This one was one of my favorites. It's nice to have a camera person so you don't have to set up-film- set up. More natural flow of ideas as your walking up to shots.
I can go from 85 to 95 so this was a great look at what shots to playski or ditchski in order to get more consistent. Officially now my favourite golf channel on the tube, top 🍌
I really enjoy these play by play course management videos. I am stuck at 92-96 and want to break 90 for the first time this summer. Hopefully, once it happens I can maintain sub 90 scoring.
I followed you course management tips last season for the first time, plotted each shot out backwards from the green before playing on google earth. Hit mostly 6 iron off the tee instead of driver. Played for the 100m approach. Result; 83, and the best round in years, on what is a very technical, tight course with small greens that have huge breaks. Easy life.
@@GolfSidekick it is kinda weird tho, hitting 6 iron on a 450m par 5, so you dont reach the water that´s on both sides of the fairway with only a 20m gap, then you dont reach the bunkers that come in on both sides, then hitting a 7 iron into the green and having an 8 footer for the birdie. Like golfing by numbers.
At 35:50ish: Matt -- "These shot's happen, especially to BDog." BDog -- "I collect them." 😂😂😂 I love y'all so much. I'll join in the chorus of those who enjoy this format. Incredible edutainment.
I really like Golf Sidekick videos. Take them out the day before and let them play. Then teach them course management based on what he sees them doing. Very well done. And witty as well. Cheers!
This is a great video guys. We always focus too much on par, when Bogey golf is bloody good golf. sneak a couple of birdies in your round and you're in the 80's. It's magnificent golf! Sun is out, laughing with friends, waddaday, waddalife. Great work B Dog.
A shout out to you playa! I broke 90 yesterday ( 85! ) by playing the percentages, often putting from the fairway instead of chipping and going with the safe shots. I hope to repeat this a few times - your videos have been super helpful in changing my mindset！
The way BDog played the 18th hole is how I play. I am currently working very hard on my short chipping shots. It seems when I practice on the driving range I have 70% success. But when I warm up just before I tee off on Saturday all the demons come back. I have taken this week off and have also listened to Rob Rotella's book on the short game and I have been following his advice on having a set routine and other insights that he shares.In my opinion golf is a metaphor for my life, meaning when I'm fearing difficult situations I let the fear take over. I know I'm a good golfer but this is something that I'm struggling with. Thanks for the video it shows that everyone has an issue with this. You always bring a 😃
when I wanted to break 90, I told myself I have 5 shots on every hole (Pars 3,4 and 5), and played accordingly. Pars came more often, and bogeys on par 3's (my course had 4) meant I was around the 84-86 score after a few rounds
So why is it that the actual best golf instructors are not making millions on the tours? It's crazy how good this guy is. I dont even understand why youtube has other golf channels when this is here.
Wow ... I need to remember also with chipping or longer putts to understanding where the miss would be best. On course it's getting there ... but ... this is something I don't think about just yet. Will take it along tomorrow on course. Awesome. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Less BDog, more Teaski!! Love your stuff, Matty Boom-Boom! Saving up to bring you to Vancouver for a few rounds and for you to bring me a lefty Bird Dog with you for me!! Salutations!
My thoughts on breaking 90 are very simple. You can have a bad shot on almost every hole and still make that bogie if your recovery shot is sensible. But also your tee shot must be sensible so that your bad shot cannot possibly go OB or get wet or lost in the jungle. That first hole says it all, tee shot that can't get wet. My only modification would of been to play away from that deep bunker. A place where high handicappers can run up a real big number trying to get out.
Playa you do... that's the Baus man's talent.. he wants us to be great.. hence, the glimpse, or, if you make 3 pars you can make 6. I guess you need to re watch most videos 10 times each again. Cheers
Love this sort of video, nowhere near enough is done to help people with course management. So f'ing painful watching 15+ h'cap pulling out driver on every tee and just causing them trouble. Good one man.
@@GolfSidekick for me this is one of your most insightful comments. If you take gimmies don't half ass them and miss. Creates a breeding ground for the erosion of confidence
How many times in previous videos has Matt mentioned that the 60 is a tough club for amateurs to hit? The standard GSK wisdom - Use the comfort club you're fantastic with.
we were messing with these today, i use a watch and have a scope (which i rarely use), partner had a hand held gps and another partner had a scope. I believe my garman and sureshot are pretty much identical, the other 2 guys were within 3m of me. Around my home course i pretty much only use the watch with the front/mid/back green distances always displayed (i've played it a million times), other courses i use the sureshot a lot more for carry / hazard measurements ... for me that is easier than changing the watch screen :)
BDog consistently aims his feet to the right of the target on pretty much every shot. This causes his club path coming from outside to in. The result is some shots will slice if the club face is open and some will go way left if his club face is closed. Fixing his alignment would help him tremendously.
Highly doubt our guy missed alignment and camera angle can play tricks on us with that to me it looks more like his tempo is way off and he's coming over the top, i think Matt's strategy is good get him to relax and tempo will get better
@@cyberviking8110 if camera is not placed directly down the line (behind golfer in line with their shoulder line) then there will be parallax and its no bueno for analyzing a swing
Some good information here. However, one point that was missed that would have helped the golfer a couple times is that when you're hitting a high lofted club like a 9-iron with the ball above your feet, the club face will aim left, so compensate by aiming a bit right. If ball is below your feet vica versa but not as much.
Just broke 90 for the first time last week with just a littttttle bit of cheating 😂. Confident that I'll be breaking it FR here in the next couple months. Focusing on getting the bogey versus " saving par" has been a huge revelation in my game. Dig these videos
high handicappers have a very hard time aligning their body to the target before commiting to a straight shot. there were so many shots where he hit it almost right where he was aiming his body. SO much easier if before you swing your feet are in line and then you square your knees/hips/shoulders and club path to be parallel to your feet.
@@roncheong4198 he had no distance control with wedges and neither do high handicaps to hit two 70 yard shots in a row. All of the 6 bunkers of sand are short and they are huge but going longer than 130 yards removes the sand. He just pulled the approach. These shots happen. 10/10 times he or high handicap hits PW or 9 and never lay up from 140 there. Third shot has 80% chance of being played from a bunker short. 8/10 times laying up results in triple or more
You're more than likely casting your hands at impact. I've been struggling with this as well and really working on keeping my hands forward at impact. Lots of videos online about different drills. It can take a while to correct if it's something you've been doing for a while.

@@thehairygolfer I played the Phuket/Khao lak stretch. Golf on the island was very pricey but places like Rajapraba Dam, Aquella and Katathong were very reasonable. Had to do some “creative” storytelling around resident status mind you to avoid farang rates…
This is an ode: oh golf, the sport that brings such delight. A game of skill, with clubs so bright, Out on the course, the greens so green, A peaceful stroll, where one can be serene.

Illegally subtracting strokes from your score is the quickest way to lower your handicap.
high handicappers have a very hard time aligning their body to the target before commiting to a straight shot. there were so many shots where he hit it almost right where he was aiming his body. SO much easier if before you swing your feet are in line and then you square your knees/hips/shoulders and club path to be parallel to your feet.
High handicappers find commiting to a shot difficult. Head worms
@@GolfSidekick YES that is huge to taking it low! The mental fortitude to do that actually is a lot.
BDOG go get it!
Gotta think BDog should have laid up on the last hole (since the green is surrounded by sand) for an easy chip up on the green. Nice round.
Layup there has 80% chance of landing in the sand. Most sand is short. Better to hit back edge

I think the real key to breaking 90 is to think of every hole as a bogey hole. Avoid double and triple bogeys. The odd par and birdie will come.
