I broke 90 today for the first time and it’s all thanks to you! You’ve changed the way I think about and play golf. I appreciate all the content you make and the Stroke Shaved system definitely works. I had an 8 on a par 5 and even duffed some drives near the end but I just kept my composure and just kept my focus on the next shot. Man Waddalife
Congratulations! Stay with it. Good course management is something you can apply every round, no matter how good or bad you're swinging the club that particular day.
congrats!
"Paige is cute. You're ugly. Get the ball on the green." I shouldnt have laughed as hard as I did reading this.
I honestly love the short game. I think chipping is fun, and seeing it getting close and working on your shots to add spin or flopping to slow it down is a blast to learn.
short game is the best game. i put in about 4 to 1 in hours compared to the range and the course. not only fun, but allows for deep concentration with a big shag bag (about 6 dozen balls). it becomes almost like a meditation.
@@spartanical Sadly there aren't many short game areas near me that allow chipping. There is always putting. So I have been using the course when I am by myself to practice a chip or two around the holes while playing. That said, I am getting better chipping off matts at the range. I am especially working on chips that are 40-70 yards out. I feel fine right off the green, but the half-swing shots is what I am really working on now. Again, fun to learn and figure things out.
@@pandersonnike at the beginning of COVID when all the courses shut down, i bought a little 2x2 mat and went to the park. i would just chip there over and over into those chipping nets that you can lay down anywhere. it can also be done in a backyard or even in the house.
and with Kirkland's high quality golf balls, you can get 4 dozen for less than $50.
@@pandersonnikeSame. All the putting greens and Chipping areas near me have shut down. So it's either facilities at a golf club (which are only for members usually) or the driving range. When realistically as someone getting back into golf after over 10 years, all I want to do is putt and chip for hours at a time.
Yes love chipping! Have course near me that has 4 greens you can chip to and I spend about 4hrs a week chipping and always use one club my sand wedge
I've told many friends I wasn't taking the gimmes because I'm out there to hear that sound of the ball hitting the bottom of the cup! Glad someone agrees
If it's a match play I'll take them because it's a gesture from your opponent, so it seems "gentlemanly" to accept. But generally I don't do gimmes.
Way of the Playa is the way to go. Been golfing for 28 years now and after watching you Matt I am playing the best golf of my life. Our golf season in Nova Scotia started the end of April and to date I have shot the following: 81, 81, 77, 80, 79, 84, 85, 78. You are an excellent teacher Matt and I find golf so much more fun deploying better game management. Thanks again bro!
16:55 big moment playas. “It’s going left today. Not generally, but today.”
Playa 1.0 = Accept your shot shape.
Playa 2.0 = Accept your shot shape ON ANY GIVEN DAY.
We aren’t robots. Go with it, whatever it is, on that day.
🎯
And the day after I say this I shoot my worrst round in two years. Just a friendly reminder that "it" might be "schwerescheisse" and that is A-OK.
LOVE your golf videos . Thank you for showing me how to enjoy golf again. You just make it simple and play to your ability. Breaking 80 video was priceless. I have been following you for a while now (years) and love your work! I'm an expat South African now living in Melbourne and feel that your one of my good mates! Thank you
I love the idea of stress free golf until I go 30 yards OB on the first tee 🥲
lol, so true!
Yeah I don’t have a stress free club in my entire bag!
Hey man, my first rule of stress free golf is scribble out hole 1! Whether I play it good or bad, I always use the first hole as my warm up because hitting on the course mentally, is always different than the range!
Breakfast ball in play
Perfect
Love watching your videos Matt! Your attitude, logic and info help me !keep up the great work my friend!
Thanks for all the help over last couple of years. Today I was able to break my all time record using things I've picked up from your channel and my own skillset. 7 pars, 1 birdie, a 321 yard drive and finished with an 83!!! Waddaplaya! Typically a 23ish handicapper!
Congrats!
@@ICCman Thanks!
Your videos have helped me out so much! I love your philosophy and just your enjoyment of learning how to become a better player.
So looking forward to this new series, playa. Thank you
Love the format, Matt. Beautiful course, too. Keep up the good work playa. 🙏⛳🦘
Can see a real positive change in your demeanour since you came back from America. You look a lot happier an enjoying your golf, no matter how you play. ❤️
Almost certain that the change was from being able to relax and take his time filming instead of being rushed and bullied by marshalls and karens.
Great video! Love your approach...many thanks Playa!
Super happy for a refresh of the WOTP. 1.0 made me love golf again. 2.0 gonna make me and golf go to Vegas and renew our vows with Elvis.
Best and most funny UA-camr I've watched!
