MastaMatta, I ply the low 100's, for decades. I took a week off, curiously watched 20 of your videos, practiced my putting for 2 hours, and went out on my home course to try your system. I shot a 58 on the first nine but never used my woods. Caught myself swinging hard a few times. Felt more comfortable with no woods on the back nine. I have new tools in these irons I had never felt this keenly before. I thought I knew the distances of my irons, but I was wrong. Hit em easy, shot a 43 on the back nine. I can feel it Matt. I enjoyed the game more and was refreshingly less tired after 18. Used the same ball all 18 holes. That has never happened. I have never hit that many shots from the center of the fairway in a month, much less a round. I play these new shot choices over in my head at night in bed. Thank you for the most exciting boring golf I could ever imagine. I cannot wait to get out there and try this again.
matty i been using your tips - not auto pulling driver etc, managing shots and breaking them down in two - not just going for the longest distance. it has helped tremendously. im now a 16 handicap and broke 90 three times this season. last year i was shooting 115-120 now i am consistently in lower 90s. down from a 36 to 26 now a 16 after a year and a half playing. your tips have been very helpful - all my friends chirp me for not using driver certain holes and i end up scoring similar to them.
Congrats man, I’ve gone from shooting upper 90’s low 100’s at the beginning of this season to now shooting in the upper 80’s because of his method as well! Chasing 85 now, I know it’s coming soon
Matty's almost exclusively responsible for me dropping from a 27 handicap to a 9 in 2 seasons. Before watching his videos i would just smash clubs as far as possible trying to get as close as possible every single shot his tips about plotting and planning my way around the course was a game changer. Everything in the game began to make more sense which led to wanting to play more and more. Now I'm on the course 4 times a week and converted my dining room into a simulator lol
@@fusionenvironmentalsolutions that's awesome. I'm hoping next year to be around 10. What was the biggest thing you needed to get from 15 to under 10 handicap?
One of the biggest takeaways from these videos is putting. Us higher handicappers are sometimes hitting the same good shots and getting ourselves in position, but we're not making the 3,4 and 5 footers that Matt rolls in with ease.
I dropped 15 to 104 in the last couple of rounds here in Honduras but can see (and feel the light) of single digit golf. Putting away driver & my 4 for now. Similar tropical courses to Thailand. Whaddalife. Easy game.
Bro I am sad to see the rash of dingleberries bashing you lately but I love your Wayne Jackson meme response. Please don’t get discouraged. I won my county tournament (2nd flight) because of the WOTP. And I’m not the only Playa you have helped. ❤
Those greens were so sandy it is hard to hold the green if your ball does not land short. The soft, sandy greens absorb the ball and won’t allow the spin to bite and check. It just sorta skips and it is a crapshoot if the ball holds the green or takes a skidding hop and rolls out quite a bit. Nice 9 holes. Well managed. I feel like buying a new golf towel now for some reason. No idea why but the thought keeps running through my head.
Hey Matt i know you like the 3 Iron as safety club off the tee is that a stock option or Utility I saw Tacoma just came out with their own UI I’ve also been looking at a US based brand called Sub 70 just curious about advantages vs cons thanks man
Playa, are you still using the Garmin Approach S40 or did you move on to another watch? Thanks for another great video. I love the detailed walkthrough for each shot
Great videos man. Entertaining and informative. Lots of useful stuff that I can take to the golf course. And who doesn’t love a fried egg shirt and matching hat! Well done, more please.
Quick question playa. I use the tight lie shot with my SW for shots like that. I just had an idea if I hit my 7 with the tight lie swing would that work? I am gonna have to try that out. I love it with wedges its pure beauty,
This is brilliant advice and content. You don’t touch on this in the video but any mental mistakes and poor shots you made were completely negated by your phenomenal putting 👏
If I want to get from 25 to 15 handicap how many GPS watches is optimal? Was going to take a lesson but now thinking that money might be better spent on buying two to three GPS watches to my increase my distance confidentiality.
Love your long iron tee offs. Would like to see you use a 2 iron,no problem for an accomplished golfer like you. At 5 56 one of the worst 4 irons-are you serious? Wonder strike
I been trying to tell people that the only reason I have a 3 handicap is because I play smart. I’m not some great golfer. I could easily add 10 strokes if I just went for it all the time.
This is now exactly how I play, played 9 holes yesterday just the one bogey on my card. I can easily say it’s down to listening and following your advice. Thanks again Matty, if you’re ever in the UK again I will get you a nice beer 👍🏻🏌️♂️
Golf is an easy game playa. Just focus on leaving yourself in a good position on your next shot. Takes all the pressure off when standing over the ball. You are not worrying about this shot, just the next one. Of course, it helps when you’re on auto pilot on putts inside 6 feet. 😂 I always enjoy your vids. Thanks for the content.
I usually drive 2.5 hours to go play golf. The bangkok ones are usually 20-60 min drive but i don’t want to be in the city anymore so i leave to not lose my sanity
@@GolfSidekick yes, totally understand why the 2.5 - 3.0 drive is necessary. I’m in Philadelphia and fly myself to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. About 2.3 hours at 160 knots and ten thousand feet. Easy trip but with a the time. I assume to RON for a few days and play daily
I managed 1 over today with the club Pro. 3 over after 9, 2 birds and 7 pars coming back. If you saw it yo uwould declare it the most boring round of golf you have ever seen. But good golf is like that. No stress, no dramra, no risks, just fairways and greens and when you miss get it up and down. I missed 1 fairway.
@@GolfSidekick I'm almost ready for Thailand. Don't go in the water, don't go in the sand and don't go in the jungle. I'm short and straight and that sure beats long and crooked.
"What a life". Exactly. Say that everytime Im able to go play. Just turned 60. Have a 10 Hcp. Play good, play bad,...just happy to play every chance I get. Exactly. "What a life". 👍
I'm just 5 years behind ya but currently play bad the last month and am in my 5th golf year. Still looking forward to each round again. Waddalife indeed. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Yes sir the one in the pinned comment is superb cannot complain at all. Picks up targets as fast and picks up distances from further than a bushnell can
A fun and helpful video, thanks for making it. Is there still a chance, to rent armspace? Because it looks as if your lazy buddies are giving you their watches for you to increase their step count so their wives get off their shoulders! You're a business wizard! On a serious note: you are wearing them for testing?

