The problem I have is, most of my clubs cost me shots and aren’t reliable 😂
Preach, Playa… playing back from the green leads to hitting the RIGHT tee shot… driver, 3 wood, 6 iron, whatever.
Matt, let me just say, I found your youtube channel a few months ago and already I found myself getting better. One of the hardest things was my alignment and posture and after reviewing your tips on posture, distance from ball, and alignment for beginners, I found myself striking the ball better than before. I was already golfing in the mid 80s, but now I'm striking the better and longer with more control. Thank you so much!
I’m new to golf ⛳️ I’m 56 years old my driver is my worst nightmare I can’t hit it past 100 yards or on the fairway I’m still trying to learn my yardage on all my clubs don’t think I can hit any club over 150 yards yet. Thank you for all the info you put out on YouTube it helps.
HA! I love Matt-A-Tron, can we have a whole video on course with Matt-A -Tron telling us it's plan? (Matt-A-Tron voice) "Par 4 grab driver, hit driver as it will get me to 30 yards out instead of 100 yards out cuz yardage is everything. Bee boop, SYNTAX error, Beep Boop." Love it Baus!
When “we” realize the LIV tour is a different game and should be ignored completely the better off we will be
I can't remember where I read it, but back in the '90's I read that a good tempo solves a lot of your swing ills. I've found that to be true… tempo is the swing Queen in my opinion, subjugated only to King Impact.
Good info thanks Matt. Being a senior who took up golf late in life, my distances are not that long and tee shots with Driver rarely get me within wedge range. My home course has thick tree lines bordering the fairways, so accuracy beats distance every time. I put a 3 wood back in my bag solely for backup off the tee shots. I cannot reach the trees on some holes with it. I dropped my 5 wood for a 7 wood, mAinly because it was just as long , yet easier to hit off the grass. Getting the ball to my preferred approach distance zone, I have used hybrids 19 and 27 degrees. Then hybrid- irons at 29 and 33 degrees of loft. On our course carry distance dominates total distance, so hybrids work better. My preferred zone from the green is 110- 65 m because I use single length irons; they all feel the same to swing. It is way easier to get the ball to a 45m zone than a favourite distance! I like the decision tree you showed us. I have to force myself to drop the ego and advance towards the target. I use my single length 19 hybrid ( plays like a 22 but lower flight) . I would like you to do a video on decisions to make when the tee or second shot ends up in a less than ideal place please.
robot matt's voice cracks me up. too good. we must avoid that voice for sure.
Hi Matt. Subscriber here. Visiting Bangkok this Aug and wanted to ask if you can give recommendations for golf shopping? Thanks and thanks for the great content always!
After binge watching your videos, especially the chipping stuff, I had sub 50 nine hole rounds for the first time since returning to golf! You’re amazing. Thank you so much!
I’ve been alternating at my home course this year playing back tees or middle tees. I enjoy the mid tees a lot as it encourages me to hit more hybrids/5 irons off the tee to hit to my target approach range. From the back tees it’s a lot more driver/3 wood all day so it keeps me on my toes working on all my clubs
Shot 5 iron off the tee all day this weekend and shot an 80. Stress free is the way of the playa
Hey playa’s go out and get you a 7Wood, I took Matt’s advice and boy it is so easy for me to hit.
I watch a number of vlogs dedicated to technique, but there is only one playa in chief who is teaching the mental game of course strategy! Grip, setup, swing plane… they all are important… you’ve got to hit the damn ball! But how you play the game is far more important, and you are far more dedicated to that goal . Any truly honest player who wants to improve acknowledges that strategy will lower scores far faster than an extra ten yards into OB. Keep up the good work, and thanks very much for your help!
Bro I’m actually in tears😭😭😭 this is sacred knowledge I’ve never seen my strokes drop so fast in less than 5 rounds
I tried this just once and broke 80 the first time this season. Seems obvious to play this way but why don't we do it? Now I've been hammering my 3' putt practice because I missed 3 of them in my round of 78. Great channel! Also looking forward to see Mo play soon here in the US!
Couldn’t agree with this more. Have been struggling to crack 80s in the last year. Hit 82 yesterday and can easily think of 6 strokes I could have saved myself from using this system including a double bogey on 18 when I pulled a driver when I knew it was the wrong club.
Baus Matt!!! Another gem of a video. Appreciate it Playa!! Understanding myself enough to know that I am much more comfortable with a full wedge of any kind, rather a partial shot from anywhere, including fairway, my game changed. My planning changed.. And most importantly, my scores changed. Easy life… And learned it from the Playa in Chief.
Shot a 39 on one of the hardest courses in my county yesterday. Your philosophy has helped me immensely as a sports rager. Thank you sir 🙏
Love this series thanks Baus
can't wait to go back out with this information. 71 on the weekend with a OB on a par three -.- after watching strokes shaved 1 and 2
I absolutely loved this. I have so many arguments with the 'Billy Big Balls' playas on your FB group who endlessly bang on about distance, distance, distance as if nothing else matters and you are Bang On about the dispersion with the driver which is accentuated when you play a windy course. It's not only oob and water which costs you but whacking it into trees, other fairways (blocked) or 6 inches of grass because you hit a vicious duck hook or wafty slice into oblivion. In UK the fairways are like concrete at the moment it is so hot here, so there is an even greater premium on accuracy and a good player will recognise that and ditch Driver and 3-wood for 4-iron, 3-4 hybrid or 5/7 wood knowing that they will get 30 yards of roll anyway.
I have a shot shape of 'Random' I hit it every time!
These strokes shaved videos have resonated with me. I am changing the way I play from ego golf to actual course management. The course I play most often has a few 300-350 Par 4's. I hit driver a long way & in the past I automatically pick this club, smash it & hope for either a putt or a close chip. But I often end up leaking left or right which leaves a challenging second shot under branches or a difficult angle to the green over bunkers. Last time I played I changed tactic on four tee shots – 5 iron three times & 4 hybrid once. I shot a 78. That's not my best score but it was certainly the most stress free. I am sure continually playing this way will enable more consistent shots as I am more relaxed. Great series, thanks.
Hey Matt, another fabulous video; I know they take you a lot of time and effort to produce, they’re definitely helping me 100% and countess other’s, so long may you continue player in chief..
New subscriber here. 8 handicap,but Driver has been a struggle lately. Played nine with only the 3 wood yesterday and shot even. Thanks for the tips playa
These videos are just the best.
Very good advice…really opened up my eyes on the strategy I should be using on the links. Hoping this gets me below 95 this weekend. Only been 99 twice.
