The 5 Worst Mistakes Golfers Make from 100 Yards

[@pdubs7069]

Love your common sense approach to instruction!! Thank you sir!!

[@williamgraebe3989]

Matt: You are the best. Great videos and you explain everything so well. I'm an old timer and I like to review your videos over and over again.

[@dzl8596]

Great video! I’m watching it in February after having surgery in the off season. 3 weeks till I’m fully recovered and I can start swinging my clubs again!!

[@jamessmith-cc2cj]

Thanks for lesson. I have improved my short game last time out.

[@lindsaynewell6319]

Great tips, especially #4. As a 10.5 hcp I try to always take enough club to get me somewhere between the hole (90% perfect strike) and the back of the green (100% perfect strike), especially if there are front bunkers or a false front to contend with. The one mistake you didn't include is lack of commitment to the shot. Too often, I'm still thinking about the 3 putt on the previous hole or "maybe I should I be hitting PW instead of GW because of the wind?" or "if I can make 3 more pars, I'll shoot my best round this year" when I'm standing over the ball. Total commitment and focus on this shot and only this shot is what I'm working on.

[@lance5101]

Great advice! Once I started clubbing up and went to a shorter swing I became a LOT more accurate. Had to the the ego go.

[@thegoodlightllc4093]

Love this channel. Outstanding teachings.

[@wiggybruce7938]

great video ...thanks for the tips can't wait too try them out on the course...i like the way you explain why to try these tips !

Really enjoy your videos. I have learned so much from them, thank you and can’t wait to learn from the next one.

[@gdflanary2451]

Your putting videos have really helped my game. Thank you. Now I need to watch your videos on the rest of it.

[@mannydossantos9603]

Great advice... thanks! My biggest mistakes? Apart from chunking juicy wedge shots, 3-putts is the next curse and keeping drives in play, i.e. on the fairway.

[@nickbaker2566]

Very useful - hopefully will save me a few shots!!!

[@PJGGolfer]

This is a very timely video for me. I have been trying different things from 100yards and in. Taking the extra club and a less powerful swing has been my fix. Good to see you mention this. Thanks for the video. Cheers!

Winter golf up here in the Pacific Northwest forces me to use my Gap Wedge from my Iron set when I'm 100y and in. Its a bit more forgiving in the wet climate.

[@gavindavis8520]

Thanks Matt for the helpful tips.

[@IEdjumacate]

Started using my pitching wedge from 80-50 yards out. Hitting greens way more consistently. Especially when I have a branch or something hanging over the line. This works!

[@russellhartas2607]

Good video keep up the good work,my problem is a straight push right with my irons, also getting bunker shots to come out high and land soft,mine barely clear the lip and don’t stop the run to the far side of the green.

[@t.k.morris]

Another awesome video. Thank you so much.

[@G2niverse]

The 8 and 9 iron pitch shot is highly underused. I know that for 100 yards I can do a 3/4 54 to bring it in high, 1/2 9i to bump and skip and about a 1/3 8i to bump and roll. Practice at the range and figure out your options depending on your situation. Is the front of the green open? Pin in the front? Over a bunker? All different club shots.

[@dominicdinino3247]

Great videos, very simple and informative for weekend golfers like me. Can you describe club selection by number instead of degrees or yardage. Thanks

[@stevegee1147]

Wow,spot on,I had 7 shots from 75m to 105m on Saturday 1st rd clubies,chunked most of them fat with big divot,also pulling them miles left,I’m sure it’s the unnecessary weight transfer,gotta start with weight on front foot and keep it there as u said,to hit driver in prime spots then doing that,with 5 three putts my score of 82 should of been 8 better at least,so yes I’ll be doing that next Saturday.thanks bruva..

[@dezinetech1000]

As usual best golf tips on KZbin!

[@rjaguilar9141]

Enjoy your videos and insights very much keep up the great work!

[@Alan_Edwards]

Tip #3 is spot on. I sort of figured that one out over time and it has helped a lot. Along with tip #5. Taking a big backswing on short shots just seems to increase your chance of error in my mind. But that means you need to practice those sort of shots too. Good things to do at the range is come up with some method of applying 80%, 60% and so on until you are comfortable with it. Good stuff.

