Just asked your thoughts on using a mini driver the other day, you replied with a list of your favorite clubs and now you're actually showing it in content. You're a man of the people matty boom boom, a certified baus, a confidential chad, thanks for what you do my brotha
Advice is tier 1, the digs at other channels priceless.... I have fully committed to Way of the playa for 2 years,and I am way happier at the end of the round.. Thank You Matt..
I got my first hole in one today, par 3 - 135 yards - PW. Lake Winds GC in NC, USA. I credit my attitude and preparation to your advice. Your videos are fun, relatable, and effective. Easily one of the best YT golf channels. What can I say, waddaplaya.
Nothing like a hole-out to cure the 3 beer hangover. I've got a confidential feeling that if I follow your stress-free advice this will finally be the summer I break 80.
Matt, I’m a lifelong golfer with an inconsistent game. Recently used swing tweaks to get some pointers and now I don’t slice the ball. I big egod myself to a 102 last Tuesday, played 2 days later using your system…. Leaving the ego in the bad, playing misses, clubbing down to make sure my ball stays up, being aggressive only when needed, toe down chips and bump and runs lead to 8 one putts… 8. Shot and 84 with one lost ball (second stoke of the day). I knew I had this game in me! I can’t wait to see the scores go even lower
I liked how you played the everyman shot to the corner of the dogleg. Really helpful videos, most helpful though when you use shots like the 80-90 player vs your own level shots. 🙏 14:41
I’m starting to use your wisdom. Shot 86 last week. It’s working for me. Breaking 80 is my goal by September. Keep using the sunblock and you will be staring in the next Batman movie! Better safe than sorry. Kinda like your golf advice!
Just played this last weekend and shot 84. It was my first round in about 2 months so I was pretty happy. I had good course management and really good chipping because I brought my TOES (Think On Every Shot) and golf sidekick in every shot. If I putted a little better I could’ve definitely broke 80 👍
cheers Matty another great vid, learned more from watching your vids this last month than 2 years watching everyone possible on youtube. i have you in my head talking me through my rounds with your wise words. And thanks for the bob rotella tips listened to his audio books great listen cheers bro for all you do.
I shot my best front 9 ever this weekend. Coming from best ever 18 score of 83, I shot +2 38 on the front. I was a scrambling son of a …. 6/7 up and down saves. Back 9 not so good. But I saw the GLIMPSE! Breaking 80 is close, playa!
Tom Doak’s “The Anatomy of a Golf Course” - which I think is the book you’re referencing - is one of my favorite golf books among my collection. Other favorites include Harvey Penick’s “Little Red Book” and Dave Pelz’s “Short Game Bible” and “Putting Bible”.
Thank you for posing this. I have learned a few things from you so far and this will help me to get better abeled to break 80. Not sure if there was someting I missed, but did you substiute a black ball on the greens sometimes? From what I saw you hit a white ball of the tees and from off the greens, but some times you seemed to be putting a black ball. Just found that strange.
Would be fun if the 2 handicap you played against the 18 handicap (or lefty maybe) you in a matchplay. Going through the game plan for both versions when getting/giving shots and when not. Lots of matchplay matches played over Summer with some bad decisions being made.
Absolutely love you and your videos… but for us yanks confidentially is when you kick your ball away from a tree stump and your playing partner sees it but keeps it confidential. Confidence is why I watch you.
Just what I needed after getting back from a round of 88 this morning,,,, The mind will be more focused tommorow when I go back out. Great as always. Thank you.
