  • I played under par for the first time in a long time after lessons and minimal practice. My main focus will be getting out of my own way and learning my distances, tendencies and patterns.
    From there I can eliminate bad shots, and create more good shots.

    Thanks for all the videos, my handicap was 18 until last weekend, it's now 15. I shot my best round of 81 at my local course after shooting 91 the week before, my concentration lapsed in the last 6 holes where I shot 7 over due to some mistakes around the Green. Thanks for all the advice over loads of videos it's certainly paying off! Managing the course and not trying to smash the ball has made me far more consistent, confident and I have more control over the shot. inside my 100 meters has drastically improved. I hope to get down to a 5 handicap now, keep the awesome content coming

      I think this approach to making content is what sets Matt apart from other UA-cam videographers. Even though I can’t strike the ball as well as him, I CAN think my way around a course with MY game to get the ball in the hole. I beat my son in law a few days ago even though he is capable of 300 yard drives and hits his 6 iron farther than my driver. I was good around the green and kept it in the fairway, he struggled from the bunker and missed lots of fairways.

    Love it sidekick. I became an ex-pat 6 years ago and as a result haven't been able to get cards in and play medals. My club back in the UK has put me up from 8 to 12.8 (13). It's been a humble awakening but I'm determined to get it back to better than before - I want to be off 5. It won't happen this season but during my 3 week return to Scotland this summer I'd love to get back to single figures. Will require a card in my hand each round which will need to be sub 80. The swing has changed as has the grip and I'm on the range three times a week - including putting as I prepare.When I get to the course I'll have to fully embrace the way of the playa. My target is a 74. Thanks so much for the inspiration bro. Keep it coming.

    This is as connected as you have ever been by far. The course, wind, lie, distance and your swing fundamentals all considered on every shot. Phd level instruction.

    Mate, you play very solid golf. It isn't very flashy, but that's probably why you score so well. And, your driving has really improved. That's a part of my game that I set out to improve. I started watching long drivers and seeing how they set up. You can't swing like they do or go huge every time, but studying them helped me go from flying it 240 and rolling out to 250, to flying it 260-270 and rolling out to 280-290. Also, I invested in a chipper/putter. It's so easy to use, it feels like I'm cheating, but I do get up and down way more than I used to.
