Thank you Matt! For years I have let my golf Ego get in my way and try to make Hero shots, which usually led to disaster. The last 3 outings I have played with your tutelage and hit to the "Texas" side of each hole. I am enjoying the game much more, and making more pars!

this is a subliminal message. congratulations.

"This is a subliminal message, congratulations!" Why thanks!

Matt's PGA tour stats provide helpful perspective. And if you adjust for the clubs pros hit from those distances, even more. Matt himself has explained this in his "lecture" videos. E.g. from 125-150, pros are hitting wedges, maybe a 9 iron. I don't usually get within 24 feet from 150 yards (6 iron for me). But I can usually get a pitching wedge from 100 yds. within 30 feet. When Matt pointed this out in his lecture I learned what he says here, I'm not as bad as I thought. Matt's not only THE Playa, he's a statistical genius!!!

Congratulations to anyone who was congratulated 🎊

12:36 🤣🤣 how fun is that. 2nd great putt in a row. ... and earlier: a smoked 4i and 9i ... and the video still isnt over. i assume the fist pumping and break dancing is occuring off camera? :) .. woah woah woah.. who the heck is that at 14:30 😂😂

11m30 world class advice. Enjoy playing. We're not pros. I play 2-4 9h p n putt a year now and i don't worry if I have scores of 18 over for 9 (last summerwith about 50 putts) or 5 over this year. I'm playing golf with my brother like in the noughties. Way of the playya! 😊

This! A rando I got teed up with said something one time that stuck with me. "I'm not paid to be here, I pay for it, so might as well enjoy my time". I'd so love to be able to go back and tell this to 15-16yo me. I probably wouldn't have listened, though!

10:42… fantastic par!!!

I love how it feels like your talking straight to me. Such positive encouragement and mindfulness of the game. I always let my life get in the way of my games an when you just slow down and enjoy the moment your game improves drastically. Keep up the good work playa!

Matt I’ve just got back playing golf & after many years of consistently average play. I’ve taken your advice & working with a great pro. My game has improved dramatically & now that I have incorporated the “Way of the Playa” into my game I am finally enjoying golf. You are a Legend & I thank you for your insights 👍⛳️

Just played a round where I did my best just to forget about things and I still shoot the exact same score.

The first aiming point tip has been HUGE in my game. Tee shots over water barely cross my mind during my shot because I'm so focused on the target. Can thank our man Dr. Bob Rotella for that one. (I only read the books after your recommendation Matt)

Spot on.. swing away playa

I like the tip you mention about playing the shot you are feeling.

Ok, I'll have to try that line-up trick of aiming at far-away objects. I did already use something close on the ground to help me aim my clubface, but it actually makes sense, from a purely mental point of view, to ignore precise targets on the ground and aim at something more abstract. Thanks for this, will try it next round!

Your content is so unique and compellingly simple. You have improved my gof GAME without tring to change my TECHNIQUE and made golf enjoyable while still delivering RESULTS. Consistently over 100 down into the nineties and lower. Thank you and please Keep it coming!

Wadda beautiful landscape! Looks perfect my man. Great video, per usual.

Hey Matt, that first Tee shot there was amazing Waddaplaya.. I’ll be after one of those baseball caps too.. love it Matt great vid

Thanks again Matt, its 9.30am here Wednesday i watch at least 2 or 3 of yr videos before i go to my Wednesday an Friday golf to calm me an get mr foucsed in the relaxed zone...here goes. From Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

Love the text boxes! So right about getting your mind right off the course. Bad vibes will always follow you to the course. Same goes for good vibes. Golf is my hobby, not my job. By the way, I am finally building a golf sim station at home. What courses from Thailand should I play on it?

Baus, I love this new video style. Great way to teach the proper and realistic thinking or a “hobbyist “ You have dropped my handicap from 12 to 8 by better thinking/planning. Thank YOU!

This is a return to the old style content, super helpful, made Matt the best YT golfer.

To your point about the highlight shots. I like how they'll post an "every shot" for the winner of a tournament. There are very very few amazing highlight shots.

Some great insight mate. I find I play a lot better when I think like a pro; planning my shots, visualizing my ball flight, strategizing and thinking about where to miss and where the trouble is on a hole. Versus thinking about my swing and swing thoughts. The time to work on technique and clubs you might not hit well is during practice - not on the course. I am retired and practice almost daily so my swing is what it is...I am not going to change anything during a round. When I am on the course I prefer to be in scoring mode not practice mode.

enjoyed it as usual. Man you handle the humid heat well. I would look like I'd been out in the rain.

Welcome aboard!

You’re the most positive encouraging KZread creator.

“Ok boyfriends. We’re on in 3 after a disastrous drive.” Most hysterical video yet. The last 5 minute’s especially killed me.

Your advice about picking a far target like the mountaintop is something I am currently working on. Maybe I have too much experience in precision shooting sports where I'm trying to hit what I aim at and that bothers me. My short game is actually quite good but off the tee I'm a train wreck because I'm trying to hit it to a specific part of the green and it's just not working. Thank you for all of your videos. Keep up the good work.

Only 🌟 quality content on this channel 👌

One of the best golf videos I’ve seen. Your method is exactly how I try to play a round. I learned a lot, thanks for sharing. BTW, what course is this?

That is the great thing about a Garmin watch and phone app...It records your scores knows the slope of the course and keeps a rolling handicap...Even if I only have time for 3 or 4 holes at my membership course , it figures it out.

Matt is a guru

As so many others, I am enjoying your videos a lot - and learning from them a lot! Much more than from the traditional instruction videos! Many thanks for that! One small question: On which course have you recorded this very clip? It looks super! I wish I could put it on my trip agenda. Best wishes from Belgium. Peter

Woah was that Cap-tain Lithuania at the end

Of all the golf course videos on U-Tube, this is the only one that focuses on golf management. As Matt has said, a 6000 yard course averages out to 333 yards per hole. All I need is 7 iron, a couple wedges and a putter!

Yes Mat, I was paying attention, and I did see your subliminal message. Hahahahaha, you are a bloody funny bastard, that’s what makes these videos so enjoyable and my golf game much more rewarding, even though I am pretty bad golfer. I have learnt to enjoy the game much more, than before, when I would throw a club three or four times per round, I even had to throw a second club up a tree once to get the first one out…. Cheers mate.

Matt, which course is this?

Matty - if you see this, how many rounds does it usually take you to get used to new clubs? I had been playing with 20 year old Big-Box Store clubs for, well.... 20 years, and got down as low as 92 with your videos last year. This year I saved up and got fitted for "real" clubs, a full set. I'm hitting farther (and usually more accurately) than ever before, but my misses and dispersion are worse, as are my scores. Haven't yet broken 100 this summer. Chunks, fluffs, poofies, thins, and overshooting the green with my irons between 125-180 yards is costing me strokes. Do you think I just need more swings and more range time to figure out these new clubs?

just like anything in this world - if you have not picked up the message of adatping what is good for you and rejecting what doesn't work, then you have missed the entire point. your point is an obvious one, just like the line on the ball lining up to the hole on a putt. try it, dont like it, dont do it.

Because it means you haven't given it enough and have come up short. Always try and hit past the hole to at least have given yourself a chance of holing it if it is on line.