Love your videos Matt.
Broke into the 90s recently by adopting the “Way of the Playa” and now nearly into the 80s (hit a 90 a few rounds back). What got me into the 90s was thinking my way around the course. What I believe will get me into the 80s is GIOTG with my chipping. Losing most shots there now.
Many thanks to our Playa in Chief!
P.S. Got a couple of Waddaplaya shirts and they are great. So comfortable and look fantastic.
Nice playa good job! Shirts will help too believe it. And yes inside 120 yards is all there is to it!
Playa is a man of integrity and calf’s are looking great
Since getting my hybrid I have used it more around the greens than anything else.
It's my go-to club around the green on awkward lies.
Love short game tips in this Video. I’m doing almost exclusively Pitch & Run. Every time I around the green I have one thought “Get it on the Green” !
When I was over playing in Thailand last month I did learn on that tropical grass to use less loft when chipping
I started off using the 50degree lob wedge for my chipping but by the time I left LOS I was using the 9Iron
I just found I was getting better contact with the less lofted club with the grass the way it is there
Nice Green side tutorial. I use the 7-8 iron all the time. As the short game guru Uncle Dave Pelz would say Chip instead of Pitch, pitch instead of lob
Thanks for the century system, finally able to commit to my shots
Ranking UA-camr golfers I’d want to play with, #1 is Matt, and then nobody else.
Love the video! Next time I play, I'm going to think about your video the next time I have a chip next to the green and "automatically" grab for my 56 wedge. I'll change and grab the 7, 8 or PW instead given the situation.
I love your philosophy. Way to go playa...
If you go to the range any time soon think "finish high'. When I went in to my fitting last November I was hitting them like that and the fitter had me open my shoulders and think "finish high". It corrected me on the spot. He said that the high finish generally keeps you from turning over as much.
7 Woods are easy to hit and in my case I was getting similar distance to my 5 Wood. As an alternative tee club I use a 16 degree 4 wood, but it wants to go left if I don't weaken my grip a little. Bump and run style hybrid shots are easy with single length Hybrids ( 7 iron length shafts) using a putting stroke; my most versatile club in the bag!
Great video pal , if ye ever fancy travelling to Scotland the home of golf i will guide you to some cracking courses!
Yes Baus.....Gary player once said Hit it high,makes you cry, hit it low, earns you dough....or similar words to that sorta thing...Ive been using the bump n run rather than fancy flops al along Happy Easter!
Loved the "Hole It" rule. You're paying to practice, play and improve. Gimmes are such a lame save of 5 seconds for everyone. Get that ball in the cup!
a little hello to the caddy. good partnership and good fun
Love these how to play the course videos Matt! You could be a 7 wood salesman 😂 But where’s the 2 iron?
Thanks Matt, you helped me break 120, now onto 110!!
You will smash 110 playa. It won’t know what has hit it.
My weekend mornings when not golfing I’m watching Matty boy
This is vid I bugged u twice about in dms. I was karening u I guess. I liked seeing how the wedge is not always the go to club for chipping, if one isn’t comfy with it. Thx man. It’s amazing how much u can chip with 8 iron hybrid etc, more than u think
I feel I gonna live this series
This is the baus at his best. Thank you Matt. Signed,
The World
Last round I removed my driver completely and only hit my 3 wood of the tee box and was able to shot my new low of 87. Love your videos and content on course management they help me greatly.
easily the best lithuanian golf youtuber named matt
Thanks for the tip playa. I was worm burning or chunky monkey all day yesterday with my P/S/G... At one point they all looked really thirsty. Lake throw.
When you were on the tee box you said “Right is good”. I really like that. Don’t say “there is a scary hazard to the left”! That makes your brain focus on it, and our body is great at guiding the ball to where we focus. Use this to your advantage (just like you did) by saying “Right is good” and taking dead aim at a specific target. You hit a little hooker but you had the right idea.
Waddaplaya.
@1:42 open the face little more on the 58/60 it won't run out as much.
I tend to just practice with one club around the green so you know the reactions out of different lies better
Truth! Play your game. I chip almost everything my 56 unless its a bunker or a flop shot/being short sided
yo i am having the same issue with my drives right now(hook). ive watched a few of yours over and over trying to figure it out and it looks like you are doing exactly what I am trying to fix in my swing. In your back swing your swing path is wrapping back around you instead of being more in a straight line. it causes the head to come thru center and sweep left and the club face over shuts. If the swing path comes straight back towards the camera it may cause a slice at first but it will fix that hook! great videos man keep it up!
You've finally mastered how to end your videos. Going to search for a golf ball hitting the bottom of the cup ringtone now.
