Thank you very informative
@@raewynmilbank6350
Holy, just stfu If you don’t care man. Im so tired of people like you💀
Hey man, I'd like to say thank you from someone whos genuinely trying to improve my game as much as possible. 2 years ago I couldn't imagine shooting low 80's every time. Now I've broken 80 around 5 times now. I dont have enough money to get private lessons, but your teaching is invaluable to me and when I have the monetary means I will be buying some of your merch. So genuinely thanks.
good job playa - you are the man
For years my dad has bested me on the course, but this year things have changed. He asked me what I’ve been doing that’s helped me improve? This is when I finally came out.
I told him I have a boyfriend. And his name is Matt.
You are clearly closeted Bromosensual
One of the best comments I've seen on this channel...LOL
If anyone is reading this I went from struggling to break 90 to consistently mid 80s just by watching his whiteboard videos (1-3 rounds). He’s the man. (Not paid to type this)
Cash in the mail.
This is my guy. I’ve improved so much over the past year. I’m a disciple.
Tried to turn my other guys onto him but they’re a little slow. I enjoyed the breaking 100, 90 videos the most. Adding strokes to holes based on handicap is pure genius.
I always play stress free golf now no matter the course or circumstances.
It works, playas! I've been at a plateau between 90 and 105 for 9 months and just broke 90 for the first time with an 86 (+16).
These videos teach so much, and strike the right balance between showing technique and encouraging the individual to practice on their own to focus on results
Got to say mate. You are such an excellent coach!!! I watch youtube alot and hardly never comment but felt the need to give you the recognition i think you deserve. Excellent content and you have really helped my game!!!
And I’ll continue to make vids for cool playas like you
I love all the new content Matt. I couldn't break 100 a year ago, now I threaten 85 every time out. Way of the Playa til I die
Sames
That's incredible. Great job and that is some amazing progress. I know I'm just some random dude in the comment section but you should be very proud. Congrats brother! 😀
I stopped bashing driver on driving range when I started watching your channel. All I do is hit 9i down, scores are dropping like flies and wouldn’t you know it, my driver is my best club! Short game confidence breeds confidence in my whole game. Thanks as always for the knowledge Baus!!
I’m using my driver a lot less now, even when everyone else is! I’ll use a 3 or a 5i. Great results. I’ll try the driver on the first open long hole, if all goes well I’ll continue, but as soon as I stop hitting it, away it goes!
Thanks for yet another stellar video. I first watched Breaking 90 over a year ago, and just broke 90 for the 9th time yesterday. Your advice is always in my head during my rounds. It keeps me focused on the process, and not the results, and the results come. Waddaplaya.
Thanks playa, been on the run for 3 years now after hitting someone with a bunker shot, good to know you're teaching people how not to do the same
Recommend sunglasses and bucket. And pseudo goatie
This is amazingly underrated!!! I practiced pitching/chipping for two hours last week, during my round this week I was noticeably closer to the hole with my short game. So much so that my playing partner remarked and asked what I did. You may have a new sub very soon! 😂
Because of your videos i started using only my PW to chip around the green.
It's been a GAME CHANGER!
I am so much more consistent with my chips. On my last round I holed out about a 50ft chip and chipped 2 others to within 1ft.
And even my misses are not NEARLY as bad as they were when i was using my 56 degree or sand wedge.
These 3 shots were on a stretch I went par, birdie, par, par, par. I had a pretty bad round from the tee and fairways, but my short game was on fire. And that's what I used to be REALLY bad at. So now that I know I can chip, and working more and more on my inside 6ft putts, its gonna bring my ceiling down so much
“Every professional golfer - Gary Player himself.” Such a nonchalantly brilliant reference to the Black Knight. Didn’t he also say “putt whenever you can, and if you can’t putt, chip. If you can’t chip, pitch.” Or something like that. Such a class act. Wonderful ambassador for the game and a credit to SA (and all Lithuanian golfers).
One of best golf lessons I had was a chipping lesson. Coach told me to take a normal putting grip and stance and then take a PW or 9I and give it a putting stroke.
