Hey Matt, what is the program that you use to show the distances at 1:39? I would love to use it to do some planning for my next round of golf

[@JDoe1777]

Love the nod to Trent and the Foreplay boys! Nice stuff as always my guy.

[@_bermuda]

You’re such a great teacher. Your passion for golf and for teaching shines in your interactions after each shot.

[@rimrockerytcallofdutyconte9327]

This series is right where Im at. Looking forward to it. Love the dedication at the start too

[@xShieldFX]

Started playing serious about 8months ago. I always play my rounds with the ~way of the playa~ in mind. Well after a couple 85-83s I’m happy to report this boyfriend finally shot a 79 last round 😤

[@lincman3241]

great job have the exact same story

[@kevin1873]

Perfect golf philosophy. I gave up watching instructional videos long ago. Instead I've stuck to the fundamentals of golf and a simple proper grip video that actually changed my iron shots for the good. Everything else is just in my head and that I work on during every round. Like Matt says, you have to get our of your own way.

[@derrickmoore9180]

I like where the caddie was challenged to a putt. I tried that in Thailand years ago on a 20 footer and my caddie was getting frustrated with me. I handed her my putter and said “show me”. She drained it. If I had any pride in my putting I would have been crushed, but it ended up being a great experience.

[@kevinvasquez9951]

Good job B-Dog, you’re giving me hope. You are so lucky to have your good buddy The Baus Man himself helping you with things like your alignment. I played last week, played well for a couple holes then I found chunky monkey followed by a thin mint. While this was happening the “Tuba” started playing in my head, I started to laugh. My buddy said at least you’re still smiling, I replied “it’s the tuba” he didn’t know what I was talking about. After the round I tried to explain the tuba, then showed him. He laughed and said “ Well, that tuba followed you around for about 6 holes” 🤦🏻‍♂️ On a positive note, you now have another follower. Thanks again for the funny and educational videos.

[@gohawks7136]

Happy to see a new upload today! Always hope to see one when I open the app. I’m currently trying to break 100 (shot a 102 today) and I feel like these more advanced videos are still relatable to players in my range. Thank you for posting and giving out all of this advice!

[@ollyw2897]

Just what I need this series. I’m starting to shoot mid-low 80s and it’s inside 100 where I’m leaking shots - Not getting close enough on chips after missing GIR. Too many 3 putts. Looking forward to more B Dogg. Those iron strikes were sweet as a nut!

[@vaypor79]

oh snap, the call out to Trent from BS...I was thinking of the Playa-in-chief's advice during Trent's who breaking 100 series. All he needed was one video.

[@wjbaker11]

100% believe in the sensual towel. Had one of my group members keep trying to get in my cart because of the attraction to the towel. After going 11 over through 6, I went into zen mode and went 3 over for the next 12 holes for an 86 at a course my previous best was 97.

[@mattz0rr]

Love watching bdog play over the last few videos, i get excited for him when he re aligns and nails a great shot. Very inspirational, i hope i can take some of these tips and apply them to my own game, i am a beginner and have played under 10 games, seeing his improvement really makes me want to put the effort in to challenge myself to be more consistent. Good shit playa!

[@lachd2261]

I've never seen a man love a 4 iron as much as BDog. A match made in heaven.

[@Oakeybloke]

Bdog has come on so much, so impressed at how he has separated that right elbow from the body and freed his swing up, something I have been working on. Even more impressed with how he laughed at the lip out on 11, after a tough hole, I think we can all learn something from Bdog there 👌🏼 Keep it going!

[@marclafleur1096]

All though I really only started playing golf this year.... Even though I have hacked at it 6 years prior to this one I'm happy where I'm at because I broke 100 and 90 this year! I hope to break 90 on the regular next year consistently! Thanks for the advice along the way..... What a playa!

[@scotbaxter1579]

Great to see BDOG Back in the videos. His go to 4ir off the tee box is a Great Weapon Fairway Finder. Way to Go brah. If you wouldn’t have told us he hasn’t been playing, I wouldn’t have noticed. He is playing very well. Great Job BDOG.

