I don’t understand how this guy isn’t more popular.
Racism
I reckon because he sweats sexiness. Insecure playas.
Well. I mean 222k subscribers is hardly unpopular !!!!😊
Raw sexual magnetism. Yt suppresses the vids because they are far too exciting!
Probably because he tells the truth and doesn't try to sell people snake oil and miracle swings tutorials. Most people don't like hearing the truth especially when it's about how bad they are at something.
from 104 to 83 in a 3 months of golf after not playing for 16 years, 'Golf Sidekick' and 'Not a Scratch Golfer' have helped enormously with getting back into the game. I was a 10 handicap in my 30's and feel like if I follow the advice here I can maybe get to single digits in my second golf life here in my 50's.
Same here👍. I stopped golfing for almost two decades and I’m almost fifty now. Shot an 83 with my father in law last week at Bodega Bay which is north of San Francisco. I really like Golf Sidekick and Not A Scratch Golfer…I highly recommend this video too…ruclips.net/video/iP0sBzIXRtc/видео.html
Happy golfing👍⛳️🍻
All about the right advice
104 to 83 is legit! Congrats playa!
The two horseman of better golf.
I've been stuck at 103 for 6 months after coming back after a break. Nothing is working.
20:44 This is why you are my golf guru. This is my self-talk when my golf buddies start all the "PGA Pros" jibber-jabber. I always remind them that if I could make half the shots the pros make, I'd start my qualifying journey...
Recovering from a broken hand and limited to a 7 iron for a while. Great video. Thanks.
You got this!
Great points.....basically, use whatever clubs that keep your shots in the fairway, and you have a great chance 👍
Exactly!
I have eliminated my 60* and I use my 7iron and bump and run. It has worked so much better for me. Get it on the green.
GIOTG
Matty when will the birds of paradise bucket hat be available again?
Also any discountskis like free shipping coming soon?
"Par is a social construct". I want that on a t-shirt. 😁
"You have to stand guard at the entrance of your mind" another zinger
Seriously. The Golf Baus needs merch pronto. Your idea should be the first one.
Broke 80 for the first time a couple weeks ago. Entire round asked myself “What would golf sideskick do?” “You don’t need to be a hero!” Talked myself through each shot like I was watching one of your videos. What a feeling, waddaplaya!!
Just ordered a head cover from you… will help me stay zen & hopefully get a few more sub 80 rounds under my belt.
He's too sexy to be popular
Congrats on the breakthrough.
Doing it once proves you can do it again, stay with the process, talking yourself through each shot really works. Positive mental imagery.
Go for the parskies!!!
Yeah. Bro just hit 4 over through 9 with nothing longer than a 175 yard club. Shows that getting to a 10 HCP is more about consistency and control than distance.
I haven't played golf in years. Took golf sidekicks advice and teed off on each hole using a hybrid. Attacked the course with my 175 club, my chipper and some wedges. Played a championship course in Turkey. Had 2 OOB. Those two OOB cost me sub 90. I shot a 91. Leave the driver and your egos at the house!
I honestly think this channel is one of the best on RUclips for golf. It is definitely one of ,if not my favorite. Keep up the great content good sir! I would love to come over there and learn from you one on one.
Glad you enjoy it!
Yes it’s all about playing and scoring better not about technique. It’s about thinking, linking shots three 150 yard shots is the same place as 230 + 150 + 80 How many not how
After a year around 98, finally followed all his advice. Kept driver in bag unless it was a wide open fairway. Focused practice on putting 3 footers. Heavy
in the same process here... "every shot must have purpose" is mindblowing... still waiting to return to the low 90 yet... (where I once was)
So went forward one tee and you still value your 83?
@@YoonPark-zu1ps What kind of a comment is that? Yes, the 83 is valuable. Even if it went off the very forward tees (I.e. the front tees), it is still valuable. Going from 98 to 83 is an INCREDIBLE improvement!
The forward tees exist for a reason. It is still a real golf course. And, above all, golf is supposed to be FUN!
