I had given up on golf after 20 years in the low 90's. Then one day I came across Golf Sidekick youtube channel. Newly inspired, I got a lesson from my local pro, have been playing more regularly and focused on having fun! I am now regularly in the mid 70's and consider myself a proud "Playa". Thanks my friend! Keep on giving to those in need and keep on learning. 👏

I'm also intrigued as to how you did it. Low 90s to mid 70s is a big difference, from maybe 16 handicap down to about 3 or 4 in a very short time. That's huge.

Well, I was always half decent off the tee box and with full wedges. My lacking was inside 100 yards and I would 3 putt almost every hole. My bunker play was atrocious too. Lesson and practice. Learning how to maximize time on the range. Letting go of the score. Playing within myself and having realistic expectations. Learning to shallow the club at the beginning of the downswing to be on plane was the first major step for me. And to be 100 transparent, I shoot 70's at my home course. When I play a new course, I might shoot closer to 80. I'm very okay with that! ...for now

how did you do?

I enjoy listening to your commentary. Its seems sort of similar to like watching a David Attenborough nature documentary lol! I've learned alot in improving my own golf game by just listening more than actually watching the vids.

Love watching you guys play.

After 13 years of playing (I’m 26 now) I’m finally ALMOST a scratch golfer and it feels so good. It took me a while because I never played golf competitively, but I’m a visual learner and this video helped me a lot! Thanks 🙏🏼

Another enjoyable video. A little different seeing you struggle in the last few videos, but it’s a good reminder that we all have good days and bad, strengths and weaknesses, and need to play our own game like a baus. Looking forward to the next one playa

Matt One of your best videos. I'm loving the commentary and good golf !

Mo is not skipping leg day! He's looking powerful. Love the thumbnail side by side. I'm working on swing plane and face control in the backswing, moving away from you and more toward Mo. (hopefully) Just what I needed to see right now. Thanks for the post!

Your comments at the end of this video about looking for more to conquer are so true. I love the philosophy for life and golf I get from this channel. keep it up playa. love it all. :)

Love your videos and narration. I found myself thinking like you this week and it helped

I took 17 years off from golf and bought a set of clubs last summer, now I want to play like Mo hitting driver on mostly every hole but maybe it's best to find my swing first. Great video

Love when u get philosophical. You’ve conditioned me like Pavlov’s dogs - I felt ripped off when no birdie music played for Mo on 15.

Brutal honesty, awesome!

Really appreciate the strategy and philosophical aspects of your videos. For the guy who doesn't play like Mo, it really does lead to improvements, and most importantly, more fun on the course.

Ive just come back to golf after 15 year lay off and follow your advice on every shot for last two rounds of the 5 have have played. Scores have gone - 108, 101, 104, 87, 87. If i can cut out the poor executions (not poor decisions just poorly played shots) i could get under 80 easy. Thanks for such entertaining videos that teach us to play within ourselves and not like Mo. It has changed my game and playing golf is more fun than looking for balls in bushes. Waddacoach

Your videos are getting me thinking in the right direction. Your advise on being a better playing partner for better players is astoundingly right on. I really can't get enough and can't thank you enough man! Also Chiang Mai is one of my all time favorite cities. Super chill!

You always remind me to stay within yourself. I play with a scratch golfer and let’s say the first time meeting up I did all the things you warn against. Lucky for me my friend has tons of grace and is appreciative of my dedication to getting better. I started this season at a +18 and now am able to score in the low 80s on the regular.

great style from both of you, diggin the buckets

Thank you brother. I appreciate your wisdom on the topic of playing with lower handicappers. I've been 40 for about 24/hrs and my hcp is 1/2 that but I too follow what my more adept friends do. Not so safe ... and I knew it deep down but .... Thanks again. Maybe I will be more in tune with my own frequency during my b-day game tomorrow (postponed due to rain). I hope to *Pro* -pelle my game forward and gain *Moe* -mentum, driving my hcp down like a missile going into next season. As always; *much love and respect*

Mo is a Don, would love to play with him. He would have a big following on the European tour. Hope he gets there.

On the 18th... 38 yards over a bunker. And from the rough. That's one of the toughest shots you can have. I was watching the TaylorMade pros and they talk about leaving themselves 65-75 yards because closer than that is harder to judge. One more thing the pros have sorted out. This was my very first Golf Sidekick video, well done!

Love the videos - and love the moment at 19:35 where the caddie hands you a practice ball

That shirt is another level

I was born in Thailand but have been in th U.S. since I was a toddler. I so enjoy watching you play these courses. Snuk kab chiwit man ma phrxm kab wan hmdxayu

Awesome video thanks 🙏. You guys owned that par 5.

Best ‘on the course’ videos on You Tube!!!