[@jackkinoff6943]

Just rewatched the video of B Dog playing like a busted ass before his lesson before watching this The contrast is massive from then to now Good to see his hard work is paying off Way to go B Dog

[@ZZanther]

Holy shit I finally broke 90 after years and years of cut and paste golf with a clutch 89. Would not have been possible without the way of the playa, thanks Matt I really appreciate all this work you do ❤️

[@dtemple67]

Come for the golf, stay for the philosophy and psychology! Love your mindset playa.

[@JoJoMcFarley]

Holy cow Bdog has improved so much! What an absolute playa!

[@IanIanBoBian]

As a regularly-break-90-but sometimes-not playa trying to break 80, I'm loving this. Great channel that hits a ton of parts of the game that others don't even talk about!

[@donutkastle]

Bdog definitely my favorite playa. Keep up the good work!

[@BaldyFella]

Superb vlog Matt and well done BDOG. I do feel he needs a longer but ore trustworthy club off the tee for the longer par-4. Either 3 or 5 wood or 2-iron.

[@j.lizbardo]

This channel is incredible. Thank you from colombia, south america

[@mrwibbly]

you're ABSOLUTELY right about loving your clubs. they don't have to be perfect and the numbers don't have to be "ideal", your feelings about the club will trump any specification when it comes to results.

[@billyarroyo5900]

My goal for tomorrows round....have my 5-9 irons sound like B-Dog's 4 iron. Waddanice sound!!!! Huge improvement on his iron play!!!!

[@GolfSidekick]

Amazing changes playa

[@murraybullock8843]

LOVE your work - just like a BAUS!

[@asht7290]

This course looks Beautiful

[@peppapigthematerialgirl]

Wish I could crush my 4 iron like that 👌…. Love these type of episodes you do, keep up the great work buddy 👍

[@aviatoraw]

When his backswing is slow and deliberate his body falls right into sequence and he crushes his irons. His pulls always have a quick backswing and he spins out of it IMHO. You have done a wonderful job with him.

[@GolfSidekick]

Good thinking. Tempo is everything

[@RomeoBlues-dx6dg]

I was just fitted for a driver. Curious to hear more about Bdog's fitted driver specs, since we appear to be similar in skill level/swing speed.

[@cpall056]

The lie on some recent Cobra drivers is very upright which can cause big hooks depending on delivery. I'm guessing that's what Matt is referring to given the constant duck hooks seen in this video.

[@keltoncrane7571]

With fittings you can be with in similar skill levels and swing speed but delivery is the main factor. Swing path and delivery loft make huge difference between everyone’s swing. I believe that equipment and swing go hand and hand to help your game.

[@GolfSidekick]

This driver was fitted with the view of him swinging some newfangled swing idea that the dude was trying to reinvent the wheel on. Dude was telling him he wants BDog all the way down to 7.5 degrees. I was like WTF the dude can't even hit a driver right now, and we're aiming for 7 degrees??? It's got a Stiff shaft in it i Dont know what brand though, whatever it is, it's scheisse for him. So I gave him a Ping G410 with regular shaft to get him to just relax and slow the F down because the shaft is too flexible for smashing. WORKED LIKE A BAUS....next 5 videos will show my genius

[@altonrobinson8402]

The positive reinforcement is great!

[@Ledgechops]

I am amped for this series! B-Daaaaawwwwwwggggg! Awooooooo! 🐺

[@creamabdul-jabbar6722]

Have same problem same shot shape with my cobra driver. To hit a decent draw I have to tee it up very high and get a lot of forced side bend but I’ll hit it good doing this(at times) or go for a cut that has a mind of its own. Either prettiest straight baby fade you’ve ever seen or no way in heck that it should do this but will sometimes even trying to really cut it will go straight where I’m lined up and have a baby draw which is usually in the trees because I’m not lined up for the shape. It’s time for a new one myself I’m looking into ping g425 all woods. What did b dog end up going with? Looking for suggestions because we are very similar in our game

[@jekd798]

Love the Bryson easter egg with the cobra driver xD

[@GolfSidekick]

More the shirt

[@RydenEden]

my problem was a snap hook... it used to be a great pushed draw.. i just adapted gripped it with an open club face... and now i play a fade that is almost dead straight... that would be my advice every time take it out and grip it a little more open until it starts going straight or fading barely that is what i did

[@johnbrewins6227]

OK, I should have watched the whole video before starting to comment!!!

