Get myself back to the mindset i held as a beginner golfer - stress free! As i improved i tended to put more pressure on myself which can lead to me not always being the best playa to play with. Embracing the stree-free approach will allow me to have more fun and lead to better scores by taking out the stupid shots
This is a good comment. I think you win the gold divot tool playa. Send me your NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER matt AT golfsidekick DOT com I'll send one off to you playa
Thank you Matt for being so respectful, complimentary and grateful for just being in our country. Maybe change my goal in 2022 to example that and not take what I’ve been given for granted.
@@clsisul A lifelong American may miss out on how good you've got it. I moved to the US 14 years ago. Greatest country on earth. I think people confused "greatest" with "nicest place to live" or "most free services". But the US is certainly the greatest.
I love the vibes in this video :) I lost the man a month ago that bought me my first clubs and taught me how to play and love the game, and my goal is to appreciate the time we have here :)
Great to see the Hypeman again - I love his jovial personality and positive attitude. Playa-in-Chief shoots a respectable 10-over playing on the other side of the world, in strange course conditions, while jetlagged and --- in restrictive clothing no less. Waddaplaya!
@@GolfSidekick Also, these are not the greatest conditions to play in the north atm when leaves fall from trees and also are in the middle of the fairways. Sometimes because of that, you can lose a ball when you know you have hit it very good and in normally a safe spot. Better time to play in north is mid sping that is around mid-april ( little bit later in some states) until max mid october... Glad to see you are in America, TRUST THE SYSTEM, WADDAPLAYA !
48 freedom degrees is a warm day as long as the sun is shining! Nice seeing the start of the US trip. As for 2022 goals, break 90 with the new impinged shoulder swing 🙏⛳
My goals are to finally become a happy golfer after many years of loving the game but struggling with consistency and fearing the game at times , I've only recently started watching your videos and they are a breath of fresh air , you've opened my eyes and I am now putting a lot of constructive practice in, having lessons putting a lot more thought in to my golf , my goal is to get my handicap of 25 down enjoy my golf and become a playa and a baus
Nice to see the playa in chief in the land of the free drop and the home of the brave approach shot. Would love to see you down in here Australia too when the borders improve.
Hi Matt, your admiration of America really hit home with me. For the last year or so, I was thinking about moving to Thailand or Indonesia, where I could golf and fish, to get away from the corrupt Karens here trying to destroy my country. This video and your Instagram posts made me realize that this is still the best place to live. Thank you!
I live not far from Blue Mash and it was great watching you play on a course I have played on. Love your program and keeping fun as the most important thing in golf. I hope to break 80 this year by following your philosophy and putting in more time for practice.
2022 goal is definitely to get more sleep - your vids keeping me awake watching into the wee hours. But whenever I go to sleep and dream the birdie music I know the next day is gonna be a good day on the course!
Stoked to see the ‘Merica footage! My goal for 2022 is to get outside my comfort zone and play rounds with strangers. I work in a restaurant so my days off usually don’t work out to play with them so I’ll look for a wide open tee time to play solo. Just recently broke 100 and still feel like a burden when I’m in a group but I’m slowing getting over it thanks in part to your videos with jmac and blog! Keep doing gods work king of the playas!
Glad to see you back. Imagine what you would have shot say two years ago. With no idea on playing the short game around the greens you shot darn well. Make your way down to North Carolina and visit Pinehurst.
Good lad Matt. My goal for the year is to get out playing in my new Waddaplaya shirt and enjoy every minute of it. Having two young kids at home makes it hard to get out, so when I do, i do it with a smile and it’s all because of your videos and advice.
@@aarongoldstein8472 Just played my first round in over 2 months yesterday and it was one of the best rounds of my life. Watching this channel keeps me going whenever I don't get to play in a while.
I'm so happy to have found your channel, thank you for sharing your thoughts about the mental approach to this wonderful game as I have been working to change how I think about playing the game and managing my expectations. I'm gutted that I didn't find your channel sooner as I would have loved to have met you when you were here as Blue Mash is one of my favorite courses and is 10 minutes from my house!
