Well you have the right basic idea Matty. I am Scottish, started playing golf at 4 years old. Scratch here is probably +2 elsewhere because of the weather. Always avoid rough! Always avoid bunkers! Keep it simple, middle of the green! Putt from around the greens. Keep your chin up, it’s great to be alive 🏴🏌️♂️
It just takes a while to adjust to different types of courses. I've got a friend who moved from Scotland to the US and it took him a year to get back to shooting in the 70s here because shots that in Scotland are punished by rolling into rough are lost balls in the forest here because our rough doesn't catch the ball as much. When we'd go to a "links style" course, he'd tear it up. He eventually learned to hit the ball high.
I am taking a trip to Scotland next week. Keep it simple is probably the best advice I've gotten
Chin up playa… just enjoy being out there!
Best advice I really need to follow when not playing well “it’s important to make sure the guys you are playing with have a great time” I need to pay more attention to this.
My dad always says no one is gonna remember the score you shot but they will remember how you acted when you shot it.
I'm frae Scotland and the bit I love the most is after the winter grind when you've been playing in the cold/snow/rain for months, but then the weather improves and it all feels so easy in comparison!!
This video shows why this is my favorite golf channel and why I look for new Matt content every morning before I get out of bed. This guy is HONEST about his game and sharing this is something most of us wouldn’t do. Even guys with way better than average ball striking/club head speed, and short-game like Matt have rounds like this. This reminds me that these things do happen, but there is always tomorrow. He is the playa-in-chief!
Am loving this !!! I had 6 years of playing in Thailand and came back to Scotland to find out I was actually shite at golf. Went from 8 to right up to god knows what.
The temperature is a big factor. You just cannot get loose enough and keep on getting tighter and more worked up.
This is also one of the reasons Scottish people swear so much and would describe you as a Fanny.
😂😂
Played last week on a 2-day trip. Played really well on day 1. Had a terrible night’s sleep and completely had no touch on day 2. Played a few days later and shot my lowest round of the year. I totally relate to this video. All you can do is laugh. Golf is a crazy ride.
@@chrislaing8444 mood and sleep are definitely massive factors!! I shot my lowest round ever last year, after returning from a nice relaxing holiday in Portugal. Then 2 weeks later, after going back to work and doing some night shifts, put 20 strokes on that. You are right, you have to just try and laugh and enjoy the rollercoaster 😂
Thanks for making this video Matty. Today I shot a 97 (10 handicap) and I was pretty upset, honestly wanted to give up all afternoon. It was 40 degrees F, wind blowing hard, raining, and the rough on the course was so thick I was constantly losing balls in plain sight. I hate swinging in multiple layers. My swing gets restricted and releasing the club becomes very clumsy. I'm just glad I'm not alone, although I really am considering not hitting the course as much as we get closer to Winter. I've had a personal goal of hitting a 300 yard drive for almost two years, I think it's a good time to just focus on pure strength.
this is what i have to show my buddies. im a 7 handicap.. but i have rounds that just dont go well. My game is off and then i look like im crazy.
Well done Matty - Scottish golf is tough. The cold and the heavier conditions mean yardages are less favourable particularly somewhere like Gleneagles. It is one of the most beautiful settings in the world to play golf though so if you aren't at your best you can always enjoy the vistas.
Golf is a crazy game.
It’s all about perspective. I’m a 37 handicap, and yes, I’m serious. I’ve played 18 rounds this year, since July, and I love the game.
To shoot in the high 80’s on a course like this would be the greatest day of my golfing life.
Felt like garbage to you. 😂
Unbelievably, there are playas out there at their current spot in the journey who would trade me for my crappy game!
As you know, it gets better, and it’s never really that bad if you’re playing and getting more experiences.
8 degrees isn't cold ya big Jessy lol.
I really liked the angle of this shot 9:47. Thanks for the video!
Feel for you pal, now you know why we drink!
Love the videos Matty. It shows that temp, clothing, sleep, new course etc.. impacts playing golf. We’re not robots and have to roll with the punches. Also love the attitude that it’s not all about you and maintaining positive for the groups enjoyment
That looked like some jarring conditions for anyone who is used to paying in shorts and a polo. Thanks for posting this video. Stay sharp, playa!
