Top 5 Tips for the 80 Yard Golf Shot

[@grantdavidson1926]

This is Fantastic! I can’t wait to screw it up entirely tomorrow on the Range

[@bermchasin]

remember think high. high scores, win game!

[@rodneyholiday]

I am 73 and have been teaching golf in Northern California for more than 45 years. I like your style of teaching and demonstrating the 80 yard shot. You have a direct and no nonsense approach which I really enjoy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@GolfSpott]

How far north?

[@LukeWooz]

When faced with the 80yd shot a lot of times I'll decide to play it safe and layup to something like 35yds. Sometimes I'll decide to skull it 160yds over the green. Rarely do I decide to hit on the green.

I feel like I know you. 😂😂😂😂😂 #ArmyGolf

[@hotjoose9415]

That’s funny but we all do it!

[@markvickers6641]

Lay up? Why not putt it :)

[@highsnburgers4862]

Thinking your way around the course.

[@mark5517zip]

I watched this vid , Top 5 Tips for the 80 Yard Golf Shot, about 6 months ago. I've been practicing it ever since, and it literally "turned my game around". I've found I have this shot about 6 or 7 times a round. I'm now confident with it. I am saving 4 or 5 shots a round!! Thanks MSG!!

[@johnaustin635]

This guy adds a great deal of enthusiasm and a bit of humour but he certainly knows his stuff , absolute pearls of golfing wisdom , thanks keep them coming.

[@davead6578]

Another good video. Thankfully MSG had an extra cup of coffee!

[@Geodaves310]

I know this video is old but I hope people watch this video I like to thank you @mrshortgame I watch your 100 yard 80 yards and 60 yards videos and I must say wow what a difference I always had issues from this distance in golf I’m a low 80s player but after watching your videos my last 4 rounds 77-78-78-79 thanks again MrSG👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 sent this video out to all my buddy’s

[@roberttaylor6577]

SG is the greatest you tube coach on the planet ....Period

[@johnt2904]

I've been working on this shot for YEARS. Watched this video yesterday and finally (finally!) nailed it. Thanks dude.

[@kennymiller9216]

Got to admit, dig this guys style of teaching.

[@kc8923]

Bit quirky and hyperactive but good clear advice.

[@df3635]

This is the best golf channel on youtube.

[@salsy11]

Really like your humor while simplifying what you have to do. You are a great teacher and enjoy your methods.

[@Punkologist]

the weight forward is the best tip i have seen for wedge shots on the internet. This video and another one said it. It pretty much fixed my wedge shots

[@EDTHEWATERGUY]

Weight forward actually works good for all iron shots.

[@7UpYours1234]

Your presentation method is getting into next level. I enjoy these videos and I learn a lot. Master class. Swing low...to go low.

[@markmatthews6839]

This is one of the most helpful golf videos I have ever watched. Perfect this simple swing- you can use it on every single club in your bag. It will not maximize distance, but if you master this shot, you can be hitting greens from 150-180 yards with confidence. Take a little more club, simple 60% controlled swing- beautiful. Thank you Matt!!!

[@MikefromLouisiana]

I needed this, the 80-100 shot has been killing me lately. Trying to take full swings and getting me into a lot of trouble ! I will work on this one! Thanks 🙏🏼

[@vikramchoudhary7035]

Best instructor, most useful instruction.

[@mbarringer3310]

Your my favorite instructor. I watch a lot of instructional golf videos on this channel and your the best. Thank you for doing them!

[@paulg1515]

Can’t believe there aren’t more subscribers on this channel. By far the best instructional stuff that is easy to apply and works. Everything I have ever tried from here actually works and works well. Love the content hands down best golf channel out there.

[@bille9995]

FANTASTIC lesson! You make learning fun. Your style makes me as a learner feel less anxiety regarding these kind of shots. Shots that trouble most average golfers like me. Bravo to your style of coaching! Bravo to your tips and knowledge! "THANK YOU!!!"

[@007art]

Love the music in the background - more like this, please!

