I shot a 78 two weeks ago. I've been an upper 80s golfer for 28 years. This guy is legit helpful.
Shot my best ever, an 84 (par 71), this weekend. Down to a 16.6, best handicap yet. Shot 40 on the back. I've shot 39 on the front before, so now I just have to put those two together.
This advice - dispersion and aim - has really helped. Need to work on my lag putting and I'll be there. Too many three putts from 50-60 feet. I'm working hard on GIOTG. I know what to work on. Thanks Matty Boom Boom.
shot a 76 today at my course......10 handicap......following your guidelines...keep the double off the card
Playa these are the kind of comments that keep me making vids
Stuck off 10 myself and have yet to break 80, what was the most effective technique from this video you noticed in the round?
This is the reason I sub. Nobody else breaks down both physical and mental parts you need for golf. Matty Boom Boom with anotha banga playas
Thanks Ryan. This is the kind of comment that keeps me coming back
PIcking the game up after many years off. A month ago my goal was to break 100. I am now trying to break 80. Your videos are extremely helpful.
I had a decent swing to work with, but eliminating the hero shots, instead hitting the shots that i CAN hit has been a game changer. I am now regularly playing an entire round without losing a single ball, and my scores are so much better.
"Tiger is tiger, phil is phil.... youre shooting 83" 😂😂😂 thats the best shit ive ever heard!
It only hurts because it's true lol
Me, barely breaking 100, an intellectual- watching this video.
Playa, you are on the right path watching our Chief Baus here. No matter the score label for the video, it’s the information which is crucial to our improvement. 👍🏼
Same 😂I have no business watching this video
You are looking into your own future.
@@rik2bits that's what I'm talking about
This comment made me laugh. Bravo
Stay in the process -> emotional control. Gotta rewatch this…more than once. This is gold.
Save it and share the good news playa
This is my goal for the season. Last year it was to break 90 and now I haven’t shot over 90 once this season out of about 4 rounds. My new best is an 85. Short game improvements will clean up a few easy strokes, and the mindset/strategy from this video will take a few off as well 😎
I’ll report back when I break 80 for the first time!
I’m in a pretty similar boat. Let’s do it, brother!
Ha also in a similar boat. But I’ve been in the boat a little longer but I’d say it’s due to my own laziness. Gonna try this and see where we get. Broke 80 only once last year with a 79
I'm the same as you duder, I've been breaking 85 a lot time to become the stick I know I can be
You’re on your way to greatness playa. Love stories like this.
I break 80 a lot, your mindset and plan will get you there very soon if not already!
Golf Sidekick,
You were exactly correct about shaft flex & dispersion.
They fitted me with Regular Flex & ive been right, left, & all over the greens. Today i took my 7 iron to the pga super store and its true.
Switchi g to the stiff shaft shrunk my dispersion by half, the green was covered with balls.
All consistently around the flag and grouped on the green much better than my regular flex iron.
Thank you Golf Sidekick. Youre the man. 79 last week then 84.
This week i feel much more confident that ill be at the flag instead of off right or left pin high all day as usual.
This is excellent success
Brother I wish I could give you a hug. I'm just starting my thirdmonth of golfing and I'm having an absolute blast on the course. I've watched all the breaking certain score barrier videos and while I don't have the skill to execute certain topics (yet!), it's great to learn about how the talented golfers think. Thank you so much for your long-form content; you've taught me how to be analytical while playing! I was always an athlete growing up and through uni- but after I left, there really weren't any adult leagues in my primary sport. Now golf is filling the gap. You're absolutely right, the best part of golf is making new friends. I've already met some great people at local courses and I've been able to utilize golf as a tool to rekindle relationships with old friends. Golf has become a tremendous stress relief as well as an avenue to express my competitiveness- competing against myself. This game has already been incredibly life enriching, and the idea that I'll be able to enjoy it for the next 40 years makes me giddy. Cheers!!!
You’ve got the bug! Good luck and take care of the courses!
@@mangowett9967 yup. Bitten bad. Welcome to the addiction. ⛳️
Playa I put your comment on my stories on instagram.