These vids have driven home so many great points. My dad was a pretty great golfer, consistent for decades, and told me repeatedly, 75% of the game is inside 125 yds. It’s so easy to say but hard to put into action! These vids really help put everything in perspective- great job!
Your dad is a great guy
This man is on fire lately. This is the content I’m here for !
I followed advice from Jim Venetos and made a card up with 25/50/75/100% feel shots for all my clubs. It has been invaluable for the less than full shots. You measure with the laser to get the shot distance required, then consult the card. Ask yourself do you want a low running shot? Then look for the distance with a longer club at 25% swing feel. You want a higher shot that need to stop, then look for the distance on the card with a shorter club at say 75% feel. You have to allow for weather conditions ( hot/cold) and ground conditions ( slow/fast) and sometimes improvise with a " just a little more than say 25%" to get the distance you want.
The chip shots that I find challenging are when I am short sided ( missed in the wrong area) and the fringe of the green is rough or bare. I am not that good at putting these shots, though I am getting better now I am using an Arc Master putter. (Gravity Golf) . Using a high lofted wedge for the short chip is too erratic for my skill level, so I usually use my 19 degree single length Hybrid with a putting stoke/ or a chip-putt off the toe of my 8 iron to lift it up over the rough then roll out.
You got me to bump n run a little while ago.
That, and NO HERO SHOTS, mostly, got me to an 88, and 87 yesterday!
THANK YOU!
Let me know if you come to the Detroit area.

You should pin this comment like a baus. Don't want the other playas to miss it.
Crazy… when I first started playing a year ago, I did what you said and used one club (PW) exclusively and it was good for breaking 100. After time I realized there were chips I couldn’t pull off and switched to a SW exclusively. That was perfect for breaking 90… on the green every time for a 2 putt. But now that I’m trying to chip everything within 5 feet, I realized I was struggling a bit and so just this morning I pulled out the PW again for the chips with ample green and voila!!! Now I’ll be bringing two wedges to the practice green. Things are coming together and Im starting to understand the importance of the good miss. Thanks for all you do!!!
This is the way to the middle path
Your series are not only teaching me a new way to think but, a refresher course on other parts of the game. Thank you.
Hi Matt, love your content. Took lessons with Eric. Excellent. Helped with my turn. Oh yes, the median is the middle ball!
Really loving this series as well as the Lying Zero method, always thought like that it in matchplay but never in stroke play and I'm looking forward to seeing how that helps 👍
These latest Wotp 2.0 will be a regular watch to remind myself and I can't wait to smash 90 with it.
Cheers Baus
Thank you for saying to take a practice slap in the sand on the course while you are learning and still figuring things out. Too many people don't practice from bunkers and they never improve and will forever take 2 or 3 shots to get out. If it is a casual round, your friends and playing partners don't care what you do. As a general rule, they are too busy worrying about their own scheisse and want you to get out as soon as possible so they can take their shot. If they do care..., you need better friends.
Thanks for the outstanding content of your videos. Tell it like it is. Game management and course management. Hardly anyone else is doing this but it’s the absolute key to scoring and getting better at golf. Thanks so much.
This is so good. So much value in this. There is far too much emphasis on distance within the FB group when being able to pitch, chip and putt well will save you loads of shots in every round.
Distance is the focus every where unfortunately
I learn so much about golf from this channel. I am practicing differently and my inside 120 game has improved so much. I am feeling much more comfortable with my wedges. I need to continue to work on my putting as the 3 and 4 putts are killing my scores. Scoring bogey or doubles when i could have had par or better. I believe in the way of the playa. Thank you playa
These bunker tips plus a 56 degree Cleveland Smart Sole Wedge and youll soon start making bunker shots. No Joke. Thank you so much Matt for your mindset instruction. I am now breaking 90 on a regular basis. And i only hit my pitching wedge 100 yds.
loving these recent short game tips
I love the practice and stategy videos! Great job!
Proper survival handbook series! To be honest, your style aint for me (well the hat...) , but the way of the playa, this is the best I have seen so far on youtube. very genuine approach to real golf situations. Plus I play in japan, so I can kind of relate to thailand courses more than on the european or us.