@yoon… golf is about hitting the clubs you love to hit. It’s about strategy. Strategy is hitting from the tees that allow you to hit your best clubs most often. Have you not watched any of “Golf Sidekick’s” videos? 83 is respectable from any tee box.
Happy to report that I am breaking 90 now since breaking 100 last year from listening/watching the High Handicap Whisperer Playa-in-Chief. Recently got a 7-wood 20 deg loft and it has helped me with the 180 yards approach shots and long Par 3.
Great job! Love to hear positives like this
7 wood changed my game as well.. par 5s are now my jam.
Same here man
I love a good Jack Nicholson course😂
Matt trying to breathe life into the butterfly is the best thing I have seen on youTube in years!
Teaski will never for get it
The Rick Shields line was amazing
*Wrick Chills
I missed it
Brother, I have been watching your videos and learning to leave my ego in the cart. By focusing on keeping the ball in play, away from bunkers I broke 100 today for the first time! I shot a 93 today on a course that I shot a 111 just 42 days ago. I haven’t had any lessons or any reasons to reduce my score 18 strokes. I’m just playing smarter… ugly golf… hitting my 6iron well and that’s giving me good opportunities to chip and putt. Thank you my brother. Drinking a beer in the clubhouse for you right now. One love from South Carolina!
I split the course up today like a BOSS!
#1 Lithuanian golf RUclipsr!!!!
went to my last match
gave my buddy the scorecard i didnt want to think about it
played from the blues , said im having a stress free round since ive been so hard on myself to try and break 90 this season.
and finally broke 90 shot an 88 for the first time ever!
your tips really helped about being conservative in my approach
hit 3 wood mostly instead of driver and kept the ball in play. thx matty
‘I’m hitting a pitching wedge here not to be an a$%hole’ 😂😂😂
Recently found your channel and do not understand how you don’t have double the subs. Brilliant content and makes me laugh. I have improved my swing dramatically with lessons in the last 6 months, but my score has not come down that much (high 90s). Looking forward to putting your methods into practice and reporting back. Keep up the killer content
I laughed way too hard at that line.
Been channeling golf sidekick the last few months. Saw “the glimpse” a few weeks back. Today, left the scary sticks in the bag, left the driver in the car. Shot an even par round, 3 birdies. Was shaking afterwards. My best round in 40 years by a comfortable margin. Golf Sidekick and Not a Scratch a big part in today’s success. Thanks!
@harrybray4956 True. Golf Sidekick and Not a Scratch Golfer are 2 of the best golf channels on RUclips, period. For average Jo’s, both of these channels will help your game improve, with the game you have, without mention about golf swing and (or) mechanics. Top tier content!! 👊🏽👍🏽🔥
he's helped me so much especially with course management. I don't tell my mates about him, I'm selfish I want to have the advantage over them, LoL!!
Matty bro, you are THE MAN, yes i watch follow an mirror Exactly this format for the past 2yrs from your advice. My mates hit Driver, i hit 4ironHybrid and guess whos in the middle of thr fairway 90% of the time...Me. love yr videos from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
This video helped me so much in just the 1st 2 minutes.
I had been playing terrible, low 100s terrible.
Lucky to get 1 or 2 pars a round.
Last 2 rounds are 85-88.
I made 3 changes. Took out Driver, Took out the 60 and started playing to the back of the green.
Thank you Playa in Chief.
I am watching and absorbing intently. I am among your toughest challenges, but I am on the path - The Way of the Playa
Haven’t played more than quarterly for the past 10 years or so.
Played 7 rounds in the past 6 weeks. Chronologically, the scores have been:
123
115
113
111
121 - WTF?
109
109
What has improved with a few hours of dedicated practice:
Down to 3 or 4 3-Putts from 6 or 9 per round. Probably 3-4 hours of putting practice has accomplished this.
Down to 0 or 2 double chips from 5-6 per round. Just GIOTG. Focusing on each shot.