@@GolfSidekick 🙏🏻 thanks for everything
@@dewey6912Where is your golf game now?
I broke 80 for 1st time last week. I was really helped by great putting on that day. The other thing helping (besides your wise words) is the realization that golf is about consistency, not distance. Rather than go 100% on an 8 iron and hit it 145 yards (I know I'm not long), I'm better off with an easy 7 iron. Because when I go 100% on an 8 iron (or whatever club), I am much more prone to spraying the ball or duffing it. When I go 70 to 80% on a 7 iron instead, it is much more consistent.
I wish i was the same. I feel more comfortable flat out
Regaining the confidence to break 90 is where im at right now getting back into golf just this last month after 3 years away and a bad shoulder injury
I have to say shooting into the low 100s and high 90s isnt stressing me too much because ive always, ever since watching your videos, played "Stress Free Golf".
I enjoy it so much more playing with the mindset your videos have provided
Thanks for all the great content and i was happy to find your videos still up and running all these years later (i quit July 2020 back in the day)
Started watching you to break 100 3 years ago. Never thought I’d be at the point where I’m close to breaking 80. Shot a couple 84: and just shot a 82. Waddalife!
Soon
Used the 666 break 80 system for the first time as a 13 handicap shooting 75 was so good thanks Matt
I had kids a few years ago and my golf became super irregular like 4-5 rounds a year the last few years. I shoot 80-85 super consistently as opposed to having painful mental struggle when I was playing a lot overthinking and tinkering with high expectations. There is something to be said about Matt’s view on enjoying yourself and playing the shots you KNOW you can hit even if it means letting the cool kids hit their drivers every hole while you rock the 4 iron
joy of missing out playa, especially as you reach late 30s and into the 40 years of age

I definitely agree on having a club that's a comfy 175 yardage club. I found it helped me lose a lot of on course anxiety once I got over that hump, every course in my area has a par 3 of that approx yardage 😊
I’ve been waiting for this moment……
Mr. Sidekick, your videos are great. Thank you. A request: We need a video that goes into a deep dive about grass specifically. There's just not a lot of information out there on this topic. And I'm ready to learn more if you're willing.
I’ll do some for tropical grass here in thailand
Then in Europe i will do some cool weather grass later in the year.
It’s very dependent on soil condition and grass type which is different in different combinations in every region. I’ll do my best
Many thanks Matt for your time putting this together. Another outstanding advice video. 👍😊
Matt, can you do a video on warmup routines? Would be great to get your thoughts on putting warmups, swing thoughts on the range, etc. Love your content brother
Hmmm i could but i never do either of those! Coffee and a scheisse and we’re on the first tee
Play most weekends but have only been playing for 3 years never had a lesson my best score was 101 until last weekend where I scored 89 your videos are so helpful
In his other video I loved when the Japanese pro said when asked, what is the difference between a hero shot and a stupid shot? "A hero shot is a stupid shot you make."
Your videos are the best. Thanks for all of them playa.
My great pleasure my man
I watched your video and learned so very much. Today I shot a 79. New record for me. Thank you!
Sidney Brooks
Brilliant breakdown Head Playa. This is fantastic, thank you!!
Thanks bro
Your explanation of equalized distances (by club, not distance) really hit home for me. Thank you for the excellent breakdown!
I just injured my ribs... I have more FOMO for JOMO than ever! Keen to apply some of this thinking when I'm next on course! Reminds me of K.I.S.S. - emphasis on the last S! ;)
Last week I shot an 83. It was a PR and I left the course knowing how many strokes less I coulda been. 2 7s on par 5s.
Both because I tried to hit a 3 wood at the green with danger all around. Could’ve easily hit a safe 7 iron, wedge and 2 putt for par and shot a 79.
Great video, thanks. Hear about DISPERSION, A LOT, but finally someone that got into more of the details about that subject. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Broke 80 a few times recently but need the way of the playa to do it consistently 👌
You’ll smash it playa. I believe in you
Thanks Matt. I’m getting close to breaking 80. I keep scoring sub 40 for front or back but haven’t quite put 2 good 9s together. I think it’s mainly mindset with me. I feel like I have the shots to do it. Just need to stay calm if something goes wrong.
