    Just played a round by myself yesterday with nobody behind me so had plenty of time to think about each hole influenced a lot by your videos. I ditched driver and 3 wood and used only irons for the entire round and shot a 83 as a 19 handicap. Best round ever so far.

    Hey Matt I really enjoy watching your vids. How about some "behind the scenes" footage, like the club houses of these courses,what they look like and what you have at the halfway house and the accommodation you stay at when you travel to play these courses. That could also be kinda fun to see, either as part of your golf footage video or as an extra separate video about the trip. Thanks my friend.🙏

  • @Anvilarm07
    @Anvilarm07 10 месяцев назад +2

    I am fascinated by your golf psychology. I have a par 4 on my home course which I just can't reach, so I consciously play it as a par 5 and that always makes me feel better about it. (I have a 13 handicap. I think of bogey golf as "par" and then try to beat it. But this year I also shot a 98. LOL) I see you applying psychology that to multiple holes and I realize I have to do the same thing. Also you are a great putter from 5 feet which really helped your score as demonstrated in this round. I am now definitely going to focus on improving my 5 footers.

    • @GolfSidekick

    Your putting is so damn good. I'm also around a scratch but I get off the tee super well. I have a very dependable big power fade that can go around 290 and if a tee doesn't suit my eye I can bang a hard 2 hybrid 260ish down the middle. I get plenty of GIR but man is 1-putting a super rare thing for me and getting up and down is no where near as consistent. I wish I had your putting skills on the green.

    Absurd to have a hole with different par ratings from different tee boxes unless the yardage difference is huge, like 100 yards different. The whole point of a tee box being further back is that the players choosing those boxes hit the ball farther. One would expect a course like Carnoustie to have a better understanding.

    A par 70 rated at 73.6/135 is a beast. To translate: A 10.0 handicapper on a good day (playing to handicap potential) would likely shoot +16.
    Explanation:
    Course is rated at +4
    Player course handicap is +12 (135/113 X 10)
    4 + 12 is +16.
    Even a scratch golfer on a good day would shoot +4. (That is the definition of course rating)