Playing to Texas as much as possible.
Par is a social construct! 6 is a good score on any hole, and 7 is survivable. I do change the card as you suggest.
What still needs work:
Full shots are sometimes still topped or thinned, even off the tee. Probably at least 5-7 of these wasted shots per round. I suspect ball position and trying to hit it too hard still. Got to set up correctly and swing easy. I did have a lesson last week that I think is helping.
Still going OB about thrice per round. Even with irons only! I’ve hit every club in the bag OB 😂
Still can and will get better at putting and chipping. More practice needed.
The best thing has been keeping a positive attitude and enjoying the day. I don’t get mad anymore. Goldfish memory. The only shot that matters is the next shot.
Just glad to be out there and getting better.
Playing this Sunday. Same course as 5 of the 7 rounds so far. Will report back.
Thank you for changing my game. I will break 100 one day, and probably soon. But no pressure!
Love that expression goldfish memory will have to remember that.
I am taking lessons got down to 16, 30+ years ago started again 2 years ago. Only broken 100 a couple of times but much better scores are coming. My eclectic card for the two clubs I play at are -2, +2. The two courses are chalk n cheese. Drives me mad that I have parred or better every hole one one course yet struggle to get into the 90’s.
Going to have to watch a lot of these videos ref course management and shot selection.
Your game sounds like mine I can hit a cracking drive then a terrible approach. Be 20 yards of the green in two then take 4 to get down. It’s a great game though
@@guyr7351 love it. We are getting there! This system works, because it’s simple and actionable. I have full trust in matt, and thereby, myself for following his advice.
"Par is a social construct" is my new favorite motto
It really is especially if you have never broken 100
Thanks again to Golf Sidekick, 2nd week in a row breaking my par as a high handicapper for a 9-hole course! I came in 5 under!
Fantastic! You’re a bass legend
Saw one of your videos and went from 100’s to 90, been 92 my best score last week. I keep telling myself don’t make hero shots 😂😂😂 I hope to break the 90’s this year 🤞🏽
One of the best, most simple and sensible golf videos I’ve seen. Thanks Matt! 👍
Man I love these…the way u break it down for the average golfer and show that if u play a little smarter u don’t have to bomb 300yard drives off in the woods…these are always my favorite to watch maybe cause it applies to my game the most…good job Playa
Applies to a lot. Of our games playa
My last round I was horrible. I hit almost every fairway in regulation with my drives averaging 250 yards. When I go to hit my second shot I started to chunk the ball so bad. It was embarrassing after driving the ball so well
I still watch the 3 part 18 hole video of breaking 90 with out hitting more than 150 when my game is feeling off and it always brings me back. Every time i go back to a full bag thinking I am going to take a scoring leap, i start playing poorly again. Switch back to the half set of evens, sand wedge, mini driver and putter and its back to the low 90s. This is the best golf advice on youtube.
Cant give much better advive on that play strategy. My hcp is 16.7 and have changed my game approach towards advise given by You and Jimmy Tropicana.
You two gyus are the best golf vlog coaches for the club players aiming their game under 90, or even 80.
Thank you 🙏.
Love your content Matt. Got me from never having broken 100 down to consistently mid nineties in one season of more focussed andabove all, enjoyable golf. Can't thank you enough..
Jack Nicholson courses? You must be JOKER! :-) GREAT videos from all aspects. #clapclapclapclap
Mid 90s to mid 70s after two seasons. Your breaking 80 series has helped me make better decisions and Bob Rotella's Putting Out Of Your Mind has given me confidence on the greens. You can always make a putt!
Need to work on pitching and chipping next!
Broke 80 for the first time last week ! Your Videos are helping so much !!
Excellent!
I love this channel. Truly my favorite golfer on RUclips.
I will be applying concepts from this video this weekend. I'll let you know if I break 90.
Here comes Matty boom boom: Lithuania's #1 Golf RUclipsr 🤣 I didn't think this everyday before watching this, but I will now.
