REBUILDING THE PLAYA IN CHIEF CHAPTER 1: I have been struggling with golf playas. I just lacked motivation to go play. My body is a ball of knots. Life stress, life problems and work issues creep into your life and the golf is secondary. Then it starts falling to pieces.
But it's time for a change. So I saw Michele Low for an on-course lesson at TPC Kuala Lumpur. In this new series, I will delve into what I am going to do until the end of the year to get my game in order. That will be swing lessons, body development, and on course work with pro's and whoever.

I want to get better and I need a more balanced life as work and this nonsense of the mask-wearing virus has separated me from my loved ones and caused a lot of work stress. This is the first step. From this on course lesson I learned a few amazing things:
My putting needs work and Michele fixed it - now I have something to go work on.
My swing needs to be adjusted. I want to get rid of the sway in my swing which is a consequence of playing sports and also from a poor lifestyle of sitting for the last few years. I will see a swing coach.
Michele was practically showing me the way of the playa. It highlighted how far I have moved away from the path of the Way of the Playa because my brain is so scattered with other work and life stress when I do get to the golf course.
There is so much value in this video and Michele is a superb coach.

I had so much fun having a lesson, learnt a ton and loved editing this one. You won't find too many videos with higher value than this for immediate implementation
She's fantastic Matt! Next time I'm up in KL hope I can get a round in with her guidance.
I think there is a treasure trove beyond what was even done here. This was scratching the surface can’t wait to do it again in a couple weeks
Been playing for three years Just took the aim thing out for 18. Game changer. Played best golf so far. 76(69 par).
Golf Sidekick Michelle has lots of fairy dust to share! Loved her straightforward style! Amazing lesson!! 🙏🏻👊🏻😎
I’m 16 and have only been playing golf for 3 months. Started at 115 and have dropped to 79!! I’m so happy yesterday in my Highschool golf turny I shot 79 and I haven’t even shot a 86 before lol
4 Minutes in and I'm already so impressed with her teaching. What a godsend.
Waddacoach indeed!
man she's SPOT ON with the flop routine... it took me years to realize what I was doing wrong with that shot, and then my brother told me to use "throw" the club at the ball and take your shoulders out of it... now I can get up and down from ANYWHERE!! Because I'm not so STIFF and I don't TEETH it anymore!!
well, I went to get a club fitting. I was hitting the ball everywhere. Instead of selling me on some clubs, the guy said, "well, let's hit a few putts. I don't have any clubs that are going to help you yet". LOL
Wow, ouch!
I did this in January. Same thing. Guy didn’t want to build clubs for me. Oof. Took lessons, now I hit my clubs so well I don’t want to change them. Life I guess.
couldn't find a valid reason on why i haven't taken an on-course lesson, so i stopped this video halfway, to drive to the driving range, to practice a bit and to plan an appointment with the pro.. i will leave my pc running and this video on, so i can finish it afterwards, but right now i'm really motivated to go play..
@Ax K thanks.. just got back from the range, and it was a good practice session.. my pro wasn't there so i couldn't talk to him about an on-course session, but i'll check with him next time :)
now, i'll watch the rest of the video ;)
Years back I had the fortune to play with two course pro's and a college golfer as my summer golf shenanigan buddies.... completely changed my game, mentally, technically, everything. The range is good, but playing an actual round with very good people who are also willing to teach you was eye opening. Never had a full on lesson on the course, I imagine it's even more impactful!
@@cdh79 This is months later... Did you have the on course lesson, how'd it go?
@@tedzink4574yes I did! Since that comment I've actually had 2 on-course lessons with my pro (a third one planned in for September already as well) and also plenty of "normal" lessons where we focus not only on technique but also on the mental game and also on "how to train properly" (so also with a specific goal in mind and not just hitting thousands of balls).
My main issue is that on the range I am able to switch my mind off and just play, while on the course I still have some issues with commitment. I've been told that by some girlfriends in the past, but that was before I played golf, so I wonder how they knew back then :P
All kidding aside, I now understand a bit better where some of my weaknesses are and that has already helped improve my game by trying to actively tackle them. There's still plenty to improve, but I see it all heading the right direction. Most of it is between my ears.
@@cdh79 That's great. There's a lot of resistance to figuring out the mental issues holding people back from improving their games or just the subtle changes needed to get them playing from a position of strength rather than playing into their weaknesses. Happy to hear your enthusiasm, hope things continue to go well for you.
