Matt, your best video ever. Hearing what you’re thinking, planning, analyzing, from hole to hole is very helpful in learning how to manage a round. Do more of those.
I agree with John above. I love hearing the thoughts coming from under the bucket hat. GREAT content. Would love more of this type of videos. Grow them birdies!!!! Luv it!!!!
walk up to the ball, address the ball, this going to be a great shot. What a Great Shot Playa! The Way of the Playa, The Zen Master. 90% of the golf shot is started between the ears
I rewatch your old vids for tips and tricks. Second hot dog seems to be the performance enhancing addition I need to my pre golf routine. Nothing but wisdom playa.
Playing in a foursome, we had a shot of 109 yards over water on the left, and sand on the right side, everyone was balking at hitting, I remembered you Matt, commitment, no doubts, commitment! I told my boys, I ain’t scared, whipped out the PW and dropped it within 6 feet! Commit! At 65 yrs old I finally learned to commit, see the positive! Thanks Playa!
It's so easy to get down on yourself, but man, look at what you're doing with these videos. You help so many people just watching you work a golf course. Teaching us how to play stress free, and to enjoy the game. Keep it up man...1% better everyday
the mic on the course is LEGIT - love this format for videos - also, i'm frustrated with myself for not doing the things I know I need to be doing...stuck in a bit of a rut. not to worry - life goes on and it's a beautiful thing
Having the mic on you during your shots is LEGENDARY man, hearing your thought process as you play is so helpful. This poor canuck can't play right now but can't wait until the spring to focus on being a playa and playing smart golf
I love these videos dude, I legit am reliving my last years struggles in this Video.... Didn't play much, always had this feeling of "I could have a good round if just..." until I had to move back to Germany from Hong Kong in August and then buckled down for a few weeks, took some lessons and always went back and forth between home office and golf course. Went from 7.1 to 2.0 this year with my first under par round.... All it took was the coach to tell me how to eliminate my bad shots (dipping too much on bad rhythm shots) and my confidence and commitment absolutely skyrocketed... By the way, at 13:35 the real obstacle is the front bunker, left bunker has plenty of green to play with and you're a good player! Play whatever gets you to carry that bunker safely with your preferred curve. No cute irons anymore either, a hard punch 7 would beautifully fly around that front side bunker away from the left bunker.
wadda backnine! no tuba needed on those! lovely to watch boyfriends play this fantastic game while lockdown keeps our courses in northern germany shut! new mic is great. best youtuba ever! thanks&cheers
Love the use of the mic, Matt. Awesome touch. And one other note. You’ve always preached the same methods and always conveyed the same content style in your videos unlike other channels that throw in all this extra fluff for viewership and what not. Keep it up playa! Good shit!
I don't have sponsors, I don't have corporate behind me. I do what i like and if someone else likes it, I am happy. If someone learns something that changes their game, im happier. This si the real shit.
I feel you playa. It is a weird feeling to deal with when you say you are going to do something and end up not doing it. Keep your head up man and keep making great videos!!!
I love your positive attitude. You’ve helped me approach golf with a zen-like attitude and it has helped me tremendously. Thank you for your positive videos 🙏
You described my life Matt. Tell myself each night that I will go and practice something. Get up, lost the energy, don’t bother. Waste the day, eat lots, feel tired, head to bed. Tell myself I will do something following day, get up at 3.30 to pee, wake up tired, loss of enthusiasm and repeat the process...
@@GolfSidekick I've been waiting on that since you posted it a few weeks ago!.....like you told me, the queue is long .......we need to see it real soon playa!
I love your channel! Your inner game outspoken is so true! By the way, yesterday I planted a feather for birdie the first time! The shot was so committed! It turned out as a par. But wadda shot! Greetings from Germany!
Adding the mic and providing commentary before the shot and after shot is a game changer. Like the stock market, I would invest in the Baus that is Matt of Golf Sidekick.
Hi Matt - thanks for putting up part 2 - i needed to see the end !!! - 2 people at my club liked my Waddaplaya shirts - i have told them where to get them ! looking forward to the day i qualify for the GOLD !!!!!
Love getting into your head during these course vlogs, Matt! I had a very similar round a couple of months ago. 5 over on the front, -1 on the back for a 76! Now that was from the regular men's tees, but still on a longish course for me, and those are the appropriate tees for my length. And it was my first time breaking 80 on that course. I think I just kind of loosened up, thinking the round was basically blown and I was just going to have fun and make some smooth, controlled swings. Also, just wait for your 40s. Then you get to pee at 2AM, 4AM, 6AM....
off the fairway in the trees with funny lies, back and forth across the green, in the bunkers, etc. Fun to watch a good golfer think through these shots since this is where I find myself.
what an interesting insight. These videos really are a treat. Felt like you were speaking directly to me with some of the self-reflection; we're dealing with many of the same struggles playa
I love your videos. I started golf six months ago at age 36 and I'm obsessed and I can't believe how frustrated I get when I can't break 100 sometimes. I just get so upset. This sport angers me. I'm a beast on the range but a cub on the hole.
