This is the ultimate way to break 80. There is no pressure on yourself to make those elusive 11 pars and 7 bogeys. Just a way to set small achievable goals during a round, focusing on achieving the very basics of golf: set up an approach, hit the heart of the green or miss it where you can get up and down easily and then make a mess of a few holes.
When we go to the course and expect or desire par after par, we soon get derailed when a double bogey comes along. With my system illustrated here, I show you how to break 80 hitting just 6 greens in regulation, getting up and down 6 times and then screwing up the other 6 holes. It's the golf sidekick 666 system, players!
Focus on the basics: tee shot to a place where you can hit a comfortable shot into the green. If you screw it up, just get to the next position to get onto the green. In other words just good golf course management.
When you miss the greens, make sure you’re aiming at a place that would be a good miss. Allow yourself the easiest up and down possible. It goes without saying, as with all golf, PRACTICE your damn short game. Watch these videos on chipping, bunkers and putting:
Chipping • How to Chip the Golf B...
Bunkers • How to Get Out of Bunk...
Putting • How To Putt on Bermuda...
Commit to every shot 100% - not 95%, 100% This is vital and the only reason you mess up shots is because you’re not committed. And why are we not committed? Because we hit shots we aren’t confident in. And why do we do this? Because we don’t KNOW OURSELVES! We must play shots we know in any form of golf and this 666 system encourages that and by pairing good golf course management with shots you know and trust, your scores will plummet.
When thinking about how to break 80 in golf, do a golf audit of your game. What are you good at? What shots can you reliably hit? What shots are you awful at? Keep the good, reject the bad. Play with what you have and only hit that shots players.
I don’t even want to hear any whining about discrepancies in distance between you and me. Didi doesn’t hit it as far as me and he breaks 80 on the regular because his course management is so spot on along with knowing his distances to the yard. You should be playing off the right tees for your length and you must COMMIT COMMIT COMMIT to what you know and can do!
Go forth, conquer and have fun, playas!!

Don't worry, an 80 somersetting is coming. It was a blow to my system. It made me decide to start practicing. That was 3 weeks ago still haven't gone to the range LOL. But I swear...tomorrow!!!
I've been watching you since 2 years ago when I was in 8th grade, my best was 105. Now I'm in 10th grade and golf season is starting next week, and I just played my best round today at 73 (+3). These videos have transformed my game. Hoping to get into the 60s in the coming months!
Beast mode! Engaged! Waddaplaya!!!!
@@GolfSidekick Thanks, my mindset has changed so much since watching, I've been turning into a true playa.
I have found the easy way to break 80 is to play 9 holes :)
How??
Renaissance Golf Restoration 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
@@ZaneGrayMusicMaster1 mine is 151 in 18 holes. My very 1st time playing. My best is 112.
What an original joke that I’ve never heard before
I was shooting 90-105 very inconsistently and had been like this for a almost 5 years since I started. I started the way of the playa during a tournament a month ago where I needed 88 average in three days to win I did 89 90 and 93. Didn't win but finally understood the way of the playa. Since the tournament I haven't shot above 90. Yesterday I had a game with heavy bets with people I play with every week. The best of them normally scores 75-80 and gives me a 15 stroke advantage. I watched this video looking to break 80 (previous record 87). I did 79 yesterday. I thank you not only for the golf advice but for all the life advice and general coolness that you teach us.
“You’ll make birdies. As we all do.” I beg to differ my friend😂
Lol true. But this vid is for those trying to break 80, not 100 😂
After two months into golf I just got my first birdie 😂 card after the first three holes read 10,2,10
Best educational golf series on RUclips. Keep these coming!
Hi Matt, I watched your video last night and followed your advice. Went out this morning and hit 9 greens in regulation and had 6 up and downs. With one triple bogey I managed to hit 78. Appreciated the difference in my shot making when I concentrated on the process and not the outcome. I tend to fade the ball and was able to play to that strength rather than trying to do things I wasn't comfortable with. Played a match with friends I play regularly with at the same time and won that as well. The best part was regardless of where my tee shot ended up, the focus on getting my next shot in the best place to get it up and down or hitting the green was so much easier then trying to par the hole or get a birdie. Keep up the good work.
Hey there Boyfriend! I finally broke 80 with a 76 yesterday - all thanks to the 666 sub 80 system. Thanks Playa!