I haven't had an on course lesson because I don't want to get judged for my on course drinking.
LOL maybe the coach would also need a drink
This is the best comment. Touché I relinquish that feather divot remover for best comment
On course drinking is allowed if you.wear a mask in public spaces and the mask guarantees no hangovers or bogeys!
@@GolfSidekick We do...
To all you Playas out there- After lots struggles and rising scores, I just shot 83-one stroke off my personal best. Solid strikes all day, nothing worse than bogey. To what do I credit this improvement? Yes, Golf Sidekick helped...But it's all down to SEEING A PRO! If you don't get at least periodic lessons from a pro you trust, you're wasting your time. A teacher can point out things you had no idea you were doing (I also tend to sway, especially in the down swing, which was causing my fat and thin shots. I had no clue) and give fixes that make sense to you. I now have a better understanding of what true rotation feels like throughout the swing and have a couple of little thoughts/feels I can hang on to during a round.
To the Playa in Chief- Now that I sorted out some technical stuff, I was more equipped to employ your principles during my nice round- picking small targets, aiming for trouble you know you can't reach, thinking about angles into greens, not shortsiding yourself. The very things the brilliant Michele reminded you of! So how can the Playa lose his way if his way is that of the Playa? It's a philosophical riddle with a simple answer: GOLF. Waddagame. Thank you for sharing the struggles to which all golfers can relate. One of your best videos yet.
You sir are the target audience 100%. Self knoweldge, wisdoms, insight, thinking, inner reflection, improvement and then enlightenment. If everyone followed your lead, it would bring the worlds handicap down to an average of 10
@@GolfSidekick Thanks for the shout out, Broski. Just trying to stay stress-free out there.
I keep wanting to “like” specific comments on screen. I feel very similar to the Playa in Chief. It’s time to get serious. Time to do my best. Not just at golf...but life. Nutrition. Family. Work. Golf. The important things.
Keep it up, sir. Thanks for the transparency and honesty. Refreshing and critical to better golf.
Regarding the reason for no lessons, I haven’t been able convince my wife that the cost was worth it for a hobby when we have two boys to put food on the table for. Soon, though.
Yes sir. I find it is merely small decisions that make the big difference. Someone put it this way. Could you paint a van gogh? Not looking at it no. But if you took a photo of it and zoomed into the individual pixels and then drew tiny squares on your canvas and painted each square the correct color as the individual pixels, in a year, you would have a full painting an exact replica of a van gogh. But it's broken down into those tiny individual pixels. That's how the body gets out of shape or into shape. It's how we end up diabetic, fat, sick, stressed...there are tiny decisions every day that can have profound effects over 5 years if we always try to make the best decision in that moment. Like an insignificant one (on the surface) is OH I FEEL LIKE A BIG MAC. Well, I could keep driving to McD and go buy one and eat it. Or...OR!!! I could turn left, go home and walk for an hour and after the hour, I just want a glass of water and an apple. Keep doing that for those tiny decisions and BOOM, you don't even recognize your great self in 5 years
I love how Michele is so engaged in every conversation. She is superb at communicating and listening. A great teacher as well. Love it, thanks.
Every video always has at least one great quote. Today it's "The ball is so small and the Fairway is so wide" Love it! Makes things memorable.
I’ve been watching your channel trying to break 100. Shot in the 80’s for the first time yesterday and I can’t explain how much you’ve helped me stay composed and not falling apart on the course. Love the help! ❤️
Thank you playa but let's be real. It is not I who has changed you. I have merely spread the message as the earthly messenger. You are the key that must unlock the unseen lock. You have done that and you deserve the good scores. I wll take 5% credit. but you keep 95%
Whada reply..lol
Hearing her thought process for analyzing each shot is hugely helpful
MATT! MAAATTT! How come no one ever told me to be swinging UP on my putts? I tried that yesterday and Oh. My. God. I feel like a man that has stepped out of the shadows into the light.
Matt, please pass on my thanks to Michele. I took her recipe to the course and no longer afraid of hitting my driver/wood. Aim as small as possible. :)
Looking forward to chapter 2 and more.
One of my favorite videos you have made so far. I am a high school golf coach and I have been using your advice. We are adapting the way of the playa mentality and I can say the kiddos are having an absolute blast out there. Thank you for all that you do. Not only has it helped my game but it has helped the game of young golfers as well.
