    Loved it. Just played yesterday after watching this and a few other videos. Shot 84 - usually high 90s. One hole was under construction so I gave myself a bogie based on average play. Left 3 birdies within 6? feet with misses of a couple inches. Like you've said , I went to my comfort zone and for me hit irons only. Driver/woods give me 2x, 3x bogies so ditched em. My 4 iron is as comfortable as my 9 but woods always ruin me. Going irons only, removing hazards with layups was exactly what you said, getting up and down which I didn't. I really feel so empowered now. I chunked two chips, 3 putt twice and only one 2x bogie ...with the birdies I left I know breaking 80 is happening this year. Thanks for reiterating leaving your ego, it was so hard to go irons only and off the first tee I was already being razzed for 'not having the balls' to hit a driver but I LOVED going toe to toe score wise and always being in the fairway. It made golf FUN! and I never got mad at myself, and said the bad chips happen and moved on.

      Just had a trip out to Cali for a couple rounds in Palm Springs and to play Torrey. Shot 80 at Indian canyons and 90 at Torrey with a +6 on the front. Wind got crazy on the back and went +12. I just try to find one swing I can consistently rely on that I can know where my misses are, aim accordingly and most importantly commit to your line and swing. I think it’s the same principle I have to relearn every year. Swing your swing and commit. Cheers and good luck out there 👍

    Man, I needed this. It's nice to be reminded that it happens to everyone. Been practising a ton, but went from striping the ball and having the most confidence I've ever had, to suddenly 'skanking' like I've never played. Happened out of nowhere. In fact, I birdie the first hole -- using all the tips I've learned from @GolfSidekick :) -- and then just BAM! 2nd hole on onward was a disaster. Will get it back sooner than later though with this confidence booster!

    I looked up Red Tiger and found two versions on Amazon Red Tiger store for $94 and $99 US. Better than my Caddy Tek from Costco at $120 that I thought was a pretty good deal. I am on the bus line of struggles lately so this video will help. Plus, I think 'beating a broken record' is pretty good for most of us to get the point across on how to get out of a terrible mindset and salvage a round going badly and also gain some knowledge through the struggles.

    Hi Matt. I'm a beginner to this golf game. Just play my first ever golf round in March 2024. I will try to commit to your strategy and aiming to break 100 within this year. Wish me luck

    Introduced my dad to your videos tonight. Told him they helped me improve my game immensely, he now understands why.
