One of my favorite golfers to watch. Matt makes everything easy to understand for the beginners, yet still provides teaching moments for those "experts."
Jumbo flight, I love it! The first time I saw one I was in Pattaya: six Thai gents and their caddies. There were just three players in my group but somehow they caught up to us and we happily let them play through. They were a paragon of ready golf, in fact they occasionally hit simultaneously (fairways and greens, like clockwork). But on the greens they were all business because they were playing for "big, big money, very much," according to my caddie.
I think most people show realistic distances. The simulator stuff doesn’t show anything. I can hit the ball 20-30 yards further in a sim. But then again i don’t watch golf on UA-cam so am genuinely curious, can you let me know which channel or videos make you don’t someones distances? I honestly don’t watch other channels so i don’t know how the audience may be misled and would hazard a guess that there are using the scorecard distance on the tee and then using a rangefinder. I talked about it in my whiteboard video just before this video. But please let me know, I’d be interested to see myself what you mention
I watch you a lot because our games are very similar. Same distances etc. but you’re such a better putter/get yourself out of trouble than me that’s what I’m trying to pick up off you
Bangpakong Riverside yes? Haven't been there for a while but did play Royal Lakeside a couple of weeks ago- excellent condition....45 on front, 35 on back, so yes....need to avoid the big mistakes, especially with water around. Shall keep an eye out for your floppy hat next time I drive up there from Patts.
Love the caddies looks like it's another competition with them, who can get to the ball first after putting... They are so quick blink and your ball is gone
@@GolfSidekick Too short? I just moved to a condo with a golf course built for seniors. It's just under 4100 yards and all par 3's and 4's. You could only use your driver on one hole there (3 for me). But you can still get some excellent practice in not to mention some really low scores. My best so far is two 6 under rounds and 1 of those I shot with nothing but irons. It's fabulous practice.
I think depending on the course you could do this more often I think on some of the more open course this plan works. On the tighter ones it would not work as well of course!!
Rainy season there. But about to be snowy season here in New England. Supposed to get 12-24 inches of white stuff starting tomorrow night. Put golf clubs away. Could be months.
Just an idea, you might not want to spoil the score of the hole to us after the drive by showing the greenside shot counts on the garmin app. You did this e.g. after showcasing your 298yd drive cutting the corner. Anyway, solid video, waddaplaya!
Thoughts when you play a draw with driver: exactly what happens to me! For me using driver so much makes me grind a lot more. If my auxiliary shots in short game aren’t perfect driver will cause dropped shots. I followed Justin Johnson in a opening round and he must have only hit one Fairway all day. He was even for the day but his second shots were always challenging. Signs of a real pro to grind like that!
So much about learning acceptance. When I have appropriate trust in the club to do what it supposed to, I drive the ball well. When I don't, I hear tubas playing
@@justincox8193 oh yes, and before that you need to buy some golf clubs, pay for the golf course and convince your woman that golf doesnt take too much time.
Even easier and faster: play golf normally. After 69 shots, pick ball up off the ground and leave course. Done! THe best part is, if you're a bad golfer, you get done even faster than the better golfers!
I can hook the ball anytime I want.....just put water and tree’s to the left of me. If you want me to fade, do the opposite. I’m working swinging easy now. Thanks for the videos.
Good round. Putting (short ones) were on point - and for low hcap players - that is key. Bogeys will always happen - but making birds as you go along is a huge deal to keep it below 78.
I wish i could playa but i do what the yoga group class lady tells us and what my personal trainer tells me to do in the gym. I hate it so much that i try forget it all at the end oft he session!!!
Hey Guys, are the graphics in the video where Matt shows the distances from the FORE App? Any recommendations for that - I am inbetween FORE and Golf Pad...
Hole 1 pushed. Hole 2 inside 70 yards just poor shot. Hole 3 over the back. Hole 4 pin high. Hole 5 pin high left. Hole 6 pitch on. Hole 7 push, spin off the green. Hole 8 pitch on. Hole 9 pin high right. Hole 10 over the back. Hole 11 back of the green. Hole 12 middle of the green beyond the pin. Hole 13 well past the pin. Hole 14 pitched over the Back. Hole 15 pitch on for birdie. Hole 16 pin high right. Hole 17 fluff sitting atop the long rough. Hole 18 pin high right.
How are you adding the club selected for your distances on your watch? Are you doing it from your watch or are you doing it from a computer after your round is over? I have the same Garmin watch and did not know if you can choose the club on the watch or only after the round is over.
Happens bro. Probably see me disappearing, like most people on youtube, from the comments section. Better for mental health than to read the inane ignorance of some (small minority) people
Will probably have someone filter out and block the room temperature IQ crowd. Then I’ll respond to the true playas after that initial banning has happened
Always a fan of putting it as close as possible to the hole without putting penalties into play. 50yds out is almost always better than 120yds out, even if it's a "partial wedge". Laying up to a full shot is not for playas. But like you said, you still need to keep hazards out of play. Great video.
Caddie fee at the pro shop $10 tip depending on length and frequency of relationship, factoring in number of birdies and how well i score due to their help and their knowledge, will be between $10 and $25
there used to be an internal out of bounds between 8 and 11 thats why i almost never play driver there would love the possibility of leaking it right and being in bounds
If you want to really get the feel of the Driver, use it on the par 3s too and learn distance control on that bad boy. Why not hey? I did a similar thing but used Hybrid on every hole including par 3s, just to learn the club. Tremendous help in figuring out how the club needs to impact on the ball.
Is it weird to have the females caddying for you? I don't know the customs and culture there, but it seems so odd compared to American golf. I would feel badly asking a woman to carry my bag, but if that's how they're supporting their families, then more power to them. I loved the "I just wanna bash driver today....I don't care about the consequences..." it resonated deep in my soul, haha!
Not weird. It’s normal. Cultures differ. Economics differ. I believe that a woman is perfectly capable of making her own decision and choice to work as a caddie and i believe she is strong and independent enough to pull the golf bag with strength and dignity. I mean thinking anything less of them is bordering on sexism isn’t it?
@@GolfSidekick I don't think less of them at all, moreso the opposite. Maybe its old traditional ideals, but opening doors, carrying bags, etc. for them is more about respect than sexism. Anyway, appreciate the response!