As a guy who breaks 80, I like what you've got here. You absolutely nailed it with putting the focus on the process, not the result. That is the real key to great golf. And patience. And perspective. And decent hands don't hurt, either. My "rules" for myself are simple. Drive the ball in play, use a wedge no more than once on a hole, no more than 2 putts on a green (maybe once), and make everything inside of 6 feet. If I do that, it's a nice round. The number will take care of itself. But to begin to play any of those strokes with consistency, you must remember to keep your focus on the process. As you touched on with your confidence level on a particular par 3 in the video. That's a golf mind in its most ideal state. Confident, and focused on the process. Keys to success. Love this video for those trying to break through.
Thank you for that insightful and helpful comment sir. Love it
@@GolfSidekick Did I mention the word "process"? Haha. But seriously, thank you for this video. You see a lot on youtube. Some good, some not so good. This was a refreshing watch, and I'm certain it can really help A LOT of people. For every 4 handicap out there, there's dozens of 10s and 12s with the same talent, or even greater talent. The difference is what's going on, or not going on, between the ears. Great work, keep it up!
"Drive it in the middle, only hit one wedge onto the green, sink everything within six feet" - Right, that's what everyone's trying to do...
@@rambler1277 Yes, I get your point. It's not that simple. But that's more of a measure I'll do after the round as to where I need to improve. I'm not thinking about that while I'm playing. It really is about the focus required for each shot, and what you are actually trying to do over the ball. I'm not trying to hit a fairway, I'm going through the process it takes to make a swing. I'm not trying to hole a 5 footer, I'm doing my best to make a solid stroke. It's about removing yourself from the result and focusing on the work that's in front of you.
You say focus on process not outcome and then you specify two outcomes 6 x up and downs and 6 x GIR!!! Pressure!!! If you wish to improve by process then get a more consistent address routine, a more consistent strike feel and stay positive and focussed through all 18 holes!
Hey boyfriends! I have taken this system to heart during the quarantine and have shot a 78 two weeks in a row!
Great job, congratulations.
Not sure I've ever posted on one of your videos or not but I've watched many because I was on a quest this year to get into the 80's myself. I shot a 79 two years ago and the agony of not reaching that rarified air again has been bugging me every since. I watched all of your videos about how to break 80, how to break 75 missing most of the greens etc. On a recent trip to Calgary I shot an 80 and 81 and and 82, any of which could have been a 79 or 78 with just a couple less mistakes. Finally, yesterday, it all came together and I shot a 77 at a course over 6000 yards. Your videos and emphasis on simplifying the approach to shooting lower and on focusing on the process is what helped me over the edge. I waivered a bit mid round (I was 2 under after 6!) but instead of getting down on myself and filling my head with negative thoughts I simply focused on the next shot and the next shot etc. I didn't strike the ball as well as I did in Calgary either and it rained like heck the day before and I got no roll on the fairways but even when I was 200 away from the green instead of my intended 140 I simply focused on executing the shot and staying out of trouble. I was only in one trap all day because I played away from trouble and to the safe part of the green.
Just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work!!!
Johnny Penso
Sir you have earned the pinned post award. What a story! Congratulations and no word of a lie, that brought a tear to my eye. Awesome, player!
Johnny Penso i
Way to go Johnny!!!! I was a 90's and have just now started into the 80's working this system. My best was 86 but the funny thing was I had my Father keep the card and all I did was play the most confident shot at the time. Of course there were some 3 putts and penalties but it was a huge confidence boost seeing the card at the end. Keep up those 70's I'm coming for ya!!!!! Thanx to Golf Sidekick for the practical usable advice.
Johnny Penso WHADAPLAYAA!!!!!!!!
Hey Matt, your suggestions on trying to achieve the triple 6 really helped out today! I almost achieved it today, except when the wife called and needed me back home!!! arrrrggh Will try again soon. The saves were the hardest, and solid putting is a must!! Will get a long ruler to practice soon. Your videos are fun to watch.
Matt, in the words of Didi, " Play the club what you know " and " Give it a wallop " has helped me alot :)
Best vids all of youtube. Used your stress free style the other day and it worked. Had such a great time getting around the course with a fresh and more fun outlook. Thanks!
I was dead for 10 minutes when he pushed the caddies out of the way 🤣🤣🤣
Arrogant ass putting his hands on the caddies to get out of the way!
