    So, I watched this video, started reading those books - and shot a 71, -1 today. For perspective, I just broke 80 first time like a month ago. WTF!! Thank you @Golf Sidekick !!

    Such an effortless swing. Your ball striking is class. I started playing in February after almost 8 years away from the game and through the way of the playa I'm sub 100 the past 2 rounds. It's coming back 🤞🏼

    Thank you Lord Golf Sidekick. Rotellas books have been amazing for me. I always shoot lower the first round out after re reading. The advice is simple and actionable, and gets me away from thinking about mechanics on the course. Much more useful to me than a RUclips rabbit hole! Great advice as usual, playa.

    This was by far the straightest and most consistent you’ve ever hit it on this channel. Might want to give your hitting 14/18 and those couple green under regulations credit for your score. Putting and chipping got you in the most trouble and your tee shots never lost you a stroke. I mean only one bogey is still outstanding , I don’t want to sound too negative. Congrats playa!!

      @@GolfSidekick great video. Bob Rotella is definitely "swimming in the deep end of the pool" compared to his peers. Over the past month or so, my putting has become lethal. Got fitted for a Bettinardi, worked on alignment, practicing putting a couple of times a week, and I'm making putts. Not trying to make as many puts over 20 feet, just getting it to 4-5, knock it in, and GTFO. I'm going to try this mindset when I play this Tuesday and Thursday. Mantra, "I'm the Picasso of putting, and the green is my canvas.", and not get hung up on getting to the green. I will report back, sir.

    Tuesday mornings are for tranquility. I love those earliest possible tee times...nothing but the sunrise, morning mist, and a few wild animals with you on the course. It makes a game that can be frustrating sometimes seem quite peaceful.

    I liked the voice-over. Great video! I've been doing heads-up putting since last season. It allows me to feel more athletic with putting instead of being so cerebral. I simply pick a spot, look at it, and stroke the ball. My distance putting has improved dramatically. I don't even care a ton if I hole long putts. I just like that it leaves me tap-in pars when I don't make the birdie putt.

    Commenting on this video cuz it was the first in my suggested feed, told you I broke 90 the other day for the first time in years, 2 birdies in the round and 6 straight fairways found on the back 9. Well playa in chief today I shot a 58 over 9… what a life! We were ridiculously rushed tho since they had an event going on and had terrible planning, so I got 2 free rounds out of it anyway, but the difference in stress free golf is INSANE. The other day I broke the course down into 3’s, didn’t care, and played my game, went amazing. Today being rushed, not having time for a routine, feeling the pressure, couldn’t have gone worse. We sure do make golf hard for ourselves don’t we! Oh well onto next time where we will for sure be keeping it stress free! I’m trying to be better for letting the bad rounds go since they’re bound to happen as an amateur. Thanks for all your advice Cheif, even tho it doesn’t always go our way we can still try!

  • @eketelon
    @eketelon 2 года назад +2

    Your description of choking is EXACTLY what I was going through just yesterday. I had 4 straight pars in a row and some of them were quite long to make and really not likely to drop but did. I was confident enough in them that I went for them and on the ones I was less confident about, my "auto-pilot" putting still worked and they dropped! I was thinking "uh oh, could this be it, am I gonna get my PR?". That was the beginning of the choking. The very next hole was a bogey, then a par, then double-bogey. Point is, you explained the process well and thanks for assuring me that I'm not the only one that does it. BTW, I still got to my lowest score ever!

    I’m really enjoying your videos. Thank you so much. I drive a fuel truck all day and listen to your videos and watch while I’m dropping. I’ve been out of golf for a couple years and have recently got back. I had my handicap down to a 5 two years ago and I did that by exactly what you’re teaching. I have watched and listed to bobs books. I played in a summer league, never hit a driver one time and ended up in the championship loosing to my buddy by 2 shots. Fairways and greens do work. !!! Most of the guys I played against in the league would ridicule me for not playing driver and couldn’t understand…. They didn’t make it to the championship. Cheers.

I set myself a 2 year challenge to go from 100++ to breaking 80. I was reticent to write to you before until my game had improved somewhat...but I'd love to join you for a round if you're ever in Phuket. I hope to hear back from you soon, Mat. Thanks.

    @duffer0309 2 года назад

    Matt watched this 2 days ago. Shot 78 on the front today, started with no swing and went bogie, bogie. Told myself that I can come back from a poor start. Finished the 9 with a bogie and then had a mental lapse and hit a terrible putt on 10, another bogie. Played one under the next 8 and shot my lowest score in about 2 years. I don’t think I would have made it without watching this video. Even though I knew the score I played each shot. I’ve developed a slightly different approach to putting. I line the ball up and when I get over the ball, I say yo myself, “see the line, be the line”. So instead of having doubt about the line, I’m accepting I’ve made the right decision. (I have no depth perception so this is difficult). The other thing I’ve done last couple of rounds is trying not to over read putts. I want to think that there had to be a break on every putt. Today I played 2 8 ft putts as straight putts and made them both.

  • @dontpanic716
    @dontpanic716 2 года назад

    Tuesday mornings are for stress free putting.
    This year I committed to putting while looking at the hole for all putts outside a few feet, as my issue was always pace and hitting it too short. And I said I would stick with it all year, no waffling or bailing on it mid round. The last few rounds I am seeing my birdie average go up and i am making longer putts.
    I noticed on longer putts its a bit hard to look all the way to the hole. I will look into the 5 foot thing. I have been meaning to read putting out of your mind. I read his other book.
    Very nice round. I am happy to see you putting in a similar way as I have been. Makes me even more confident it doing it that way.

I’ve been watching your vids and a few other channels and hitting long and straight, scoring mid 80’s to 90. And I have a bad left shoulder and bad right knee. Walking the course carrying my bag too. I am all in!! My goal is to get a few rounds in the 70’s before the season here is over.

    @seanhawkins9387 2 года назад

    Ive had trouble with my putting after coming back from injuries main,y due to a loss of feel and technique. My coach got my technique sorted but what’s really helped me has been Rotella’s Putting Out of Your Mind. Mainly due to the same thing Lord Sidekick is doing and actually forgetting about the ball. For the last 5-6 months I haven’t looked at the ball when putting and have instead looked at my spot 3 inches in front of the ball. It helped me for the same reasons as Lord Sidekick as once I know my face is lined up I look away and don’t look at stance or face alignment. It has completely freed me up and put all my emphasis on line. It’s the biggest revelation over the past 6 months which has seen the biggest improvement on course.
