Omg i won the tweak pack! Ive never had a lesson before! This will be awesome 👌👏
Congrats Alex! Keep us all informed how it goes ;)
Enjoy!
You should fill us in with your progress
Have sent off my driver swing for tweaking 👍
@@lawso3798 any news on the tweeks then baus?
One thing J5 taught me in this video is to have fun! So many times, you want to beat yourself up because of a bad shot, but if it happens, just move on to the next shot.
Enjoyed this video, most golfers would kill to drive the ball and hit the greens he hits. My oldest brother may he Rest In Peace told me drive for show put for dough, up and down gets the crown. Actually I enjoy all your videos, since I’ve seen every one of them. Thanks again for being a real golfer, sharing your strategies and insights they’ve certainly helped my game.
You know Matt you should have an annual tournament in the states like a playas open. Members get stuff or discounted cart/green fees whatever but still open only to subscribers, heck it could be a nation wide thing! A sub amateur regular guy/gal golf gig.
Cant tell u enough how much i get out of your videos Matt! You have a gift for entertainment & mentoring! Thanks bud!
Thank you. Wadda lot i got
J5 is money with the driver. Better than myself actually, however his putting is what is unfortunately keeping his scores so high. The potential for low scores is there though ! Another great video. Can't wait for the next 👍
Short game requires imagination. The ability to see what will happen from a landing point and adjusting that landing point to get the required result. This guy knows his course, the only thing missing is repetition - practicing the shots round his greens. That's life, or rather his busy life is in the way of getting his youth back. I wish him well in finding the time to unlock the short game, then watch out Par he's coming for you!
It would be a pleasure playing a round with a guy like J5. Very positive attitude!
41 putts (excluding putts from off the green)...jeez, a half hour of putting practice before each round could get him down to 36 putts per round and he's a 10...so appreciate these videos
I love this guy. He pounds it. Great example of what people should work for their games.
J5 is an absolute beauty! Great video and highlights one of the coolest parts of golf- meeting cool people out there.
I loved this video! So easy to see myself and my buddies in J5 and I was rooting for his long putts out loud!! I hope he can find some space to practice the lag putts and short game, then Matt brings him back on to show a 79!!
I. Can. Relate. Same handicap. Mostly decent drives. Get "close" to the greens, but hit few.
Thought I really needed to work on approach accuracy, but after watching this, I really need to zero in on my up and downs from around the green. Mats at the range don't capture the work around the greens that I see. Need to find a good short practice game area at a golf course!
Well done for being on camera for a full 18 holes. If he can improve his putting he will be single digits easy. Well played my friend.
very unique kind of pressur ebut j5 is a naturalé
@@GolfSidekick it is a lot of pressure especially for a higher handicap golfer. I’ve filmed myself loads on RUclips and it’s difficult to focus on the camera and your swing.
Shot 91 this morning. Tripled the last. When you expect the 3 wood to fade like it has all day but goes bullet straight into the bushes. Had a great morning and was home by 9.30am. Loving life! I listened to the art of putting but I definitely need to listen again and practice.
J5 is a class act. I was in a similar spot a few years ago with the putter. I changed to no look putting figuring if i was going to hit a bad putt looking at the ball what difference will it make not looking at it! Anyways has completely taken the stress of putting out of my game. Took a little getting used to but is now a natural thing. Highly recommend checking it out for fellow playas. Another classy vlog GS. Thanks!
Heads up putting is the way to go!
I played The New Course, The Jubilee & The Castle courses a couple months ago. The Castle is by far the most enjoyable. I was very underwelmed by the other 2. I was 2 inches off a hole in 1 on 17.
That would be a hole in one for the ages!!
My favorite type of golf is playing with people who love the game as much as I do. I don’t care if they are a 20+ handicapper. Serious but not that serious. I don’t even care if they don’t know all the unwritten rules of golf. Play music as loud as you want, step on my line, talk in my back swing, I don’t care if they just enjoy each shot for what it is. For whatever reason I play my best golf and I’m a low 70’s shooter with 1 or 2 rounds out of 10 under par.
Agree bro
Yeah this is definitely one of the better 15 hcp golfers I've seen. That course is tough too.
This course is extremely difficult if you are inconsistent off the tee and the green areas are no joke either. The wind looked manageable on the day. A typical 15 hcp would be easily looking at +100 for their first round imo.
First!!!! Can’t wait for the Old Course video!!!!!!! Playa in Chief going to the birthplace.
이 골프 영상은 정말 멋진 스윙을 보여주네요! 골프 스윙의 특유한 자세와 트릭들을 배워가며, 골프가 단순한 운동이 아니라 예술의 한 형태임을 느낄 수 있었습니다. 선수의 스윙이 정말 멋지게 표현되어 있어서, 나도 그런 플루이드한 움직임을 연마하고 싶다는 열망이 생겼습니다. 앞으로도 이런 멋진 영상들을 기대하며 골프에 더 많은 시간을 투자하고 싶어졌습니다. 감사합니다
thats what i always say playa
J5 looking really fluid with that swing, especially the long clubs. A sight to behold!