Awesome! Playa just keeps cranking out the videos. Keep them coming!
Excellent points! Been working on my short game (is key) and have shaved off strokes. If that part of your game excels you will benefit on all aspects of your overall game👍
Big fan from India. Love your sense of humour and attention to details. Best Golf videos ever. ❤❤
The content is brilliant. Thank you. With your help, i am breaking 100. Working on breaking 90.
I like your serious but fun delivery.
This one was a good mix of indoor and outdoor examples.
Thanks again.
You need to make the playas golf bible. Like make an actual physical book that’s about the size of a yardage book, full of all your insight. Something we can keep on us for when pulling up a full length video isn’t an option
After lots of tries, I found that I can chip with my 8 iron to land 1/4 of the distance to the hole on a mostly flat green for best results. 1/3 with the 9 iron, and 1/2 distance with the PW, adjusting slightly for down slopes and up slopes. It’s easy to walk off the full distance and pick a good landing spot before chipping.
thanks to adam at "not a scratch golfer" i have found on slower greens, chipping with lower lofted clubs like an 8 or even a 7 have more favorable outcomes since they more roll out versus any wedge which i'll use on fast and really fast greens.
i have been working on chipping with a 4 hybrid from close mowed fairways and aprons
yes longer blades of grass will grip the ball more with wedge shots for sure
Super amped to take this newly found knowledge on the course today! 120 and in is the #1 thing I’m working on this year!
The go-to video to improve my game Great!
Great content Matt, way to go 👍
best advice ever, 80% of the game
Absolutely spot on, Brotatchip! If I miss a green on the correct side I'm ALWAYS confident I'll pitch or chip the ball to within six feet. Errrrytime...
I've seen it - it's uncanny
Love the simplicity the good old KISS method Thanks Matt
Great series Matt. Well done and well researched
Your Course management videos are the best. Golf is a mind game, the physics is the easy part.
This series of videos is fantastic; it’s like a magnum opus to your journey, experience, and philosophy.
Getting your “inside 120 yards toolkit” of shots sorted out makes for better course strategy. If 110 yards out, do you go for the middle of the green and make a great putt, or try to stick it close and have an easy putt? It’s a choice between which stroke should be the “hero” shot and which allows the best miss hit to recover from.
Thank you for your excellent channel!
Excellent video. Used to only use 8 iron for chipping but now use pw also on short shots and 56 from furry Bermuda lies. Going to work on the putting also. Thanks
SLAPPPP THE SAND... thats epic.... thanks alotttt....
Thanks Matt, these vids are really helping me
Hi Matt! I recently subscribed to your channel. I watched tons of your videos and enjoyed all of them! I especially like the Jazz and Birdie background music you use!! I planted my first feather today on the green, shot 92 and had 3 birdie chances (did not convert them so I guess the planted feather is in the birdie bank 🙂). I am a 25 handicap. I recently ordered the same Cleveland Smart Sole 4 Chipper and Sand wedge. Cannot wait for them to arrive! Can you make a few more videos with these clubs? Thanks a lot and make more birdies everyone!!!
Great advice and logical playas oriented System that builds up Skills and confidence that can be transfered to the course and Game. I would argue that Most of the time golf is thaught only technical and the amateur or recreational playa is left alone and confused zig-zagging the course. I was a Bad Putter several years ago since i saw phil mickelsons short Game video and the hundred putts 3feet circle as a foundation of the Game and then practiced lag putting back to 50feet. That only gives a massiv boost of confidence to know i can two putt regardless where im lying on the green. Same with chipping etc. i seldom take lessons anymore but i do to work on little technical Parts to improve striking. Most of the time im working out my Game and skills on the course the Playing style. Got stalled with my Game for years like hcp 12 and now hcpi 5 attacking Breaking 75 as a next goal.
You've been talking up the notebook usage lately. When will there be a notebook in the waddaplaya store? 😎
Good idea
Awesome video learning so much..
Dasssssss it!! Smack dat chit!! Manolo collaboration next time you’re in the states!?