Hahahaah loved your flight mate dancing to perfectly to the music. That’s the sort of folks and atmosphere one needs in a flight. Awesome!!
She was completely sober of course
Love how much fun you always have in the videos! How our ‘hobby’ should be played!
Exactly playa. Hobby
Congrats Waddaplaya!!!!! Very impressive!!!!
I watch you a lot because our games are very similar. Same distances etc. but you’re such a better putter/get yourself out of trouble than me that’s what I’m trying to pick up off you

All about making it a great day!
Great play Matt, always fun to watch you get around a course!

excellent video, esp the write up the end. Because this is what we do. All the freakin time..
Unfortunately, I hear that damn tuba playing in my head way too often when I'm playing 🤣.
Well I haven't played in 4 years, starting back up soon. I think that damn tuba music will be all I am hearing lol.
Love the little dance with the flagstick on 15
My partner definitely had not drunk 8 beers by then
Lol the guy at 18th, "how much cost this driver" yes sir go ahead has nothing to do with the swing lol
😂 well said. I thought that guy was going to fall over after he hit it. He's all over the place!
I love the course management part of the videos. When COVID is gone I’ll come visit. I’m in Taiwan
Love the caddies looks like it's another competition with them, who can get to the ball first after putting... They are so quick blink and your ball is gone
They’re the best part of the golf experience in thailand
What a life. Looks like you had a fun day and that’s all that really matters in the end.
That’s exactly what i intended to do playa. You get it!
Yes sir. Wish I could come to Thailand and experience that with you. I’d even wear the same shirt lol.
Planning a Thailand golf trip for next year! Merry Christmas Playa!
Thanks for posting the Garmin tracker results at the end of the hole, very useful
Awesome round man. Wadda playa!
"These are some of the trickiest lies in Thailand.... Besides the one about the motorcycle accident, and the hospital fees." 😆
😂
@@GolfSidekick not believe me, lor?
25,000 baht enough
Nice round Playa! You’ve got your zen
Great fun! "I just wanna bash a driver", been there, done that! Keep it up!
The course is too short for me and the situation of playing a 6 ball is not my favorite so i figured I’d pay total idgaf golf

