Finally convinced a buddy to embrace the principles of the playa yesterday and he broke 100 for the first time ever. Shot an ugly but efficient 98 and saved himself a handful of lost vice pros. He loved the idea of aggressively attacking a conservative target. I think we have ourselves a new convert. But Matty, after that firmly caressed 4 iron approach on 5 I could see you shaving that handicap down to a practically see through 0.8 once you settle into the style of play. Let 'em know who's the baus. And congrats on a bucket list trip.

A true playa gets satisfaction not from his score, but his ability to play the shots he wants. Attacking conservative targets and actually hitting them gains you the satisfaction of discipline. Knowing that you had a plan and that you stuck to it. When you throw your plan in the water, in goes your discipline with it and the satisfaction you gain from it. You become a junkie, chasing a hit from a dragon who usually puffs for true playas only.

Masta Matta, You put it on the line like a BAUSS, all the time. I am using your approach to lower my score and it is working. I am SO IMPRESSED with what you have developed, how you are single-handedly changing the game, and where you are headed - my Man. The Man. HANDICAP on the OLD Sod = 1.414 The new style of my golf, - not losing or looking for golf balls, my boring play is unnerving my partners. They do know WHAT I am doing, but they are getting madder and madder when they play. When I break 90 (soon) , or when they ask, I will tell them about you, Right now, I find everything you do fascinating Sir. Thanks for EVERYthing ... This series in Scotland is Excellent. Know matter what - Enjoy and savor the experience. You taught me too. This is the best fun I have had since covid.

I'll go with 1.3. I played 8 straight rounds in Scotland in June and my handi went from 14 to 10. And I struggled pretty good in the beginning. You'll figure it out and have some great rounds towards the end. The old course was epic but lots of blind shots. We did standby and got in line at 9PM. Pretty much drank beer all night but got a spot at 7:30 the next day. Shot a 91 but was pretty tired and my feet were killin' me. Of the 8 we played, Carnoustie was the most pure. Fairways are like carpet. Quivira in Cabo was pretty epic too.

Great to see you taking on the challenge Matt. I think your scores will go lower from here, not sure I've seen you have such a tough time off the tee box and yet you still scratched out a decent score. Some of the courses should have less severe rough and playing without the caddies will be better for your game. I'm going with a 2.8 handicap. Look forward to watching the golf and seeing you think your way around the courses. Good luck playa!

Links takes some getting use to. Either Two things will happen: 1)You’ll ignore ‘this doesn’t need driver’ from some people and use the driver or perhaps an easy low wood (maybe go to an easier driver set up just to keep in play). 2) You’ll get comfy with the long irons (maybe a utility goes in the bag instead of the Daly 1 iron) I’m guessing you’ll get a mixture of courses on the ‘tour’ with some very enjoyable old old courses. Handicap (this wasn’t a bad start but I’m guessing this score will be eliminated). End of the trip 1.8 (If a little Costa pre game and tea and scone mid round 0.1 😂)

You put it in your shoes, no extra thinking, and you play better. The device provides stability, and enhances and encourages proper foot biomechanics and position through the golf swing. Initial testing show increased distance, club/ball speed, spin on irons, and reduced dispersion (tighter to target). Would love to send you a pair to trial and share a video if you like them. Looking for some valuable partnerships as we come to market.