I have to leave a comment because I am so impressed by this woman. She is a joy to listen to and watch as she almost casually generates a sense of calm pleasantness and good feeling. Doesn't she realise that golf is excruciatingly intense? LOL. Excellent vlog again, Matt.
Eye opening. The reason I haven’t had an on course lesson, I didn’t know they were a thing. Brofessor always bring new knowledge
Eyes open mind awake. Life lived
Matt,
Great video! It's JMAC from the FB group! The 3, 3, 3 concept is exactly what I tell my baseball players (I coach high school) about starting every game with a 0-0 record. This gets their minds in the right place. We could have a record of 2-5 going into a game but having a mindset that we are 0-0 it motivates them to try harder and get a win. I will try the 3, 3, 3 process next time I go out!
Love how honest you are and committed you are to your subscribers! Keep it up, playa!
This is the teacher I've always needed. She is full of awesome insight. You are getting real peek inside the mind of a tour pro.
Great stuff, Matt and Michele.
As for your well struck 3 wood that ended up in the bunker: I think we all have a tendency to curse and remember those shots as possible card wreckers, but conveniently forget all those crap shots that get lucky bounces to end up a few feet from the hole.
You are too correct for words. Golf is clearly a distraction from what we are supposed to be doing. We are supposed to be swinging a chunk of metal with a ball getting in the way and there is no fairway, no flag, no hole...just consequences of doing something ethereal and unrelated to the glf course
Matt honestly how you don't have a million subs is beyond me. Another really great video. Looking forward to the series. Waddadecison to change things up.
He will do by this time next year!
People don’t want to be enlightened. They would rather watch someone hit balls into a screen
This is my second or third time coming back to watch the playa be taught. What a great teacher and golfer Michele is. Love it!
Where do you find these wonderful people ? Listening to Gen and Michelle talk about their approach to the game is so enlightening and uplifting. i also want to add that thanks to YOU i am playing my best golf for years.
You just need to observe fro a distance, then slide into the DM's and it's on
Thanks Frank. Don't stop don't stopping baus
England Rugby legend Jonny Wilkinson tells the story of how he became so accurate when kicking conversions or penalties by mentally visualising the tier of the stadium he’s aiming to behind the posts, then visualising the section of the tier, then visualising the row of seats, then visualising the old lady in the seat, then visualising the ice cream she’s holding, and finally focusing on the flake in the ice-cream of the old lady who’s sitting in the sit in the row in the section of the tier he’s aiming for. Bonkers really. But interesting how it applies just as well to golf too. Definitely something in it.
1/3 into this I already picked up three great takeaways. The small target, to play it short of the trouble (yes - I do sometimes hit from one catastrophe into the next) and the idea of calling the shot. This is one of your best videos 👍 and now I have to stop and rewind, I missed the middle part 🤣
Cowmilker98 🤣😂🤣👍
I have been waiting for the chance to tell the world that we are boyfriends. I will remember this day forever.
And she is amazing as a coach, and you should be applauded for putting your lesson on video. NO ONE has figured this game out yet.
What an experience! Listening to how she looks at shots and the process of getting the crap out of your mind and focus on the shots! Brilliant!!!!! She’s a proper guru! ⛳️🏌🏻
Thank you. I have not broken 90 for quite a few rounds and even raised the bat (went over 100) 2 rounds ago. I watch this video last night and today took the idea of aiming at something small and shot an 81. 🎉🏌️♂️ I hit off the tee long and straight and despite the chipping yips I went home happy. Thanks
One of the best of the series. Good practical advice--let putter head go, hit on upswing, pick smallest target, play six three hole matches.
The discussions about mentally committing to a shot is great. And she’s so normal I love it.
This was one of my absolute favorites for many reasons. Thank you for also putting yourself vulnerable and showing us that it's okay to ask for help.
Thanks playa, sometimes I need to get back to being a beginner to show the playas the real value
So far I see Jack Niclaus, Golf My Way (Don't let the hands be ahead of the clubhead on the flop shot), Harvey Penick, Little Red Book, (Aim for the smallest target, the LEAF on the top of the tree). After that, I just see an amazing coach and a great student. This is the best teaching video I've seen. Great stuff. Michelle is knowledgeable and a very good teacher.
The best insight I have seen in a golf vlog.
Michelle is a wonderful instructor. Have learned so much in die time. She is explaining extremely well. Great video. Thank you.