[@jimmiehoward3370]

Great video as always you have helped my game a lot

[@pavelthedog6939]

I've learned over this summer that when I use a 9 iron w/ half a backswing ( 9 o'clock) and normal downswing gets me 100 yards ,give or take pending on roll , every time.... in fact , I achieved my only hole in 1( mon Aug 9th 6:45 pm ) on a 100 yard par three with 9 iron..

Great video. CONFESSION TIME---I've made all of these mistakes....all 5 of them. Oops. Now I have some great tips to work on. Thanks man!

[@collincaskey5930]

Thanks for pointers. My biggest issue is playing a chip/pitch shot from ~10-15 feet off the green, downhill lie, with minimal green to work with. I play at White Columns and seem to rein into this shot quite a bit. It’s especially difficult to know the right shot when sitting down in the Bermuda or on a tight lie under the trees where the grass hasn’t grown well.

[@kennethdias9988]

10 to 15 feet off green use putter especially if it’s a tight lie

[@Clumber44]

Your videos are the best.

[@mattcristino9804]

I'm hitting longer distance clubs to make up for my swing and its working to a tee. Can you perhaps do a video on the different wedge types and their best use? Thanks coach!

[@BatMan-xr8gg]

That's it mate, think you way around. 20 Years ago, 8 iron went 160 mts, now only 120, due to age and bad back. So from a 100 in, I can go from a SW to a 8I depending on what I want to do. But i always found the biggest issue for most golfers at that distance is commitment. Cheers

[@jimsaddler942]

Awesome. Just an awesome video!

[@tyeeggleston6159]

Great video...ive always heard to take less club and swing EASY not harder. Honestly i only have 3 things wrong with my game, Driving, Chipping, and Putting, other than that...lol. I would say that ONE (of many) problems is trying to get the right distance from ball to club with my stance.

[@earlblevins1284]

Loved your tips.

[@lkae4]

My chipping and putting were pretty good today but long irons and 80-120 shots were terrible when they're usually pretty good. It's like plugging leaks in a dam and other leaks spring up. What a crazy, beautiful game.

[@brianmurrieta6547]

I really appreciate the comment to hit the best spot on the green, not necessarily to the pin location. Longer putts are better than shorter chips. Great advice Matt.

[@matthewdubay1180]

Disagree. I would always want to be closer to the hole? 5 yard chip from fringe could be holed easier than 50 foot putt

[@crazyjoe5684]

[@kennethdias9988]

I would rather be 100 than 60 out. My 52 goes 100 and a smooth full swing for me is more consistent than knowing how much to take off

[@juanhunglow2220]

Agreed. a full 50 is my 100yd dead. Simply, know your wedge distances on full and half swings you swing confidently

[@ryanc9742]

[@davegbp]

very nice, can we see some wedge play out of the rough? thanks for these videos

[@johnherman3261]

Great tips Matt. I can hit my pitching wedge a hundred however I need to swing hard which usually creates a pull, very aggravating. I’m going to try a choked up nine iron. At a hundred yards you should be putting it on the green most of the time. Thanks buddy.

[@JD-xg8zi]

I subscribed hit the bell and I still three putted. Can I get a coupon for half off my next round ?

[@KaM-fc6nu]

Thanks Mr. S :) What is your advice when I happen to Shank only with SW sometimes?

[@BLU4579]

Thanks for that, much needed! When golfing on a budget, how should I approve purchasing clubs? Do I start with fitting once I purchase a used set? High tech is the aim, forgiveness is key, and enjoying the game is the goal!

[@juanhunglow2220]

Have a lesson with your pro and the track man. Know your wedge full and half swing distances. You then swing and commit to every shot. Doing this, and practising hard is what finally got me into single figures. More up and downs are much more fun👍

[@steveholtum6259]

Hi Mat, I'm a 13 h/c I've a good shoulder turn but pulling long irons, fairway woods and driver powerfully but 'straight' left some of the time and cant predict when ??????

