Many people asking why I didn't ride in a cart. Doing that I would have had to set up a tripod for every shot. With a push cart half the trouble is already done and the push cart can get right next to the green.
Ooops,my bad I didn't read this before I posted below. Sorry.
Between the tension of qualifying for a Qualifier”, in hindsight I’m sure you would have chosen a buggy and putting your rain gear in your bag. Thank goodness for rain delay and your rain gear. Well done!
You are in great shape but it looks like you are speed walking and sound out of breath. That can't help anyone's game.
Do you think the result would have been better had you not expended extra energy with the walking?
Seriously, thank you so much for coming to my home course, I mean The Brian’s and everyone in the comments, unbelievable anyway have a good day! And suggestion play Kingsley Club in Traverse City, it’s really good❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Looking at this I personally think it's better that I filmed it myself. Kinda gets more up close and personal. Love to know your thoughts before the next one.
I love the angles. You did a nice job. I think that it’s a lot (maybe too much) for you to do while competing.
The LIV umbrella ☂️!!!
@user-sd6ff8fw7 why don't you just start a YT golf league and put yourself on top of the leaderboard. Base it on how many times you show yourself talking to the camera. Bonus points for club and distance mentions.
When I compeat I just think about what I’m going to do on the next shot
@@krazygamer711 personally my big thing when I play golf if making sure that I put good content on my Livestream.
I do this on my channel every time as I am a small one man show. Videographer, Player, Commentator and Editor!
You can have a camera guy. Don’t even ask and just have them stay outside of ropes slash cart path 🤙🏼
Thanks appreciate you bros. Love your cut series btw.
@@MrShortGame My two favorites, Bryan Bros and Mr. Short Game. Keep at it gentlemen.
@@MrShortGame Maybe we will see you on The Cut Series soon????!!
You legends playing at my home course, brilliant😃
Probably one of the best videos I've seen on the channel. Nerves, emotions, good golf. This is gold. I'd like to see more of this. Thanks for sharing.
Having competed for over 50+ years, with a modicum of success, I have learned having skills and game is not enough for competitive golf. Competitive golf is a totally different world from recreational golf. You mentioned it when you said, you’ll be much better after ten more of these competitive events. Look at Tiger, as legendary as he is, he has trouble playing in tournaments occasionally. You have the game and skills plus you have the golf knowledge to play competitive golf. It will take numerous times playing under competitive pressure to find your comfort zone, stay with it!
Completely agree. In Australia at private clubs, we play tournaments 4 times a week. So the transition from that to higher level tournaments is not as big a jump as you are experiencing. I think 10 times is on the mark
I competed in amateur tournaments in Wisconsin for several years. My 1st state am was at age 27 and two years later I was the No 1 ranked amateur in the state. I lost the Am in sudden death and was third in the state open that year. Was runner-up again in the am a few years later and always made the top ten. The lowest handicap I recall was +4 . Very few people can perform in tournaments like they play on their home course. It's a whole different world. On the other hand I could never be a you tube creator so kudos to MRSG
EQUIPMENT 😮 EQUIPMENT
Matt, this content is awesome! Shows first hand just how dialed in you need to be to shoot under par at a qualifier like this. I think many golfers harbor the notion that "I could play on the Senior Tour if I had my A game"... and you provide the sobering reality that it is tough! Keep working and I'm sure you will get there. Great to see how you have to course manage in your journey to qualify. Love it!
“To learn, grow & improve.” Awesome attitude towards golf and life👍👍👍⛳️
Most relatable video you have ever made. This is why I love competitive golf. Most often the nerves wins but when you got your "A" game, it's awesome
Very enjoyable journey.
I've lost at golf lots and lots of times, and I've learnt that it's as important to play badly well as it is to play well well. You put this across so well in this video, and that makes you a champion of a different (and more pertinent) way for we amateur golfers. It's not ALL about me, whether I win or lose. It's about not being a jerk, mostly. Thank you so much for putting this out there.