Went to my local Driveshack the other day and while playing “darts” for the first time I was so focused on hitting the bullseye, not one swing mechanics came to mine and I was hitting my PW beautiful with a slight draw. Hit the bullseye in less than 10 shots with the other 9 shots coming close. This whole thing of focusing on a leaf or on whatever other than direct target makes sense. Probably top 3 video you have done Baus! 👊🏽
This seems to be what golf is actually. Focusing on everything but golf. The game of golf just gets in the way of doing other things.
I have an on-course lesson every time this Golf Sidekick guy on the UA-cam puts out a video. No hitting off a mat (no pun intended) into a screen. The lessons are primarily about course management and the mental aspect of golf, show real on-course results, and are rather entertaining. For that, I pay my deepest respect and enduring gratitude. I wish I could afford more, but then, who doesn't?
Great tips, something to try out when I am next on the course, focus on a distant object rather than then fairway/green. Love it. Keep up the good work and plant them feathers.
Excellent video. I like the way you allow Michelle to be your teacher. So many of us resist the teacher because we think we’re better than having lessons, so we pay for a lesson, then ignore it. To be a better golfer you have to leave your ego in the bag. Really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Michele is the best. She turned my game around watching her channel.
Great video. I'll definitely give the "small target" a try next round. I haven't gotten lessons because as a father of multiple, young kids I'm better off spending my $$$ on their lessons so they can make the tour and take care of me later 😉. Long term goals!
Mate she kept you so calm out there!! We all need that on the course! Someone who makes my target choices for me is when I play my best golf.
That's ALL I'm thinking about, that target. Clears my mind, I picture it and swing to it. No drama, no swing thoughts, just that target.
Crazy to see you so raw and nervous since you are usually extremely confident when coaching us
Yes sir, I needed to place myself into the role of the playa in training. I need to be like the audience to understan the audience again
Had an on-course lesson once. It was the start of my learning journey. My pro now understands my game and what i need to work on.
I think if every pro had on course lessons, the world would be a better place
I’m not a playa, I just crush a lot! Love love love this woman! Info is absolute golf gold!!
Not just Waddaplaya... Waddaperson! Matt, thanks you for the transparency about your recent struggles, and for sharing these amazing upgrades with us. Best golf channel, and maybe best life lesson channel on UA-cam!
Thank you playa, we need to keep it real. We keep the good shots, the shit ones, the troubles, the victories. Golf is life and life is golf. Luckily I have no reason to prove to anyone I am a pro level golfer. I sell YOU to YOU. I am not selling anyone my lessons so it's all in the interests of the playas. No ego centric, self focused junk videos here playa
Anyone else notice this is the first time Baus man has his shirt tucked in ?
On his best behaviour. 😂
This is one of the best golf video lesson's I've ever seen (and I watch a LOT of golf instruction). Having her play a round with you is priceless. I realized you don't have to crank your drives 300 yards and stake your 5-iron next to the pin to shoot a low score! Thanks for making this excellent video! I will watch this several times this golf season when I need a refresher lesson!
Great vid. She really explains things in a unique way.. love her teaching technique.
Exactly playa
Michelle was a fabulous coach. Humble too. Remarkable. Thanks for sharing your experience
Thank you playa. She has a massive passion for improvement and took it completely seriously like it was her own game on the line. i loved it
The putting stroke looks really good. Michele seems a great coach!
Yes indeed I would say we could replace seems with is. Waddacoach
Playyya, wow its crazy how far this channel has come since I subbed , how to break 100 video back in 2018 when i started playing golf really helped me learn how to take the course each time I play. I took a break for about a year and the past 2 months I've been playing again and watching your helpful videos. I'm happy to say you have helped me from shooting 100+ when I started to shooting in the 90's and an 86 for the first time! 3 birdies in one round this past weekend. Since 2 years ago, I have devoted my time to the gym and practicing in my free time at the driving range. I'm still just 21 but man the extra power and flexibility is VERY evident. Good luck on your journey and I will continue to support you!