Kenny Evans read his comment dumb fuck
@@kennyevans2190 your name should be Karen....
FINALLY BROKE 80 !!! (13 handicaper)
i shot 76 .. thanks to all your videos ..
I only used this three things to do it:
-plan every hole
-leave your favourite distance to attack flag
- do this drill to hole all your putts:
Put 8 tees from 3 feet around a hole , and shoot 100 putts , until you make mor than 90 don't stop doing it (did it in a week)
Whenever you a have a 6 feet , 8 feet , 4 feet , etc , make the same 3 feet swing a little harder
Relax and have fun
Hope you break 80 too!
Waddaplayuh!
Plan every hole - THIS IS KEY!
Favorite distance to hole - byproduct of great planning - WELL DONE!
Putting drills!!!
Sir, you may have achieved enlightenment! How's your chipping?
@@GolfSidekick bad bad bad, needs practice, any drill?
Great video. I’m not nearly sniffing 80, but there’s good advice for higher hcp players in this video, too.
Also, as a professional AV tech with good video editing knowledge, the technical side of your work is flawless and creative. Keep doing what you’re doing and thank you for your time. My favorite golf channel right now!
Thanks sir. Wish I was an Adobe fiend but my computer has no processing power. My setup is rudimentary at best. Nice to see it isnt as bad as I imagined it!
Your videos about course management and how to think fo the game helped me break 80 today for the first time! Thanks for the content and leading to more fun golf
Stumbled upon this video while browsing around RUclips. I’ll shoot in the 70’s a few times a year however I tried this for the first time during my round today and shot 79. 👍🏼
I respect your game, and I really am trying to emulate it. I’ve only been playing serious for a little over two years, and your videos have truly helped me get to my all time low of 81. Your videos are the next best thing to playing with your group. It is inspiring to see you get out of jams, and Didi hit his crazy swing and put guys away lol. Again, thanks for all the time you put into the editing and info you are constantly sharing! Whadddaplaya!!! You guys got me saying that all the time now lol
Whaddaaplaaayaa lol Im saying this a dozen times a round now easy
Very interesting thought process through the round, I just shot an 82 yesterday and the entire round I was counting how much over par I was... I will use this mental strategy my next time out! Thanks PLLAAAYYYAAA, keep these videos coming they are getting better and better
83 today. Best round this year. Did my best with the 6-6-6. Three doubles hurt but I was more focused. Thanks so much. Your tips on chipping and putting helped a lot.
1. Your videos are pretty much the best on RUclips. 2. Cool AF accent. 3. The brain is incapable of flatulence. It is, however capable of expressive language. Use your powers of expression Matt!4. I have now broken 80 on 4 occasions. All since 30 July, 2018. In accordance with Matt's advice, I never tally up my score after the front nine. In fact, I never tally it at all until the round is over. Each time I broke 80, I had one double bogey, a bunch of bogies, a lesser number of pars, and a couple of birdies. Seventy-nine isn't a very pretty round! Remember this lesson, all you folks aspiring to break 80 for the first time. Don't rip up your scorecard and become disheartened after you make a double bogey! You may very well catch fire and shoot two under on the last five holes.

Have watched your video last week and went to my golf club on sunday. Believe it or not, I played my first 78 round ever. Never before I've played a sub 80 round. And when I've took a look on my score card after the round I realized I played exactly what you demand: 6 GIR, 6 up and downs, 6 birthday holes. It's magic. And the whole time I've had only one thought in my mind: just play what you can play. No trick shots, no risk, no ball shaping. And the result was amazing. Thanks very much. Hope I can keep the spirit and carry it on to my next rounds.
I love your comment: "No trick shots, no risk, no ball shaping" - I hope more playas will take that advice and realize you don't need to do anything extra, just what you are capable of and play to your strengths and you will break scoring barriers you never knew you could!
Well done on the magic and now all you need to do is keep focusing on what you can do and focusing on the next shot you're about to hit and forget the score. Congratulations on graduating from the class of 78! Another happy viewer is a great thjing to wake up to in Thailand!
I'm playing this Saturday and will employ this strategy. Great video
Just New to your vids and love them. Brings a sense of ease to my game and my approach to the game. Awesome mate, keep it up
as always great video! Best golfchannel on yt
Thanks for making golf look so simple, I will definitely try this method next time I play. Brilliant video !!
