Great video Matty boom-boom. Last month I was invited to play with hickory golf clubs, first time I have tried these. Driver was about 13° of loft, a 3-iron, a 7-iron, a 9-iron and a SW. Played forward tees at 6300 yards, Par 72. It was stress free and fun golf. Zero lost balls because the ball was easier to control and never went over 200 yards. Each approach shot was set up for easiest up and downs, no shots taken with the wood off the ground, irons only. Results, 81 stress free and zero double bogeys and zero birdies. Easiest 9 over and most enjoyable I have ever played, I play off 3. Really has taught me that without the hero shots, golf is easy and more enjoyable Playa

good advice! My handicap is generally between 14 and 15. I drive just 200-210 (I'm 65). But I had a nice 85 today as I did what you preach (1) no lost balls and (2) just a single bunker (I got greedy and tried to hit a par 5 outside my confidentiality zone). Putted well (31 putts) and frankly didn't even hit the ball that well. But course management is so crucial (along with not getting mad at yourself).

Ty . You put emphasis on course management. I found you better than a week ago. Saturday I went out and hit 9 holes From my first tee shot to my last putt I emphasized course management (for the first time). The game suddenly became easier. It's like what I've been missing. I will never golf again without the mental approach you PRESCRIBED!. My misses became manageable. Discouragement then anger have been my Achilles heel.. Not this time. On average I hit 90 over 18. I was 3 over in 8 holes then I double bogeyed the 9th hole. I was elateted. Every shot I thought-processed and played safe to give me the approach distance for my "free throw". It worked wonders on my mental aspect of my game. Instructors work on mechanics. NOT YOU! A GAME CHANGER!!@

I started doing the toe down chipping whenever possible now. I used to only chip w my 60°. I shot 84 for the 3rd time this morning. I have yet to break this number but i played better than any other time today bc i was never in a bad position, i just didnt make any long par saving putts this time. Got myself a birdski too. I took out my 3wood for my 2nd shot on the par 5 to try and make it on in 2, then i heard the chief playa voice say "you are not jack nicholson", and i put it back in the bag and just hit a nice stress free 7wood to my layup 60° distance of 75 yds and put it within 3 feet for the easy bird.

Been off with injury for a few months, tried playing through before taking a break and my scores sky-rocketed, high 80's/90's. Watched this in the morning yesterday (Wednesday 24th) before a 09:00 tee time, first game back after injury. Played the 9/10, zero hero shots, lay-up/safe rather than pin seek, and walked off with a 78, including a double bogey on the last (which hurt) and 2x 3 putts. Easily left 3-4 out there today, but i'll tell you something Matty....most enjoyable round of golf i've played in many months.

I'm back for a 2nd watch. This is the perfect video for me. I have been stagnated around the same level for years now. 15ish handicap. Took 3 lessons with a pro since last season and things hadn't been improving much consistently. It was like suddenly things clicked for me and my ball striking and wedge game improved a good bit. In just the past week I dropped 2 strokes off my handicap by posting low scores. 82, a 41 in golf league and another 82. I have good swing speed around 110 with driver but very erratic any given day. One of the biggest things for me is recognizing that the driver isn't working on a day and gearing down. I or 2 bad shots and it needs to go away immediately. One day 3 Wood was the next stop that worked 260 down the middle is a fun place to play from. Another day might need to go down to 4 iron. Whatever you have to do. Give yourself a chance to be around the green in two. Trying to fix driver on course and spraying into the trees is demoralizing, especially when you are trying to shoot a score. Wedge game is crucial. I know you advocate staying out of the 40-80 yard range but I have been money with the wedges. Having that wedge game helps take pressure of when you do get in trouble and have to punch out. Knowing you you can atleast hit the green majority of time and save bogey. I've been sticking some inside 5 feet, so satisfying saving par like that. Drill those 5 ft and under putts as much as you can. That's what can keep a really good round going, or can salvage a day you don't have you best game tee to green and still keep the score respectable. Either way they are crucial. Thats the starting point 5 ft and under putts. Then practice lag putts to get them within 5 ft. Then practice short game shots. Then irons then driver.

Yeah around 80, you want to get those putts to 33-34 max but they are merely an indication of ball striking. Deeper analysis can see where things can be tightened a lot. But you can definitely start getting those putts down if you three putt a lot even though you have a few one putts

Similar story to me - got 86 with 8 pars, 1 birdie (!) but 5 doubles and 1 triple. I feel like the course management isn't too bad, but sometimes I just duff shots and it costs me a stroke and sometimes position. Hitting off sodden winter (NZ) fairways is so much harder than driving range mats. I kinda wish we had more grass driving ranges (or any!?)