Can you make a shirt which says “par is a social construct”
#Justice4Buttefly - He will be remembered for his sacrifice
I’ll never understand these “break 90 by never hitting your driver” videos- the reality is, if you’re not good enough to break 90 using driver, you have pretty much zero chance of breaking 90 without it! I break 90 sometimes, but not all the time- when I DO break 90, it’s due in large part to my driver, which is just about the best club in my bag. LEARN TO HIT DRIVER. No dumb shortcuts like this
Wrong
my man broke 90 and a butterfly together
Makes me want to get on a course and just punt my 7iron around…
“Can you hit a 100 yard shot?”
I thought you said no driver! 😅
Jack Nicholson golf courses....😀
The biggest truth is that it's all about the lie! #zenmoment
I haven't watched gold RUclips in ages golfing has halved because of a new job for me I haven't been great but shooting in the 30s forgot how inspiring it is to listen to matt before I go on the course I already feel ill shoot well after listening to him
I broke 90 this season for the first time. Have done it 4 times now in the last few weeks, 87, 86, 89. Just yesterday I had my best round with an 83, was +1 through 8 holes before a blowup hole on 9. Love the stress free golf you preach, it has lowered my scores like crazy and I'm able to stay cool after a triple to end my best 9 holes and come back with a par on 10. Thanks playa in chief.
What a day! Been wondering when we’d see you again
It’s been a while but I’m going to be releasing a lot of Scotland content
🎉
He’s back! Learning a lot from this video. Question, what gps app are you using on your watch? Thanks
Great vid, Matt! What kind of watch are you rockin? Garmin?
I was having a horrible day on the course yesterday before I decided to follow Matt's guidance and next thing I know is 3 8-iron shots and a 4-foot putt for par completely changed my day around and I ended up shooting 89. That was after straight doubles on 3, 4, 5! I was hitting my 8 because I hit is better than my 7-iron!
this is next level thinking well done
you will soon be in the low 80s with your adaptability
Golf is strange sometimes. There are times when you hit a great shot, but it winds up a less than stellar result. Other times you hit a terrible shot however the results are nearly perfect.
Played a dogleg left par 5. Tee shot is over water with an okay landing area then turn left. Off the tee I landed about 3 feet to the left of a creek that is O.B. right. Hit an okay 2nd and 3rd shot, however my 3rd shot leaked right and left me under some trees. Tried to play a low punch shot to clear a second water hazard, straight bladed. Well that ball sailed low and had enough spin to skip the pond 5 times and rolled up about 2 feet from the green. Got up and down for a bogey. I couldn't stop laughing after that pond skim shot.
That round I also pushed several shots right, after they sailed out of bounds they found a trees and pinballed back onto a playable surface...
Would love to play a round with you one day baus
For the last few years I've been around a low to mid 90s golfer. This year I've had more round in the 80s than I've ever had. I have been using some of the tips from this channel to help get more consistent. The chipping episode where Eric showed how to better do the 40 yard shot has been great. It took me a couple rounds (thats where I practice) to get better at it because I changed my normal way of doing that shot but it has worked out because it has actually helped me with some longer shots as well. I also am not worried about coming up a little short of the green because I feel much better about getting on the green. I actually went 5 rounds in a row breaking 80, then fell apart and had 3 rounds above 90.
I want to see you play in a tournament against the other RUclipsrs and just destroy them and make them tell people to follow you on your channel
Lol i doubt i will. Havent played competitively for a long time. Differential game when you need to beat someone. Just playing for the chill vibes bro. Playing for score and accolades kills my vibe now.
Damnnnnn Boi. Wadda clinic. I have fallen from the way of the Playa and totally stopped keeping guard at the entrance of my mind. Watching far too much technical crap on RUclips. My irons are Sheeit. My driver sucks. Time to get back to swinging my swing and adhering to the WOTP. Thanks BAUS for the wake up call.