Playa. When do you check that score card?
@@GolfSidekick Hi Matt. Playing partners always count them up halfway round. Which isn’t ideal. But being 13 handicap I kinda know where I’m up to in the back of my mind anyway. Eg weekend I was 4 over going into the 9th. 2 bogies. One double. So I knew I was on for a 39. (Shanked it out of bounds on the 9th) I think higher handicap players can easily ignore the score because there’s more shots to count. I think I just need to use the thinking box a bit longer to stay in the zone. Thanks for all your content. It’s got me to where I am now. 80 is next. But Breaking 80 is way harder than 90! I’ll get there. 🤞🏼
Great value from these teaching VLOGS playa! Thx!!!
No problem playa
Thank you so much, I have been struggling to break 90 some rounds. Took this attitude with another video of going for bogeys. And wow, first round out and shot an 81.. strictly by following your idea of no hero shots and a mindset of okay how do I advance the ball this time. Being a goldfish with bad shots and it turns out it’s not my lack of understanding the game, but rather a poor mental attitude with “blow up holes” thank you for helping me with something I didn’t know I had an issue with
I’ve broken 90 and 85 in 4 rounds with this dudes help. 80s next. From a 19-15 cap just from thinking on the golf course more.
You’re a playa
Long awaited up date. Thanks Baus... can't wait for cold weather gear as well.
Have to try it out in cold weather first
Your shirt, double thickness, longsleeve,=$$.. we play at 48° Freedom, regularly... Thanks Baus.. A.B.P.
Just broke 90 for the first time today on an eds round and directly to the next milestone !
Thanks matt for your videos
Thank you for the video. Sound advice which I will employ to help me break 80. Btw -- something like 4-7% of ALL golfers break 80 (based on my findings on the www). That's crazy! It's important to remember as we set reasonable expectations for ourselves. Having said that, if I am fortunate enough to continue to have the time to practice & play at my current pace, 2023 will be the year that I finally break 80 and improve my overall average! May the force be with me. ⛳
This is your year playa. I believe in you
@@GolfSidekick UPDATE:
I finally did it Mr Golf Swami Sidekick! After putting in a fair amount of work the past couple of years, I shot a 78 last week! 🎉🍻🎉
I kept the concept of dispersion & aim point in mind, along with shot visualization. I also really made a conscious effort to slow
my downswing down -- to the point of almost swinging as easy as I possibly could with my irons. Measured/consistent breathing
also played a huge role I believe, because I shot an even-par 36 on the front nine (shattering my best!), and then proceeded
to bogey 10, 11 & 12 on the back! I kept my shirt on though (measured breathing and positive thoughts) and birdied the number
one handicap 13th hole! (a first!) The back nine was a scramble indeed (which included a double), but I did my best to stay positive and
finished with a birdie on the 18th for a 42 on the back (which is closer to my average).
Regarding your thoughts on having the proper equipment: I coincidentally broke-in a used Vokey 62* M-Grind Wedge with an
8* bounce -- which I believe was dearly needed because I was struggling with tight lies around the greens. It replaced a clunker
60*/12* which was making tight lies even more challenging. Practicing short game 3:1 vs range work was also vital in finally scoring
in the 70's I reckon!
I will remember that golf is indeed a journey, as I continue to strive towards improving my average, while enjoying my time
on the course!
Muchas gracias good Sir for sending out the positive Mojo!
loving the channel bro, keep it up playa!
Thanks sir
Great video. This same line of thinking got me to 0-3HC from 8-10.
So close after watching this, tied my personal best 82 today at my home course, Grande Oaks (home of Caddyshack), but had a triple and 3 doubles. 70-something is in there somewhere.
How did the triples and doubles occur?