This reminds me. I played knebworth in Hertfordshire recently . One of my playing partners was saying that he had a hcp of 6 whilst being a member there. My hcp is 14 but I play a barkway, a longer and windier course. Knebworth has no rough to speak of and very generous fairways and so I was able to take him to the cleaners. Your hcp reflects your game at your optimum under the conditions you play. knebworth is a lovely and friendly track. I wish I could afford to be a member there as I’d think that I would be a single digit golfer too!
“My hands will fall off…..”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My god, you made it to what is practically my back garden! Great to see you in Scotland. 🙂 The Kings doesn't take any prisoners.
Really enjoyable video. A huge difference between golf in the cold chill of Scotland and the humidity of Thailand. Well done buddy and looking forward to the next videos 🇹🇭👍
I had sleep apnea for decades and didn't know it. After getting a CPAP machine it changed my life. Lack of sleep is truly very bad in so many ways. Give yourself a break. and for anyone with sleep problems, get treated! there are great treatments out there.
Almost an eagle with an audience.. what a showman! :-)
a bad sleep is the worst! the last two times i have travelled to play golf (vegas and florida) i have had horrid sleeps in the places i stayed. that just sets you up for the potential of a bad round, especially if you're tee time is early. i hate early tee times!! i am headed back to vegas in a few weeks so i hope this years bed/pillow combo is better than last year. i hope you get better sleeps too!! greets from canada
I do want to thank you for the inspiring Coldplay ripoff music. It's just what I needed.
Seriously, I feel your pain. Every time I really look forward to a nice golf outing (something other than the usual home course rounds) I play like shyza. Golf can really deflate a man. I used to think the "mental game" aspect of golf I heard everyone talking about was for the tour pros and their psychologists, but I now realize it is MOSTLY mental. If you're not in the right frame of mind or you're thinking about something else, it's going to be Whoopi Goldberg out there.
Hey Matt, what a surprise to see your face in Today’s Golfer! The Bad Golfer seems to have enjoy playing with you..
Reaches rock bottom enthusiasm.
-Cold play music plays.
8 degrees? That's it Playa - that's the height of summer up there. If you didn't see the sun it only appears 3 days a year 😂😂😂
What a random yet delightful anecdote about the hotel alarm.
Fair dues to you for sticking with that one Matty, no fun being out in the cold and the wind and the rain if you are used to playing in the warmth.
And you are not alone, sleep deprivation causes me the exact same gray humour you described. Press on regardless!!
Also you played some class shots there. Chin up!!
Glad it wasn't windy for you. Most of GB & Ireland can be brutal.
Tough day out there. I appreciate you posting rounds like that. Im sure you’d rather not. Achieving goals requires overcoming adversity. Can’t wait to see the next one.
I'm currently playing a HC around 16... I don't HAVE an A-Game! LOL. It looks like a beautiful course, though, even if it was colder than you'd planned for. The greens really seem challenging (I don't remember seeing you hit so many 3-putts)! Remember, for many of us playas, our mid 30s are "the good old days" that we reminisce about... getting old sucks, but remember that it's a privilege not granted everyone. Being tired makes concentrating and maintaining a good mood difficult, but sadly, there's not much you can do about either on the course but to keep that in mind and try to stay positive; you've advised us about judging distances as the course goes on and concentration is the same- focus decreases over time.
Keep pushing Matt. Love your honesty and spirit
It’s always Caffeine and Monster before golf. Bit energy for the round, great caffeine crash after the round 😂
The last time I played that course in a 3-4 club wind and one of the worst hangovers I can ever remember having been up until 5am drinking whisky at Cameron House the night before! 😂
😂😂
Could’ve been worse. You could have been sober! 🤣
You gotta go out there with a sweat. Go in cold, come out cold. Also Tiger Balm is recommended.
Fantastic video ,welcome to most golfers world, so look forward to a round and then implode 😂😂
You have definitely got to prepare for a round of golf in Scotland, layers of light clothes, probably shorts are better even in the rain. Winter golf gloves are a must , one for each hand.