Who’s Jack Nicholson 😂😂 great stuff as always 👍
You have improved my game so much. I have always struggled with my driver, so the course management that you demonstrate has made me a very competitive player. Everyone else seems stuck on the mechanics of the swing so much that course management doesn't even come up. Thank you for teaching how to play the game, not just how to hold a club and swing mechanics.
Keep it a secret playa. Let the mechanic merchants and strokes gained extremist jive turkeys wander Willy Nilly. Welcome to the bright side of the street
Matt I am in the "D" zone right now and it fucking sucks!
I haven't had the guts to leave all woods at home for a round yet but I know I should.
My tee game is all over the place and is hurting me so much.
Last iron in my bag is the 6 and I will give it a try as my 170-180 yards club!
Thanks for another much needed video!!!
Go out by yourself and bring a half set. Even if you just play nine. You'll see for yourself less clubs doesn't make higher scores.
I play practice rounds and real rounds. On practice rounds I hit driver as much as I can, then play smart shots after. On real rounds ( we are betting big bucks $1 a hole) I give the driver one chance if it hits fairway, I use it again otherwise I use my next highest club which is a 3 hybrid.
I've found multiple times no woods equal lower scores for me, but I have a iron swing, ie I hit down on ball so driver is my weakness.
@@tylercraft2193 Yeah I hear you, that's exactly what I will do. It's just tough because I just recently started to hit driver well for the first time ever and it showed me another "glimpse of my potential" level...
I was now attacking par 5's in 2 pretty easily and putted/chipped around the green for eagle on all 4 par 5's at my club in a round. It's my third year golfing and broke 90 twice this summer.
It's just hard to feel like you take a step back but I know It's normal...
I am still a baby golfer haha, thanks.
@@TheTurdEye if you're hitting driver well keep it in your bag. My problem is I am maybe 1 out of 4 good driver shots. (Or at least 1 out of 4 driver shots that are better than my 3 hybrid) so for me it's not worth hitting most of the time. That said I've had days where I hit almost every fairway with driver so yeah I give it a chance, but don't stress if it's not a good driver day. As boss Matt says, hit your highest confidence club before hitting the one that goes longest, you'll end up with better results!
My favorite birdie is three seven irons and one putt on a par 5.... But my only eagle is a driver and a one putt from off the green on a par 4. Basically play the shot that feels right on the day!
@@tylercraft2193No the driver is still hurting me honestly but since the 3 wood started to fail me as well I thought I should just carry on with the driver...
I think I will try the 7 wood option for a practice round first, then 6 iron.
I’d break 90 every time if I stopped hitting my drives into the trees, snap hooking my fairway wood and hybrids, fatting my irons, thinning my wedges, and missing 3-4 foot putts. Other than that, I’m awesome at golf. 😵💫
what a brilliant new perspective .... i still cant believe this was possible. hats off bro .
Ok got it, sacrifice butterflies for good golf. Seems simple enough.
:(
Love your humor and great videos !
#1 Lithuanian golfer dropping truth bombs instead of hitting bombs! This is the way of the playa!
Just to state the obvious, but one of the advantages of this method is that you're hitting the same few clubs all day and dial in a swing the works for them. Sort of like the way people go to the range and hit the same club over and over and wonder why they don't hit the ball as well on the course. The super-duper advantage is that as you get better with the longer clubs you already have a lot of confidence with the approach/scoring clubs.
I didn’t know the actor designed golf courses 😂
WHAT ACTOR?
That “big ass” tree earned yourself a subscriber. Speaking my language
"I've been breaking 100...90...80...70 since Rick Shiels was in diapers." LOLZ
I'm watching this again for the 3rd time. Good content Matty! 👌
"You have to stand guard at the entrance of your mind" Absolute pearl of wisdom there Sir 👍
Matty 💥💥
Maybe part of my problem is my lack of concentration, ADHD or also known as monkey mind 🐒
It happened again at the 30:00 minute mark…I know I should have been drilled in to every word you were saying….
But i drifted…what the heck was that waltzing across the fairway behind you? Which course are you playing and where please…
Thanks for this incredible video!!