A tee shot in the water (pull hook), blade out of a bunker, another pulled tee shot behind a tree and a chunked pitch to an elevated green
BTW Matty - thank you for the channel. 2 years ago I was 25.7 index, today 13.6 thanks to this channel and a local swing coach (and a lot of practice)
OB is my bane. It's almost always off the tee. I'm managing low 90s with 4-6 OB holes that I have to scramble to save bogey. Definitely where the most improvement lies for me.
Gotta stop hitting that club. Easy solution.
Nice use of editing to vary the merch. Excellent no BS this-is-how-it-is stuff.😊
Thanks playa
Now I have you’re bloody voice in my head every round😂 but it works, thanks!
Only played 3 rounds this year(getting bombarded with rain), but all have been under 85 including another 81. It’s happening this year!
That’s truly phenomenal sir
Awesome info! Keep up the good videos!
“Tour players don’t make that shot, you are somebody who is shooting 83” - this cracked me up but also hit home, no champagne shots with lemonade abilities
Great tips dude. Thank you.
My great pleasure.
shot under 80 a few times. lowest score 76 so far.. stuck in that 82-85 range right now. Need to apply and attack.
I managed a 78 a couple of weeks ago with an OB triple on the 16th (The dreaded hook from nowhere- par 3 even)
No special strategy was involved; just hitting good shots instead of duffs.
I will say that, after the 16th, I did my Marty impression- complete with accent- and kept calm to par the final two, even though I dislike both holes.
But it was really no more complicated that hitting the ball straight.
I wish I had a 175 iron shot, but, alas, that's a 5-7 wood for me, or maybe 4h with a trail wind.
matt, im watching this and had been putting alot of practices too. If i brake 80 by year end, ill buy u one round.
You are my golf guru 👍🙏
Broke 90 for the first time yesterday and now I’m here
And that’s how the way of the playa works playa
I shot an 84. Your tips work.
As a 100 breaker, if you shoot for the moon and miss you’ll land among the stars. The stars hopefully being breaking 90 #livelovelaugh
Waddasaying
Not trying to brag buuuut I was the 96th liker...not sure if 96 means scissoring but I do know that bucket/polo combo is dead sexy.
Wow that’s deep playa. Balls deep
Thanks for the video
I shot 80 in 2021 once barely broke 90 a half dozen times. 83 the first round of the year. Knocking on the door
Wow. That’s great news playa keep on keeping on
Sensei @GolfSidekick… I am here to listen and learn!!🔥🔥🔥
Did you hear the good news?
@@GolfSidekick I did. And I always do Baus!! Understanding “lie” is they key to spiritual enlightenment…. Which is nice. Thanks for all the teachings!!
@@GolfSidekick is there other good news? Not sure I can handle it!!
I have a Regular flex driver (hi loft 13 degree driver, jetspeed taylormade)
And i hit is 225-240 consistently (total carry)
In all honesty i assume i should stick to regular shaft and not go stiff? Ive always felt i have a slow swing speed but my buddy keeps saying getting stiff shafts will get me to play better?. I hook/draw drives like crazy. Never slice.
Couple other club averages
3 hybrid - 200 yard
6iron - 165 yard
Is this Regular shaft swing speed distances or stiff shaft?
Thank you for caring
Thank you for watching.
I am very confident that I am capable of shooting < 80 more often. My problem is that I just have random BIG misses that blow up the hole (occasionally el hosel, random chunk, random skull, random top). It happens with all of my clubs. I have a bimodal thing going on where 70% of my shots are good and follow a normal dispersion and 30% just go anywhere. My pro has seen my swing and couldn't understand why I am shooting high 80s. We played a round and it's not strategy or process. He said I just look tense on the course and my swing relies too much on timing. So, we are working on a mechanic change that relies less on timing. I'm also working on breathing to relieve some tension.
Have you ever thought of using music to be less tense?
@@GolfSidekick I haven't, but I do seem to play a little better when playing partners have music. Analytical brain needs to turn off. Getting a good buzz helps, but it's not sustainable for 4-5 hours without other bad side effects.
I do have 2 sets of irons.