His deadpan jokes are hilarious too
We don't hit bad shots...just happy little accidents

You make the holes look like buckets for those 5/6 foot putts!@@GolfSidekick
I love how all the flight/caddies are always clapping at good shots and supporting, what a vibe man!
One of my favorite Golf Sidekick videos in a long time.
Quick question, which range finder do you use? Would you recommend it?
I have built in rangefinder in my eyes. I’m like othello from the xman
Get the Garmin one if you want the best of the best. Bushnell is the best basic one if you don’t need extra features
You always make them look so simple, I wish it were that way
Such a great channel ,you have a great teaching style.
Thanks mate 🙏🫡
3 watches and 3 towels LOL
F'n legend.
Best car wash attendant/golfer on UA-cam. Bless you Mate!

Keep the vids coming! Maybe have a playlist of all your videos starting from the beginning.
I'm up to 3 handicap and stress free golf is the key 👍
Love the three towels and watches 😂
Matty Matt- how old are you? You are hella fun, intelligent, sarcastic AF and a genuine dude. Fun to watch bro 🤘🏼
Age is a social construct
@@GolfSidekickhaha come on man I also im curious about that you look 30 😊
I identify as 23 but wake up and hobble out of bed like a 64 year old
I would call this “Smart Golf”. A great demonstration.
Put the 7W back in play. You thumped that club.
Really nailing the putts. Tee shots stay in play every time.
I love your sense of humor! My goal is to play a game of golf with you one day haha!
You're not bad for a blind person. Great video.

The new takomo ones are great. They put a a top notch start in it. I got a few today. MONEY. I’d wait till they have more coming soon
@@GolfSidekick thanks Matt
What are your towels useful for, that you are wearing in this clip? Against mosquitos? Just curious 😊
Anal flies
Playa, are you still using the Garmin Approach S40 or did you move on to another watch? Thanks for another great video. I love the detailed walkthrough for each shot
Trying them all. Garmin still big winner
The PGA has its rules, but I really enjoy the pro look of a couple of towels. Great tips playa!
"which towel and watch should I use today?"
brain: "yes"
sent from my L6 rangefinder
Perfect
Great videos man. Entertaining and informative. Lots of useful stuff that I can take to the golf course. And who doesn’t love a fried egg shirt and matching hat! Well done, more please.
More to come
I have set the same rule.. No Driver on less than 400 yards hole. I use my Driving Iron which gives me around 240 yards :)
Quick question playa. I use the tight lie shot with my SW for shots like that. I just had an idea if I hit my 7 with the tight lie swing would that work? I am gonna have to try that out. I love it with wedges its pure beauty,
Will work even with a hybrid. Perfect for a 7 iron
This is brilliant advice and content. You don’t touch on this in the video but any mental mistakes and poor shots you made were completely negated by your phenomenal putting 👏
Prestige putting
11:48 impactful cinematography for the win…money!
I love the triple redundancy in the golf watches. smart move
If I want to get from 25 to 15 handicap how many GPS watches is optimal? Was going to take a lesson but now thinking that money might be better spent on buying two to three GPS watches to my increase my distance confidentiality.
Some day four watches two on each wrist is better because it’s all about balance
Love your long iron tee offs. Would like to see you use a 2 iron,no problem for an accomplished golfer like you. At 5 56 one of the worst 4 irons-are you serious? Wonder strike

7 wood is not a rangefinder
Correction.. Peak them performance... Thanks playa
Awomen
Got enough towels? Kidding aside your videos are always interesting and helpful.
Never enough towels!!!
how many towels do i need to get my handicap to 2?
More than 0 less than 10
Im curious, who are the people in orange i see a lot in these videos?
Caddies
Has Matt jumped the shark with the towels? I cant believe thats real lol
Anther great vid. Instead of a fried egg shirt, should be a scramble egg shirt. No 2 chips baby and the scores drop!
Commander come back!!!

Why not game a cut down mini driver?
Good idea
We need a Matt vs. Fat Perez match!!!
Who is that
I got no confidentiality on or around the greens and that's where the second best golfer in Lithuania is currently struggling.
I need to know... Why 3 different watches?!
What happened to the 7W? You were money with it Playa.
Why so meny towels?
i cant pin it, is the accent new Zealand or south African
As the crow flies...😂