I dropped my handicap from 14 to 9 this year and I can feel those last sentences so hard Matt... I've forgotten the journey and haven't appreciated what I've done so far, all I want to do is keep going... need to pace myself and my expectations as well.

The jazzed up tennessee whiskey ish tune always gives a melancholy vibe whilst watching these videos

11:00 eagle music to birdie music transition was smooth AF. Lovely stuff. What a pity about the incomplete high-five/fist-bump. 😳

Mo is a swing machine! Love to see him again in the channel!

Very good video. I picked up on some good instruction. Very much appreciated, thank you.

Thank you for the great videos and tips player!

The last bit of this video was very thought provoking. I sometimes wonder if I'm on an endless treadmill of wanting to get "just a bit better." Of course, this is part of my attraction to the game...it is a hobby that I want to hone and enjoy by getting better. But "getting better" means not only improving my scoring but making sure to have fun and relishing the opportunity to spend a few hours outdoors with friends. I could not agree more with the notion of having realistic expectations. For me, the most powerful tool is to not set expectations per hole but have general goals for the whole round.

man I could just listen to the music vibes and crispy iron shots all day.

Mo has really been hitting the gym. His thighs are as huge as the numbers on my scorecard^

Great commentary here!

It seems like you hit your driver more straight and consistent when you extend the control in your arms. It’s like that for a lot of golfers, but it’s not seen much.

Great point about playing the game that’s best for you - I play with guys whose long games are better than mine, albeit we are pretty equal overall once short games factored in - mental note to self re long game, thx👍

Loving Pro Mo. Want to get down to scratch - play every day. If you do not play every day then re-set your expectations. Great reality check at 2:35.

Mo doing the floss is the best thing about this video

I could watch you guys hit knockdowns all day

Makes sense bro,,, keep it up'

The draw on that driver is looking good Matt.

Legendary = Mo's driving consistency

Those green rolled like Velcro, some great chipping throughout, but difficult to get any roll out.

Drive on number 16 great. I think that’s why playing with better players than yourself is so beneficial. There game bleeds over into your game on subconscious level. Just my opinion. Peace bro Thank you for all the helpful videos

Iron strikes sounded awesome .. !

Haha the high five fist bump grab on eagle putt

Any club that I do not have 90% confidence in has come out of the bag. The 5W and 60* are on the shelf for a while. playing a par 90 approach has me in the high 80s. Whenever I think that I need to hit hard, I back off and change clubs. Thinking like a Playa!

Damn...Mo is really good, he can shape the ball whatever he wants and control the distance. I wish I can be like Mo someday.

I just come for the fashion show.

i love mo’s floss

What kind of driver does Mo play - I love the sound of his ball strike gives me goosebumps

I almost always hit a knockdown from 125y and in. It makes such a big difference in accuracy.

Eagle song is such a treat 🦅

Amazing content as always. What is the course and when do I get to play with you? 😭

Tee shots really killing me lately, when I can get off the tee I can break 80 but anymore I’ve put something in my swing and I’m embarrassed to say I top my driver. Nothing worse than a par 4 teeing up hitting it 50 yards in front of you to reach the green in 3.

dunno why I havent seen this before, great video. "what sound does a cow make in Thai?" "Mo." "that´s your name" "yes" class Playa banter.

steezy hats. they definitely feel cool wearing those

I got alot better when I starting using logic instead of ego.....playing to my strengths and not weakness (tho still working on weakness)..... Once I broke 80 I almost never went back to 80s, golf is in the mind mostly, course management, and short game! ......if you don't have a short game GET ONE!

Hi playa did you get a new camera, the video quality is mesmerizing. Cheers

wow, amazing how much harder Matt is swinging compared to Mo, maybe there is a lesson in that for all of us?

Mo doing the floss at 25:02 is so funny

“I hate 68” “But 69 you like?” “Ah, 69” “Yeah, me too”

For me a round of golf lasts until my next round of golf, as I find myself still thinking and analysing my shots even when not on the course.

You make some good points. I’ll play my round and score better than I ever had. Yet I’m complaining. Couple days later I’m like I played pretty good. I need to accept my fate And enjoy.

18:53 What a shot...

Mo's tee shot on 7 = what peak performance sounds like

Two best putters alive in Thailand

Who is doing the voice over? Great video!

I would be more than happy to play bogey golf and have the occasional par and rare birdie :) I'm just not there yet :/

What is that move he is practicing before every shot? Looks like he's working on covering the ball or tilt or maybe extension? Mo has tree trunks for legs, I be that is a large reason he drives it so well tbh. The biggest thing I noticed is he can play driver every hole because he is so accurate with it where as you have to sometimes use 2i. That and he is always leaving himself a putt on the correct side of the hole.

I have that same gap between PW and 50. 120-125 is my danger ranger.
