I'm a year and a half late for this video but thank you! One thing I've noticed is that there are so many RUclips videos and before golf articles on grip, stance, swing plane and on and on that don't really assist with PLAYING the game. I have finally realized that course management is way more important than getting an extra 10 yards on my driver. Tips like quit trying hero shots, laying up, taking more club and just getting out of trouble is way more valuable and shaves way more strokes off your score than getting a few extra yards distance. One of my biggest faults is trying to get it as close to the green as possible that leaves me in awkward distances like 30 yards where if I was using more course management I would give myself an 80-100 yard shot with a wedge which I can hit way more often than I can a 30 yard pitch. Laying up in front of water instead of trying to hit the perfect shot that will just barely carry a hazard is something that I have never honestly considered. I'm normally in the 95-105 range when I play and looking back, most of my errors are poor course management. I had knee surgery a few months ago and haven't been able to play for the past 2 years because of knee pain. That's starting to go away and I can't wait to get back out on the course and apply all the lessons I've learned about playing smart. Thank you so much Matt. You and other channels that give advice on how to manage your way around the course are invaluable.
GREAT tips, Matt! I've been guilty of trying to play "the Hero" shots (and my scores definitely suffered). Your instructions are solid and a good reminder to be practical (play smarter). Thanks again! Cheers!~
v. good useful advice. #5 - i've found coming relatively late to golf (40) that your brain is programmed from other sports to automatically see the target (hole) and what's in front of it, as you're instinctively seeing a direction of travel from you to the target (hole).
Hi Matt, I am from South Africa and I usually hit my 6-iron about 165 and always come up short, but when I watched this video I took my 5-iron and I was about 2 metres from the flag, THANK YOU FOR THE ADVICE
We all know, or, should know of all the disaster shots you have listed. However, I have failed to learn so, your video is such a good reminder to engage the brain before you play your shot. Great video.
My most common disaster shot (here in northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin) is hitting my tee shot into the trees (LOTS of trees on the courses here). Jail... dead! Most of my friends hit driver, and when I hit 5-word or hybrid off the tee, they ask "Why are you hitting that 'baby' club?" 😂 I would rather play short and out of the fairway.
Yep out of the fairway has it's advantages! If you can work on the driver in the mean time and get that straightened up then youre on to a real winner!
Have to say Matt I’ve watched a few of your hints and tips videos and they’re some of the most helpful videos I’ve seen for game improvement. Clear and concise and a real issue for golfers at all levels. I would say 3 out of 5 with the hero shot on par 5s with a 3wd or going for glory out of the rough and the aiming for the flag and not the largest part of the green are what cost me with the occasional wedge skull that bullets across the green. One of your other videos I seen recently really helped me with knock down wedge distances and using clock positions. Keep up the good word Matt!
Recently started playing below my handicap by 2-3 shots (although I have a big handicap to work on) so they are and thanks. I keep plugging away. But a bit more focus on course management has really helped. Thanks again!
Good information for the average golfer like me keep the good information up will definitely my game keep these instructional game videos up Mesa Arizona
Great video Matt, I know this is a couple of years old now, but still so true. Another key one for me is to 'Take your medicine'. If you hit a bad shot and end up in trouble, don't try the hero shot and aim for that 2 foot gap between a couple of trees, get back on the short stuff as easy as possible and don't cost yourself yet another stroke.
This video sums up my game at the moment! I'm going to watch this vidio before playing Saturday and see if I can lose at least 5 of those stupid strokes I throw away every week.
Always try to avoid making a bad situation worse. It is amazing how many times you can "save" a shot with an up a down or a good wedge after a lay up. Keep doubles off your card.
Matt brilliant tips clear and concise. My shortfall is wrong club selection at the moment but you have given me food for thought. I still use your tips about chipping and I've improved tenfold.
Great stuff, Matt. I've made all of these mistakes, as have most golfers. This video is a great reminder that stupid thinking on the course leads to higher scores.
Ran into this the last 2 times I played my local course. 220 shot into the green separated from the fairway by water. I layed up both times leaving 100 yards into the green.
It seems to me that a general principle of more than one of these is _know where to miss_ and then move your aim a bit in that direction. Your average shot will still be close enough, but your bad shots won't be punished as much. You do lose the benefit of a really good shot, but if you hit those a lot then you probably don't need to shade much.
In other words, we need to play more conservatively in order to avoid big numbers and lower our score. Reading a book that Ray Floyd published in 1998 on scoring and that is one of his themes. He also talks about how amateurs often under club on their approaches to greens (and on par 3) and consistently end up short of the hole. That goes to shot #5.
Great vlog Matt; realistic club selection and some course management makes a huge difference. Hero shots have been my downfall on occasion especially not selecting the enough club. Cheers!
