

When it comes to Golf: Best is playing golf. 2nd best is watching Matty boy play golf.

[@blindsquirrelly]

Great series so far! It would be cool to see the slash and gash strategery too. Just bomb it and try and recover. Would the handicap be the same?

[@GolfSidekick]

No it would be higher. because you lose balls in the gorse. It’s worse than a water hazard because it’s a lost ball and you have to hit from where you last hit with as penalty shot.

[@tho70mas]

Beautiful tempo! Great score without making any putt! Your 3 and 4 irons goes as far as most people's driver though😁

[@phillipismay3585]

Great video Matty, new shoes? Look cool howd they feel? Brabd?

[@lucasmeijer525]

Great vid, 4:30 sounds like a driver tho😂

[@danielowen5889]

My 3.2 guess isnt holding up... but the insight is priceless... Thanks Baus

[@spuddie1103]

What Takoma irons do you play and what is your thoughts on them,I'm seriously thinking about getting a set for myself,

[@yummytopdj]

Great vid Matt keep um coming 0.4

[@normansmyth2079]

Hey Matty Cakes, long time no chat or comments, blame me for that! But I will partially blame you, and you'll gladly take this blame! I love the series as you know, and the whole WOTP. I have for years now. This year, it REALLY clicked. Playing smart, not listening to shizen talk from your buddies ("4 iron on a par 5 off the tee?), not being a hero, playing the hole backwards, GIOTG, etc. I still watch all your videos don't get me wrong, but comment less cuz you made me a playa, and for that I thank you kind sir/Lithuanian boyfriend! 🤗

[@ml9316]

Hole 11 was brilliant. If you were playing a competitive round and made that stress free par without a driver and putting from 30+ yards you would drive your competitors crazy because they just doubled after losing their second shot to a bunker or the long grass. I have to remember the WOTP more often.

[@drummerAVA]

10:46… that’s the way of the playa

[@timwakley1770]

I enjoy😂

[@dahoop5933]

Lag putting like a boss.

[@siim69]

Im not sure why but that outro song makes me happy

[@micahdegouveia6807]

Just here to see if anyone else noticed the driver sound from a 3 iron on hole 8? Love the series. 0.3 hcp

[@micahdegouveia6807]

Ah nvm.. just got to the part where he said the mic was off 😆 well edited, had me second guessing.

[@britishbulldogish]

'Since Cardi B' 😂- yeah Matt, I saw it......

[@joeypiatek6792]

“Since cardi b”. Game is looking good my man

[@Pollutens]

Matty boom boom, I have a question. How much does the wind in your 11:39 putt come into play. I see it's heavy, but it's still a rolling ball, do you factor wind at all in this situation?

[@GolfSidekick]

Yeah the wind affects the ball on the putts a lot. Especially as the ball loses speed. Sometimes the wind can negate the slope if it’s blowing in the opposite direction. Sometimes a flat putt can feel uphill cos the wind us into you

[@robbozzo3068]

Gosh Matty the 3i sure did sound like a driver on Hole #8 haha

[@andrewbrewer5528]

I thought you were going with some ASMR when your microphone wasn’t working. Playa and Chief aka Any Handicap Whisperer.

[@chrispalmer9952]

Lekker boet! 👍

[@badebw]

Now thinking 1.3

[@fretless05]

I got a kick out of your technique of putting with the flag propped against your side! You've said it time and again, but this video makes clear that the Way Of The Playa is all about the short game. Setting up your approach/chip and lagging the putts close keeps the big numbers off the card. You approach the course like an engineer, knowing your game, looking at what the hold has to offer, and optimizing your shots to give yourself the best opportunities. Thinking makes the game simpler... then it's just a matter of execution.

[@GolfSidekick]

Advanced level putting cheat code

[@yoshigg]

Kinda curious how frequent you were playing in Scotland. Like 3-4 times a week or more?

[@GolfSidekick]

Almost every day

[@mister.wizard]

Matt, you cracked me up when you said is a the traffic coming from and then you said don’t they know who I am? 😂😂😂😂😂 By the way how are you liking your motorized cart? What make an model is it?

[@chrisj8693]

Lundin is one of the best courses of Scotland. And infinitely better value for money than kingsbarns etc

[@badebw]

1.7

[@hfunable]

And looking for balls can be strenuous for Old golfer like me. 😂

[@AUSaviatorAK]

Guess number 2 I’ll go with 1.3

[@tubopedia]

Did you put driver audio over the 3 iron ? 4:32

[@GolfSidekick]

Yes sir

[@tubopedia]

The JOMO is real 🤣

[@ryanthomas3534]

I'm going with 1.2 handi at completion.

[@mattsub9659]

Peter Finch sent his goons after Matty 😮

[@pbrown2887]

6.3 boom boom

[@danielhenry6843]

Reckon you'll make a 0.3

[@xColinMc1888x]

Short game tidy as ever. New handicap guess 0.9

[@ollyw2897]

15:39. “Your only fans you simp” ??😂🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Golfguy1]

Getting older. Losing distance quicker than I like…but some of your playa tips have really helped adjust my thinking . Distance is not necessarily the key…🏌🏿‍♂️⛳️😎🇺🇸👍

[@rikh78]

seriously how many pairs of shoes do you have on this trip ???!!!

[@lukaszczyzo9105]

they way youre going, 1.1 handicap

[@jbacker1190]

At 15:30, what are the subliminal messages with the 45°chip? And why do I feel like grabbing a Coke right now?...

[@anischab]

I liked that mulligan pitch to the lip… I usually do that too… I chip one and pitch one… most of the time I chip well with confidence but the pitch feels more natural and gets closer. 🏌️‍♂️

[@jamesmadelaine3017]

Joy of lipping out.

[@andriesvanvuuren4398]

Blerrie moegoe manparas 😂😂😂 looking for balls 🥸

[@whenmullet2674]

Tell that guy with the goofy bucket hat to quit walking in your putting line.

[@andriesvanvuuren4398]

Why do you stop your follow through on most shots?

[@suecobandito8954]

Booker T., best.

[@phillipismay3585]

Sorry Brand?

[@saijinkai]

Wait a minute. 4:30 is a 3i, why does it sound like you hit a driver?