“It’s important to play badly”? Did you really mean that?
We all always lose at golf every round, it's just about minimizing the losses haha
I'm impressed on how you make a video, walking the course and creating content while playing competitive golf. That's awesome and I bet it was hard to keep focus. And YES, I would like to see more of these types of videos. Good Luck on the next tournament.
Incredible content, keep these kind of videos coming, it’s great to see someone like you playing in competitions… I wish I could be as balanced as you when things go wrong!!!
Dude! So impressed by you keeping your composure with absolutely horrible conditions. Good on you for not calling it quits after 9. That thought had to have crossed your mind.
Again, kudos on the mental toughness.
Tough start Matt, but so awesome to see. Been waiting years for this content haha! Cleary not your normal game, but you will settle in with more attempts. Way to put yourself out there, thanks for giving us the content! You did not have to film yourself or post this, but this provides a great example of exactly why we love your channel. The optimism, the jokes, the coaching all still present. Thanks for keepin it real!
Yes. Please keep playing these. Don't give up. The passion you displayed was real and inspirational.
Great video many people don't know there is a level you have to play at and more nerves you have to train. This is where it's critical to build a preshot routine.
What legend
@MrShortGame thank you for making this video and posting it. Tournament golf is so much fun. I played my first state qualifier this year, played some of my best golf ever except could not control my adrenaline while putting and a tap would go 20feet. Would love to see a video on how to putt under pressure/with adrenaline. I asked a lot of people for advise before hand and some of the best advice I got was “play it like harbor town” which was really you might not get this opportunity to do something this cool again so enjoy the experience. Another person told me that while your out there, “no one cares how you play other then you” meaning it’s all a mental game and it’s all in your hands, the last bit of advise came from a guy who nearly made it into the PGA but was drafted, “you made it to that point, it means you can play just as well as anyone out on that course, don’t worry if you belong or don’t belong…you are there…have fun and know you can play better then anyone out there.
@11:02 GREAT ADVICE ! Saving this to remind my self.
I get so aggravated at times and often times I stop and remind myself that the game doesn’t put any food on our table. It’s just for fun.
You couldn't be more right! Getting out there and playing tournaments is the best. It can be very humbling but also very rewarding.
Loving the content, private membership videos, these tournament videos, practice/range videos. Everything is great please keep them coming out!
I like the way you heald your composer. It was a pleasure to watch!
Tournament golf to me is controlling your nerves and having fun!
Enjoyed this. Haven't watched much of your content recently but this pulled me in.
Great video! I like the honesty! As a Michigan resident ,I’m surprised it didn’t start hailing.
Kudos Matt. And yes… more please. I feel that this real world type golf stuff is the best content on RUclips.
Love this type of video keep them coming! This really shows how competitive the space is and how difficult it is to get to the highest levels but trying is half the battle and seeing RUclipsrs in events never gets old.
Love this Matt. I wish I had known about it. I live in the Flint area and could have been your caddy/camera man. I've been following you since your California days. At least you would have had a one person gallery with me there. Please, keep trying to make Champions Tour event.
Love it, glad you still working on the goal. I too have the same goal and train/practice daily I hope we run into each other one day.
This is awesome, I was a member at flint golf club for awhile! The course is awesome when the greens are firm and fast
Seemed like every second hole was a par five! Love to see more of this content.
Such a great video! Thank you…very inspiring, learned a lot from your attitude. Good to remember how challenging these new situations are.
There should definitely be more of this. Just last week, I wondered what happened to your journey to the Champions Tour. This is awesome content.
Helpful hearing your thought process because the discomfort and tightness you described is how I feel when I play. Just nerves / pressure i put on myself. And I don’t even play competitively!
I would watch every second of this type of series.
Loved it Matt! I'd love to see more of these. I liked watching your round. And it was super interesting seeing how a qualifier works.
The rain and your nerves will get the best of you sometimes your game is pretty good. You have to try
and play like it is just another day. Nice POV video
Your positivity is infectious! Keep being you!!!