Playing in the Jameson Golf Links in Dublin tomorrow and planning on having a couple of Guinness at the Halfway House 😎. Another great video. Very helpful as always!
On my garmin I'm a 25 handicapper , my last 5 round I have it the 90s with a 88 in there aswell, definitely because of this legend I play far less idiot shots, I still duff the odd one here and there and the odd 3 putt, but I'm so enjoying my golf, especially after a fitting aswell as my new clubs are now 2up for me.
The duffs become more rare as the quest for maximum distance is removed. Hitting an easy shot to a predetermined location while setting up the next shot is less stressful, more fun, creates better results with less errors. Money.
damn I've never even really thought about what shots will create a buried ball or not. Lower clubs would make that happen less so you'll prolly get a better lie in the sand IF you do go in it. Interesting. Always finding gems of knowledge even if it seems common sense.
Hello Matt. This was , again , an amazing Waddaplayer game. Well done. I hope I can remember all your clever tips. Enjoy the rest of your day and have one more beer. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊🇩🇪
As always Matty..on the money. Great course management advice. Would love to play with you if you're ever up in the North of Scotland... You might have to bring the sun with you 😄😄😄
Well I used this technic, 3 rounds in a row. First two I fell into the hero trap; 85-86. Third round one hero mistake, focused on playing to my confidentiality spots😏, allowed for recovery on Miss hits, I shot a 77 on a par 71!
I play a mini driver and it is a great club from the fairway when you want max distance and if the lie is good. Not quite as easy as a fairway wood but far far easier than playing driver off the deck.
“There is no dogma in the Way of the Playa.” Umm… As an internet apologist of the Cult of Confidentiality I must disagree with you Matty Boom Boom: “Hit it high you’re gonna cry, hit it low, get the hoes.” “GIOTG” “Hit to Texas.” “There are no hero shots, only stupid shots.” “We play strokes shaved, not strokes gained.” “We’re still as cold as Rick Shiels’ putter.” The last one isn’t dogma, but I still love it.
I found from the back tees at this course today, I needed 6, 7, 8, 9, PW, 48, 52, 56 Mini driver, driver, 9 wood Putter Good challenge use all the clubs int he bag
Dear Mattie… Peter and Rick both bombed out of the Open qualifiers… bad mental preparations. I’d love to see you put in practice your under 80 psychology at the BO qualies 2025… give us hope and inspiration!
He thought the 1st ball was OB off the tee shot. Always hit the provisional before you leave the spot so that you NEVER have to walk back to where you hit from. It wastes a lot of time, can lead to other penalties, confuses the group behind you, and is really embarrassing.
Played with a guy who had sunblock all over his face for half of the round. I wasn't sure if he was a fan of the Ultimate Warrior, or if he was a fan of the Playa!
@golf sidekick, great video as always in teaching people how to keep the driver and reduce the score. May I make a suggestion- you can use the word 'confident' instead of 'confidential' as they have different meanings. Cheers!
@@GolfSidekick at 0:26- "I have the most confidentiality...' You should actually use the word 'confident'. Confident means you feel you are 100% sure you can do something. Confidentiality means secret
@@GolfSidekick not sure exactly which holes, but noticed on longer putts you often putt with a black golf ball even though you played the hole with a white one?
Watched this whole video from across the room with my new Red Tiger range finder
with slope rating on or off?
When will you realize that confidentiality is a word relating to security, not confidence 😂😂
I would trade all youtube golfers for this one man. We must protect him at all costs.
me too
The accidental hole out was too funny
Imagine if he was going for the pin and pulled it.😅

