    As many middle aged golf nuts, I've watched many videos from different 'tubers'. But none IMHO really discuss course management - it's all about golf equipment or swing mechanics. When in fact what you show us is how to think about the course, see the opportunities and understand your best approach is the way to improve your score better. You've helped me think deeply and properly about my game and how to use my modest skills to improve my scores and enjoyment of golf. Thank you. Keep up the excellent content. And I tell all my friends to watch you.

      These videos are golden. Your swing and feels will come and go. You need to make sure you’re adapting your strategy along the way, otherwise you’ll keep expecting yourself to do shot’s you simply can’t do. Eradicating unnecessary errors are the fastest way to get better at golf.

  • @frankpeng2448
    @frankpeng2448 Месяц назад +3

    Most of the time, I don't worry about the score. I just play what I envision to be the best shots and take the bogeys and double bogeys, even triple bogeys as they come. This gives me many insights on what to do and not to do. Over time, my scores got better, my techniques got better. I also play more on Pitch & Putt courses to improve the short game. I feel the driving range is only good for warming up, correcting flaws and fine tuning. Then again, hitting off a mat is not realistic. No sure if any of you do the same thing.

      If you struggle with long irons...take a 3 iron only to the range and learn to hit it. All the other irons will feel like wedges! In my youth I struggled to hit anything longer than a 7 iron. In my case I grabbed a 2 iron and hit it until I could draw or fade with it at will...now the longer irons are my favorite clubs. Try it.

      For chipping: 3 Releases (#1 - toe-down bump & run, #2 - Standard, & #3 - Lob {but only for those who have MASTERED #1 & #2).
      For Pitching: 3 stance widths (1, 2, or 3 club heads apart), choose bump-&-run or standard release based on preference and let foot spacing determine the length of back swing. No more clock-position. Just use the same swing w/ SW, GW, PW, & 9I to cover 30-100 yards... It's almost like there is a BAUSE in SE Asia giving out this free advice...

    Hi matt, I have watched many of your videos over the years. I'd like to ask for a special tip, more for the golfers who play near the 6 handicap who struggle with the the hands and swing path consistency and keeping the two within a few degrees of each other. How would you practice? Do you focus fully on swing tempo for a while. Many times getting consistency with my irons would destroy my long irons and driver play and vice versa.

    • @GolfSidekick
      @GolfSidekick  Месяц назад +2

      Difficult to say
      The best is to get checked out by a good coach. Someone can fix this swing thought in 15 minutes instead of letting it create more thoughts.
      Your issue may be something else entirely. But the coach can look holistically and tell you a few drills and ideas in less than an hour

    That easy chip was looking pretty hard

    Toe down chipping is great for tight lies bc it keeps the hosel from digging into the grass and thus hitting less chips fat.

    After going back and watching a lot of earlier videos, your backswing looks shorter. The sound from your irons is a beautiful thing. When did you change the length of your backswing? Are there any of your videos that discuss this change?

    This approach of always planning, selecting shots, taking what the course presents keeps you engaged all the way through. Then golf is a true break away from everything else, good or not so good.