Best to you from CA’s central coast!
Thanks! You are right, shoot without stress, course planning, be cautious with driver - only use if I have full confidence, prepare straight shot max. 150-170 yrds, honest with my distance, aim away from danger, dont think too much for GIR - as long as two putts is possible.
I made first time under 90 on my 5th round, first timer at the golf course. ❤
'Don' t try kill the golf ball'. 'Leave your ego in your car'. 'Dont be sucke into the the sucker pins'.
Most of us club players dont follow these advice. That will shown in score card. Haha.
Yes I am looking for that same mini driver Matt great lessons to be learnt in this video
my first game i scored 104, second game the next day 102... tthen next weekend i shot a 114 but forgot to eat lunch... then the next day after eating a good lunch and getting fit that morning in a golf sim for an hour before my round, i got an 87 (i still used the rental clubs at the course but at least practiced swinging right before my round)....
Congrats on avoiding the add blockers. Good info provided as we see the importance of using the brain as an additional club.
I have had some nice stress free rounds in the 78 range which as I have found out is more fun than stressfully rounds even if lower scores. Confidentiality is muy importante. You are enjoying an enviable lifestyle. Keep up the good work.
I’d also like to identify as birdie.
you can be anythng you wanna be in this world my eagle
Try my best but I just cannot break 100. My driver barely goes 170. I can't hit an iron over a hundred yards no matter what. I'm lucky if 40% of my shots are solid contact. My on course anxiety is killing me.
After watching a few of these, I was able to break 90 twice. Your videos are the best no nonsense videos on RUclips. My putting was my best game for a while but once I realised I don't need to hit perfect shots all the time. Just need to be around the right areas. Then boom, an 88 then an 86. 🎉
Thanks bhuru
Tendai 🇿🇼
Thanks Tendai. Keepin it real
I wonder if the caddies think you're crazy when you're out there blowing on dead butterflies. Either way your videos are awesome.
I have watched this video 100 times and have planned to use this advice. But then I get to the course and I don't wanna play irons or hybrids off every tee box cause I'm brain dead and end up shooting mid 90s every time
148 to 100 on the dot on 13 games played so far can’t wait to see where this new hobby takes me
Iv been trying to abide by your tips but i tend to sway away 😅 i played with a mate who hasn't touched a club in 5 years so he chose a 6i a pw and a sw and shot a 83😳 here's me just broken 100 😂😂
My colorblindness makes these videos look like he's on a green screen. Sick videos though
“Since Rick Shiels was in diapers”!?😂 I love this South African/Thai mf!
I thought dealing with geese on the golf course was scary, i couldnt imagine dealing with elephants lol.
I already play this way, but this reinforces and eases the pull i get from my playing partner's to try and smash driver or hybrid.
My best friend par who identifies as a birdie…. Great shot at America 😂😂😂. I’m American 😕
"I'm not hitting pitching wedge to be an asshole" 😂😂 Greatest quote of all time
Since Rick Shiels was in diapers
🤣🤣🤣
At least a logical thinking in all this nonsense teaching of golf. You cannot play for stress yourself. Enjoyyyyy
Wow. So simple to understand. Thank you!
Hey mate just got back from Thailand. Didn't get much course time due to the wet season but picked up a new set of clubs(secondhand). I am super excited by how they are feeling much better than my old Wilsons.
Your videos are an inspiration to me and many others I suspect. I have learnt so much from from your attitude to the game.
Sorry you didn’t get too much play time here. Glad you picked up some clubs. What did you end up buying?
I love Minnie Driver. Especially in Good Will Hunting. 😒
Never knew Jack Nicholson designed golf courses!!
Not many people do
the GOAT
So basically take the short game out of it, wedge on, and two put for bogey..?
Poor butterfly… the sacrifices you have to make for great golf… 😅
I always remind myself that par is a measure of an expert golfer and I am not an expert. Stress relief!
“Jack Nicholson Courses” 😂 I caught that.