Excellent thanks playa
Hi Matt, I generally don't comment on anything online but I felt the need to say thanks for your videos as (like a few other people on here) one of my big aims for the year was breaking 80 and I finally managed it this passed weekend by shooting a 78 (par 70). The vids you've made on course management and chipping have been a huge help but the biggest was definitely this video. All I kept saying to myself all the way round was 'hit greens, get up & down, hit greens, get up & down'. I was +7 after 6 holes but because I wasn't counting my score like I have done in the past I didn't realise and went -2 through the next 8 holes making birdies on a short par 4 and getting up and down on a par 5. Keep up the great work, it's brilliant watching content from an amateur rather than a pro as it's much more relatable. Can't wait for your next video!

Waddaplayuh!!!
Well done my good man. I also played a par 70 for my first sub 80 round and also did it with a 78.
Feels great right???
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and I am happy to see another playa bashing down another wall on the way to magnificence.
I think with the future videos, we are going to be shattering even more score barriers for all you playas out there.
That is the gap I saw in the online sphere. No amateurs out there showing amateurs how to play. It is destroying peoples games watching pros.
I want to give everyone permission to be imperfect and embrace the blemishes.
Thank you again for going to the trouble of commenting and keep on dropping that score by identifying your weak points and improving on them!
Hey Matt I’ve always loved your videos and I just broke 80 for the first time with a 34 44 78 I have your methods to thank for the success. I think a lot of your tips and focus on the mental aspect of golf are crucial to success for all golfers.
Great work playa. You did the hard work.
Thx for another way to think about the game ... and as usual I feel pretty much entertained by the video ... thx again
This is a steady go to favorite! This is what I need, laid out in a way that also makes me feel able to do it. Solid stuff Chief 🙌🏼
This will be my mind set on the next round I play. Thanks.
love the video concept and the knowledgable commentary - i have long been a proponent of playing off the tees that make the game fun - i'm 53 and love playing 6200 - 6400 - i've watched all of your videos and want to let you know that i've taken it a step further - BREAKING 70......once in a while! - Played one of our countries finest courses - Tobiano (Kamloops BC - #24 in Canada), shot a solid 74 using a hybrid of 9 GIR - 4 Up+Down - 5 Birthdays, and took it up a notch at Eaglepoint Golf Resort (Kamloops bc - 6375 - shot 69) - came in with 14 GIR - 4 up=downs, while the each hole the whole round felt like a birthday. Keep up the good work and get in touch if ever in Vancouver
THank you playa for this insightful comment. Friends helping friends! I love it.
Ripper vid yet again Matt. After shooting my best of 88 not long ago, I lost my way because I stopped using my process which was simple. "doesn't matter how far it goes, just get it towards the hole straight". Which lends itself to your 'find a club you hit well and use it' and the splitting the shot into two shorter ones instead of going for glory.
Golf always wins, we just have to learn how to manipulate it when we can.
agree 100% with this
I am blown away at how good that video. I put so much pressure on my self to perform well on every hole. It never happens that way. I see my ridiculous behavior more apparently. Thanks for the bunnies
Broke 90 after 9 weeks of playing golf! Your videos helped dearly!
Has anyone broke 80 in the first 6 month??
very few
@@GolfSidekick challenge accepted playa! I’ll keep my channel up to date
Thanks for the content! I tried a variation of this system yesterday and it worked great. I regularly track greens, putts, and fairways. I'm modifying my targets to 8-greens 8-fairways and 4 up and downs. Yesterday I played 9 using the methodology and I hit 5 fairways, 6 greens but only had one up & down. I'm a 6 handicap so breaking 80 isn't super rare but it's not as common as I'd like either, especially in competition. I honestly think this system can help me. I appreciate it. It also showed a GLARING need for me to work on up & downs. Just tracking the data could show me that as well but there's definitely a difference in having a target number of up & downs that creates a different mindset.
I've been using this system and some other GSK strategies, they work. Golf isn't as hard as we make it sometimes. We can be so stubborn, staying with methodologies that fail us.
Good game. I’m gonna try this out in a couple days when I get a chance to hit up the course. Always appreciate your content. 🙏
Proof that as long as your chipping and putting is good enough, you can shoot really low scores with an awful swing.
ive watched this probably 9x your material is the best on line!