I’m an 8 handicap and I wish I had J5’s swing and attitude. I think this is a great example for all those people that say distance is king and working on short game doesn’t save you as many strokes. If J5 has the time to work on his short game he’ll be a single digit handicap in no time.
Matt, Thank you so much for all your content. I made a comment a few months back about breaking 100 constantly and yesterday I shot an 86! Thank you for all the great tips
Nice legend well done. What made the difference
Mental game. And getting it on the fairway and out of trouble. I started out with just using 5-6 iron off tee with I took some crap for lol. But dialed in my shots better and went from there.
That tee box on 14 provides an amazing view! I know yall had fun!
I had given into the dark side of obsessing with recording my swing and trying to fine tune it with a lessons and Swingtweaks. Going to the driving range and scraping and hitting so much over the last couple of months and my scores kept rising.
And then I remembered what got me to lower scores in the first place. I watched Break 90 and Break 100 videos and worked on short game and putting. Yesterday I finally relaxed enough on the golf course to just play one shot at a time and shot an 86. The way of the playa is back and I ain’t never going back. Next spring and summer is going to be ripe with lower scores with high scores sprinkled in because that’s golf.
This guy would be an amazing scramble partner. 15 cap, crushes the ball.
This guy's playing looks almost exactly like mine. Except throw in about two shanks into water with my irons. Now I know where I need to make up all those strokes - better misses and tighter short game
Aw man, relate to J5. Im playing off 12 atm but ive only got a long game too. Love to putt but chipping always leaves me high and dry. One of these days man 😆
This looks like you just had a ton if fun. Great vid
very good player in there. a season really focused on putting distance control, and less attack towards all greens and he's gonna go low! I think he got 4 or 5 GIR and he could easily get that up to 8 or 9 with his driving foundation
Never breaking 90 with 40 putts 36 is 2 a hole strive for 2 or less average putts per hole. Miss on pro side on lags make all 4 ft putts
Never give up when putting I can shoot 65 or 85 but always near par when I putt well
Really like the way he played the 15th. Way of the playa in action
Loved this, J5 love the attitude. 🎉😊
This course looks sweet. I've played the Old and New courses there and they're great, but lack a little terrain. So the views aren't that great, but this looks really good.
And J5 has a buttery swing.
“You have shaved more holes than a maternity ward!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Im the reverse of J5 - can't hit a Driver, FW or Hybrid straight or far. 156 carry with my 5i...average 32 putts a round and good at chipping and pitching from 120 yards and in. I had a lot of 9-hole rounds of 40-45 this year. I have not been out on a Regulation 18 in a while, been playing with my Wife who is brand new to the game and we play our local 2500 yard, 9-hole course. I'm sure the scores will creep up on the regulation 18 due to the respective 9 holes being longer than the 2500 yards. But if I play smart, I should be able to get close to breaking 90 for sure.
Jeez Louise those greens look brutal!
These greens look BRUTAL
Absolutely loved playing the castle course
Those greens have 3 putt written all over them..lol.. I'd sure like to see Matts round on this course. Thanks man
This is my favourite course in St Andrews, I simply love it
His approach game is loose which leads him to looooong putts when he does hit the green. But his chipping and putting is what is holding him back. 42 putts, including seven three putts, and 12 save chances with zero saves. He should be making about 1/3 of those. This round could have very easily been an 82-83 instead of a 90. Love that driver swing, and his course management is pretty solid as well.
Best vid I've seen here in a while. More J5 pls
That hole 18 frame was picturesque
I played with a guy years ago who had one of the most beautiful, compact swings I've ever seen. He hit powerful drives and crisp irons. He could've walked onto the driving range and hit balls at a tour event and no one would've batted an eye, he'd have fit right in. Yet I, a 4-handicap at the time, was able to beat him by several strokes. It wasn't a matter of me playing out of my mind or him getting bad bounces. The guy struggled a bit with distance control and just couldn't make a wise decision. He wasted all those beautiful shots. I never asked but he had to have been about an 8 or 10 handicap, but with wiser choices and average distance control, the guy'd have been scratch or better.
Great video! J5 is a good sport!
Loved this video. Real golf. J5 putter looked way too short for him🤔. Or maybe he should buy a cheap left hand putter to try.??? Great tips Matty
He just had the yips. Think he has since worked on it
Honestly the biggest thing that helped me break 90 consistently was using a range finder lol. I normally shoot high 80s, seldom above 90 now. Used to be high 90s without a range finder.
I hit it very similar to J5 but I break 90 every time I play. When I miss a green I just use an 8 iron, putt it along the ground to a foot (or in the hole quite often) and tap it in for par. I only hit 2 to 4 greens a round but still get 10 to 12 pars
cool course
@8.50
I think that was why Gary Player Jnr got kicked out of the Masters.
J5 and I have so much in common. I don't have the yips, but that's about it.
Did you give him your personal copy of POOYM ? J5 is a playah, thoroughly enjoyed the guest appearance.