[@rahdeeze1]

Arthur Bekerman tried your 80 yard tip at the range and took it to the course ... maaaaannnnn!!!! Thank thank you .. I now have more confidence in my short game

[@renrutjw]

Mr. Short Game, you have made a huge difference in my game, from driver to putter. The boyz are handing me cash more often than not at the end of the round. Thanks!

[@darrellpate1270]

My sentiments exactly... I don't I dropped like 10 strokes for real in my games from the driver video. I owe Mr Short game some dough now... Ur an amazing teacher and I've more from u without u seeing my swing then teachers that have seen me in person and I have paid... Thanks a bunch

[@carlmcdaniel5681]

Man what a great video. I almost ruined my swing by starting out with videos that teach you to strike down on the ball and forward shaft lean and all that crap. It really almost made me think I could never get better. Keep posting the simple videos!!

[@MrTkwbear]

This video has helped me more than ALL other videos I've watched! Thank you.

[@haroldsample6098]

Matt thank you for reviving my game with the pushing hands out on backswing no more fat iron shots I'm in love with golf again!

[@dennisdo7801]

You are the best instructor Mr. Shortgame 👍👍👍👍

[@Luis1958able]

Awesome! Mr. ShortGame, there hasn´t been one video that you are clear, precise and with a well rounded communication.

[@sheilabeauchemin1254]

you my friend are a fantastic teacher, you make golf a lot more pleasurable.

Great lesson, I really needed it. I was struggling a lot with that distance in my short game.

[@chriscarson2456]

I love your vids. People won’t get you unless they watch more, which I would highly recommend. Thanks for ALL your info, cause I watch many.

[@andrer6051]

Watching you from France, I love your lessons… simple and really efficient ! You’re the best… Thanks a lot 👍🙏

[@faadar]

Buddy I found your channel years ago when you instructed from the chicken coop ! I always need to come back to your videos from this epoch in time to get back my short game and it works for me .

[@rickhotchkin3047]

Solid information conveyed clearly and more important,quickly!

[@doncimino7414]

Like your aggressive approach to learning .... don’t take it that far is gold.... great job .......

[@vincealba6790]

Really connect with your teaching style and tenacity

[@patrickdodson9419]

Your Videos are the best golf instruction videos I ever seen. You literally break down the entire shot and/ or training session step 2 step, from top to bottom. Super legit man. Thank you for the help

[@kineticU]

Awesome tips to keep the discipline for the shot 🙏

[@chrisbradshaw3724]

Brilliant, thank-you one of the best I've seen and a big help !

[@ABraun770]

From the short grass, each tip is such a good reminder, especially #3 (keeping it shallow). For us that have played in soft & wet conditions, and have come down a bit too steep [with a mid/low bounce grind], we know that super-fun outcome.

[@bluejeans8001]

Thank you so much. Just exactly the video I needed right now. Short game tips 👍👍👍

[@tttaronno]

I have used this with longer shots as well. One of my fave golf videos. When your aim is off sync this is a good way to go.

[@MM-zb9kc]

Another great video. This could also apply to hitting in the wind. Club up, smoother stroke, keeps the spin down and keep the club low. Love your videos.

[@DaveLockhartsport]

Can you save some coffee for the rest of us??? Love your energy and the refreshing smart approach.

[@keurigmontreal]

I have watched many of your videos in the past 9 Months, from pitching ,to short games, or on how to hit your irons, im playing my best golf in 15 years, your videos and how you come across are a game changer!!!!you are the real deal thank you.

[@natemaine]

This was likely the most epic tip video I’ve ever seen. Personality is so authentic and real. Big fan already 🤙

[@nasreenlalani8221]

Such clear and simplified instructions… thank you, you are the best!

[@jrodgers211]

Needing this video after watching your driver tips videos, after playing a round where my confidence and performance with the driver was the best ive ever had, i realized i need alot of work on approach shots

[@nohandledude]

This is exactly the technique that I started to work on. You've provided great visuals and explanation.

[@al48701]

Used your comments today in Orlando FL. Shot an 83 which is about 6 strokes off my normal score. Love all of your videos. Thank you

[@davidc3572]

Love your videos. They're great for average/decent golfers like me. Plus, your videos remind me of the old Blue's Clues show that I watched with my daughter!