Wow you’ve definitely come a long way since your first video
We have all come a long way together. Inspired by all you players who take what I show you onboard snd improve your scores. Insipriational and the reason I try to improve each video!
I always go back to this video when im struggling. Great strategie!
Stepping you editing game up recently huh? Nice vids brotha
Parred every hole on the front 9 today using a lot of what you said in this video. Driver was all over, but the approach was completely different from normal. Fat of the green and allowing for the easy chip made for easy 2 pitts and 5 up and downs. Thanks bud. I’ll carry this forever!
Matt. Thanks to your playa content, I was able to finally break 80 this past weekend. Your lessons with Sensei Chong were the difference maker. Swinging the club so pain free now. Thanks brother.
I used a similar method to break down my game instead my 6-6-6 was breaking the course up into 6 hole 'groupings'. My goal was to go +3 throughout every grouping. This would lead me to an 81 or 80 depending on the course. This really helped bring me to the point where I could break 80 because it forced me to manage my game for the short-term (i.e. the holes I was actually playing) instead of thinking ahead. Eventually this became normalized and as my game grew, I now try to go +2 for every set of grouping!
Well done, sir. Quality video. Excellent advice. Thank you kindly.
like this system a lot, will try it on my next round!
I took gas yesterday by thinking of end score...Wasn't playing well at all, hit 3 fairways and 4 greens after 14 holes, yet was 1 under for the round. Started thinking about holes 16,17 and 18 as they are a difficult finishing trio. Teed up on 15, par 3, and pulled it left. failed to get up and down...onto 16th tee. Par 5, and on my best day I can get up in 2. Pulled out the big gun, sliced it into the trees, took two to get out. Still had 280 to the flag, so hit a hybrid lay up. 5th shot was a fluff but managed to get up and down after for 7. 17th is a straight par 4, 400m, Playing into the wind. Big gun came out again, went left, again chip out, missed green left walked off with 6. caned a tee shot on last hole, but still 196 left to flag....hybrid, 2 chips , 2 putts...6. So lost 7 shots in last four holes for 78. Ended up coming second in event, by 2 shots....should of hit hybrid off tee on 16 and the frustration of double wouldn't have gone with onto hole 17.......
The first step to magnificence has been taken sir. Youve verbalized the issue and learned from the errors.
Next time out, your mind will be stronger I am sure. And there will always be a next time. If you can do it once, you can do it 100 times
Think I’m going to give this a go. Great videos by the way, it’s good to be able to relate to the person playing for once.
I love the education your video shows, thanks man
Love watching your videos! Keep it up. I struggle with brain farts as well and always can't stay in the present and take one shot at a time.
Thanks for the vids. Going to practice that putting drill starting tonight.👍😀
My advice as someone who has broke 80 many times is to really practice chipping and putting big time , if your a reasonable golfer on the tee and approach shots , cool , you don’t have to even be long, just straight or shaped and pop it in the fairway, forget driving range just find a 100 yard space in a park and dial in those chips and lobs , your first 79 will follow, also play with real fight and passion like Seve , you have to believe. You can do it ,
Totally agree, find the fairway, hit GIR or close, find a way to be putting for par. Some par putts will drop, some not, there will be some birdies also. Either way, a good score should follow.
Great video again! I head toChiang Mai in January, cant wait! Your videos have changed my game. Heading back towards single figures. Never thought I would or could get there again. Thanks mate.
tHANK YOU FOR THE POSITIVE MENTAL IMAGES TO BE FOCUSED ON. lOOKING FORWARD TO PUTTING THEM INTO PRACTICE THIS FRIDAY
Saw this video last night then went out this morning and shot 39 (had been averaging 42-43 recently). Thanks for the advice!
Waddaplaya and lets string two of those together over 18!!
"Must make par, must make par...ugly, ugly, ugly." Sounds like the voice in MY head--except without the funny accent. Great video, Matt. We've all heard advice like this before, but it has more impact when you see it playing out on the course. BTW, for years I've routinely put my hole scores down as -1, E, +1, etc., rather than the actual score. I'll try your way instead. Another Matt (Practical Golf?) has a similar recipe for breaking 90 every time: In play off every tee (no matter what club it takes); no penalties/no 3-putts; a par putt on every green (no matter how long and even if it's your first putt).