This is me, 280 down the middle full shots I'm good at. I'm so bad with mid to short irons and wedges. Taking off distance is impossible for me. I lose control of the face. 1.7 putters per hole. I'm a 6ish handicap.
my friend. I see you show the Takomo iron in 1 video. what do you think about Takomo 101s. Im 20 handicap golfer
They’re great for high handicap. I think the 201 are also good.
Love them jams !
What app was J5 using there? 👀 what a smooth swing
We have all heard improve short game In general spend 1/2 time on putting and half on chipping? Or something else. I imagine that this is like constant practice also. I mean you work on it often. Is that your thinking?
whatever you need most help with spend more time on that
you dont even need to do much short game stuff to be honest
but most poeple do none
J5 must've been fun to play with. What a funny bloke!
He just needs some short game lessons stat. He will drop ten shots in no time!
If he can fix that pully/close-faced putting stroke he will easily break 90 and more
When you coming to Durbs for a round bro. Can play the new DCC course.
My problem is that I care so much to play well, and I also believe I am better than how I score.
J5 ... Waddaplaya 4 sure. Be yourself... always. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
J5 I feel you. Same situation here 😅
Good tunes. Setzer?
100% see myself when i watch J5. i can decently hit drives, fairway woods, irons. but get me 40yrds and in, i break down. i cant putt to save my life and thats the biggest factor in my game.
Still waiting for the St. Andrews round!
I have no long game. I can hit my 5 wood 200 yards. That's it. Driver and 3 Wood will slice 180 yards. I can still break 90 occasionally. I can chip and putt with the best of them however.
J5 should be single figures with that swing
Where did tou play your golf in Joburg?
I get the yips on my long putts too. Pull to the left and overpower/stab at it.😢
J5’s 1st and 2nd shot are absolute money 💰
Fair play to him, that's a tough course.
The course he's playing, mistakes. can result in big numbers. If he is able to improve his third shot, manage those distances better, he should break 90 comfortably.
Wadda legend
Matt, so what do you consider as 'short game'?....100 yards and closer?
From the hole back in this order.
Start at One and Go further back from the hole until you’re competent.
1. One foot putts. Make 50 or 100 in a row.
2. Putting to a tee in the green for distance control. Stop the ball within a foot. Never leaving the next putt in the same direction.
3. Chipping around the green using toe down chipping and rule of 12. Chip to on average 3 feet or less in the practice green.
4. Pitch shots. Develop one Swing (50% feeling) and change the loft of the club to change distances with the same swing.
5. Bunker shots. Get out in one shot using techniques I’ve explained for soft or hard sand depending on your location.
6. Half 7 irons on the range for contact.
That’s all you really need. Work backwards and stop at the one that you struggle with until it’s good. Then move to the next.
Awesome, thank you!
I'm just the opposite of J5. I have a great short game and putter, but my long game is nada.
This guy needs to try:
- The claw grip for putting
- The Ping Chipr for chipping
What a great swing not being capitalised on...
What a sweet long game this guy has. No wonder he has fun. Unfortunately his putting is something small children would be embarrassed by.
This is me...first 250 yards in one shot... the next 150 yards 5 shots...
I thought it was cold there... This playa is wearing shorts!
lovely striker of the ball, you couldn't have picked a worse course for someone that struggles with the short game, the green complexes at the castle course are horrific!
he loves castle - he is a fife boi
We loved the lay out upto the greens, felt they were not suitable for the course, especially in the wind. Seemed like a really solid guy, such level head on him.
The score does not do J5 any justice. He is definately a potential Single Handicapper. By the way the greens on this course seems extremly unforgivable, very difficult to put well.
I'm the opposite. My short game is better than my long game. If my long game matched my short game I would be around a 15 handicap. I'm like 29.5 right now. I would be happy with 15 seeing that I only play once or twice a month.
This is me. I can drive no problem. Then Its completely hack golf after. Working on it.
Love a guy who talks to his balls like J 5 does.
How are you not freezing your Jacob’s off?
Oh my even J5 got the TUBA 😏
Def wouldve guessed J5 had a much lower hcp if you hadn't have said he's a 15.
This course is so hard when it’s blowing
Perfect example of someone that needs to sit on the putting green and work on his putting for hours. Learn to 1-2 putt guy will be shooting low 80s every round
Links Golf looks really hard. I have no idea how my game would translate.
ahaha i have the same clubs and shoot the same! Good ol' R9 full trust
how bloody difficult is this course ???😳
again, hole 7 310 yard drive????
If J5 was wearing a Kochenbolz polo, he would've shot single digits for sure
This guy is like Happy Gilmore! I'd kill for that long ball
J5 needs a bird dog putter.... Shaved more holes than a maternity ward..ahha..I hope to win stellar WAP gear..3.2 is still my unattainable guess...
everybody needs a birddoggy
@@GolfSidekick I hope you followed my innuendo.. shaving holes and WAP WaddAplaya gear.. and the other WAP
🖖
Putter is clearly 1 or 2 inches too short