I played this course regularly since I grew up about an hour away and it brings back great memories. I have since moved to Alabama and I had to do the opposite by learning how to play bermuda & zoysia grass instead of bent. Thank you for the chance to see the course again,
I think that it is safe to say that any of the playas in USA would have been similar to those you met in this video. You have a great following on this channel and have got my vote in the next election.
I used to watch your content here and there but it's just grown on me and i catch every episode now. Good enjoyable content well done and you are playing solid golf.
My goal for 2022 is to lower my handicap and take some lessons. Fell in love with golf at the end of 2021 and have watched almost all your vids. Taken a lot of the strokes shaved tips to the course. Waddaplaya
Wow!!! I am 3hrs away from that course. played that course a few times! I am a big fan! Wish I could played a round w you! Stay safe!!!! Enjoy the states!!!
I am so glad these videos are starting up. Very excited to see more. I hope you enjoyed our country and you will be back soon girlfriend. I would absolutely love to get 18 holes in with the LEGEND!
good round playa! Come to Vancouver, Canada - we have some amazing courses here. My goal this year is to break 90 consistently. Going to GolfTec weekly.
Can't wait to see the videos of you and Not a Scratch Golfer. Been harnessing the way of the Playa and on the hunt to break 90 this year. Love the channel Playa in Chief, keep up the great work!
2022 goals? Add some distance and break 75 but definitely have fun and enjoy each day on the course no matter how the game is going. Looking forward to the rest of your US tour!
today i had played an 18 hole competition off the back tee's and i play off 20 and usually shoot around low 90's to high 80's but today i beat my personal record of 87 and shot 73 off the stick, if you werent around Matt i would of never known how to break 80 with the way of the PLAYA so thank you so much for posting and keep up the outstanding work my man :)
Come to South Florida!!! Enjoy some nice warm weather and I’ll show you some of the best course in Palm Beach County! Love your videos been watching for years!! Keep it up!
great content as always! First one to kick off the tour i can tell there is plenty more of that to come. Americans have a great casual golf culture, hope one day to get there myself to experience it. Good to get the playas insight in to the difference in course conditions - never heard it broken down and made relatable like that before.
Matt, on courses with elevated greens with Kentucky Blue or Bent you can hit green side chips by drilling into the turf just like you would out of a bunker-the club never touches the ball and the explosion under the ball tosses the ball onto the green.
Blue Mash is a really class track - only about 20 minutes from me. The countryside is amazing here in the fall. Given the -10C weather here today, I'd be thrilled to be in Thailand right now.
This is so awesome! I live close by and Blue Mash is one of my favorites! If you decide to come back to Maryland, let me introduce my favorite course to you!
I always have a few goals each year...related to overall scoring average (2022 goal is 79.9), getting better at particular shots (last year I finally figured out how to hit out of green side bunkers...this year I need to figure out fairway bunkers), and the incremental journey of quelling the frustration and seeking the mellow 'way of the playa'). This year's main goal, however, is finally learning and dialing in my carry distances with my irons.
Been waiting for this. Blue Mash is a beauty. Noticed that you didn't hit driver once. You hit it further than most so it didn't matter on some holes where driver is always the club, like #2 and #3.
Thing fell out the sole of the club and I hadn't hit it properly since. That loss of weigh dropped the swing weight down too far so I had headworms with the driver.
2022 Goals: Getting fit for clubs to further my enjoyment of the game and playing a round with you in America for your 2022 Us tour! Great content as always, the wait has been worth it!
Wow! So great to see u playing in the U S and A, on a course that I’ve played ! I hope we Americans don’t forget the cost of freedom and i hope we’re all willing to pay!
Get myself back to the mindset i held as a beginner golfer - stress free! As i improved i tended to put more pressure on myself which can lead to me not always being the best playa to play with. Embracing the stree-free approach will allow me to have more fun and lead to better scores by taking out the stupid shots