Great video for course management especially for stroke play tournaments where the disaster seems to be always come in play. This video makes complete sense on paper. However, this video doesnt seem to work for me when Im on the course. Golf is very mental and just having fun and playing freely seems to result in the best scores than overthinking under pressure. I pulled off shot #1 this year 240 yard shot 3 wood with my buddies and nearly made the eagle putt. Ive also taken the safe play in touraments for #1 and #3 and still make double. You are right on paper with the #4 putting, however i seem to make more 2-3fts by just going back of cup, than giving putt too much attention, overthinking the putt and missing under pressure. With tip #5, you are correct on paper again, however most courses ive played the trouble is always long of the green, not short. Center of the green is my general mentality when looking at distance/accuracy.
great tips matt, the 3 wood shot is the one i mess up 5 times out of 10. it looks great when you pull it off but when you top it or slice it i end up struggling to make a score. will take on board your advice. cheers bill.
hi matt, i have one of those 37deg chipper clubs which i have started to use anywhere between 10/50yds from the green & i find i can get the ball closer to the hole than by using say a or 8/9 iron /wedge . may be you can do a video on this . cheers bill.
Thanks Mike, next time your in that situation try and think........"if i play to my strengths what score is the worst i'll make?" or "WDMS" what did matt say 😂
I do all of those. Towards the end of the golf season I tried to play more within my limits and take what the course was giving me. My scores seemed to improve, shocking really.
I've made all the bad choices thinking I was better than I know I wasn't.. marching up and saying I'll just finish that putt off and then missing..like a proverbial anti christ then for the next while!! Using a three wood knowing that I still haven't a hope of getting on the green and proceed to slice,top or hook the ball whilst trying to murder it... good tips Matt,common sense saves shots
Hi Matt. I'm struggling with both the chipping around the green and choose the wrong club. Leaving it short or land on the wrong side. Now we don't have the possibility to practice outside, because of cold weather and snow. We have to wait until the spring returns and the golf course opens up again.
@@Mattfryergolf Definitely. Had a bit of a slice for years especially with the driver. Even when I hit it flush still usually has a fade. Trying to work on that, does most damage to the card!
That’s good Ray, now you’ve recognised you do it just have to try and make the smart choices! May take a few time’s but that’s part of learning the game!
Great video...but its not a didaster i would say when you play with friends for fun, 1 time in 4 i would pull off that kind of shots,,,i always say you just have to try it on few holes.. But of course when you olay for HCP, tournament you have to play smart and let the ego home..i agree 100%
Hello, You are asking us to be sensible, mature and play a thinking smart game. Should be easy to do and is always in my plan on the first tee but somehow the required discipline evaporates. Great reminder for us especially if you are a high handicapper like me.
Only 230 yards, Crush that 3 wood, Get to 2 on 2 putt, Head down, Swing easy, swing through the ball, I've done this before (once 3 months ago) .... SWOOSH { Slice, Top, } .... Splash!!! Me every week on the same Par 5 trying to play Hero shot Number 1
Well, Matt, I must add a club, and then results will improve if I settle into my routine before every put. Improve my concentration and roll it into the hole.
There is a balance between trying to shoot your best score and having fun, and trying to get better. A high teen handicapper will miss 50% of their 4 footers weather they concentrate or not. I have played some of my better rounds when I forgot my driver at home.
@@Mattfryergolf , On shots 2, 3 and 4, especially on shot 4! The rush to finish makes us go wrong. Tomorrow I will play, I will do everything that was recommended. Thank you!
Hey Tuck,(sorry I can ya fryer Tuck) Got a question..I just bought a shaft online and it has a GP MCC+4 standard grip with 3 wraps of tape underneath so close to midsize... It is the best a club has ever felt in my hand BUT I have small hands, cadet medium, so I'm wondering should I use it..I have always used standard and honestly never felt completely comfortable but I'm a +2hc so I just never tinkered with grip size but bring an ex professional baseball player the thicker grip just feels natural to me... Should I test it out or do you think my hands are too small to even waste time on it
I would try it out, you can have a standard size going off hand side, but it comes down to how it feels in your hands! Your playing it and as long as it performs the same or better and feels good I'd change
I was watching this vid and cannot remember the last time I put it past the flag (excluding thinning it), I tend to hit front of greens and defiantly don't pay attention to what's behind
Regarding the short puts, I take your point, but don't you feel you can over think the short puts? I tend to miss these more in comps than when I'm just playing casually.
I'm with you on this, Peter. In a casual round with mates we'll often knock those short ones in without thinking, even one-handed, but put a card in our hands and.....
For me? ALWAYS under clubbing on approach. I've got to get into the habit of clubbing to the back-of-green yardage. Most courses, the trouble is almost always at the front.
In my mind, the first mistake is to have used the driver on the first shot in your first exemple. 4 iron, 7 iron and wedge would have been more conservative but safer.
Matt real quick I hit my 56 wedge 110yds I hit my 5iron 210-215 driver 270-280 but I struggle with my 9,8,7 irons with filling in the gaps 6 iron is even short at about 180-185. Long irons wedges I’m good but those mid irons are thought for me to get the distance to match the rest of my game. Any tips
Anyone else binge these videos before you go out for a round?
Nope, but I sure hell plan to start no matter if I’m at the range or going for a round. This is great stuff. I pay money for training this good. 😁
What I like most about how Matt trains is he prompts us to think about the game. It reminds me that golf is a thinking mans game.