Thank you playa, yep we need to keep on top of our fitness and our game. It's all interconnected and when one or two things fail, the knok on effect is quick
This was just a masterclass! Loved it! Making concepts so simple
Yes on the final hole, I was honestly thinking, HOW CAN THIS GAME BE SO SIMPLE? I AM NOT EVEN PLAYING GOLF NOW. I am literally swinging something to somehting I can't reach way in the distance, and the result is that it's in the fairway
@@GolfSidekick tried this out and man it just works! Makes it so easy to actually plot your way round the course
Hi, great vid as always. I've not had an on-course lesson because... because... no idea what to say, I've had loads. Best thing ever, my coach and I don't ever talk mechanics on course, just feel, emotion, confidence level etc to decide on a shot and then execute. As an example I was struggling mightily off the tee a few weeks ago with a two direction miss, but had a big tournament coming up - so we went on the course, and found my comfortable aiming point to "deliberately and CONSISTENTLY slice" the driver onto the right side of the fairway, cause that's what my body wanted to do during that period and while it wasn't pretty it did get the ball in play. Can only do stuff like that on course. Michele seems like a brilliant coach, so many awesome points... Good luck and best wishes!
This is a real eye opener. I took so much from this!
Love that, Hines
Playa In Chief, I wanted to share that you have inspired me to be a BAUS Scramblin' Man. Today I cold topped a 5-wood from 200 yards out. Normally I would mope, feel sorry for myself and blame the shite shot on barometric pressure etc. My topped 5-wood left me with 40 yard to go and I had a new mindset - Bleep It! I am going to chip this up tight with my PW and make a par putt. AND that is exactly what I did.
So, Muchas Gracias El Jefe de BAUS Nation.
amongst 000's of golf instruction vids on YT this is hidden gold, ive learned a lot !! thanks, please more like this
By far one of my favorite golf videos, range is for mechanics, the round is about controlling the mind and playing smart.
so true playa
6:07 Hitting ya with the ol' "Aim small, Miss small"
never really understood it until this lesson
Michelle has a great personality. Putting: The ball will always SKIP for the first 1/7 of the path - it's been tested. So you should try to hit it 1 degree up to help prevent the ball jumping and roll better for the remaining 6/7s. Range: You can try a 3 x3 matrix a little like a noughts and crosses (or tic-tact-toe) grid. The bottom left square is a right hander's low fade, the top right - a high draw and the rest is everything in-between. Put an aim stick in the ground a few yards out as an indicator post. It takes a lot of discipline to only hit just one of each type of shot so go for a max of three tries and reduce to one (no repeats) over time. This brings a little bit of course pressure to the range.
No destination in golf, just the journey. Glad to see you're back on the right track, playa.
Thanks for this video! I Haven't had on-course lesson because after watching your "How to Break 100" & "...Break 90" videos, my game has become stress free and fun. Sometimes I score 98, sometimes 88. (Actual score...not +1 on every hole as you instruct.) What I now have, though, is Fun playing the game. I even help coach a high school golf team and preached your mantra from day 1. "Use less clubs...add 1 shot per hole." I can't tell you how much stress came off those young athlete's shoulders after they bought into this mindset! I will still always watch your videos and have told the kids to subscribe as well. I'll take credit for coaching the kids, but know that You were given the credit for the mindset and mantra I use to teach. Thanks again for your refreshing take on this lifelong game and keep up the great work.
Michele’s theme should just be Frozen’s Let it Go 😂
I had an absolute tuba round on my home course yesterday. The way of the playa has really helped keep my cool on the tuba rounds.
I'd imagine that the person giving me the lesson wouldn't be too keen on me drinking 5-10 beers throughout😅🤷♂️
This video has been a gamechanger for me. Having played Blades before, but recently changed to a Tom Wishon 771 CSI more forgiving set of Clubs, I improved from a Handicap 32 to recently 17. Within 6 Months.
After having watched this Video, I achieved a (one time best) 8 over par, with a Hole in One on the 18th Hole par3 at my local Golfcourse. Thanks you Matt, thank you Michelle. I couldn’t have done it without you !
Haven't had an on coarse lesson because I'm a "broke ass playa!'
Truth.
Find a coach that offers packages. Most the coaches I have run into will do a 3 lesson package and the last lesson will be a complete on-course 9 hole lesson.
Easy life, you could make another $100 somewhere - it would be worth it
6:15. Making the target as small as possible. I was with you, I was thinking aiming at a tree or the distant bunker, but she really meant it. Not only the tree, not just the top of the tree, but a leaf at the top of the tree. An incredible point of view from a pro.