[@1cleandude]

Super video Matty boy so rich in proper technique!🙏🏻

[@76MUTiger]

Love you, Matt. Yes, there are no shortcuts to success. It takes what it takes.

[@grahamturner860]

Like most peeps I have watched a few golf instruction videos in my time but this guy is just the best, I love the way he breaks things down into building blocks and he is actually interesting..... you know when you you were at school there was always one teacher that inspired you, well I am truly inspired! Some peeps have it and this chap is just got his on style, what charming presenter...ten out of 10

[@DarrylMBell]

I really like your approach to the game and teaching. You're upbeat, encouraging and have a sense of humor. I love the advice in this video. HOWEVER, a challenge we all have is feel vs real. You make a thoughtful and deliberate effort to show the short length of swing necessary for this shot. You demonstrate where your hands should NOT be (high) compared to where they should be (about waist high) with more club. But if you look at your actual swing when you demonstrated the shot, you, like most of us, you went well beyond the practice swing. Maybe 3/4 for you, but it was easily a full swing for most players. I wish I could post a screenshot of the two different positions to show the difference. Just some constructive criticism. I'd love to see a follow up video where you challenge yourself to really hit that abbreviated swing. I'm positive you can do it. That in and of itself is a great lesson for most golfers. Cheers!

[@trunghoangd.6247]

Great teaching, very practical. I like your video a lot, thank you very much

[@edmcguinn7671]

This guy is an awesome coach I coach HS Track and Field,HS and College Rowing and HS Nordic Ski,he knows movement and has a great teaching style.

[@justpar2012]

Hi..thanks for the tips especially with taking the club behind you. I was taking the club almost straight up which really through off the ball flight direction. It worked for me, thanks again, Mike

[@phil06200]

Fantastic, saw the video yesterday, practice today, better of one shot by hole, 90% success, thanks a lot from France.

[@rodneyfox4498]

Just loved your 5 tips for the 80 yard shot, shall practice this excellent instruction and look forward to taking it to the course the next time I play. Thanks and Cheers, Rod.

[@helgehybyechristensen2088]

That's the exact distance I'm strugling with. Great video Matt!

[@phukit5456]

I like how this guy explains things and is really into it!

[@HiHiAmericanPie]

Great tips for reducing strokes! BTY, I have that exact same Mizuno stand bag with some forged JXP 919's in it. Live those clubs! I am also fortunate to have a very large yard with a 60-yard hitting area, so I will use your instructions and dial it back a bit. Great video, Sir!

[@jerrycoile338]

Good video again. I like to think of this shot as like chunking a pail of water to empty it. It’s a feel kind of thing for me. Thanks for the tip.

[@keithharris6442]

Practised this for the first time today, work to be done, but went very well. Instant solid feel when I got it right. I even went up to a 9 iron for 100 yards. I think this is the way to go, crazy trying to hit full wedges, too easy to lose control. Really like this one, many thanks

[@nathanfrisby3133]

Thank you for the great tips! On a level any golfer can relate too.

[@andrewkurkjian2941]

What a great lesson! I tried it yesterday and hit consistent great shots. What was hard for me is now easy.

[@tomgrant8025]

Another good video Matt ! Thanks for your time to do these videos. My game has improved because of your efforts !

[@aviatoraw]

Your big on a shallow approach with a low hands back swing on this and your other videos. Basically just rotate back. This really helps me, thanks!

[@chetlovesmer9549]

Matt, long time subscriber here. Been with you since the beginning. You've always put out great content and this is no exception. Keep up the great work, brother.

[@roytonai255]

Great tips. I will use them tomorrow.

[@mikeleguidazu1137]

This video helped me win a tournament yesterday... it is so important to tune your wedge shots, yet not a shot you would typically practice at the range... very helpful video! Thanks!

