      quick question... on hole 13, doesn't he get a free drop cuz of the cart path? or was he inside the hazard line?

    • @GolfSidekick
      @GolfSidekick  4 года назад

      He was in the hazard so he would have to do on the slope where the ball would be very far below his feet

    Since finding your channel I broke 100 last year, and broke 90 this year shooting an 88. Last night I shot the best round of my life - 81! - following the process-based way of the playa. This is hands down the best way to bring down scores and stop taking things so seriously. Kudos to you and kudos to me!

    • @romansXIII
      @romansXIII 4 года назад +3

      @@featherfoot614 Yes, the biggest thing was learning to drop the ego shots and set myself for an easy distance to the green. My 8 iron through 50' covers my 140-100 yard range comfortably, so as long as I'm inside 150 yards my confidence levels are high and I can aim for a green in reg. In that last game I scored 8 bogeys, 7 pars, 2 doubles, and 1 sweet sweet birdie. Good luck on your goal.

      Agreed that Matt has really changed the game for me. I’ve went from shooting in the 100s in March to now shooting in the mid to high 80s consistently. I always had the skill just never had the right mentality or knowledge of how to put it all together. Thanks to Matt I’ve really made golf fun for myself and everyone I play with now!

    I struggled to break 100 over the past couple of years but since joining my local golf league my play has improved. Last year I shot under 100 for the first time. This year, prior to watching your videos, I went out with the mindset to play that my goal was to play bogey golf. How cool to see you teaching golfers to set a "new par" based on their skill level. This year I've been under 100 three times, with my personal best 47/46 coming just a couple of weeks ago. Last week, with no birdies and no pars, I shot 98. Shooting under 100 with no birdies or pars came out of pushing past a blow up hole. My putter was not nearly as hot as the previous week when I shot 93. Shooting under 90 is something I can visualize as a reality now. I really appreciate your videos!

I got a big boy game this Friday I'm surely to be WOTP and hoping to also break 90 on a course I've never played!! I feel good, just have to get some sleep the night before as I tend to get VERY excited!!!! On my home course I've never played better or more consistent, can I take it to a road course? Let's hope!! Great stuff Playa In Chief!!!

    Matt, want to thank you for your guide to playing golf. I can’t believe the difference it’s made to my game an attitude. Today, needed par on 18th hole to shoot even par for the round (for 2nd time this year) and dunked my approach shot in the water. In the past best I would have done after that would have been a double. I said to myself, next shot can be the best shot of your life, hit my lob wedge to about 8 feet above the hole and drained the putt for a bogie. Even though it was not shooting even par, I walked off the green like I did! Thanks for your passion and sharing it with us.

    So cool to see how excited you get for JMac. Makes me so excited for my family golf trip next weekend. I don’t get to golf with many people these days and get to experience that feeling of joy over someone else hitting a fantastic series of shots. All have moved out of state, off to school, got family duties, etc. etc. And my home course is very chill - not many people on the course which I love! But it also is a bummer cause you don’t get to experience rounds with other people as frequently as other courses I’ve been to.

    You just can’t replicate the feeling of hitting a well thought out pure approach shot.

    On the 16th when Jbone hit his 52. He hit it straight where he was aiming. Left. Just a little note to aim the club to the hole before you start players💪🏼

    you should write a book/guide on your golf philosophy or a collection/series of short stories about the way of the playa.