She really knows what she is talking about
Havent gone for a lesson because Im too afraid that the pro will tell me what I already know about my game, that my chipping is trash and not even scotty cameron can save my putts 😂
Well yes he may tell you that, then he should tell you how to fix it pretty quickly
your best video yet. wish this lady was in wales in the uk she is so knowledgable and loved her tips. great video all around. bravo golf sidekick braaavoo
Because by hole 3 my teacher has jumped in the buggy and driven it straight into the lake...drowning is better than witnessing any more of my golf.
I think your pro didn't realize we amateur weekend take 4 holes just to warm up. Poor guy if he had waited, he would have witnessed a scratch golfer
Been using her high and far palm-tree advice, has completely changed everything for the better. Each time I do it properly the ball goes just how I want it to! Wadda teacher, wadda player!
I haven't had an on course lesson because I'm a stubborn jackass that thinks I can "figure it out" on my own.
Lol, it's not just you. Range lessons (rare) or on course lessons (more rare) are not taken because almost everyone thinks they can figure it out by themselves. Whereas the instructor will see the issues almost immediately.
Just found your channel and ,boy, am I enjoying it. I love the way you don't pretend to be a pro but a real golfer, like the rest of us. We are currently in Lockdown 3 in England, so courses are closed. I can't wait to try some of the things I've learned from you and, of course, Michele. She is a wonderful teacher. I must now try a playing lesson when I am allowed back to play. Thank you Matt. I can now catch up with some other of your videos!
The Fashion Police have been alerted to your headwear. I believe it’s a $50 fine for repeat offenders.
You are quite the humble student. It's a pleasure to watch you learn from the ladies. Great video.
I think to be a true student, you need to empty your mind. My mind was full on hole 1 and 2. By hole 3, I had submitted my mind to Michele
Went golfing with my son and son-in-law. I got my son-in-law a rangefinder for his bday, so we played 18. We counted every stroke, no mulligans or do overs. We were all 111-114. But to be honest, we played stress free golf and loved the round. I can feel my game improving, especially in the short game. The credit goes to "the way of the playa" philosophy. So glad I found this channel. Thanks, Matt.
Hey golf sidekick I haven't commented in awhile but I wanted to check in with you. Last time I commented I told you that you've helped me get down to 74 and now I wanted to let you know I'm consistently shooting even par and my best is 65. Thank you! You have helped much! My mental game is much improved.
the reason why I like your channel is that you know enough about golf not to let you feel complacent about it, but rather seek advice from pros. I love on course lessons, because whatever you can do on the range won't translate by magic. Congrats for doing a great job in promoting women pros, by the way, who are underrated by so many players I know because "hey, man, they have to hit a 4 iron and not a 6" (the same players who tend to forget they can't hit their 6 consistently). Can't wait for next episode!
It's funny that you mention Let it Go. My daughter is in the Frozen is life phase, and this song has been circulating in my head non-stop for at least 6 months. Rather than fight it, I have decided to be like the river and go with it. It is now my on course jam and helps me not chuck tantrums like a giant man-baby. Thanks for the video, playa in chief. This was game changing.
I love Michele's comments on the putts. I feel a lot of us just consistently disregard our putter or don't have a great feel for the putter and what our speed is off the face of the putter is. It's worth spending those extra hours on the putting green getting a feel for how the ball comes off the face of the putter and to truly understand our stroke.
I had on course lessons at a golf school 20 years ago. They made a big difference in how I saw my shot. It's past time for another one.
Wow Matt, I never comment but I have to say, this is really good stuff! I play of of a 6.6 HCP and I've been struggling with strike and generally enjoying the game. Last 2 rounds I played really well, and I had only 1 swing thought:"stay on top of the ball". This cleaned up my strike and I got instant backspin on wedges, something I've been missing for a month now! It's very nice to see a better player such as you being active and seeking out help when there are problems with the game 😊
Thanks playa. It is time to drop the ego, and actually sort out the stuff I wanted to sort out. I need a new story line. And this is my new one. I want to get as good as possible. But I need to get back to basics and also sort out some problems in my fundmentals.
Michele has just given you the most relaxing well guided on course lesson I have ever seen.
I recently had a lesson with the pro playing and getting 4 under which completely destroyed my game. Haven’t had a lesson since.
This has given me hope and I will start looking for an understanding pro.
Loved the tip hitting the put on the up..ball under left eye.
Brilliant advice and I could see you were benefiting/ enjoying this as well.