This was super helpful, especially loved the last one with playing the club up...
GREAT tips, Matt! I've been guilty of trying to play "the Hero" shots (and my scores definitely suffered). Your instructions are solid and a good reminder to be practical (play smarter). Thanks again! Cheers!~
Thanks Scotty, we have all done it! If you can learn to get away from it though you will start making smart decisions!
Great vid! That last bit on playing behind the hole is particularly helpful. Thanks!
Some great hints and advice there Matt.Will be taking those to the course today.Keep up the tutorials .Clear ,precise and enjoyable!
Golf tips has been a superb bunch of videos !!! Bravo ....
Excellent video which accurately portrays several common challenges confronting inexperienced golfers. Cheers mate.
Brilliant tutorial. Really helpful. Think about each shot. Especially those short puts and chips. Thanks Matt. Love your videos!
i am still new to golf. but this video was truly helpful
Terrific advice. guilty of the "Hero shot" too many times to count!

Great stuff, Matt. I've made all of these mistakes, as have most golfers. This video is a great reminder that stupid thinking on the course leads to higher scores.
Exactly we may not swing it like fort McIlroy or Tiger Woods but we can start to think like them and reduce unnecessary errors
This post was well worth the watch. Thanks.

Great points. But I always get that mindset of if you don't go for it you'll never get it, gotta go for those hero shots sometimes surely ;-)
Good information, thanks Matt

That's it Dave! I want you to comment 1/3 in to the season and tell me your holing more shot ones because you're concentrating more!
Guilty of No 4 on so many occasions. Great advice Matt 👍

That was the best shot of the video finished 1 foot away
In my mind, the first mistake is to have used the driver on the first shot in your first exemple. 4 iron, 7 iron and wedge would have been more conservative but safer.
All of them!

Matt real quick I hit my 56 wedge 110yds I hit my 5iron 210-215 driver 270-280 but I struggle with my 9,8,7 irons with filling in the gaps 6 iron is even short at about 180-185. Long irons wedges I’m good but those mid irons are thought for me to get the distance to match the rest of my game.
Any tips
Without seeing tuff to say, could be scooping slightly in to impact. Also the loft/gaping of the lofts could be out due to manufacture tolerances