PS: good round!
Me too playa and some new ones coming! Only the best for the playas
@@GolfSidekick 👍
10:24 PURE!!
Dream-Team back on course!
I guess, with these long... fairways, focus sometimes is tricky.
Thanks for further details on the Garmin.
Prefer tree lined courses yes indeed playa. Easier to focus and hit great shots
Best golf channel on youtube
I think depending on the course you could do this more often I think on some of the more open course this plan works. On the tighter ones it would not work as well of course!!
Your tempo looks so much more smoother than before!
lol on some shots maybe. Some of the drives though lol

Smashy and Nicey,great golf great mate👍😁

Love the vids playa! May I ask what app or equipment you use to track ball flight?
Cheers
How to break 70? Play of the seniors Tee. Easy. Mulligan every hole. Easy.
Or only count every other shot.
Still have to hit the ball straight and get it in the hole, doesn't matter what tees you play from....
@@justincox8193 oh yes, and before that you need to buy some golf clubs, pay for the golf course and convince your woman that golf doesnt take too much time.
Two mulligans every hole

Nice playa, beware of the Cougar aka Pink Panther!
When will get to see a 18 holes 18 beers episode Matt? It's really the one we're all waiting for
Don’t really drink that much these days Playa
Seeing that hip turn.
Slowly learning and absorbing it
This video is a revelation. I'm now requiring everyone I golf with to wear the same outfits.
I can hook the ball anytime I want.....just put water and tree’s to the left of me. If you want me to fade, do the opposite. I’m working swinging easy now. Thanks for the videos.

Quite right but big thing i have noticed is inside 100-150 is vital to really get LOW. HIT IT CLOSE!
I’d like to see how you handle a course with tight fairways a lot of trees etc
Do you have any tips on the contact/release part of the swing? Always have my face slightly open....
Love the videos!
This is what it sounds like when flows cry.
Never use the markers, I use GPS for everything and use a Spotter scope to measure my true distances.
Can you do a video on your workout and yoga routine? You’ve been crushing that driver!
I wish i could playa but i do what the yoga group class lady tells us and what my personal trainer tells me to do in the gym. I hate it so much that i try forget it all at the end oft he session!!!
Could I get that 2 iron sound as some kind of attachment on all of my clubs? Waddacrack

Garmin S40
Matt, notice how many approach shots are short. Hit more club. Love the videos.
Hole 1 pushed. Hole 2 inside 70 yards just poor shot. Hole 3 over the back. Hole 4 pin high. Hole 5 pin high left. Hole 6 pitch on. Hole 7 push, spin off the green. Hole 8 pitch on.

Any chance in future videos you can add the club you're hitting to your dashboard?
I indicate the club in almost every shot already not sure i understand

During the round playa. Easy life
@@GolfSidekick can you do it from your watch, or do you do it from your cell phone during the round?
Aaron Flowers on the watch playa. It’s brilliant
A few more numpty comments on here than usual playa. Some are just not ready to embrace the wayatheplaya yet....

@@GolfSidekick please don't disappear Matt. The haters are always gonna hate. Be there for the luvvas, bruvva!
That rough just swallows the ball. How are you liking the evnroll?
Its great but only as good as the man hitting or not hitting the sweet spot. Super putter
Imma watch as much if this as possible before it gets taken down. 🙃
Why would it get taken down?
@@amatya.rakshasa he posted yesterday, but took it down. It stopped playing half way through... There's a hole in my life now 😔😁
That first hole looked like it was all mine. 😂

What kind of tracer do you use?
What a hitch
Don’t understand
Charles Barkley cameo 7:14
Look at that hip rotation in the thumbnail boiski! 😲👍 shakira shakira 💃
Do you have a shot tracker on your watch?
Yeah the watch tracks it from the movement of your hands and the jolt at impact makes it prompt you to insert which club
That damn Tuba lol
whaddda soft hands man
there used to be an internal out of bounds between 8 and 11 thats why i almost never play driver there would love the possibility of leaking it right and being in bounds
There still is, but it ends after 240 yards from the tee.
Sup pft when u start golfing
Do you have to have a caddy in Thailand?
Yes
Picking up the ladies I see ... I knew you were a player 😂
Not strong enough to pick them up
They're quite affordable
