Thank you for all the Great videos and advice. You have helped me and many others I'm sure. My 6/7 clubs putter 54wedge 9ir 7ir 5ir 5wood/ 3wood. Diver=8 I know. Yet Dr generally goes straight fade 5yrds or slice 25. Biggest benifit from watching your videos so far is putts/ ruler drill. Best score yet 5 in a row. Playing partners have commented on my improved putting stoke. Thanks mate Stay 😎

I have to admit, I was a sceptic. Been playing a long time, score stayed around 94 with the occasional 80 something. After scoring a 102 I decided to give Matt's technique a try. I left the driver and 60 in the garage and hit the course. Last 4 rounds: 89, 88, 87, 88! Totally sold on this technique! Thanks Matt!

I started watching his videos at a 22 handicap. (Last season at that) took game seriously over winter and now I’m at a 12 and have been playing better golf. And the thing is... he hasn’t showed anyone how to “swing” a club in his videos. Atleast from what I’ve seen. Course management, taking my time, and stress free golf is what I’ve taken from him. Course confidence as well!! Thanks playa!! Much love 💕

Love that you legend

This is the most honest, sincere and instructive tuition I have ever seen on KZread or anywhere else for that matter. An absolute masterclass. You need to stop whacking balls on the range needlessly and get out there with positive golf partners and make this happen. It should be everyone's goal to break 90. Golf becomes so much more enjoyable once you can regularly conquer this milestone.

Wadda content creator! We would be living in a relative paradise on earth if politicians did their jobs with such thoughtfulness and care. Never change Matt!

This is exactly right. You are the king of KZread golf because you deal with reality. I recommend your channel to all my friends that need you.

I literally shot 12 over as a 15 handicap after watching your videos for one week. I kid you not. It was the calmest round I’ve ever played. I was thrilled.

Waddaplaya honest advise: "If you cannot hit 150-yards, you're not playing golf... seek professional help." Thank you Baus Matt for all your helpful videos!

Finally broke 90 for the first time. I shot 89 yesterday, much love for the tips it really works

I hope this video means we're getting how to break 80 soon!!! Please continue the series.

I come for the golf in tropical locations yet I stay for the insightful golf tips. Love the channel dude, you should have Shiels-esque subscriber numbers with this quality of content - keep it up 👍

Awesome video playa. Lots of great advice. Broke 90 consistently with this approach and put down an 80.

Without a doubt the best golf video I have ever watched and all golfers should watch it. I have shot in the 70's and I still got some gold nuggets from this video. WELL DONE!!!!

“Trevor in the basement, don’t listen to him” 🤣🤣

If I could just add one more nugget to this excellent video, I would say to practice hitting all your clubs different distances. If you hit your driver 250, then practice hitting it 180-200. If you hit your 7 iron 150, then practice hitting it 100 yards. I'm an 80's golfer and I proved this point to a friend on the backside 9 at a recent golf outing. I hit longer clubs shorter distances, and hit to spots. The reason this works is that you don't need a big swing . I shot a 39 for 9 holes playing that way. He couldn't believe it. It really helps.

A great tip I’ve learned from Matt on this channel is to THINK about the shot you’re about to play, then step into the hitting zone and stop thinking. EXECUTE. Play the shot you’ve just planned and commit. Don’t second guess. Accelerate through the ball playa.

wow..i just spent 1hr...and still upset with that sudden end of the video 🤣 but thanks 🙏🏼

What an amazing hour of advices, a lecture of pure quality!

Watched this a couple times. Have been playing a couple years and have started shooting 93-96. Today shot 88!!! Threw out the 60, and concentrated on a par 90. Put the 5 wood back in for a solid 180 + shot and also clubbed up so i never stopped short. Thanks man!!

"Stop listening to Muppets" is my new mantra haha....love it man!!! LOVE it!

Class is in session playas, strap in, and take notes!

When you started talking about the chipping club I thought it was going to get dirty. This is a legit, excellent, ego free lesson. Thank you for the video

Last 4 scores : 99, 104, 99, 100. Watched this video . Made a lot of sense - I left the 3 and 5 wood out the bag and shot my personal best 90!! I had a 42 on the front 9!!

Played my local course last week for the first time since October because of Covid lockdown here in Ireland, I got a 93 and was delighted with that score! I played the same course this morning.. 82! stress free, I ditched my big slicing driver for now and tee'd off with my hybrid. thank you sir!

Rewatched this video during the week. Broke 90 today with an 89 in the last big club competition of the year. Matt your garrontee is legit 😅

No doubt this is one of the best breaking 90 golf videos I've ever watched. Over the years I sort of picking up tips here and there but this video pulls all the pieces together and presented in a way that so easy to understand. Nice job!