[@gbc7344]

Started watching after seeing you on Golfholics and have to say I’m really enjoying your instructional videos and your energy is a joy..keep it up..good job 👍⛳️🏌🏼‍♂️

[@chadibamangena1765]

Tried this today. Worked out well for me. I’ll keep practicing 🙏🏾

[@rsaldana2able]

Tip #1 is money. Tried it in a tournament and it helped me win gross and net. What it did for me was control my spin. Sometimes I spin the balls off the green. Thanks Matt.

[@brodygoalie]

Tremendous video . Really breaking down how to achieve the correct swing for this distance!

[@aaronbeltrandelrio4588]

Great tips sir! It made a difference this past weekend.

[@Luis1958able]

I appreciate all the improvements in my Golf game that are directly related with your teaching. My scores keep on getting lower. Thank you! you´re unique!

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

Thanks Mr. Short Game , I've been working on my game for well over 30 years and this is good stuff you are sending us , and us golfers need to remember that if we want to Improve , remember this , ( You Only GET Out Of This Game What You Put INTO It ) thanks again .

[@thebakfixr]

Just found your 'tips' videos and they are great! Looking forward to putting these tips to use Matt.

[@loiza59]

Great tips Matt. I used your tips yesterday at a challenging (6083, 70.4/133) golf course that I played for the first time. I was successful on at lease 80% of my approach shots that saved me a lot of strokes. Thank you so much for your excellent, down to earth, instruction!

[@larryd4352]

I use this shot a whole lot...as I have a bad left knee. Most of my iron shots are hit this way...it helps me make good contact with the ball without putting a lot of stress on my left side. I may use an 8 iron from 120 yards...but I hit it low, under the wind we always seem to deal with in central Texas...and accurate. From inside 100 yards, I use my Gap Wedge...or even my 9 iron if I am in the rough, which I call my "Baby 9 iron" shot. It's low, accurate, and over the years it's become one of my money making shots! Great advice...people...go practice it on the range...you'll save shots using this technique...and find yourself putting for birdies more often!!

[@robertortiz3438]

Great tips Matt thanks, I'm taking it to the range today!...Looking forward to the 80 yard out of the rough shots video.

[@johnle6451]

I birdied my first time out . Thanks Mr Short Game!

[@r0mbus47]

Watched this mid-week. Played the medal today and hit six of these 80yds approach shots during my round without practising it. Won the comp in difficult conditions. This used to be a shot I struggled with. Your a good coach and its appreciated.

[@chrisrumley4713]

Another great video. This distance is one I find difficult and have been standing open and cutting the ball up. This looks like a much more consistent technique.

[@jonathanmoua8543]

Thanks for sharing. This is where I struggle the most in my shots.

[@boyerstudios]

Great tips. Will be using this for sure.

[@wongeebullard1382]

Great lesson. Demonstrating the subtle nuisances that make the difference in consistency the way you do is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@slickswings]

Love these tips! Im always thinking that the shots inside 150 yards are precision shots. That means swinging easier for more control.

[@swaarbroek24]

I can’t believe how effective this was. Practiced it and just crushed it on the course using these tips.

[@davemcgonigal9660]

Hit a decent drive the other day...when I went to play my 80 yard shot I started to hear Matt's pumping music in my head.. absolutely hilarious. Hit a good wedge and escaped with a par! Thanks Matt :)

[@abduragmaanbaulackey6575]

Awesome video, can't wait to practice and commit to this 80m strategy. My playing buddies are going to be super envious when I stick it close every time.

[@MarcAdonaTube]

Thanks! Love your energy and enthusiasm! Awesome, spot on, tips as well! Cheers

[@Beejaroni]

Another solid video here Matt! I struggle with that distance all the time. Between this and the Hybrid video from last week, your batting .1000% my man!!! Keep up the awesome work!

[@faridokhovat-alavian5074]

Love this one as well. Mr. SG is the best. Thanks...

[@MattiLinna]

Great video 🙂👍 Thanks

[@roniealipio6913]

amazing tips Mr. ShortGame. thanks.

[@bobbarrett6882]

Just tested this on the range 20 in a row dead straight! Thank you!

[@jimwhite2341]

Excellent distillation of the 80 yard pitch

[@Blackice978]

Awesome vid, golf is all about short game ,thanks