These videos helped me zen the fuck out on the golf course and play so much more relaxed and in the long run helped improve my game drastically.
Golf is so addicting and can be so difficult and frustrating on any given day. But if you really take the mental step of knowing these things and saying these things, visualizing them too. You're on your way to become a "playa" playa✌🏻🙌🏻😂
Hybrid bump and run is how I got my first Birdy. Stress free play for me.
I love the sound of dropping putts!
Another freaking t-shirt ideas bro!!!!!!!!
‘I GOT 99 PROBLEMS BUT A PITCH AINT 1’
We think way too much on the putting green. Paralysis by analysis. Nice approach to focus on chipping to kickoff 2.0. Great content as always Playa. Keep rockin that positive energy!
Totally right on the 7 wood. My mate hits his long irons left, right, very left or very right (handicap 19). Standard. He bought a 7 wood Ping online and now he hits it 190 yds straight as a bullet every time. 160 straight qs a bullet 3/4 shot. And 130 straight just over half swing. He doesn't need a 4, 5 or 6 iron anymore. It's his gap iron! Ridiculous club.
This chipping segment at the beginning. I wish I saw this video this morning before I went to the course.
Great vid...I am starting to have a great short game...Unfortunately it is off the Tee.🙃
Lovely course.
One video idea I have for you and I think a lot of us would like to see, maybe has to be a collab with pro Mo or someone but I would like to see a video about competitive golf/playing out of our comfort zones/more stressful golf.
Just broke 90 from 6140 yards and crushed it, 83 thank you playa!! First time 😎
Beast!
@@GolfSidekickthank you for helping me reach my potential!!
Took your advice and left Driver at home to take away the pressure of hitting it (hit mostly hit 7w).
Still not great off tee but would have been worse with Driver.
Chipped with 8I to allow for lower stress chips and letting it release. Trying early stages Way 2.0
Overall a better round. Need to work on putting now…(took no gimmies)
I’ll be posting my video this wkend. If you get a chance to check out, I would love your thoughts! Thanks Playa!
8 is my roll up club as well... Goid call
So… I was watching the RBC on Golf Channel today and one of the commentators mentioned a lot of PGA guys are starting to put 7 woods in their bags again. And I’m like, Of course they are, because Matt the BAUS is smoking the ever-living bejesus out of his and they want to embrace The Way of The Playa and GIOTG. Boom!
Or because Dustin Jackson has one in the bag too
Also, when trying to play the flop shot. Squat. Drop your hoop towards the floor. Ball forward in the stance and cut the legs off it.
The first shot close to the green, here is what i do.
Take my 58 degree. Keep stance even with target and weight on front foot. Ball near middle. Lean club forward. Take club back as needed for distance. Then chip / chop at the ball. Gets up in air with back spin. It hits green and slows due to spin.
This man is a ball striker. It takes lots of reps to develop consistency with stabby high lofted chip shots but if you have it in the bag more power to ya. Most of us just find it easier, and importantly more repeatable, to club up and almost take a putting stroke to just get the ball rolling towards the hole. Go low my brotha ⛳️!
@@_warren6659 you are right on the reps needed. I have done many times where i miss behind the ball and it goes blading across the green or chunked way short.
Pin position, green layout and ball setup determine if i hit that shot or P wedge bump and run.
New subscriber and today I played as a playa and only lost one ball and played golf as a playa. Splitting my distances into multiple shots. I did make some stupid shots but by and large, I was a playa and took shots o could make. Using my hybrid and 8 and 9 to chip instead of a gap or sand wedge.
Beast
@@GolfSidekick not quite beast more like beast like. I could almost hear your voice asking me if I really wanted to take that shot. lol. I cut strokes off today by focusing on the largest part of the green instead of the pin. This way of the playa really works. Love it.
And I totally slowed my swing down and focused on making it smoother and I lost about 10-20 yards per club but my accuracy more than made up for the lack of distance. Distance will come with practice.
Thank you, Playa.
Fantastic flop shot brother!!
7 wood addiction I like it 👏🏼
Golf is about imagination, you simulate the shot in your mind, then you commit! GIOTG⛳
🤣😂 verbal vomit therapy. Loving it Mattsky. Stay metal dude, Eric. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
I can see your comments finally!