I think you may be spoilt in your golfing career, playing target golf in warm weather.
I do hope you start to enjoy your time golfing in Scotland, there’s more to golf than easy birdies etc.
Please keep your spirits up, I love watching your videos ⛳️⛳️🏴🏴
In a round like this I feel it's very important to focus on the positives, and as you said, you realy hit some very good approach shots. We take the good and move on, know that we can do better and next day come back stronger. External factors like cold and sleep are going to affect and limit our ability to play to the best of our potential, but we take our own singular peaks in these situations. Awesome approach shots mate.
Tuff stuff. It is comforting to see you’re human ❤
8 deg is still shorts weather! 😂
Sucks when nothing is going right on the course. And yes, no sleep fucks me up as well:(
It hurts when these rounds become reality while on the course. Keep it up brotha! Love this channel and love your honesty 🤘🏼
Interesting comment about the impact of turf. I live in North Texas but visited England in April. Immediately I was taking beaver-tail divots and striping the ball like never before. Come back to Texas and the slightest fatness is penalized by the clay/dark-soil turf with very short Bermuda grass. Turf definitely affects course-to-course differentiation for the individual that course ratings don’t necessarily take into account.
Exactly. Only seasoned well traveled holders like ourselves will ever understand. Most don’t leave their home town playa
Matt, I'm a sports scientist, and both those things: no sleep and not feeling comfortable with your movement weigh heavily on performance. I hate feeling constricted. I started using a gilet/vest because my range of movement feels better than with a golf winter jacket. As for sleep - not too much can you do when the fire alarm goes off. However, I have had my international-level athletes use autogenic training, progressive muscle relaxation, or guided meditation to get to deep sleep quicker if they have problems sleeping. Good luck on the tour.
😂 your playing partner has a T-shirt on💪
We had an unusually cold July and August this year in Scotland. It was roasting in June. The last few years it's been pretty warm in August. So it was nice in a way that it was a bit cooler.
I feel you on the exhaustion front. I had a chance to play the Old Course about 4 years ago, but it would have been with 4 hours of sleep and it feeling like midnight my time. I love the game and it's a dream to play that course, but not under those circumstances. There's just no way I could have enjoyed that round.
10:34 funny I have this thought all the time!
Feel for you Matty Boom Boom. Everyone has those days. The good news is this round won’t be in the 8 of the twenty rounds counted toward your handicap and you were playing a great course in Scotland. You obviously know the outcome of the next 18 rounds, but I’m sure there is improvement in sight!
I want to finally see you play some good golf on this trip. 5.2 handicap.
I've seen the Gleneagles resort before on the BadGolf channel.
Just an amazing property.
I was going to say, looks like some great weather but then it started raining , haha
Maybe the sacred lectures playing in the background would have taken u out of the negative death spiral. I hear u everyday when I’m playing❤
always appreciate the full rounds you post. tbh other groups i feel like even though they are saying they are showign the full rounds i feel there is some serious doctoring involved as most players are in the same 5 - +3 handicap range but somehow certain players only have rounds go live that are 70 or better except for in their tournament rounds. appreciate the honesty of the homie
Redemption from the trump round mate, well done for slugging it out, we Brits play in generally cold/rainy/shit conditions like this all year round!
Sleep doesn’t affect me much, but wearing layers makes it impossible for me to play/swing. When playing in cold weather, I usually wear a coat until it’s my shot, then I take the coat off just for the shot.
But yeah, I am also a fair weather golfer!!
Keep grinding playa , i think i said on your insta that the U.K sorts the men from the boys !
I struggled through a round in the rain on that course. It looks nice as you can see, but blind shots plus cool and wet conditions is a tough combo.
Also, tilting after 2 rounds out of 20 is like giving up 10% in. Doesn't matter if you have a bad driver, plenty of time to turn it around.
For me cold weather and rain a absolutely ruin my golf if I am playing terrible. I hate being wet and cold while duffing and shanking it.