Sean Coxe
Thank you sir. And there is nothing stopping us shooting amazing scores other than our heads and our own self sabotage.
Looking forward to the next few months as I have a super experiment coming up that Im not sure many if any people have ever done and put it on youtube! Then we will separate the players from the haters. That score vs par is a scary way of playing golf and when youre +8 on the 15th, we forget we can make 4 straight birdies and instead give up and end up shooting 82 because its pointless to try. No more i say!!!
Been hovering around 46-47 consistently and haven’t been happy with my game and ended up shooting a 51 which made me realize I needed to change my approach of the game. I saw this video, have applied it, and my last two rounds have been 41’s on below than average ball striking/putting days. Thank you so much
That, sir, is what I'm talkin' bout! Keep going! Why only 9 holes though?
Love that approach shot of yours on the 5th. Great game playing strategy right there
Wadaplayuh!🤣Excellent video man. Great combination of tips and humor.
Great stuff as usual. Love it.
Production value is getting up there mate! Another great video
Thanks for your impressive strategic advice, Just broke 80 after 2 rounds post watching your video. How I did it, I left the ego at home and played with my brain rather than trying to impress my playing partners with glory shots. Thanks so much . Go the Bocks.
This is great advice that helps me when I'm struggling with golf, "think about the does not the donts"
EXACTLY 100% on the money
Matt. First of all I live and play golf in the Philippines. so quite similar courses (grass, greens, weather, etc). I tried your 6-6-6 process first on a 9 hold round 3-3-3 and it was great. then today i tried the 6-6-6 on a tournament and although I shot a 97 (* with 3 OB's) I payed so much better with the process based vs outcome based..... I shot 6 GIRs ( i usually get 2) 1 Up-&-Down and several more than 6 Birthday/bogey/doubles......BUT!!!! I was finding the mental game way better. Thank you for being a normal guy (Playya) helping other Normal Guys....your process on where to always play safe -Left -Right-Long - Short really helped my mental focus instead of just aim at the pin and hope for the best. Really appreciate it!!
Luke Lyons
Waddaplaya! Three OB balls will always kill you but once they go away, you will be the killer! I hope my left handed stuff will help you too. I started playing lefty to be more like a new player or higher handicap again. Will release it soon in next couple months. Enjoy and keep going playa
Great Video My Friend Thank you very much !
Hi Matt,
This is absolutely ORIGINAL. 6-6-6 and not counting scores? That is the BEST advice ever! Seriously, I have been playing to Par for far too long. It only leads to frustrations and pain haha.
I do hope your subscribers grow and you get to share more contents in the future. The video quality and editing is improving every step of the way 👍
Cheers.
Yo ZZ have not forgotten you sir! Will try get to KL in november
dear Matt..again tQ tQ tQ for making/editing this video.
tQ tQ tQ for all the tips n advice(they are all priceless, tQ), wont repeat what they are.
love those mini flags..thumbs up.
i am just starting the concept of using only ur best_able clubs to use for best results..no more clubs i am not capable of hitting at 90% at least.
all the best to u n frens n with prayers all to be safe always ..💜💜💜
p/s .. pixel said.. u hv come a long way from ur earlier videos .. I AGREE!! i was awed by this video..
(i still remember ur video @KUKUP, JB .. even then i said it was good 👏..
tQ tQ tQ)
Watched this video last night and shot 75 today, so thanks for the tips! I'm ready for the break par video.
Excellent. Breaking par video will come....when I break par. I have a 73 and 72 video planned for down the line. Give it a month or so.
Matt, great videos, very different and informative, keep up the good work!
Thank you good sir
What I really enjoy after setup my own 6 holiday holes is that not only I am more relaxing, and surprisingly; start make 'birdies' on some of these holes. Thank you for sharing this wonderful process !
That's what people don't realize when they dismiss the idea in the video. They think you won't ever improve at golf and golf isn't fun like this bla bla bla.
but when you relax because you take pressure off yourself, you score better and start making birdies and more pars with less big blow ups.
Tremendously fun and enriching content. Very appreciative of the effort 🌴👍
Another great video. I’ve already taken and applied so much from your others. I would love to see you on some of the California courses. Thanks for doing what you do.

