I think you, Golf Sidekick and Not A Scratch Golfer complement each other very well with your attitude towards the game. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I am a disabled senior who started golfing three seasons ago. Matt’s videos had taught me more than any others. I still employ five to seven clubs and par is a good score. Thank you!
Love Matty’s channel. My favorite content on RUclips right now is between your channel, Matt’s, and Adam’s Not a Scratch channel. You guys make the game so simple. I stumbled upon some great golf this week and set personal bests over 9 (37 today) and 18 holes (78 on Monday)! I was in a bit of a funk with my irons for a few months and decided to stay patient because every other part of my game was clicking. It’s coming together! Hoping to best that 78 sometime in the next few weeks.
Excellent video. Props for decent golf in the cold and wind. Played up here in New Hampshire a few weeks back and it’s definitely challenging with the extra clothes on.
Another thing that will help is playing the angles from the tee. Always teeing up midway between the markers will make it harder to hit fairways and greens. For a fade, tee up nearer the right tee marker, and aim down the left side. As the ball drifts back to the middle, you have just made the fairway wider. This is from advice that Jack Nicklaus wrote about many years ago. Still solid advice.
I’m a big fan of Matty Boom Boom and a disciple. I’ve never taken the concept of target holes or play holes. I’d never play a hole thinking it’s a target or a play hole. Matt’s philosophy is counter to this. You don’t set expectations forms shot. You have a process you follow each shot and follow the process. You are going to hit some good shots and bad shots. Putting expectations on a hole just puts more pressure. The preround planning is to develop a strategy for each hole. It involves deciding how you want to play the hole from the green back and picking the best shot for you off the tee. Matt has talked about the rule of 12 chipping and gave a better method. He’s talking about toe down chipping more and more which is probably the easiest technique for chipping. With practice you can get good at it with one club or many clubs. As Matt says you need to spend 75% of your time on chipping and putting. As to the 8-4-6 . If you look at Arccos stats for a person that shoots around 80. They average 8 greens and 4 up/downs. So it’s a lot more reasonable than the 6-6-6 method which is 6 greens and 6 up/downs. But in the end the combination of the 2 adds to 12. I don’t think either of the 6-6-6 or 8-4-6 happen that often, but you need to be around 12 with the two combined. Matt’s philosophy is know what you can do with each club, go through your process and pick out your target, hit your shot, forget a bout your shot, and start the process over. Every shot takes into account all the factors that will impact the shot and picking a target so if you miss you’ll have the easiest up and down.
What ball are you playing? It may be a factor. Outside of the obvious hand's down winner prov 1 left dash. I am having great success with chromesoft x . TaylorMade tour response. For this cooler weather those are great choices for me. Average carry driver is 255 according to my launch monitor. my 7 iron is 175 in late fall/ cold weather. It is the most important thing you can buy for your game if you are hitting it somewhat consistently. There's very few times(when struck properly) I'm more than 15 yard's off my target in distance. I'm just using swing caddie sc100!! Those only go for $150 or less. It is worth more than buying a new driver or set of irons , trust me!
Hard choice, but I think I would rather have poor contact with a good score. Would help stay calm on future rounds knowing you don’t always have to be flushing it to score well.
Hilarious soundtrack on that ugly par 5 where you were talking to yourself. Hmm. Yeah, I monologue at myself too. I find it's a bad sign. Recently, I tried dropping your tip of long slow breaths into the middle of those angry, fast walking, stompy rushed rants. Pause. Breathe. Keep at it until it takes, dammit! It worked. I had to hit it pretty hard, 'cause I'm stubborn, me. But it worked. HTH. Tryin' to pay it back, you know.
Golf sidekick also states that you should take out the clubs that are hurting you.....I would recommend taking most of your wedges out and chip with your 8 or 9 iron etc...
Good contact but not score well. With good contact, the score will eventually get there automatically; if you’re not making good contact, those wheels are going to fall off sooner or later.
Try tightening your grip on fringe putts, then putting normal. If you start with a 4/10... tighten 1 point for each foot off the green. Any more than 6ft...chip it. 🙏
Don't laugh dept. If you want to keep a shot low, and want to make it run? Putt with your driver. Don't laugh. Choke down to the bottom of the grip, and give it a good stiff putting stroke. I had a tee shot, go to the wrong side of a row of trees, tee shot might have gone 220 to 230. Can't go over, can't go around, only thing to do, was to chip out with a long iron? Chip out, advance fifty sixty yards? Nope! Take your driver instead. Play a little cut shot, take a quarter to half swing, and punch it. I didn't see how far my ball went, but I knew it went in the right direction. I finally found it, laying ten to twenty yards from the green. Practice, practice, practice. Try it sometime, your friends will wonder where the he'll you learned that at. Especially good for shots under, or around trees, or restricted back, or finish swing. Class dismissed. Oh yea, I hit the like and subscribe buttons, I want to see you, GSk, and Taking get together.
I think I’d prefer good score poor contact, even tho I’d feel like I fluked it I’d rather that than to be confused and frustrated about how I made great contact but scored poorly
@@ronaldrigaud5712 a hole where when things aren't going right, you tell yourself it's okay. Or a more difficult hole where you can take it easy and play for a bogey.
Please test his 175 yard method. (ruclips.net/video/CICmkJW23j8/видео.htmlsi=3sANH94uUxoFgcIe) Not necessarily to break 80 or 75 but too see how it works for an average golfer. 👍

Golf Sidekick’s recent putting videos are the best I’ve found.

Sorry for the camera issues this video... Would you like me to put his other methods to the test or do this one on a full 18?
Duh.
I mean...I know it works. But yeah sure why not...put them all to the test
We didn’t need to see that 3-putt anyway haha
Enjoyed the video. Keep’em coming
I give Matty A+ as he is just AWESOME!!

Golf sidekick is a gem!!
Some of those putts were, “absolutely moneyski” 👍🏾
When you hit a bad iron or wedge that back foot seems locked to the ground impeding your turn. Thx for the videos.
Funny you say that. That is something I noticed in my swing a bit back but always forget it. This a good reminder
Much prefer his Horatio method over the rule of 12…simpler and very effective! Also, never use toe down chipping…only heel up ⛳️
Easy. Good contact is the key to this game.
Inevitably I’ll say to myself, “Be better! You’re better than that!”
love watching this. I live in Connecticut => your course looks like mine!
Lotta good treelined courses up here in the Northeast.

To answer your question i often have good contact and score poorly so let me get bad contact and score well 😅

pretty cool.

@@ronaldrigaud5712 a hole where when things aren't going right, you tell yourself it's okay. Or a more difficult hole where you can take it easy and play for a bogey.
what is one round gonna tell... you neeed a full season and look at index and stats evolution
If i score a 75 toeing every shot i am bragging about my 75. Bad contact that ends up in the cup is a good golf shot.
The point is I use contact as a "at least Im hitting it well" when Im not scoring. When Im scoring I dont care about the strike

USE a HYBRID to putt off the green
If you can hit 8 greens you’re probably decent at golf and have a great chance to break 80 anyways
