ULTRA STRESS FREE GOLF Break 90 COURSE MANAGEMENT - Playa Strategy 101

[@jimhess4193]

Big thanks to the "playa-in-chief" I took golf back up recently and I have learned alot watching your videos. As a novice. I need to hear your strategy explained. I've gone from the 130s to breaking 100 almost every time. Next stop 90!

[@GolfSidekick]

Waddaman. Well done playa. 90 coming

[@timhodges4999]

Love that you posted this. Buddy and I just both broke 90 first time and we both helped each other select smart shots

[@GolfSidekick]

Ecellent playa, lots of breaking 90 and 80 stuff coming. Breaking 100 stuff seems to be easier now that JMac and Brian are moving in the teen handicap range

[@coreymcneill8044]

Shot a personal best of 81 yesterday (previously 95). These course management videos and the chipping videos have been a massive help! Thanks mate!

[@adamthomas8158]

Nice man. I broke 75 monday. Keep grinding man!

[@GolfSidekick]

Waddaman, there is nothing stopping a 79 my friend

[@williambyrd1845]

You beat your best ever round by 14 strokes??

[@GolfSidekick]

@@williambyrd1845 That;s the power of the way o the playa

[@CarlBroadbent]

Your stress free attitude is just what I need right now. I have been playing for 3 years and starting to not enjoy golf as my off the tee game is shocking. I'm learning from your positivity.

[@kolt4d559]

As a novice golfer these "stress free" videos provide great mental tactics to help with the strategy of the game. Truly some of the most helpful videos on youtube 'fore' golf.

[@GolfSidekick]

Thanks playa a Bun is the lowest form of wheat You cannot get a better pun than that. I win

[@johndeereboy820]

Recently broke 90 and all thanks to this simple style of play and the use of a Garmin approach. Thanks so much for what you do!

[@jamesharrito0504]

I’ve gone to the way of the playa usually shoot in the mid 80’s and from watching your videos tried to play stress free golf shot my best round ever 76 wadda playa thanks bruh

[@GolfSidekick]

Waddaman!!! Your life will never be the same!

[@jweatherf]

Great Video. I'm about the same level as B-Dog and also working on getting better through course management and selecting shots I'm comfortable with instead of trying for the longest shot every time. I've recently moved back to the second longest tees from the third longest and I'm now shooting the same scores or better than I did on the shorter tees. Ultra stress free golf Makes Golf Fun Again!

[@GolfSidekick]

Now you're talking playa!

[@mikev3279]

These videos have made golf fun again for me. I quit for about two years but then I started playing again a couple weeks ago and started watching your channel around the same time. Now I always want to go back for more, especially after this morning when I got my first birdie in a long time! Keep up with the awesome videos playa!

[@GolfSidekick]

Brilliant. That is the purpose of the channel. You guys need to passion and te fun. The frustration and non enjoyment is a thing of the past

[@josephdarling992]

Keep doing what you’re doing Matt, JDog, & BDog. I have been using the course management principles and shooting my best scores ever. Just shot an 88 today on one of my favorite courses, and this is my first sub 90 score on that course

[@vinnycarone3918]

Love the video! I'm at about this level now and I think these tips will be huge for me going forward. Last year I was 100+ consistently. Used your advice of working from the green backwards. Worked a lot on my putting using your ruler method and now, inside of 90 yards, I feel like a baus. I've cut my handicap almost in half, down to 20. Shot my first sub-90 last wednesday, then shot another sub-90 on Sunday.

[@GolfSidekick]

Brilliant. There is nothing stopping you from an 80, only yourself. Be a baus, be a man, smash it

[@timbledore]

Strong work by B-Dog, inspiring.

[@LETSRUNUNLV]

Playas, just broke 90 for the first time. Didn’t touch my driver, played safe, worked on my short game. The way of the Playa is the way to be a respectable smart golfer. Thanks Matt

[@GolfSidekick]

Beautiful. And when that driver is working, bring it back to the course little by litte, wide par 5's and holes with no water - stay in control o the decisions, your emotions, your commitment, and be a baus

[@LETSRUNUNLV]

Golf Sidekick thanks man.

[@ml9316]

I used the “get it on the green, okay” method this week and had so much more fun. Instead of beating myself up for missing GIR , I was feeling encouraged by having lots of par putts. Avoiding the temptations put forth by BDE and ego.