[@johnherman3261]

Hey Steve, At times I do the same so I watch my club path to be square not swinging out to in but the opposite, I also cut my follow through so I’m finishing toward the target line. It helps me, commit to the shot. Hope that helps.

[@joetrigger4538]

Biggest struggle, hitting a lot of "fat shots" especially with wedges. Chips have now 95% become chip n rolls with 7 iron due to no consistency with wedge

[@floydianepic3259]

As Mr SG states. Narrow stance. Grip down on club, weight a little forward with no transfer of weight during back swing.

[@REALDEALGENX]

My issue is that I notice that with mid to long irons, I start getting a little too "weight shifty" at times. If I can remind myself to stay still and solid, then I'm golden. it happens sometimes, so that's a good thing. Most times, I hit flush

[@donhall-aquitania1025]

Low point of the swing in front of the ball. What’s your approach Matt?

[@larryps]

I use my pitching wedge, half swing, for an 80 yard shot. Works most of the time :-)

[@GeT_Greased]

Your the man

[@franksergiovanni1981]

Try "you're"

[@finnobrien7604]

which super stroke grip model are you using on your putter?

[@patrickwall8517]

Another mistake people often make not only from 100 yards but with longer shots as well is trying to help the club get the ball in the air. The best way to get the ball in the air is solid contact.

[@monte1408]

Do you have any impact drills for me to work on

[@BatMan-xr8gg]

You forgot one thing, Commitment to the shot. I see so many Golfers from a 100 in, fluff shots by decelerating on the down swing, trying to hit the club the right number and they are still unsure. I always change clubs from a 100 out depending on conditions. I can go from a SW to an 8I, and just use the shaft to control the distance. But I always commit to the shot. Otherwise i agree with every thing you have said.

[@torlil]

Got a big gap between my PW and 50*, I usally compress the 50 to muster up those extra 8y, but maybe I should practise on a 3/4 PW instead…

[@throughblindeyesmyphilippi2015]

3/4 swing with wedges I'm a big believer in that too. I never hit "down" that is a death move for sure! Sometimes I'll even take a tad more club and open the face just a touch to help activate the bounce and stop from digging which is real easy to do with a wedge especially the 60. I keep my weight pretty centered with all wedges. There really is no need to transfer weight as they are scoring clubs not distance clubs. U agree with all this good job MSG 👏 👍

[@lbutchj4877]

Nice tip. I blade a lot of shots inside 80 yards, not sure why?

“Subscribe or you’re doomed.” Novel approach 😊 Nice work sir, I’ve been guilty of all 5. Thanks for sharing.

[@lukef5370]

I'm a right handed 20 handicap golfer my mid range iron shot's always go left hooking or just way left of target. What could be causing this? My drives are pretty good and my 50 yards and in game isn't terrible either. My 2nd shot on long par 4s and 5s is what kills my score because I'll hit my ball in the trees, out of bounds or in the water if that's on the left side of the fairway. This obviously adds at least 1-3 strokes per hole to my score and it happens a lot. Help!

[@ernestclayton8550]

Arnold Palmer was giving tips on tv and he was asked " what a weekend player could do that would make the game easier and more enjoyable?" He answered " leave the wedge's in the bag and get comfortable with a little 9 iron! It's easier to get good contact and better results!" Cheer's

[@tweezythe2nd]

I don’t get any distance out of my wedges, It’s killing my game, any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong. I can hardly get my 52 degree 100 yards.

[@deviusfeilds]

Thats my 52 degree range too, I think our distance 'problem' is called being average (its not a problem). Increasing club head speed and spending $$$ on lessons e.g. learning how to de loft the club at impact - may help. For me, I'm happy being 100 yards on my 52. If I need to hitit further I just take a stronger club. My 7 iron still bites on the green.

[@kendob9642]

Nothing wrong with that number, I hit my 51 95 yards. Soft and accurate with wedges and short irons. 5 iron 180. Driver 275, the only club I swing fast with. Still break 80 and 💩 on most golfers!

[@JoeManausa]