Welcome to Michigan…Flint Golf Club is an old style parkland course that’s pretty tight. Their former pro played on the Champions Tour for a while. Good luck on your journey!
Thanks for playing the qualifier and taking us on the journey....Glad to see you back in competition mode!
I'm currently a learning 56yr old 18handicapper. Joined a club for 1st time ever during covid & my preference is to play the weekly members comps rather than just social so I can play under pressure & improve faster and get my handicap down.
Love your attitude Sometimes all you can do is just advance the ball keep put 1 foot in front the other. You definitely got it together on the back nine
Thank you for filming this. Very impressed with your attitude under pressure. You have the skills needed for this. Keep playing these events and filming.
Matt, you're the best!!! Thanks for sharing your experience with us and please bring us more of these vids. I've been to several Sr. PGA events and would LOVE to see you get into one! Good luck!!!
I love this. We get to see/hear you go through less than pershots.....just like mine.
Yes, more of this. Thank you. Love your attitude, and I think you’ll play better and better.
More of these videos please, and good luck in the future! I tried the mini tours and qualifying route. When they say these guys are good people have no idea! The qualifiers and tournaments I played in the guys were shooting and breaking course records all the time!
That was fun to watch. I appreciate your commentary while in a pressure event. I’d love to see more like this and how you mentally prepare before and during the next event!
Best MSG video in awhile. Loved it please continue.
Love this format. Your golf attitude is amazing
OK you went from playing 130 degrees of high heat in Death Valley to playing in 130 degrees of pressure in wet conditions!
Love it !!!!
Really enjoyed watching that was solid round. Really enjoy watching qualifiers..
I push everything to the right when i feel tense too. I can tell i don't rotate and don't release properly, and yet it's so difficult to overcome even though you know that's the problem.
Matt, you seem like a cool dude and clearly a great golfer. Showing you struggle and the vulnerability makes you even more likable. Love the channel.
Man- you were up in Flint? I would have come up from Ann Arbor to caddy for you. Great vid, Matt. Love this stuff.
Matt, your attitude is infectious and it’s why I subscribed to your channel. IMHO this content makes you more relatable to a lot of us. If you keep doing these comps I’ll keep watching them 💯
Matt that was super good. Your running monologue really portrayed the pressure and nervousness that you were feeling. Filming by yourself gave the "blair witch project vibe" :) Do stay on the tournament trail, most of weekenders never get to experience that level of pressure , most of us pee ourselves playing with strangers ! Bottoms up !
This could be the best series on RUclips! Much love for the content my friend 👏
Love it. Need more of these qualifiers
I love seeing a commitment to "try" especially with someone with a Great Attitude! Refreshing as well as inspirational thank you Sir!
This is awesome! It has to be nerving to film yourself and compete simultaneously! Props to you and this is another reason why you are one of my favorite channels!
Great drop Matt!!! Loved watching the grind and the ups and downs of well competition. Keep up the great work! Ohh and my wife’s family are from Woodstock GA!!! We’re here in SoCal but they just were there last week👊👊
Love this content. Super entertaining seeing you compete and I love your attitude and just kind demeanour. You’re a joy to watch and hope to see more tournament play from you 💪🏼
Yes, would like to see more of this. Was really looking forward to seeing your journey to the PGA. You promised it earlier, didn’t see very many videos, but I’m glad this one’s up now!!! Power on brother!!!
Awesome video Matt!! I would love to see you do more tournament videos. I like the up close and personal bits in between too, great touch. T18 is a great finish!
What a great video. Thanks for publishing. You are exactly right: Be Fun To Play With. If you’re fun to play with, you’re good at golf in my book! ❤
Simple and Short. Yes, do more of these. Its awesome to see you play!
Thanks. Very real & interesting. Showing real struggle of the competition. I will be happy to see a few more videos like that 😊
Good for you to get out there and compete. I just did the same thing a few weeks ago. First competitive round in 32 yrs. had a blast and want to play more. Good bounce back on your round. Looking forward to your next comp.
