    As many middle aged golf nuts, I've watched many videos from different 'tubers'. But none IMHO really discuss course management - it's all about golf equipment or swing mechanics. When in fact what you show us is how to think about the course, see the opportunities and understand your best approach is the way to improve your score better. You've helped me think deeply and properly about my game and how to use my modest skills to improve my scores and enjoyment of golf. Thank you. Keep up the excellent content. And I tell all my friends to watch you.

    Most of the time, I don't worry about the score. I just play what I envision to be the best shots and take the bogeys and double bogeys, even triple bogeys as they come. This gives me many insights on what to do and not to do. Over time, my scores got better, my techniques got better. I also play more on Pitch & Putt courses to improve the short game. I feel the driving range is only good for warming up, correcting flaws and fine tuning. Then again, hitting off a mat is not realistic. No sure if any of you do the same thing.

      If you struggle with long irons...take a 3 iron only to the range and learn to hit it. All the other irons will feel like wedges! In my youth I struggled to hit anything longer than a 7 iron. In my case I grabbed a 2 iron and hit it until I could draw or fade with it at will...now the longer irons are my favorite clubs. Try it.

      @@GolfSidekick, it's simple enough that even I can do it.
      For chipping: 3 Releases (#1 - toe-down bump & run, #2 - Standard, & #3 - Lob {but only for those who have MASTERED #1 & #2).
      For Pitching: 3 stance widths (1, 2, or 3 club heads apart), choose bump-&-run or standard release based on preference and let foot spacing determine the length of back swing. No more clock-position. Just use the same swing w/ SW, GW, PW, & 9I to cover 30-100 yards... It's almost like there is a BAUSE in SE Asia giving out this free advice...

    Hi matt, I have watched many of your videos over the years. I'd like to ask for a special tip, more for the golfers who play near the 6 handicap who struggle with the the hands and swing path consistency and keeping the two within a few degrees of each other. How would you practice? Do you focus fully on swing tempo for a while. Many times getting consistency with my irons would destroy my long irons and driver play and vice versa.

    • @GolfSidekick

    Matty Boom-Boom…..I need clarification on the chipping concept. I almost exclusively avoid going high on chips and opt for the lower shots. However, there are times on longer chips it feels like the ball gets up in the air more because of the distance I need to cover. Does this shot going moderately higher result in a higher class of dirty ho or a lower class of dirty ho? Or, does it completely offset the ho and I am neither crying because I technically did not ‘go high’ but I also did not ‘hit it low’. I’m fine either way.

    I think you got wrong. You hit it high it makes you cry, you hit it low it makes the dough!” 💰Gary Player. Love your channel