As a South African and the mission of getting a visa to the US, I guess the closest I will get to California may be my trip back to South Africa in December on the garden route and my home town of Port Elizabeth. Get some rollout for a change! And some significant wind!! Up to 4 club winds some days! We have some seriously nice coastal courses right on the ocean with the sheer drops into the sea like you have on west coast. One day California!
Great video!!! These caddies had me in stitches! Oh yes mannnn ball in play 😂
I like how you broke the game down into manageable chunks and then explained why process thinking is better than outcome thinking.
I tried the 666 system today and broke 90 stress free. But more importantly showed that I need to improve on the up and down part of the game. So more focus there and I think stress free breaking 80 is next. Thanks!
Been watching since the start. Great video as always and my oh my had the production increased! Whataplaya!

Thanks for your loyal viewership CT
Great way of looking at the game. Thanks for the video.
Hi Matt, just discovered you. Tried your mindset today and found it brilliant. 7 GIRs 3 up and downs 8 Birthdays so room for improvement. Shot gross 79 and didn’t make a single chip or long putt. I’m over the moon! 🏌️♂️👍🏻
That's what it means to be a playa. Well done sir! Keep it stress-free and you'll soon be shooting level par!
Great Video Matt ! Thx
I've never thought of it like this. I'm going to Florida for 10 days for a golf trip with my Dad and Uncles. I am going to try this out and see if it takes some of the pressure I put on myself knowing I need to par or birdie "x" amount of remaining holes. Thank you for the tip!!
Great as long as that message got accross, no need to put pressure on any score on any hole Just get that baby in the hole in as few shots as possible
Thanks for these videos - they have been really helpful to make me more enjoy my golf game ( which still needs a lot of work). But it's more fun using your system. Also, your videos make me want to move back to Asia. Now.
Thanks playa, keep going and it will always get better!
This is incredibly good advice. Also great to hear English spoken the way it was meant to be. I have noted down all your suggestions from the two videos below. Moei so, boet!
Breaking 90: 666 System
Set the right goal for the day. Formulate the process that will achieve that goal
- [ ] 6 Greens in regulation
- [ ] 6 Up and downs
- [ ] 6 birthday holes
How:
- [ ] Forget outcome based thinking
- [ ] Embrace process based thinking
- [ ] Create your own story
- [ ] Forget targeting pars and bogeys
- [ ] Focus on things under your control
- [ ] Take baby steps
- [ ] Hit the green not the flag
- [ ] Being around the green enabling a chip and putt also counts. It doesn’t have to be on the green.
- [ ] Don’t pin hunt
- [ ] Set yourself up with the easiest chance to hit a green
- [ ] Hit it to the heart of the green
- [ ] Chip it to a position to get up and down
- [ ] Focus on the steps needed to get the ball in the hole in the least # of shots (process) not the score (outcome)
- [ ] Just get the ball in the hole (process based thinking) not a particular score (outcome based)
- [ ] If you miss, make sure to miss to where you have an easy chip to the hole
- [ ] Avoid the worst case scenario
- [ ] Avoid negative thoughts, stress and tension
- [ ] If you are under-clubbing then take one more club and shoot for the middle back of the green
- [ ] If it’s a stretch, divide the distance by two and play two shots
- [ ] When you have an obstacle in your way, look for a shot you are sure you can pull off
- [ ] Play your game. Play what you know and trust (eg fade not draw).
- [ ] Only proceed with the shot once you have all the info you need in order to proceed
- [ ] Fully commit to your choice of club and swing. Having no trust = no confidence = poor swing = bad shots
- [ ] Only write down the score at the end of each hole. No pluses and minuses, pars and bogeys. Just hitting greens in regulation, up and downs

Hit stress free shots
- [ ] Only hit the shot when you have all the information
- [ ] Hit the simplest shot, every shot
- [ ] Remove ego from the decision making
- [ ] Plan each hole to get the best approach shot
- [ ] Plan and commit to each shot using think box and play box
- [ ] Attack pins suiting your shot shape
- [ ] Only hit shots you know how to hit (play what you know, avoid what you don’t know)
- [ ] Keep a positive or neutral mood throughout the round
- [ ] Monitor calorie intake between holes 12-15 (I like this one!)
- [ ] Don’t over-reach. Par is a good score.

So much improvement from the previous videos in graphics and sound.
Love the thinking process. Will definitely try.