[@GolfSidekick]

You see, this is how it works. You need to EXPERIENCE it so you can adapt and critique it. Brilliant. Now you can start GETTING IT ON THE GREEN but CLOSER to the hole and start JAMMING

[@dereklakeland]

Great video Playa!...for someone who has hit a couple 87's, but mostly I shoot 92/93, this is a huge help to me. Can't wait to try it during my next outing. Keep up the good work B-Dog!

[@GolfSidekick]

Nice, you can do it man, 4-5 shots is easy first time out thinking more on the course Just difficult to think for 18 holes without wavering

[@fossman03]

I used to be consistently triple digits. After discovering the way of the playa, I am consistently breaking 100, and shot my personal best of 92! Thanks to the Playa in chief for showing me the way!

[@GolfSidekick]

Excellent my good boyfriend

[@brianrizza2045]

Great job. Shot 90 earlier with 3 triple bogeys but am happy with the over all score. Things I've been working on are starting to show on the course

[@GolfSidekick]

Waddaman! Slash those triples down to bogeys and you shave 6 shots off. Just about believing that it's a once off and the next holes are gonna be good

[@briancastillo2045]

I totally relate with his alignment/ aim issues. That situation is taking the most effort for this playa too!!

[@GolfSidekick]

Yes man! If you can use an alignment stick, you can start to condition your mind to agree with your legs and you will automatically start standing less cramped

[@codyzyn]

beautiful course, beautiful video, beautiful baus!

[@ben-vf]

I've never really thought about changing the club for different sand consistencies in greensides. I've always used my go to and tried to change angles etc. Thinking back to last week in firm sand I thinned it over the green. I knew what caused it and my brain left it at that. Now I have a possible solution. Thanks for choosing the wrong club Brian 🤜

[@GolfSidekick]

Different sand, different technique, i will do a firm sand tutorial this week as I have a round at a course with some really wet sand

[@ben-vf]

@@GolfSidekick that'd be great !

[@GolfSidekick]

@@ben-vf Haven't played that course yet but will be doing so next week or so

[@ben-vf]

I look forward to it , winter here, most bunkers are packed hard (No one is raking obviously). Gr8 for f/way bunkers but I'm struggling on the g/sides. Hitting pure suck backs 6-10 m past my spot 😐

[@nebulonv6015]

Jesus man. Someone get this guy steel shafted irons. I'm surprised that pro he went to see didn't recommend that! But man what an improvement! Keep it goin B-Dog!

[@teatimegolf]

The pro did recommend that. But money is time. And time is money and Bdog has to spend time to earn so he can get some kick ass new clubs

[@welcometoSL]

Curious why you say this. I have graphite irons and shoot similar to B-Dog. What benefit is there to steel?

[@nebulonv6015]

@@welcometoSL There's no benefit, per se, it's just that NORMALLY, steel shafted irons are stiffer. All I'm saying is his swing speed is such that he should be swinging stiffer shafts. I suppose, I should correct myself by saying "someone get this guy stiffer shafts." However there are such things now as stiff shaft graphite irons, but they're more of a rarity. Weaker shafts will promote a slice and he'll lose more balls right.

[@aderycroft5630]

Love your videos and advice on stress free golf -paying benefits for me since lockdown Keep the videos coming

[@GolfSidekick]

Nice playa, what benefits are you feeling?

[@gerdamarsh]

Great stuff. I learn so much from these as I am in same position as B-Dog

[@GolfSidekick]

Good - I hope you will learn even more form his next one!

[@oldmate5779]

Great vid Matt! Keen to see Pt.2 as my playing journey is similar to B-dog, except I’ve been lingering in the low-mid 90s for some time.

[@GolfSidekick]

Waddaman! You can do it playa. It's probably one or two small things

[@dannylad1600]

He does indeed. He just needs to work on it and put in the time. He has a bit of time coming up and will be jamming

[@rondogg04]

B-Dog's game off the tee is $ Game around the green is $. Under 90 is coming. So much improvement.