@@GolfSidekick it looks better than the dessert of SE New Mexico. The you tubers of SE Asia like you and Gen are fun to watch and I’ve learned a lot as you and your friends have your struggles and victories...whataplaya!
I wish I had one. I hate the gym so I hired a prsonal trainer which forced me to go but I get amnesia after the gym because I hate it so much that I don't remember anything - the trainer just tells me where to go, where to stand, what to do. I do it, then I GTFO
Thinking far more about the positives rather than negatives and what could go wrong when talking to yourself/us. 14:20 sums it up! So jealous of that 2 iron striking off the tee too! Am going to find it tough to watch you for the next month or two though chief, Mr Boris (our PM) said yesterday all courses and ranges to shut immediately, possibly lasting well into March, and seeing you playing these stunning courses is going to make me so envious! But ill try my best to stay committed! 😂 Waddaplaya. NOODLES! 👍
Boris has nothing to do with it. He is taking orders. 6 weeks to work on the mental game. You can do a lot toward your game just by thinking more about it. Find your trends, your usual mental mistakes. Make plans to thwart your self sabotage. It's perfect for lockdown times.
@@GolfSidekick thanks for the tips! Tbh, the mental side of my game I'd say is pretty good nowadays since watching you! I just dont get to play or practice enough to seriously improve, wife and little-un at home! But, I'm cool with that and just love playing the game with the boysies whenever we do have the chance, and appreciate it that much more precisely because it's less frequent. When im a white fox I'll be out multiple times a week I'm sure!
I'm gonna keep commenting until I get a free divot repair tool. But nonetheless, loving the videos. Shot 83 today from a previous round score of 89 after changing my mindset after watching your way of the playaaaaaaaaaa videos. Thanks chom
Stick with the swing changes, don't get frustrated. you're on the right path. I think lots of us are plagued by the misconceptions of golf. She can be a cruel mistress and at other time a golden goddess. Stay the course and you'll be playing your best golf soon. God speed and swing speed playa in chief.
Hey Matt, thought of a novel concept you could try if you wouldn’t mind hearing it. So the idea is a choose your own adventure golf round. Where throughout the round viewers could decide where to aim, what club to use, or whatever. No more than two options at a time. You film both shots and play from both. You could do this like once per hole so people can interact. Whichever they choose you could pin the time stamp and jump to it based on their selection. It might make the video too long but I think it could up the engagement as well as make for a cool idea. Anyway great content. Will
I liked the commentary, was a nice change having the "voice in the head" commentary. That 12th hole was stunning! Liked your Thai numbers. Need to polish the pronunciation of 150 XD
Yes on hitting that 3 wood if it is only a 6-8 yard difference. Excellent video. I actually pull these videos up on my iPad and sit down for that extended 4 AM pee.
You'll see in my next few videos, the longer club softer swing doesnt suit my style. It really made a huge difference to just acceot that. Some people it definitely is what they need, but my style is aggressive - unless I practice a lot then I can do the smoothness
awesome score bruh ...77 ....esp that birdie at 17 ...saw Woods birdie that hole in 2000 ...I liked yours better ..sandy birdies deserve special recognition
Matt, check your shoulder alignment at setup. When you hit that big loopy fade your right shoulder looks pressed forward. Just an observation, love the content. Cheers!
"feeling powerful, just had a 2nd hotdog" - pretty sure I heard Tiger say that at the start of the back 9 on Sunday at Augusta in 2019
Lmao did he actually say that or did the joke fly over my head?
I think Tiger also made a comment about how he was glad he didn't have to pee at 4 in the morning!🤣
Matt has won the internet today with that.
I’m feeling like He-man, just ate an entire casserole
The whole channel is based on Tiger's philosophies- Ho's and Hot Dogs
Matt, your best video ever. Hearing what you’re thinking, planning, analyzing, from hole to hole is very helpful in learning how to manage a round. Do more of those.

„First step to commitment is eliminating doubt.“ - awesome.
Halfway bevvie definitely helped straighten out the putting lines 🤪
Alignment aid.
A beer can do wonders. Seeing planted feathers all over Randpark lately 😀. Lots of birdies obs
A vid on how beve's can help or hurt your game would be really interesting and entertaining. Finding that playa balance...
@@blindsquirrelly it definitely helps get rid of pre round tension

purely procrastination which builds up to the point of like WTF DO SOMETHING MAN! So now plan s are being acted on and it feeelssss gooooddddd
"Eat too much, drink too much, sleep, wake up, pee at 4 in the morning" 🤣 story of my life!
So sweet having you miked up! Great listening to the commentary as you play.
Don’t get so down on yourself, your work life balance looks great for many of us. Be grateful for the life you have. Enjoy your videos