Cheer up playa!
Also thanks for the interesting putting drill
Thanks a lot, today I play 79, my first time break 80, your lesson is very helpful to me, thanks.
Man I rewatched this and totally forgot how funny this video is. One of your best all time writing. "Psychological nudity" slayed me a 2nd time🤣
Tried 6-6-6 today for the first time. Definitely helped me mentally, had no idea my score till I tallied. Thought I’d try & stick close to your numbers but 6 up & downs would be a miracle for me. It was my best score at this course ever! even with a couple 3-putts. And had 6 GIR’s, 6 up & downs, 6 Birthday holes! I apparently nailed it. What’s the 3-3-3 method?:)
This system is outstanding.
I broke 80 today for the first time this season.
I checked my card and had EXACTLY:
6 up and downs
6 greens hit
6 “birthday holes” (5 of them were 3 putts)
I was aware of this system from watching this video last night but wasn’t actively thinking about it while playing.
I stole 2 birdies and played some of the best golf I’ve played in 2 years, despite the 3 putts (very frustrating).
Thank you for giving me a new outlook on the game and a completely different approach to course management!
Its a kinda magic!
The main point as you have found is to get yourself into positions that allow the stats to take care of themselves. Its not about shooting for the 666 but about being in the right position to achieve them all and still relax with those 6 poopoo holes. Great job playa
Golf Sidekick much appreciated! Keep up the great content!
This is excellent Matt. I'm starting to leave my inner 'Billy-Big-Bollocks' at home more often and hitting easier shots after watching your vlogs. As soon as you focus on your score (good, bad or indifferent) it kills your game. You have to take each shot at a time and be patient. You never know your next shot could be a worldy…..
Howard Jones
Bro, that is 100%. I always think, this shot might be the best one I have ever hit. Nothing is stopping it from being so. I love your comment. Great and insightful
9:49 I thought that tree was an overhead view of the map and got so confused why no tracer was going over it
Enjoyable content. Keep it up!
Good round matt !!
Just stumbled on this channel and have been really enjoying the crackerjack content! Keep up the great work! Cheers from Northern California
Dude I love your videos! Took your advice yesterday and shot a 79 in a 10 person 2 team scramble. We won and it was the first time my partner and shot shot under 80!
The Duke Of the Region
Sir, you are officially a playa. You have graduated and I couldnt be prouder. Waddaman! I apologize in advance for your falling handicap
Golf Sidekick haha you are officially my new favorite channel! Love the locations you play and your voice over is slick as those clubs too. I’ll try do video and edit my home course Near Chicago. Thailand is beautiful though and the quality of your camera makes these videos worth watching
While golfing in the “Land of Smiles” I started putting a big smile on my face after addressing the ball. It relaxed me before my takeaway. I still do this and it works really well. A tense body does not hit a golf ball well.
DUDE, ME TOO! I do it often when I am not feeling like playng or I am having a bad round. It works 100%1!! I love that
Great idea, thanks. I've been trying to be too good and that certainly isn't working.
Broke 80 today for my first time, a lot of it is from the mentality picked up watching your videos. The rest is the work I've put in with clubs 8 - 60°. Next up, 72!
Legend.
I think you can break 80 by 1. No three putts 2. Hitting greens on next shot when missing a green in regulation. 3. No penalty strokes. 4. No double bogies which is a reflection of accomplishing points 1-3.
Benjamin Lee
I broke 80 today for the first time in a while and here are a few interesting stats:
5 three-putts (horrible for me)
2 double bogeys
2 birdies
So not all of that is necessarily true, but it’s certainly a good goal to set.
I got up and down better than I have all season and I found myself putting from off the green way more than normal and that made a huge difference.
The only reason I’m saying this is so that you understand it’s not impossible to shoot in the 70s with a double bogey or 2 or while 3 putting here and there. Don’t give up. 🤘🏻
ive shot 80 once. low 80s a few times its all about putting and the tee shots for me
@@brucenlittlepictures It was a general rule. There are exceptions of course. I have broken 80 many times with double bogies, three putts. I have even broken 70 a couple times with double bogies or three putts.
I would add that hitting fairways is very important as well as it is an avoidance of missing greens and penalty shots.
I like the idea of hitting the ball straight with authority . Which I perceive you doing . Depending on your perception of your target !!!