Newer golfer here! Last year I was shooting 110. This year after watching the breaking 100 series I smashed 100 with a 94 and 92 Last rounds. I'm stoked to apply these techniques and break 90!Thank you for all you do!!!

Can you do a vid/series on how to approach the range for higher handicappers?

Hey Matt! I’ve just finished all your break 100 videos and I’ve now hit my last 2 rounds of 95! So now i’m here at the next chapter - I just wanted to say, thank-you so much mate! I have listened and executed as best I can at this point and it’s working! I appreciate you brother!

I see "glimpses" each time out, keeps me trying! Thanks for the videos, good stuff!

Just gotta say after watching a few of your videos, I'm excited to play and hit the greens with this new found perspective and approach to growth. Can't wait!

Had to come back to this video. I just broke 90 today, for the first time. Shot an 88 and I attribute it to the suggestions in this video, staying relaxed and focusing only on each shot and not my score, using a 9 iron to chip with for a bump and run instead of trying to pitch with my sand wedge, and making sure I hit the center of the putter face every shot.

I love how emphatic you get. I believe you want me to break 90 even more than I do. Enjoyed the video. Very helpful.

Very sound advice. thank you for taking the time to post this vid

Took me 4 rounds but I finally broke 90. Thanks so much Matt. Really great stuff, much appreciated. 🙏🏼

Thank you and i love the par 90 concept

Golf Sidekick, this video is fantastic . I probably cannot play for another week or so but I am definitely going to try and use this information. I wrote all your nuggets down to bring to the course with me.

Great video, the first one that I’ve watched, now subscribed. Can’t wait for more. Thank you!

This should be the most watched golf video on KZread. Brilliant stuff.

I back to watch the series again. Having the right mindset helps so much. Let's go golf season!

Many thanks Matt! Much appreciated for all your advices and mental help. It helped a lot and I shot +4 on our 9 hole course followed by 90 on 18 holes. Difference: stupid mistakes , penalties and bad chipping 😉 punch shot and bunker shots is the target for the next weeks !

I shot 89 using this strategy, and shot E to my hdcp on that day - on a new course, after a COVID recovery, having not hit a ball in two weeks. I would have shot 85 if I’d left the hybrid in the bag, would have shot 80 if I’d clubbed up properly to hit the green middles.

Great information! I struggle on the back after a good front nine. You pointed out the mistakes I’ve been making! Thanks. Also, love the Jack Reacher shoutout!

Watched this about 4 times now. Great ideas. My game is improving!!! Thanks playa

What a great video! Great breakdown! Honest and to the point!

been shooting 12, 13 over 9 holes for two weeks, and then watched this, shot 5 over today! what a man!

Thanks playa! Shot 92 yesterday and 88 today! Was really thinking about this video a lot. And lately the 2-1 rule for range vs short game practice has helped tremendously.

Absolutely brilliant. best content for truly helping you improve your golf game.

I really hope you continue this series and do a Break 80 lecture! I've been in the low-80s cusp for a few years now (~12 handicapper) with at least a dozen rounds 80-83. However, I also love listening to these higher-handicap series to remind myself of some of these fundamentals. The biggest one for me GET IT ON THE GREEN, totally changed my mindset with my 100-30 yard shots (and even some of my short chips/bunker shots).

From watching your videos and hearing you mention these concepts previously i am consistently shooting 82-88. Just wanted to say thank you and i hope you get the time to do a how to break 80 soon!

I want to thank you for making these awesome videos. I completely bought into the “Way of the Playa” yesterday and shot under 90 for the first time (88) - five strokes off my previous best round on that course. I left my driver in the bag and teed off with a hybrid all day. Man, what a difference. Thanks again and I look forward to more stellar insight and great videos.

Wadda Coach!!! Many thanks Mat for all these key fundamentals of golf! Magnifique

Used your older video today with 6 irons off tees and won my first comp. Worked a treat. Took so much pressure off.

Thanks for these videos. Ive been playng golf since August and broke 90 twice in the last couple of weeks, thanks to your stress free system. Left my ego in the carpark. keep up the good work. great tips and love your sense of humour. I'm an ex cricketer, and professional cricket coach... loving the challenge.

This is the single most important video on you tube, ever...........at least for me! I’ve already watched it twice.

Some absolute gold nuggets in here. Thanks heaps, really great vid

Terrific video, I liked all the strategy you included. A main reason why I watch you channel you bridge where skills meets planning

amazing insights and honestly some of the funniest anecdotes I've ever heard. legend. The "cant sleep for 3 weeks" one in particular got me good.

fantastic video! your such a big help mate. Just startet playing golf this season and just broke 100 last week. Now im hunting for 90 and your guide/videos are a big help! love your way of thinking golf. Cheers from Denmark

The breaking 100 video works so I’m confident this one will too, thank you Matt 🙌🏻

Thanks sidekick best u tube videos on golf I have ever watched so keen to give it all ago thanks heaps

Watched your video several times prior to my round on Saturday. Took all the advise to heart, followed everything you discussed. I generally break 100 but only just. My Saturday round after following your guidance I shot a 90! It should have been an 89 but I missed a 3 ft put on 18 to close out the round. Stupid mental gap. Everything I did was great, I can say the biggest change to my game was putting, keeping my head down and not moving until it dropped or stopped. I even had my first legit eagle on a par 4. 270 yard drive, 38 yard chip and rolled it in. Big thanks!