Glad to finally start seeing trips of your legendary USA tour. This course looks amazing! I have to admit the slacks are throwing me off Playa!
Threw me off too. I had long johns on as well!
Thank you Matt for being so respectful, complimentary and grateful for just being in our country. Maybe change my goal in 2022 to example that and not take what I’ve been given for granted.
Best country in the world. Fight for what you have in the USA please - do not let them hoodwink you that it is terrible. it's the pinnacle
@@GolfSidekick is this genuine? As a life long American, what makes you think this?

Warm my arse. That was frostbite inducing
You just made a tough day at work a whole lot better
Same here!! 🏌🏻♂️
Waddaday
It's great to see you golfing again, Matt. You've definitely been missed. Take care.
Thanks playa. I was not so keen on i end of last year with all the horse twaddle of the last couple years. 2021 was a clusterf*ck out here

Nice playa. Just play golf. Enjoy the scenery, the time outside, the walk. The golf is only secondary and the swing is non existent
My golf goal for 2022 is to watch every USA video as quickly as I can!! So glad you're back with so much new content playa!
Yaskween, need to crank them out. Virginia and Maryland rounds a bit so-so but gets better in AZ and CA. Difficult to make content in the USA actually
Love the ‘Old School’ flash up!! 👍🏻
great to see the playa in chief on the bent and blue grass!! my goal for 2022 is harness the way of the playa and play stress free idgaf golf
Needed to get on the rye grass asap!
Nice to see the playa in chief in the land of the free drop and the home of the brave approach shot. Would love to see you down in here Australia too when the borders improve.

Absolutely my favourite UA-cam channel by a country mile!! Waddachannel!
Blue Mash is one of my "home" courses. Love that the playa in chief enjoyed it. Such a gem in late fall.
You are a gem in late fall
YES! This is what we have been waiting for! All the Insta posts leading up to this!
I live not far from Blue Mash and it was great watching you play on a course I have played on. Love your program and keeping fun as the most important thing in golf. I hope to break 80 this year by following your philosophy and putting in more time for practice.
You can. Get up and down in 3 shots or less inside 100 yards and you're breaking 80
Finally he is back!!! Thanks playa!!! You seem like you had a blast in USA.
I’m really glad to see the channels content back we’ve missed it.
2022 goal is definitely to get more sleep - your vids keeping me awake watching into the wee hours. But whenever I go to sleep and dream the birdie music I know the next day is gonna be a good day on the course!
Getting more quality sleep should be everyone's priority
I love the updated course score graphic in the top right. Meta - this is how you innovate!
Golf goal this year playa is to remember to have fun every round. After all that’s why I play. What a life!!!
This video just feels right. Playa in USA. So happy to see Matt getting to play with his fans. Looking forward to watching the entire trip.
I wish I had had more opportunity to play with more but I got the rones and had to cancel a few!
My golf goals for 2022 are to have as much fun on the course as you seem to have. Welcome back.
golf goals '22: break 90 using the way of the playa! to be an absolute surgeon from 100 yards in. catching many many birdies. love the channel!
This is too good to watch on my cell phone! I'll watch it in the evening on a big screen! Can't wait!!
Thankful for your safe return and new vids...Course is 3 hours from my home in Pennsylvania.😎
Way of the playa? In ‘Murica? Yes please!
that shot at 17:09 was a thing of beauty. Had to rewind that several times man.
Stoked to see the ‘Merica footage! My goal for 2022 is to get outside my comfort zone and play rounds with strangers. I work in a restaurant so my days off usually don’t work out to play with them so I’ll look for a wide open tee time to play solo.

The more you play with new people, the more you will be comfortable. Remember, no one cares about your score. THey just care that you're pleasant
The King is back!
Every time I play here now, I must remind myself that I get to walk the same hallowed grounds that the Playa in Chief walked. Come back soon!
Glad you liked the area! I am from and live in Virginia. Happy you enjoyed it.
The Playa has landed….so looking forward to this series fella,Rave on Rockaz..
Great to finally see a golf video from your trip. Easy golf goal for 2022 - play more. Don't care if it's good or bad, just more.
Glad to see you back. Imagine what you would have shot say two years ago. With no idea on playing the short game around the greens you shot darn well. Make your way down to North Carolina and visit Pinehurst.
OMG this is one of my favorite courses!!! i love this place best value in town!
That’s wild I live right by Dulles and recognized the roads you were driving on😂 enjoy your time here

That's the way playa.
You heard the man. "Greatest Country in the World" Thanks Matt! Some out there tend to forget.
Very blind people then. Great place. Hopefully no one gets to turn it into something vastly different. Waddaplace
Glad to see you finally make it state side. Goal of 2022 is simply play more golf and enjoy every minute of it.