[@jas9239]

I dunno about the game off the tee being money..new driver though, just needs some practice..those big slices just kill distance and are dangerous if you can’t figure out how to fix them

[@GolfSidekick]

@@jas9239 Yeah he will sort it out. Brand new driver first shots of it's career in this round. Definitely getting better as he will find more time in the near future to really work on the game. I see a low 80 within the next 2 months

[@jfeisel]

great video showing how to improve your score with a little more control and some smarter choices...

[@GolfSidekick]

Yes it's true playa. There are tons of small shots to shave everywhere adding to a big imprvoement

[@Shakester71]

Most mid to high handicappers I know aren’t good around the green. A typical hole for them would be a decent driver and a second shot somewhere around the green. They chip it then two putt for bogey. Maybe even a double or triple if they’re in a green side bunker or hit a really poor drive. If you want to lower your score, then you have to learn how to scramble. Bogey golf is a score of 90 (par 72). If you can scramble 4 pars, then that’s an 86. I’m a firm believer that you work on your game from the green to the tee, while many work on tee to green. Most golf ranges have short game areas that are always empty. When I first started in golf, I’d go to a very popular range that was always full. So to past time, I just paid the $5 an hour to enter the short game area where I was always alone. Worked in bunker play, chips and short pitches. Then I’d get to the range and hit about 60 balls then spent a half hour on the putting green. What do most people do? Hit a bucket then go home. My first time ever even getting on an 18 hole course, I shot a 95 because I was able to scramble. I was confident around the greens and in bunkers. High handicappers fear bunkers. I know single digit handicappers that would putt it out of a bunker if they could. After my first year of golf, I was shooting in the mid 80’s and I wasn’t a good ball striker. We’re all gonna hit a bad drive or a bad approach a few times in a round. It’s the ability to save par or even bogey that will lower those scores.

[@GolfSidekick]

Good post playa!

[@jamietilling1]

Shot 86 a few days ago first time under 90 best before that was 96. Hit irons off of 16 tees and first time ever using same ball of the way round

[@GolfSidekick]

There we go man - not losing a ball and breaking a scoring barrier is SICK. Waddan achievement

[@beefiron]

Loved that par on 5. Great up and down man!

[@GolfSidekick]

Brilliant - I don't think that's a shot I could pull off

[@sonny2480]

Matt, would love to see a video dealing with... Full shots Side hill ball above feet. Side hill ball below feet. Ball sat up on fluffy rough shots (about 2cm above ground for example) Downhill lie (front foot lower than back foot) Uphill lie (reverse above) And chips from similar positions. These shots I have a lot of nervousness about. When it's sat up in the rough I tend to go straight under it 😂

[@sonny2480]

Appreciate some of these things are covered in here 😁

[@GolfSidekick]

Can do

[@sonny2480]

@@GolfSidekick cheers playa. Gripped down on a side slope today and the ball actually went left as I hit it pure... Unfortunately I was aiming straight as it usually just gets bladed 😂

[@MilesMartinGolf]

[@GolfSidekick]

Thanks playa, and next step is 82 for you

[@frostshock13]

Yo, Matt. Any chance you can do a video or give advice on how to get your mindset back on track after having like the worst round in years. Been consistent like 83 to 76 for like last 2 years, then had a big blow up and shot a 99 at local course. Got my mental messed up.

[@teatimegolf]

Yellow dot is we have been screened for the cold and flu with a highly accurate CHinese manufactured temperature gun and used hand sanitzier before scratching our cocks in the toilet. LOL I am a cynic Teaski is doing even better - implementing new stuff

[@stephenscheibel4604]

I see you always are shooting yardage. What is B using when not playing with you? GPS watch? Laser? Relying on caddie? I use a Shotscope V2 GPS watch and use back of the green distances on my approach. Always play to Center of green and don’t mess with shapes yet. Also are you ordering any new swag??

[@GolfSidekick]

Hey playa B Dawg uses the GPS which is often good for the middle of the green which is probably a better bet. I will actually do a video about this one day so we can compare! We don't have many caddies out here in Malaysia where B Dog is so he is using that GPS app with his Samsung wtch. I think it's a great tool. Most people should be hitting to back edge or middle of the green depending on where the hazards are

[@CB-nd9ki]

I see why he is slicing his driver. He is straightening his right leg on the back swing. I used to do this and it will slice every time. At the 1:50 mark you can see it