Just arrived at 15 (from 17) mostly by improving swing. Oh but do I need Matty BB to remind me on course management. I scored my record round ever last week (like a 10.3 hcp Baus) and almost repeated it 2 days later. But didn't. One use case on that second round: At hole 9 I was tempted and tried something too risky, it was a pretty narrow hole with water all the way along the right. longish par 4. Hit a super 5 wood off the tee, making me think I could get a GIR with the only iron that can fade on me, 6 iron. And yes. Splash. Discipline vs Sensation. Argh. "if you hate boring, you hate scoring" I will tell myself 10 times before going to sleep each night till my next round 😀

I'm going to watch the video, but my thoughts are 1. avoid penalty shots period. Play away from water and OB. 2. bunkers are bad, as is deep grass, but not as bad as water and OB, avoid if possible. 3. Play to the fat part of the fairway and the fat part of the green, don't take chances just to get a couple of yards closer to the green 4. Position your approaches below the pin if the green has a lot of slope 5. Worry more about speed than direction on long putts, you rarely miss the hole by more than a yard left and right, but if you get the speed wrong you can be 10 feet, or more, long or short. 6. Practice short putts of 8 feet and under religiously. 7. Don't try to hit the ball as hard as you can unless you are absolutely certain that you know where it is going to go. Be realistic about what shots you can pull off, and which shots give you trouble, avoid those. 8. Your score is hurt more by your poor shots than it is helped by your great shots. Play a little safer and you will shoot a better score most days than if you take a lot of chances.

Matty boy! I wanna replace my driver and 3 wood in my bag to get consistent off the tee. What clubs do you suggest I hunt on Ebay? Does it matter if its a big brand or not?
@GolfSidekick
@GolfSidekick Ай бұрын
Too broad a question. What’s wrong with the current club? Did you get a lesson and a fitting? Do you know now your specs to find a good club on eBay? I don’t suggest hunting for any unless you know your game deeply. I would suggest lessons and a fitting when you hit the ball better. Much less wasted time and efforts and money

Howzit Matt, I'm a 16 handicapper and drive the ball fairly consistently at an average distance of 275 yards. I'm 23, do you reckon I should hit my driver? Or should I club down?
@GolfSidekick
@GolfSidekick Ай бұрын
Well first you need to understand if the driver is putting you in good or bad places. How many penalties are you taking per round? Where do the penalties come from? Are you allowing yourself 2nd shots that are unobstructed? 275 yards is great but not if it's in the scheisse. So you want to know if it's working for you. Consistent distance is not the key, the key is consistent positions. As a 16 handicapper I am gonna assume 36 putts average. Scoring average about 92 So you're taking 56 shots tee to green. I am assuming 16 handicapper, hitting 4 greens per round. Where are you all the shots tee to green? Where do the penalties come from, how many per round? Why are you not hitting greens in regulation with 275 off the tee? 14 missed greens - what's the reason? What's the up and down percentage? How many chips are finishing inside 6 feet? Are you short siding yourself? Are you behind trees and have tp punch out after your tee shot? Are you aiming for your shot shape into the greens? Are you picking the correct target for your shot shape? How many 3 putts? How many double chips? Which 5 distances are your most common approach distances? If it's penalties off the tee with the driver, then you should select driver when it is advantageous and work on playing away from hazards. Learn your driver shot shape and earn ot pick better targets with it. You can play away from hazards with the driver if you get the shot shape down pat. if the driver puts you behind trees or in deep stuff and you can't go for greens, then it's a problem club. Again, need to work on the shot shape and targets. If your approaches are not aimed to the right targets for your shot shape, then we can't hit greens. If you fire at pins without accouting for shot shape, you will short side yourself, leaving harder chips and bunker shots. If you don't know the distances you truly hit your clubs, you have trouble planning, you leave a lot short , plugged lies in bunkers short of the green. If you're 3 putting more than twice a round, you need to work on speed control. If you're missing inside 5 feet, you need to work on short putts. We can't diagnose a game based only on the driver.

@@2321brendan Depends where they happened playa If you put the ball to 45-50-60 feet on those holes in regulation, then it's your approach play (target line and shot shape) If you 3 putt inside 20 feet, it's certainly speed and read or one of the two, usually speed. If you missed 5 x inside 5 footers, then it could be an anomaly on the day of confidentiality You might make the next 10 in a row! Nice score, it shows you can go to 72