1:10 what a line
Yeps a tester for sire this round. Hope the sleep will have done it's magic for the next round. 💪🏻😎🤘🏻
i relate very closely to everything in this video. i work nights and sleep poorly all the time... and i struggle on the course regularly with it. its mentally very tough and i'm sure hard for people to believe my hcp when i hack my way around... you held it together well matt
That Cart Rocks The Golf World! 😃
Idk if my 3.2 is going to hold up... just like the next shot, there is always hope....
Dang , you really felt that down during this round? That's tough. Hope you get comfortable with the cold during your trip!
Well done persevering
Tough in Scotland
I’m at Highlands tomorrow Chiangmai getting cooler
Much better place to play golf!
Might see you there one day?!
Links giving u licks! :D
Enjoy it buddy
All good bro, matter of perspective really....i played +12 on the front 9 of local course and would be happy+15 for 18!....it will come back to you, enjoy the vids:)
Good grind Matty! I'm not sure because you didn't mention it, but did you have a poor night's sleep before this round? 😉
damn I thought you were like 28-29 man, keep up the good play though!
Playing partner is in short sleeves, but you are in multiple layers. I know you came from warmer climate, but you have to lose the coats. Merino wool and a good vest with the ski cap will do it.
Matt you need to get some under armor cold gear. Dress in layers and maintain mobility.
Great video 👍
What are those trousers they look nice ?
You ever try 3 beers at the turn that always improves my mood
That happens at trump aberden
Suck it up playa! You may be hitting poor shots, but you're hitting poor shots on a course most people can only dream of playing, on a golf trip few people could ever experience. Get your head in the game Matty I want to see you get to scratch in Scotland!
Fuck me playa,that’s a shocker….never expected the Chief Rocka to hit it like that😮😮😮 Keep grinding fella,you’ll get the hang of it soon…quick tip,get a set of skins to keep the heat in and you’ll not need as many layers…big ups you bollox ya!!😂😂
Playa I was just talking with my wife last night about how poor or little sleep completely changes me as a person. I haven't figured out a way to get beyond it, even though I'm fully aware. Nothing seems to help besides sleep. Toss those shitty conditions in and good luck.
Don't do our mans like this, brother nature...time to invest in a heated grip kickstarter. I believe in the comeback arc!
Hang in there playa....don't get down on yourself...😊
22° warmer in Freedom degrees?
Nice to know you’re human, playa! That’s a sandbagger
round im familiar with.
Cold and rain. Not exactly enjoyable weather for golf but good on you for playing anyway.
I hear you got a discount code for swing tweaks.
The other guy in black short shirt make me think the weather temperature was really cold or just below 20 is considered as very cold in Thailand standard.
Poor sleep, and cold + conditions you’re not used to = a tough time on the course. Stay loose Matty, you’ll be fine.
Never despair. And get some hot hands.
I was listening to that audiobook after glen eagles for the rest of the trip.
Notice everyone else in shorts and shirts 😂😂😂
Incredible looking course! But yea this is big boy golf. Its no laid back Thai resort.
(royalty free coldplay ripoff music playing) lmao
Shizer!! 😂😂
It‘s just one step from hubris to hybrid
My dream is to one day wait in the singles line overnight for a time at the Old Course. I dont know how much I might like it on the actual cold night. But still one day...
3.3
Hcap index 9.4 after your 20 rounds
That was a tired swing.
Scotland, the home of golf, and you're dressed to go snow skiing. Lack of sleep and f-ing cold, you did well. The pros NEVER play in this. 🙂
Cold, wet and tired is no way to play a round. Sometimes it's just as fine to grab a seat in the clubhouse and _watch_ someone else play.
That course looks hard af. Greens especially. No shame in some of that downheartedness. It's not all Guns n' Roses out here.
That shot at 7:59 makes it worth it though.
Your voice on the voiceover sounds like a complete different person
Waddaplaya struggles..... Get some rest and get back at it!!

Playing on lack of sleep is awful. Mental mistakes come fast and furious. Reading putts is impossible. The only thing you can do is grin and bear it. The next round will be a breeze, though