What is impressive is that she is able to take all the information and create a plan on each hole is 3 seconds 😳👍🏻👍🏻⛳️🏌🏻🕳
Loved the lesson(s). Love the mindset of improving an already impressive golf game. I enjoyed the way she seemed to steady your mindset with simple goals and objectives that kept you in the moment. I can see Michelle has long mastered the way of the playa.
Matt, Michele is absolutely the best teacher. She has a triple 'AAA' attitude and can talk you through the shot and the game. Brilliant.
Your game looks to be getting better almost immediately. You hit a nice ball and have the length. Relax and enjoy.
I haven’t had a PROfessor on the course because the way of the playa comes from within, and no one but myself can truly unlock such a BEAST!
You better get a cage big enough to contain the BEAST within playa!
Great video. Re-emphasizes the idea of making golf stress free without too much overthinking on the technical aspects of the game.
Actually took physical notes because this lesson was sooo good. Thanks Matt. Thanks Michelle!
Is this THE tshepo?
It is I...street name T-Bone
From San Diego, CA. Just finished a round where last week shot a 96 and today with your help and Michele’s as well shot an 81!!! Just focused on the mental part of the game without focusing on the technical aspect. BAUS!!! Keep up the great work and blessings from the USA.
Michelle is a very good coach. I watch her you tube lessons. But your such a good golfer Matt you hardly need a lesson from her!! Awesome shots man!
Been playin a little over a year and haven’t made any progress... for a year shooting 103-115 absolutely 🤢 but finally found this channel literally last week and on my life I shot an 88 last round on a par 74 fricken never thought it was possible! You (and your guests) have drastically improved my chipping and mental game. Now if I could just putt decent 🤦 aiming to beat 85 Thursday so big thanks to the channel 👍🏻
I've played 2-3 sets of 9 holes with a pro. Game changer. Especially last time where it was all attitude adjustment. Made 2 over. I've not repeated that - but it shows what's possible.
4:24 What she talks about the flop shot and needing the club head to lead and not the hands took me 1.5 hours to get to mentally during my 2.5 hour chip session and later at the par 3 I only miss-hit one chip since I was able to use at least three different chips consistently, a lot of flopping involved. So she is right! Can't wait to watch the remaining 30 minutes and comment like 15 more times
Well I haven't had an on course lesson this year because I smashed my left (lead) ankle in February and haven't played a round yet (September 9 - can't wait!). But for the previous 30 years, my excuse is that I never realised just how insightful an on course lesson could be. just wait 'til I'm back playing again!
Chip over the bunker tip with dont let the hands lead is spot on 👍 she is great at making it sound so simple great video 👍🏌️♂️👍
Your video and humble learning approach really got to me and I just booked my first golf lesson for tomorrow. I am a beginner and thought for a moment that I could learn these things by myself, with help from UA-cam, but now I see the error in my thinking. You can’t walk “The Way of the Playa” by yourself. You need people around you and can always learn something meaningful when you are in relationship with others. Thanks for everything you do! 😊
An alternative to the picking a super tiny thing in the distance...that I have found incredibly helpful:
Visualize the ball flight that your shot will have, from club to target. A) It helps if you can control the ball flight...so there’s that (B) It makes you focus intently on your intention, and on the shot you’re making.
Not hoping and praying.
Learned from the ZenGolfMechanics genius, Marcus Bell (and RMW).
Sorry for the cross promo, Matt, your channel rocks.
Used these tips yesterday, only my 2nd round of season, and managed to shoot 72. Set my intention to play stress free and had a ton of fun too. Thanks for a great video. Golf is much more fun when you treat each shot as its own individual event.

I was thinking about getting a nine hole lesson with my pro, he’s helped me so much with my swing and now I only find myself struggling inside 100 yards, playing from tricky lies, not getting near the pin on chips, and then I watch this video 5 minutes later, it’s fate. I’m asking him right now. Thanks Baus.
You're the Shit, Matt. Thanks for allowing us to see this journey you, and many of us in our own game, are on.
I haven't taken an on course lesson yet because if you hit more than one ball you hold up play, and if you don't you won't be able to see the tips in action. Never leave them out of question though. They can be really helpful if you have the motive and the coach is willing to help. ROAD TO 100K and rebuilding!!!!
Not every coach will have you hit extra balls during the lesson. Part of the lesson is dealing with the
mistake and moving forward.
