Great video Matt. Showing the percentages really gives a great idea of where shots are lost.
Matt, I love the approach, fail to plan,plan to fail. The targets are just measurements that keep us all on track, though when over the ball just give it a damn good crack! Great video
Is this from last weekend? Then we missed each other.😉 I spent the whole weekend in Quinta do Lago at the invitation of a very good business client for my birthday. Back home this afternoon.
Don’t be short on approaches to the North greens !
Keep plugging along you can do it. I have faith in you.
Love this attempt at shooting a good score. Hope it helps as much as you think. I bought into shot scope and it's helped me improve some what. Thanks Matt
To me it's seems much better than you think or wish to admit. On wards and upwards 🎉
Enjoyed the video just shows golf is a tough game
The single most important statistic for scoring is “ length of first putt” which means hitting it closer with short irons and short game. If you practice, 80% of your practice should be chipping, pitching within 90 yards and starting putts online. If you don’t practice, you need to get lucky. Many players have used the phrase, “the more I practice, the luckier I get.”
Loved the video and the idea I am going to do something similar for my handicap and see where I need to improve.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with the handicap
Matt, you seem to have a way of talking yourself out of a shot and then you're disappointed when you miss it. The magic of this game is the unexpected, embrace it!
The level of surprise in Matt when he made that birdie was kind of hilarious
Went there in early feb and was incredible condition then
Looks over the top today
The picture quality and audio quality on this video seems way better than other recent videos.
I just take this as the before shot in a before and after. Like the process , will adopt it for my 20+ handicap. Hopefully I can get back to 18.
I always feel emotional watching you Matt. You play some great shots, it would be my dream to drive the ball the way you do, but a some point through the round it always falls apart.
What hope to high handicappers like me have 😳
Matt, your golf profession doesn’t lend itself to maintaining golf standards. When you had the lesson with your father, he talked about the basics not being used. You play exhibition golf as all RUclipsrs do, often hitting shots that you wouldn’t in competition. Trouble is that becomes the new normal, so your game becomes an exhibition rather than a mapped progress around a course. If you and your pals Pete and Andy are serious about qualifying for the open, some competitions against each other, with something on the line might sharpen your minds. It’s about being a junior with aspirations again, qualified risk taking rather than rash risk taking. Use the basics, increase your swing speed (albeit, that should have started months ago) and play the courses of your youth trying to beat your personal bests. You know the games in there, it’s dragging it out again. I find if i dont work on speed regularly, at my age it drops quickly, so gym work, stretching and range speed work to get the drives that leave you sensible clubs in, without this greens in regulation become history, up goes the handicap. Some more daddy time is on the cards
Matt you look so much more comfortable with the G430 Max. Great video your authenticity sets you apart from the others
I appreciate that!
Get the FIR up and the rest of your game will follow. Keep going big guy.
Appreciate it 🤙
👍
Missing fairways with irons Matt ..... let's see some commitment in the shots , you're steering it
Yep was a steer of a round
Matt, I am nowhere near your standard of golfer but we similar in when we try to play safe off the tee it goes wrong
Do a video where unless it's a par 3 you take your driver
As if you hit trouble with driver at least you closer to the green
That could be an interesting one
You’re playing like me Matt!
I hope we can both improve then 🤙
So if I were to take similar stats, fairway in regulation is only off the tee, less the par 3s? Also would the 2nd shot on a par 5 be counted towards that stat?
Up and down are just short chips, but more subjective? Or is it aiming to under 10 ft to the hole?
Always find your videos instructive.
Great stuff but now there are base line numbers
Hi Matthew. Just fell on your video. I've never seen your channel before. Out of interest, what is your handicap? You have quite a nice solid swing.
But you know, in order to play consistently off scratch, your short game has to vastly tighten up and improve. Also, your positional play off the tee. But I'm saying what you already know.
Good luck with your quest. I can see a lot of great potential there.
Best wishes
Rich
I'm a PGA pro, but haven't played to the standard I would like lately! Thanks forthe advice 👍 hopefully can improve on those areas
@Mattfryergolf Oh, right, I see. It's such a difficult unforgiving game, huh.
I'm sure it'll all click into place.
Take care 🙏
I thought that was an interesting video. What it highlighted for me was that you lose a lot of strokes around the green with ordinary chipping. Your 'poor' approach shots weren't actually that bad, but you failed to get up and down even once. I think a focus on chipping practice would dramatically improve your score - and your confidence.
Great point!
You seem to try and shape your shots a little to much on approach and they never quite work but when you’re approach is in a straight line shot your never far away
I hit 2 fairways today and hit 74. +2. Just counted that there. FIR is over rated. 😂
You got it on 9, bad course management. Also, you need to putt instead of chip except you are a pro so you will not do that. Your bad chipping cost you 3 shots. Work on that! My cap is 5-6. Off-green or white tees. I am close to shooting my age off of the forward tees. I putt everything I can. I am 69 years old. I carry my drives 220- 230. As you said maybe give consideration to taking an extra club for control. Your ball striking is great.
Some good points! Chipping beads to be sharper for sure
Well you did say you want to be scratch, so on hole 1 you started with 0-0-0-0
Please hire a new camera man that can track ball flight 😅
Without trying to sweeten it up, that was a pretty poor show if you want to be a scratch golfer.
You obviously can do it, just hit the ball and stop messing about.
Right you are
Please stop saying 'pre-formance' I'm autistic and this is my biggest bug, with you, Peter Finch and Rick Shiels. You're all better than that
So the answer to your question is: no you can't play scratch golf....
I thought you had bemoaned flagstick in the hole, yet every recent video has them in🤷