[@xWESTICLESx]

Helluva ball striker, that BDog.

[@dereklakeland]

I was so exited about seeing this series and a new video, I immediately purchased a Tuesday Red shirt. Much like B-Dog, I Can't wait to try and break 80 with it! Will we be seeing JMAC breaking 80 next?

[@GolfSidekick]

[@GolfSidekick]

Jmac lives in malaysia though so we cant see each other due to travel restriction

[@imthozz]

Hi bro , I like your style when you try to say in Thai word ( I saw you can speak a lot) I hope one day , me and my friend can join with you . Hahaaa

[@aaronh.917]

Just curious: hole 12, no penalty stroke for water? Especially when trying to break scoring barriers (90 is something I'm getting close to breaking regularly), I try to adhere to the penalty stroke rule while sometimes I allow one mulligan on the first tee shot only. What do you think of mulligans/gimme putts/penalty strokes (lost ball for instance) when breaking scoring barriers? Or when claiming a new lowest score that was achieved during a round where penalty strokes weren't taken and/or mulligans were used. I'm pretty new to the game so I wanted to hear your take on it. edit: wow bdog is smashing those 4irons

[@godsruins]

I noticed that too, you can see it splash and they cheer so either it bounced out of shallow water back onto the rough or they missed the penalty.

[@creamabdul-jabbar6722]

Is it possible to hit a draw with the ball below your feet or a fade when the ball is above? It feels unnatural to me when attempting and I have a bad contact almost every time. But sometimes it is called for it. I mean I can hit a punch shot but sometimes it’s not necessary if I can just hit the correct shape that would get me back where I want to go

[@jaksatva]

Bdogs swing has gone from ugly to absolutely photogenic! Great to see him back on the channel!

[@DarenLimGolf]

Wow BDog seriously has a great swing. Maybe even a 70 Breaker !

[@shonecornish]

Damn good coach Matt keep up the videos I need more I love the content and courses

[@adamolivetti9025]

Your videos help my course management and long game (tee shots and full irons) immensely. I will say, you should work hard on both your and BDog's short game around the greens, would make great content and I feel that is both of your largest place for improvement. But who am I, hardly a playa!

[@GolfSidekick]

No facilities

[@EdwoodCA]

[@jhj6305]

Love the dedication screen

[@acegamestv]

I think the biggest thing that will always hold me back from breaking 80 is distance. I simply do not hit the ball far at all, and like Bdog, I also have a horrible relationship with my driver. I think its the same issue you are describing. I just never feel confident hitting it, and its super sporadic. I am going to take it out of my bag, but I can not hit iron in its place. I'm going to try a round without even taking the Driver with me, and only hit 3 wood off any long hole and see what happens. But as it stands now, on a 400+ yard par 4, if I do not hit a perfect driver, I have no hope of a GIR.

[@GolfSidekick]

If you don’t have the distance, you should not be playing more than 2 par 4’s over 400 yards. You’re playing the wrong tees if the part fours are 400+. The distance is not holding you back. You have lessons at your disposal. You have shorter tees. Bdog was hitting every single iron 120 at one stage, couldnt hit a driver, didn’t have a back up iron off the tee. Now he is hitting single handicap shots. The biggest obstacle to it breaking 80, is you.

[@lincman3241]

Your videos helped me start shooting 80 and below (used to shoot 95) but recently have been struggling to keep my mind cool when I have a bad hole... for example in my first highschool tournament this year I was a 4 over thru 9 then had a quad and couldn't keep my mind straight the rest of the round and shot a 88 example of many rounds I've had the past three weeks . Any advice guys???

[@GolfSidekick]

That quad bogey is finished. Go play the next shot to hit it into a place to have another easy shot. Place less pressure on yourself. Golf is not perfect. Read EVERY SHOT MUST HAVE A PURPOSE and GOLF IS NOT A GAME OF PERFECT

[@lincman3241]

thanks

[@frankq5473]

now he knows how to turn the upper body! HUGE improvement!