On firm days I play my cavity backs probably should get a set of player distance but that’s my firm day clubs because they aren’t as bulky. On the wet softer days I play king cobra transition s hybrid irons my favorite clubs they were made in 2007.
I will say I have a club that I know I can carry 200+ and that’s my 5 wood idk what it is with that club but 200-230 I can feel it and swing according and a club that I know I can carry 175 that’s my 7 iron. Idc if it’s on the green that’s not my concern, if I’m pulling either one of those it’s a club to get me to where I can get up and down.
Really 150 in is the only time I’m thinking I’m going strictly for the green usually not hitting it at a high clip unless it’s a par 3 but that’s ok.
I’m a 5.3 handicap.
That mixed with putting distance control has been the main 3 things that’s changed in my game. Used to be kind of guy that hit a 30 foot putt 10-15 feet (or further) past the hole and would 3-4 putt. Would be insane would be on a 420 yard par 4 hit the ball within pw range get the ball on and absolutely lose myself for a 6-7 because I just hit the ball
Yeaaaaa
My favourite topic ®️
Mine too
I played golf with a 2 handicapper on Saturday. His best shots were honestly not much if any better than mine, but he always chose the right shots. The highlight of the whole round was on a 535m par 5 his drive went off into the trees left. His next shot was just a simple punch out. Then he laid up to get to the green in 4 total shots, he then made a putt from about 3m which is about 10ft. But even if he had missed that he would have had bogie at worst on one of the hardest holes on the course after a shit tee shot.
He sounds like a chill playa
So easy to overlook gros and soyl quality... ⛳️
One question I have is how to stay mentally focused and/or calm when the pace of play is very slow? That’s one of my downfalls
Reframe it. I could be out here all day. I love this place and the people in playing with. Look at that beautiful tree
Ok, now we’re talking.
Here. We. Gooooo
Let's face it, golf very much favors long hitters. Due to advancing age I am shorter with all my clubs than a few years ago. To help compensate I have moved up a tee box to keep things managable. Even from the closer tees several holes are bogey holes because they are simply still too long for me or because there is an obstacle exactly where I would fade my driver, or there is serious trouble either in front of or just to the right of the green (and it is always to the right). Therefore, I often hit 5 wood or 5 hybrid off the tee and have to lay up on some holes that would otherwise be reachable in regulation. Hitting heroic (stupid) shots on these holes leads to triple bogeys. So I avoid such shots and get the ball back in play. When I practice it is mainly putting, chippig and pitching. I have improved greatly in these areas but not enough to offset my lack of distance. This means that I have to be very accurate on the par 3's and the few reachable 4' and 5's. Every year I shoot 82 a few times and every blue moon an 81. But I have yet to crack 80.
Probably moving up one set of tees is in order.
To hell with besting 80. Shining at the local Fat-Shot Tourney matters more than chasing something that ain't gonna happen. Crispy shots with a proper stroke incur a penalty; moving the ball requires what comes natural -- hitting the ball fat, laying sod over the ball. It is difficult to embrace one's personal ineptitude but to win at shi^^y golf that's what is demanded.
The most cardinal sin here playas, is that the bucket MUST match the shirt. Don’t break that rule please. 👍🏼
You just saved me 100$ from Decade! 😂
1. Don't lose the ball. 2. Don't 3 putt. 3. Don't miss the green with a wedge. Do this, and get reasonable distance control on full shots, and double bogeys simply don't exist.
how?
Basically its all about leaving your ego in the car and taking your brain out with you on the course. Its like chess with trees. As Clint Eastwood said "...a man's gotta know his limitations..."
Ego can be left in the car absolutely
@@GolfSidekick Loved the video. Its how I try and play and enjoy the game. Nothing worse than trying to be a hero and regretting a triple bogey...
Love being 1st comment.
Me too
Use math not pride know your clubs yardage and always 2 putt! Never think birdie no hero shots , lay up in trouble and slow and smooth! Nobody puts what club they used
When the student is ready the teacher will present themselves...an old proverb. I think it was Pee Wee Herman who said it.
When my shaft is stiff, it has a lot of bounce, not sure of the loft tho 😂