You did an incredible job of trying to manage the stress of competitive golf, PLUS, film the whole thing (and quite well I might add). Appreciate the transparency, wish you continued success on your journey!
Loved the video, Matt -- and yes, please, more of these!
Really loved this video. I found it really interesting seeing you play in the tournament. You should definitely do more and I am sure it won't take long for your to be successful.
Do more of these please! Love to see golf under pressure and how you will do!
Well done! I enjoyed the one on one videography. I’d love to see you try another qualifier. I was rooting for you. You’ll get it next time. Great job, Matt!
I love this video! Please keep making videos like this. I want to see a lot more of this because you have the golf skills and knowledge to make them great!
Your the "Fonz" of golf, thanks for your hard work and effort to show us all this unique game of golf and it's many courses to play on. Please do a Fonz clip , dressed as the Fonz, playing the first hole , the way you do . Now that would be something to see. Nod UK
"this could morph into a break 80 video"...my kinda golf...😂
This is one of your best videos yet! Keep it up, personally I would love to see more videos like this. Along with the fact that I have not played golf very long and want to start playing in tournaments myself so the info you are giving is really helpful keep up the great work
Love the LIV umbrella 🌂
Really enjoyed this…up close and personal experience…no confessions required..Lol ! Thanks Matt…good job. Cheers from Nova Scotia M.
Loved this video !! You r so much more naturally suited to being on the golf course than behind the desk !!! Thanks for going to the effort !! Was great to see you not give up and pretty much shoot level par after a nervy start .. keep at it !! 💪
Definitely fun watching the thought process of true competitive golf. So many RUclips videos are just too casual or constantly taking the stupid risk. Would love to see some more and hope you play a little better.
You were playing at Warwick Hills country club in grand Blanc, Michigan. Nice job. I live right around the corner from there.
These are the best type of videos playing golf under pressure to make a score you did well to grind it out after that start better to come.
Tournament golf is my favorite. I watch them all. Keep grinding
I'm full of admiration of how you played under a lot of pressure. Your swing rythymn is awesome.
I look forward to your next series of comps as I feel I can learn a lot 👍
Thanks for sharing man, love the competitive aspect, people have no idea how much harder golf is when in competition
Fantastic and the fact you filmed yourself and rebounded your score. Huge.
Love this and love your attitude about it all. Having played for decades and many stroke events, I've seen many a good player wilt in competition. Having to count everything, every lie as it is, putt out, etc. Key for me was doing more competitions. Local events, league play, anything where you have to play like real competition. Nerves? Always there. How you channel the energy is key. Keep at it!
Great video, please do more. I'm a very high handicap but I enjoyed hearing your expectations and learned I need to align myself with realistic expectations
These are excellent Matt. Would enjoy seeing more of these from you.
MrShortGame this video is very relatable to me. I actually started feeling nerves watching this because we have all been in that spot.
Keep it up! I actually just went to the range with your son skye the other day he was in the same homeschooling group with my brother, he told me about your RUclips so it’s been cool to watch and take your tips and apply them to my golf game!
Love the LIV golf umbrella 🎉
Thanx for sharing Matt. Loved it.
Great job, keep at it only a few back and you can make those up pretty easy looking back at your round! I enjoyed watching you play, hope you give it another go! All the best!
Hang in there Matt. Keep on keeping on and the game will be better for the next tournament. Of course we want to see more!!
Really enjoyed that Matt .. best you've put out in a while. Love to see more similar and hopefully you'll conquer the nerves and play good !
Good round man. Tough conditions and agree. Comp golf is a different animal than casual golf, and it’s a learning experience for sure.
Yes please, more of this. 😀. Keep playing, takes courage to show yourself in tournament conditions.
Ah, don't drink the water..
Good Luck, Matt.
Thanks for sharing.
Hell of a video my man! Been following for years!
Ha, had a similar round of golf yesterday myself. 43 front, 34 back. Weird day. Golf is hard. Nice job grinding through it!