[@junparinsupasri7098]

What's his cobra driver model and specs ?? Maybe if he wanted to sell I would look into it. Have been wanting to try using one for quite some time

[@Watchin4story]

Damn bdog improved so much

[@J05H]

BDogs swing is looking good now, all that Teetime golf! Waddaplaya

[@jannekoskinen2050]

Nice improvement! He would've been under 80 that round with better wedge game, short game and putting. So many lost shots around the greens and within 100 yards. I have broke 80 a lot of times with much worse ball striking because I have been always really good with short game and feel shots.

[@MrTendai81]

which course is this that you get a caddie?

[@PaulMakesPar]

Amazing, can’t get enough of people improving at life!

[@acegamestv]

I also am having a lot of issues with alignment. It feels like all the boxes near me are aiming me right of the green or fairway. Everyone says "just aim left" but whenever I do I just end up hitting a huge slice. I feel like its something in my head, and listening to you say that same thing makes me think even more. Anyone else dealt with this?

[@GolfSidekick]

Assignment sticks in a T shape or parallel lines. Do it

[@MrChrisFlynn]

What is the software you are using to map out his shots\Measure his shots on the video?

[@thomassmith2734]

I would like to know as well, I like how you can measure yardage.

[@thedadgolfer]

I thinks it’s called hard work and determination.

[@jessedunn9542]

What's up at 22:20 with the superimposed image?

[@thedadgolfer]

Who wore it best?

[@Coopster375]

At 23:03 it looks like he holds the driver closed to start with. Maybe it's a set up issue/grip issue that causes the hook?

[@GolfSidekick]

Could be but this driver has had plenty of time to come right. Now it's being unceremoniously dumped

[@Keepitgoinging]

Which coarse did they play?

[@briansonnenfelt7125]

I haven’t hit my driver this year. I started hitting 4 iron off the tee last November, and I have shaved more than10 strokes off my game. I don’t even bring it to the course any more.

[@haywoodisdaman]

Need to take a trip to the fitter, hopefully its worth it

[@BAD_GolfHawaii]

Great golf! It must be the shirt!!! 🤙🏾😉

[@gethooked3823]

Love your vids and wanted to know how you film your course vlogs? Do you just use a camera and tripod?

[@geemac7267]

Great to see Bdawg's improvement! Keep it up, playa. On the subject of alignment, do you think it might work to lay a club down on a parallel line to the target line, then put your feet on that line once you've picked up the club? Might get your grip wet but keep a towel in your pocket like the boomers do. If you play alone, this method could help.

[@GolfSidekick]

yeah but we worked on it on th range rather...wanted him to feel really open first one the course

[@WhaddupImJohn]

I bought one of those aiming sticks. I use it for every club on the range and constantly aim somewhere else and look at the target every shot. Your body will get used to how this feels after a while and BOOM! Better alignment

[@WhaddupImJohn]

Also no shame in doing it on the course unless you are playing for bragging rights with friends or in a tournament of course. We are all just trying to get better anyways

[@zeaferoz]

He would smash 300yrd straightout of his driver, sooner or letter. Way to go bro.

I'm breaking 90 , sometimes breaking 85 , and occasionally breaking 80. I play off 9.6 WHS currently. I am 74 yrs old. Looking at BDog , he hits the ball way further than me. 6 iron 176yards?? I don't even have a 6 iron in the bag. For 176 yards I would take my 7wood! So , although interesting , this video does not really "speak" to me. I am interested in how to break 80 when I hit my 7 wood 130-140 yards. I don't have a 4 wood. Why does he not use a driver off the tee? Maybe it puts him in trouble? I would be using the driver , or at the very least, my 5 Hybrid 25 degree. So I would be interested to know why he doesn't use driver , and whether there could be a video with a golfer like Me!

See a pro. I saw a pro for 1 hour today for the first time ($100) and I was able to swing from the inside by the end of the lesson. I knew I needed to swing more from the inside but I didn’t know how to do it no matter what I tried, or why I was unable to do it. Turned out I needed more hip turn, so I’ll start there

[@Bwage]

@@aaronh.917 funnily enough I had a eureka moment a few days ago and have been making good contact, I’ve gained a lot of distance, it’s completely changed my game! Definitely will still have some lessons though to get them going a bit straighter! Thanks man!