@@GolfSidekick 💪🏻🙏🏻🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 cool me happy with that. Thx sir 🙏🏻
Fonzie 🤣
There's a UA-cam video where Seve talks about opening the club face then regripping the club. Seve was a True Playa 👍
You asked “I don’t know why I’m hooking it” and let me start by saying that you are much better than I. But, this is something I’ve been struggling with and I think it’s from releasing or “casting” too early in the downswing! I was dealing with an 11 degree closed face out of nowhere this season. Try holding it a bit longer… might help. May not :)
I've been having the same problem. I play for the draw and I say to myself..."how can I fade the ball when my clubface is closed? Now I know the feeling of casting...sometimes my arms get too far behind my body and last second they go after the ball to try to save the swing which usually ends up in a bad shot. I think part of the answer to this is to make sure you are rotating rather than more of a lateral motion. Now if you have read this far I think part of the answer to solving the hooking problem next time you are out on the range is focus on your swingpath. Don't look at the ball but look at the blur of your club as you hit the ball. Make sure it is going inside to out rather than outside to in.
Matt, your closing the club face over at impact too quickly. Hence the big right hook. The pros keep the face square for as long as possible through the hitting zone. Right arm under at finish rather right arm over.
Playa - you are our therapy! For the playas who can't get out there every weekend we live vicariously through you, and Not a Scratch Golfer.
How do I get on that list?
2:50 Best part right here 😜
Way of the playa 2.0? I just finished installing the last patch! Ooh well, off to patch again!
i am really confident with my 56 or 52 so i dont do bump and runs but thats just because im confident with my game and I dont practive hitting a hybrid off the green
Lol my local caddie does not love the "no birdie no tip" joke🤣🤣to be fair she would have had like 4 tips in the last year.
I'm consistently between 105 and 96 but the 60 degree is the best club in my bag. My putter definitely is not lol
Boyfriend. If I'm not mistaken, you had an instructor once, long time ago, give you a tip about chipping from a downhill lie. He had you pivot your stance so that your toes were pointing almost at your target. I've been doing that ever since and my consistency of strike if MUCH better. I noticed in this video your downhill lie chips you had a more square stance. Maybe revive that old tip.
That sound is music to my ears ....! ..... 😂😂😂
18:46 Now playas I know have to stop talking but you are my friends, we are all alone in this world together lol
More Fonzi!!
Where can I find myself a 7 wood? Is it more forgiving/ easier to hit than regular woods/ hybrid? I don’t like hitting my hybrid anymore. Always end up hitting 6i which leaves me not able to hit more than 140 yds on my 2/3rd shot. Great content as always! Nikanti looks awfully narrow from the back tee.
I had to order my 7w online. Have found some used ones in stores or on eBay.
I find it much easier/forgiving than hybrids.

“Paige is cute, you’re ugly” 😂
You had me at 7 wood
yes just in time for me to buckle down and try to break 100 for the first time
Playa! Please share with us which manufacturer of the 7 wood you are using. Cheers
Look, nobody ever knows where the ball is going. Accept it and be happy when it does, what you want !
You seem like you would be a lot of fun to play with. If you ever find yourself in the Great White North, give us shout out. And we will have a Shoot out. It will be silly 🙃
Waddafrickinglife ! Where’s Mojangles ?
I need to start playing with a caddie so I can blame my bad shots on them.
My biggest problem is smash, I want to smash everything. I’ve thought about moving up to seniors tees and just playing everything soft just a simple swing no hard swings.
take away seems inside on the woods making the hook happen
Life is too short. Wanna go Thailand. What price do you pay for a round in Chang Mai or Banchock? Is there a Golfnow equiv in Thailand? How much do you tip the Caddies?
7:07 The magnificent 7Wood
What about risen greens? Most of my greens at the club are high
Great video as per usual! What does a round of golf cost over there?
This course is expensive but it includes so much. The rate is posted at their website. If walking, and before caddy tip, golf in Thailand normally will cost from US$25 to US$50 depending on course. Phuket will be more as will the "prestige" courses everywhere.
This is $120
Thanks guys. Beautiful courses in Thailand !
Try to weaken your grip if its hooking or rotate your body more thru the swing you might be flipping alittle
fon got such smiling eyes
She was so fun - good humor
Changed to the bumb and run on 90% of chips this year. Went from a 8 strokes gained handicap to a plus 4 in chipping. 0-20 yards. 54 degree-7 iron.
Use sunscreen Matt. Supaplaya UV
Breaking 90 is easy, but I wanna get to breaking 80. That's so damn hard.
Enjoyed that WADAPLAYA keeps it real. Would love to see you play a UK course in WINTER. WADAWINTERPLAYAUK
No thanks. I won’t be playing golf below 16° C again in my life
We need winter gear from Matt.? But he lives in frigid 33° C weather, so he has no need to produce heavy fleece pull overs, beenie hats, or my favorite, sweatshirts in waddaplaya prints...
@@GolfSidekick guess the Canada trip is out then Playa lol