Another fantastic tutorial...thanks Matt

Had a chance to do a bit of an experiment this weekend as I was playing a 9 hole course twice for the full 18. Able to compare Way Of The Playa to how I imagine most people would usually play without thinking. I'm usually a mid-high 90s hitter for 18 btw. First 9 holes i hit my 250-260yd driver every tee shot other than the par 3s, and didn't split any shots after the tee. Even with 250yds to the hole i would use my 180yd 4 hybrid, only smashing it trying to get close to the hole. Lost 3 balls, a couple of 3 putts, ended the front 9 with a 51. Standard. For the back 9 I decided to STRICTLY use Way of the Playa Breaking 90 logic. Used my 210-220yd 2 Hybrid off of every tee and then split every approach shot longer than 160yds (my 6 iron distance) into combinations of my 120yd 8iron, 105yd PW, or 85yd 56deg. Putting seemed the same, only lost 1 ball on the 11th and played with the same ball from 11 to 18. Back 9 I ended up shooting an incredible, delightful, unbelievable 41. By far the lowest score I've ever hit for 9. Also got my first birdie ever, on a 320yd par 4 (210yd 2 hybrid off the tee, 105yd PW that landed on the left fringe, holed out a maybe 4yd chip in). Ive always believed in it but never fully put Way of the Playa into practice (peer pressure from golfing buddies would have me getting out the driver and long hybrids even when I knew I shouldn't). Now, I'm a complete believer and will be implementing strict Way of the Playa for a full 18. Anyone who has watched these videos but not tried the system, I urge you to try it out just once. Leave the driver at home, and split up your approaches, and see what happens. Never did I think watching these videos that my first time trying it I could save 10 strokes over 9 holes. The system just works.

Have to say having just broke 90 and starting to find my groove this has got to be one of the best videos I have ever watched. None of this swing here, put you're fingers here, hit it there bullshit! Mental adjustment, by far the most valuable lesson I've had from anyone. Cheers

Wow, these are some great nuggets of advice in there. I can’t wait to hit the course and try them out

This video greatly helped me in breaking 90!

one of the best. He truly cares. Thank you brother. Using these videos to break 90

wow thank you for this, going to dedicate my game to this. been trying to consistantly to break 90, basic thing take the trouble clubs out of the bag that way you dnot think about them and play bogie golf. This is awesome. thanks and keep it up

Back here for a refresher. Bouncing around 91 / 92. Had my first lesson to help me get over the line and help develop my 175+ reliable club. Spending more time on my putter now too. Matt, here in the UK accepting my shot shape😀

I tried this out yesterday but to a par 95 and it made the entire day so much more fun. I usually shoot 100+ on my home course but shot a 96 using your scoring style. So cool, thanks 🤙

Watched this video about a month ago before the golf season in my area, and my first 4 rounds 95, 96, 90, 86. I spent a lot of time chipping and putting before my first round and it is the difference between mid 90's and mid 80's for me. Thank you for the content!

Playa, this video has changed my game. I had been playing stress/ego golf for years (its how I was taught, 2 older brothers haha) and knew deep down this was the way to play, but for whatever reason not the self-confidence to implement it. From averaging around 95 with dreams of playing consistent bogey golf I am now down in the 85-90 range more often than not, and enjoying myself more than ever. Thank you for breaking it down and believing in us. You are the man.

Mate that's a great video - thanks for taking the time to create it. More than one watch.

sound advice Matt, so easy to watch your videos, very entertaining.

I broke 100 with your system a few weeks ago... now looking forward to breaking 90! Thanks for the videos!!!

Lots of words of wisdom. Love the 2nd hobby tip.

Almost broke 90 yesterday. Ditched half of my clubs and am feeling much more confident. Playing again today and feeling good!!! Thanks Matt!!!!

THanks for the inspiration. For someone who has stayed in the 97-105 for over a year, struggling with what to do next with no improvement, this video has insprired me to the next level. You sir, are the man!

Hey playa, I'm a 6 handicapper, and this video is pure GOLD for any skill level. Just shared with several ~25 handicap friends. Keep it up!

I'm a mid 90's golfer working on breaking 90. I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now and the last two times I played whenever I hit a bad shot the tuba song plays in my head, and I think "no one escapes the tuba". Love your videos!
