      In my opinion this is much better than him doing post round analysis while watching back the footage. Now, he's basically saying what he would during the voice-over, but now its live and raw. Perfect!

    Great video. Must play course is Balboa Park in San Diego California. It is a love hate course. The front 9 is short and plays into a canyon. However, you have to be precise with your tee shots and great with elevation change. The back 9 is scenic with many of the holes overlooking the city, point loma, and the pacific ocean. The last two holes will test you, with a long par 3 off an extremely elevated tee which is difficult to judge and a par 4 uphill with a narrow fairway.

      @jimmydelrio8662 4 роки тому

      @@arabking1985 I am glad someone agreed with me. The toughest hole on the property is actually on the 9 hole executive. Long par 3 number 4 hole. This is one of those holes that you are actually rewarded for hitting short then chipping onto the green. That green is serverly slope and you are granteed a 3 putt if you land on the green.

    Matt, I love your channel. In a few months your content has enabled me to go from breaking 100 now on the cusp of breaking 90 which I will do soon. Most importantly it has made golf fun again. Easy life playa! Thank you. The two must play courses in Virginia are Robert Trent Jones (Gainesville, VA) and Kinloch. Kind regards!

    The lapel mike is a great idea...hear all the doubts about what went right/wrong, etc, when doing a post analysis of shots into greens, etc...working out the best percentage play to tackle the up'n'downs of each green when needed...it's a constant in golf to coach yourself into what we are doing right/wrong and how to fix it...it's like we are a caddy watching a very good ball striker going about more often than not trying to beat 80 and on the good days beat 75...i love watching the freedom he has with his general play and his smarts around the greens...makes me want to keep practising those short game chips and putts more than the range stuff...will be adopting the sidekick system of 666 for our club championships coming up in feb next month...want to definitely beat 90 on average and try to knock off 85 on average over 4 rounds...want the freedom to think nothing else than 6 greens, 6 up'n'downs and 6 birthday holes and smash those drives...

    New mic‘ is good; firstly thought maybe too much (audio-) input, but more insight in pre-shot-process is great.
    Best course around: Attighof Golf and Country Club! Loads of slope, but fine fairways and tugged into the woods; on top: beers and further catering on me. 🤙🏼

    Great video, love the commentary and verbalizing your thoughts. That is a tough course, golden rule is keep it on the fairway, the mounds, hollows and trees off the fairway are brutal, lucky to have uphill lies there, downhill lies would be bigger killer on score. Approach on 8th was PGA quality!

    I have the Garmin Approach S60 and used it for a year; the S60 has a full-color map of every hole. You can pick a target, then the watch will give the yardage to the target and the remaining yardage to the green. You can also move the pin around on the green, which would solve the problem you had on hole #6. The S60 seems to be well worth cost of the upgrade over the S40, so I highly recommend the S60. All the best!

    A must play in the Minnesota metro area, Loggers Trail! We don't get lynx style courses up here very often, if at all, but Loggers Trail is definitely lynx style, and its a real treat to play especially in the fall. The gold divot tool / birdie feather would be a great home for my Wadda Playa ball mark!

    My must-play course in my area (Reno, NV) has to be Toiyabe Golf Club. This course is tucked right up against the Sierra Nevadas and offers breathtaking views as you tour through the natural mountains of the course. It makes for a challenging but fair track but applying your course management strategies has already shedded strokes off of my games. Finally broke my 100 but the grind doesnt stop! Maybe planting some feathers will help!

    In my area the must play course is The Walker Course. It is on campus at Clemson University, with a signature 17th hole par three including a tiger paw using the green and four surrounding bunkers. It amazes me how many people come to play that course just because of the novelty that it is Clemson University’s course.

    Must play course: Hillside greens in Dawson Creek (mile zero of the Alaska highway). It is a par 3 course but it has nice sized greens, lots of variety, and the best kept greens in the area. Very poorly promoted though, I live less than a mile away and it took me a year to find it. Got my first hole in one on hole 9 in September! Keep up the positive content playa!

    • @two_toned_rooster
      @two_toned_rooster 4 роки тому

    My favorite is my home course, Fort Collins Country Club because it is a beautiful parkland course overlooking the Rocky Mountains. Excellent walking course and very good for women, seniors and Kids as not many forced carries into small, very subtle breaking greens. Tree lined so accuracy off tee is critical. Just a great track.

  • @albertjohnson5338
    @albertjohnson5338 4 роки тому

    Just north of London, in the county of Essex, is the beautiful course called 'Toot Hill'. Undulating, crossed by streams and lakes, high up over the English country side, green and with beautiful trees all around, and sometimes nearly in the middle of the fairway. A great day out, relaxing but a test. Very fast greens with with slopes that, if covered in snow, could be used for skiing! You have to be in the right place on this course.

    Hi Matt, you probably know but you should be able to change the target on your watch to match the pin location so that the distance is more exact rather than just to the center of the green - I think you said it was an Approach S40 and I use the same. Tap the green and then tap the pin location. Enjoyed the video, looking forward to the back 9! Must play course in my area is Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club (Northern Virginia, USA).