That’s correct Wendy

Which channels did I dig playa?
LOL
@@GolfSidekick we don't need to name names, we are to classy.. anywho, I need to meet some friends for 3 VS the course, hoping to go less than ~5..
Im pissing at the way you add more and more sun block as the video goes on. 😂 brilliant
It looks as if Matt is shaving off the shaving cream as the round finishes.

7:54 3 beers. Buckets of it. My man. Waddadrinker
Was looking for this comment. Hungover on 3 beers lol
Relatable. Feel off the next day after 2 beers.
i am Bryson debaucherous
When he told the caddie if he didnt know if she was good or bad had me on the floor! This guy is a savage!
Good to see ya back, playa. Thanks for being the #1 sun protection man.
Matt I absolutely LOVE your rapport with the caddies. Looks like they always have fun working with you. An added bonus to all your great advice.

I’m also trying to break 80, we got this playa
Hoping to break 80 this summer also. Let's make it happen!!
This is the content I need for when I play one of my three full 18s each year. I need to make the most of my limited course time.
I'm in the same boat. I get to practice lots and play a little. The way of the Playa makes a big difference. Matty is the baus
"Last night I drank too much. I had 3 beers..." 😂 I laugh but I can totally relate😉
But beer there likely contains formaldehyde and gives bad headaches

So much great advice with great shots and a healthy dose of humour on the side. Love it !
I'm learning. Thank you. The tip about practicing 1-2 footers is gold. It is giving me so much more confidence in my putting from all over the green.
The field goal posts just gave me a whole new perspective on aiming. It makes a lot of sense!
best golf channel on all of youtube hands down. cheers! (very confidential in those 3 beers lol)

Matt.. find your way to Myrtle Beach, SC., US. Have 80 courses, a place to stay, things to do, and a chaperone ?
Just what I needed after getting back from a round of 88 this morning,,,, The mind will be more focused tommorow when I go back out. Great as always. Thank you.
I’m not sure what “distance control” is. I personally use Distansay
Best part of this is he doesn’t mention swing thoughts etc once! All just plotting where you want the ball to be
Playing in the Jameson Golf Links in Dublin tomorrow and planning on having a couple of Guinness at the Halfway House 😎. Another great video. Very helpful as always!
The progression of your sunscreen is something to look forward to every hole... besides the cool learning details 😎 ... thanks brother!

Always makes my day watch the way of the playa the ultimate golf guru.

Another belter of a vid. Let us know the architect books you mentioned are worth a read.. cheers Matty BoomBoom...
What app do you use to measure the fairway width?
Love you Matty l’m still trying to break 90 but tips on breaking 80 are the same as breaking 90
Exactly
I play a mini driver and it is a great club from the fairway when you want max distance and if the lie is good. Not quite as easy as a fairway wood but far far easier than playing driver off the deck.
“Middle of the green never moves!” I’m going to take that to the par bank! ❤😂
How high do you tee up a mini driver and where would the ball placement be?
I use the same ball placement as a driver.
I tee it up just Like a normal driver in relation to the crown, in the same proportion
What is the place golf course called? Thank xou.
“There is no dogma in the Way of the Playa.”
Umm… As an internet apologist of the Cult of Confidentiality I must disagree with you Matty Boom Boom:
“Hit it high you’re gonna cry, hit it low, get the hoes.”
“GIOTG”
“Hit to Texas.”
“There are no hero shots, only stupid shots.”
“We play strokes shaved, not strokes gained.”
“We’re still as cold as Rick Shiels’ putter.”
The last one isn’t dogma, but I still love it.
What is the mini driver he uses?
Sldr

This is my favorite episode to date. Whaddaplaya, whaddaplaya.
boom
What do you get when you try to hit the hero shot?
Always great tips Matty
Way of the playa 👍
I found out that Takomo sells a full set of irons, including the pitching wedge. You should give them a try.
I found from the back tees at this course today, I needed
6, 7, 8, 9, PW, 48, 52, 56
Mini driver, driver, 9 wood
Putter
Good challenge use all the clubs int he bag
In the hole. What a freaking LEGEND Matty Boom Boom is.
Keep it rolling, rolling, rolling like Limp Bizket would say. I felt that 😂😂
Also useful on google earth: show elevation changes on a path. Great if you never played the course.
The hole out was crazyyy
How do you avoid crazy tan lines?
mr. Boom-boom, what's the story with the black ball on the green ?
sir, i dont see color
we are one
Very confidential Matty boom-boom.
Love it love love it
Thanks matty
@13:22 Ultimate Warrior Playa is best Playa in Chief!
I laughed too hard at that lol
Nice eagle Baus Man!

Always hit the provisional before you leave the spot so that you NEVER have to walk back to where you hit from.