I would like to spend 6 months of every year in the USA!
Welcome to the states Matt! Been looking forward to this series for awhile. Hope you come back soon!
Oneday in a warmer time!
Come to Doral and play there 4 courses! I will take care of your expenses. They have a nice golf resort.
good round playa! Come to Vancouver, Canada - we have some amazing courses here. My goal this year is to break 90 consistently. Going to GolfTec weekly.
Can't wait to see the videos of you and Not a Scratch Golfer. Been harnessing the way of the Playa and on the hunt to break 90 this year. Love the channel Playa in Chief, keep up the great work!
WaddaFallGolf! This is in my backyard, fall is the best time to play golf in MD. But greenside rough eats me up year round!
Yeah it's not THAT hard but the grass is new so we have to learn how to do it
2022 goals? Add some distance and break 75 but definitely have fun and enjoy each day on the course no matter how the game is going.
Looking forward to the rest of your US tour!
74 is on the cards playa
Not used to the playa in pants. I've never played golf on the east coast just have played on the west coast, new Mexico and Hawaii
Send $$$ I will send you with no pants
I can't wait to get back to Phuket - Red Mountain and Loch Palm. A few beers and great caddies.
today i had played an 18 hole competition off the back tee's and i play off 20 and usually shoot around low 90's to high 80's but today i beat my personal record of 87 and shot 73 off the stick, if you werent around Matt i would of never known how to break 80 with the way of the PLAYA so thank you so much for posting and keep up the outstanding work my man :)
LOL you shot 73? That is nuts
So glad to see you back posting, and in the USA!
Glad you put out more videos. I have been waiting for the USA trip.
Welcome! About 20min from me! Haven’t played there in awhile. Looks great.
What a start to this trip of yours! Can’t wait for the rest.
Love to see you in america!!!!! Lets goooo
Come to South Florida!!! Enjoy some nice warm weather and I’ll show you some of the best course in Palm Beach County! Love your videos been watching for years!! Keep it up!
I love playing Blue Mash! I'm glad you got to play one of my local golf courses!!
Waddaplaya
It's odd to see you play a course that I've seen my whole life and a road I drive often. There are some nice courses in the area for sure
Yeah I would like to spend 2 months there playng all around
Thanks for making these! Your channel is my fav golf channel... gets me so excited to play and grow my game!
Get it done playa
Welcome to America, Matt -- glad you enjoyed the scenery.
I love this course! It's not far from my home. It's a tough nut to crack, too!
Not too bad. I think from tfurther back and with the wind, it is a super challenge. Need to keep it on the short stuff around the greens
great content as always! First one to kick off the tour i can tell there is plenty more of that to come. Americans have a great casual golf culture, hope one day to get there myself to experience it. Good to get the playas insight in to the difference in course conditions - never heard it broken down and made relatable like that before.
When you coming over to 🇬🇧 bro? We have loads of courses over here plus cold weather and stripy grass. 🤗😝
Some day playa
Matt, on courses with elevated greens with Kentucky Blue or Bent you can hit green side chips by drilling into the turf just like you would out of a bunker-the club never touches the ball and the explosion under the ball tosses the ball onto the green.
Love the video again. No goals with score or handicap just hittin bombs, chuggin beer, collecting skins...viina kirves torille!!
Awesome Thanks for sharing Love for USA, I was reminded of the Freedom we are used to here, Stay up PLAYA!
Awesome! I was here the day you played but didn't realize it was you till you'd passed me. Saw you teeing off on hole number 12.
Blue Mash is a really class track - only about 20 minutes from me. The countryside is amazing here in the fall. Given the -10C weather here today, I'd be thrilled to be in Thailand right now.
I'm glad to start seeing the tour through US. I'm making the foal of dropping between a 20-22 HCP. Gotta have some good this year.
I’ve played that course ~ a half-dozen times. I’m now in Tampa. Let me know if you make it down here.
This is so awesome! I live close by and Blue Mash is one of my favorites! If you decide to come back to Maryland, let me introduce my favorite course to you!
I would love to spend 2 months there and play all the courses and learn some new skills
Golf Goal for 2022, just play more and love every second
wow of all of the courses you play at my childhood course enjoy that wind LOL
Great to see ‘the way of the playa’ here! Love your content, lessons, personality, and humility!

Mí objetivo es hacer 85 consistente playa! Big fan of the way of the playa. Greatings from Argentina

Great choice. Nothign like clubs that fit you
Awesome to see Matt in America 🇺🇸
awesome to go there
I live in MD. Played that course a few times. Good 80 Sidekick!
Could be beter with some knowledge of how to get out of the grass there
Welcome to America and bent grass golf courses!
Love it playa! I am glad you had fun in America
I've been waiting for ages for these. Thoroughly enjoyed the first one. Hopefully the UK tour is being planned???? ;)
Thanks play. UK one day - will need to plan to be there for that one week of summer you have in June
@@GolfSidekick You'll need to invest in some ball warmers. especially if you visit golf mecca (Scotland)
Wow! So great to see u playing in the U S and A, on a course that I’ve played ! I hope we Americans don’t forget the cost of freedom and i hope we’re all willing to pay!
Please do not surrender your great country to idiots!
