    It's really amazing how you manage your bag, clubs, cleaning, divots and top of everything the camera and still play as well as you do. That's the real achievement honestly.

      I broke a 100 twice this season, and I owe to the way of the Playa concept. I'm a believer! I can't wait until the 2024 season. I'm confident I can break 95 using the system.

    Played one of my greatest games today and used some of the tips you’ve suggested. No hero shots, aim at the center of the green for approach shots, stay away from bunkers and other hazards. I also got a birdie on the first hole. That felt good.

    Spectacular content! No messing about, amazing how you actually think your way to sub-par scores, it's great hearing your thought process. You saved a lot of strokes with putting here, not just the birdies but always getting the first putt close for an easy 2 putt - It would be good to see a video on how you do putting, the stroke, setup, reading the green, etc.

  • @Randsurfer

    Hole 15, your 3rd shot (little lob over bunker). Didn't even need to see result to know it was pure. That confident motion through the ball is so pleasing.

  • @OffBrandGolf
    @OffBrandGolf Рік тому +1

    No idea if this will help but the first minute of your video resonated with me. Here it is playa. The ONLY reasons I use a shorter club off the tee is for the following reasons: Avoiding anything which could keep me from having a clear shot at the green on my second. That's priority number one. Will an offline driver put a tree in the way? Will it land me in a water hazard? Will it put me in a bunker that is too deep to hit out of onto the green? The only other reason I may pull a shorter club is because getting too close to a green may make accessing a pin too difficult. What I mean by that is if it is a front flag and I am sixty out, it's going to be more difficult to accessing the flag from there than if I have a full sand wedge to 8 iron away. Those shots land and stop. Sixty yarders role out unless you hit a ridiculous flop. Sooooo if there is no danger in using driver then you have to use it. Especially in links golf. Get that ball down the fairway son! You see the result of this yielded here.

    Excellent round. Love the Matty explanation while Matty Boom Boom is chipping onto the green in the distance. Stylish. You did have me worried on hole 13 when your par putt was giving a Birdie on the scorecard graphic. The score came through correct on the following tee shot though.

    Have you ever looked at the Ping Crossover clubs? I HATE hybrids and fairway metals, but had far too much gap from driver to 4i. I picked this thing up in a 2i flavor and it is pure butter. Easy to hit, gets me out of trouble under trees, and is a joy to hit. I have the old G410 with my normal iron shaft installed and it is great off the deck and off the tee.

    I love watching your videos Matty. We have a very similar game from tee to green but you are probably 10 to 12 shots better than me basically due to your short game. Mine is not nearly as good. So watching you I feel like I am seeing what my game could look like with a better short game and that gives me a lot of encouragement to practice that part of my game.

    Nice work man! I agree with you on links about the driver. I grew up playing links and if you hit it right down the middle it can still roll out to the rough.
    If you had confidence in your drives you would be easy scratch everywhere. You’re approach play and short game is top notch.
