      The only way I’m hitting 350 is a perfectly flush straight ball, otherwise that amount of effort is going 250 + 100 yards of hook or slice. It’s a low % try for me.

    Playa InChief,
    I shot my first 88 last week. And I have been playing for over 50 years. Mr. Boomboom, this stuff you peddle WORKS. I am too old to improve greatly, but improve I am. The most important thing you taught me is also the most amazing. You taught me to truly enjoy each and every round of golf. I laugh at my bad shots. They happen. Alot. People like to play golf with me. They enjoy their game more as well. They puzzle at my stragagies. They are impressed with my putting. I effortlessly beat people I could never beat before. I play better as they play worse. They cannot believe my club choices.
    "What a wonderful life" I tell them. I always tell them about you IF they ask how I do it. YOU are the most important mentor I have found on UA-cam Matt.
    Thank you Sir. Your videos are delightful.

    At the BMW Ladies Championship last week the announcers said Lydia Ko has a wedge swing for every 2 yards. Another reason to stop comparing ourselves to the pros. We don't have that kind of finesse and club control. I like your idea of 2 swings for each wedge, nice and simple.

      Pro ladies are so out of our universe it's crazy.
      People think that they can relate to their distances.
      But that's where the similarity stops.
      Because when they want to hit 145, they hit 145
      When they want to hit 145, there is no 10% (14.5 yard) dispersion.
      It's 4-5%
      They are CRAZY good with dropping the ego and hitting the shot needed at the time, and their precision is just silly.

But it was all down to your course management videos. I felt like my theory was spot on today and that's what got me the win. Thanks Sidekick, much appreciated!

      Excellently said playa
      All playas need CONTEXT
      that's why the easiest area to hit into off the tee depends on skill.
      we are not pros, so WHEN IN DOUBT, SEND IT is possibly the dumbest thing i have ever heard for handicap golfers.
      approach, we widen and tighten our field goals depending on our skill level. we aim for our shot shape, wider or narrower depending on skill level.
      chipping, we use OUR go to technique.
      Easy life
      Avoid the nauseating distances inside 80 yards too!

    Been watching you for years. Last week… finally, finally listened to your advice off the tee. Didn’t pull a club I couldn’t completely commit to off the tee. Even if I had to go down to six iron I did. I really just recognize that six iron, eight iron gets me out to 375 yds… I don’t need to pull drivers. also, when I was at a position, just focused on having a putt for par. Anyway, I didn’t hit the ball great but went out and shot a 77. (Three putt bogeyed eighteen after sending buddy a pick saying, “two putt from 30 feet for a 76.” Rookie mistake. Anyway, that was still seven strokes better than I’ve shot in recent memory. Two birdies and 7 bogies. The big difference, no double or triple bogies. Typically have a few each round.

  • @pr545
    @pr545 28 днів тому

    Love your videos and advice. Most of the time, I agree with your advice to hit past a front pin. Here in NJ, I play several courses where the front pins are so down hill and so fast that it either goes in or goes 10-15 feet past off the green. And it's not just because I suck at putting, everyone I play with has the same issues. And to make it even more fun, sometimes the uphill putts that don't go in roll back to your feet. So we pick up after three tries and move on. Does anyone else play on greens where this happens?

Landed it 1 hop short of green 4ft left of pin and let slope take it to the right and into hole, was beautiful, I think I peed a bit.

I do have a problem with your use of "confidential", which in English implies secrecy, as opposed to confidence which means "faith or belief that one will act in a right, proper, or effective way".

    Today I had 4 putts for birdie, around 7ft on average, a couple 8's and a 5. All missed by about 1/4 of an inch. I took it in stride, and just shrugged, but though about why I missed. Slightly under hit, slightly right, etc.. File it away in the computer mind for later reference.
    Good help in putting from GSK, in that if it does not work no worries just figure out why. At least that is what I am trying to emulate.