Great tips as always. Especially knowing your 50% distance shots with your clubs. Commit and do it!
The 50% feel on wedges is a complete game changer. Takes some much guess work out of it
Brother, this series has been awesome! You haven't changed your message but the refinement and detail is much appreciated. The confidence is building...
If you haven't subbed to this man's channel yet, wth is wrong with you?? Dude's dropping gold nugs everywhere.
Little golden nuggets everywhere all the time
Brother great content and an inspiration in the youtube golf world. Would love to collab if you are ever in New Jersey or the eastcoast. Definitely agree, as someone who doesn’t hit the ball a mile, for me inside 120 is my butter!! Can save so many strokes tightening up the short game
Drive for show, Put for Dough. Just look at Cam Smith short game and putting at the open, Outstanding. Love the strokes saved system.
I learned so much from this lesson
"That's not fun because then you're going be on the run for the rest of your life." This guy's the best
…I’m always on the run. This will help, many thanks. Tomorrow doesn’t come soon enough.
Thanks for the great class master Matt. I bought a chipper after I cost myself around ten strokes around the green last time I played cos my goal is to break 100 not look cool.
I would really like to meet you one day, your vibes are awesome. I'm 24 hdcp and trying so hard to break that magic 90 on my tight home course.
Thank you for the time you give to create these, we appreciated you ✌
I watched this video on mute with just the subtitles. I really enjoyed it that way. 🤔 Took it back old school style, like the OG Golf Sidekick videos.😄👍
Wadda Coach, Wadda Legend 👊😎⛳
5:05 "i'm not on the fuckin PGA tour"--me to myself after every terrible shot😂
I had a teaching pro show me this technique, he said if the pin is in the 1st 3rd of the green use PW or gap. If it's in the middle 7-8 iron & for the back 3rd 5-6 iron. With all shots use a putting stroke with about 2ft back swing and 2ft follow thru. In other words, use the same stroke just change the loft depending on how far the pin is. I still use my 58 or 60 most of the time 🙄. Need to practice this more
58 or 60 < lower loft
I use that Cleveland SSS wedge for everything within 60 meters and I love it. I don't lower the loft because I play on tiny greens with mean rough around them and if I get the speed to push through the grass without stopping, a 9 iron just goes right over the green.
Nice playa. They have some good clubs. Next i will use a chipper too
Hey Legend!! Safa living in Aus. Massive fan of the channel. I have practiced the bump and run using 8/9/P/50 a lot, but i cant seem to get a consistent strike to my landing spot. Its either coming out chippy and short, or hot and long. Please make a Vid on the actual technique to get a consistent trajectory hahaha . Thanks Playa!!!!
Got to say. If titles of CZcams content were boyfriends. I would marry this one!
Well played Sir!
Brilliant. You da man, playa!
Easy game
Chipping like a putt works really well with a chipper - I even have a putter-grip on mine. Not that I cannot chip with other clubs, this just works better....;-)
I was really hoping that was a expo marker at the beginning you put a grip on 🤣
I like to practice in similar situations I find myself out on course. Behind trees, long iron chip, under a tree 100 yard shot with a 5 iron
This is the way
I agree!
I once hit 9 shots in a bunker, all within a minute. It kinda got away from me a bit.
This is a GREAT video!! Baie dankie! 😂
instructions unclear. i bought a donkey - now what?
@@GolfSidekick Eish! Your South African accent! 😉
"...you're going to kill people and that's not fun..." I'd have to agree with you there, Matt. Hahaha
Matt one thing that helped me in the sand and I think you also do (but didn’t mention) is keeping the weight on the front foot. Do you agree?
yasss
sweet spot.
I use the 5 and 7 iron for most every chip of length...Rather that than hitting a really long putt from the fringe. Also the zero lie system is funny as can be...My partners lol when my birds are eagles and the eagles are albatrosses....On the par 3's the birds count as hole in ones...lol...I like finishing under par every round.😅
A bunker tutorial within a bunker tutorial. Mind blown!
inception
Thanks Baus!
Most obliged
You are boss!
Your my pro bro
I am still on a run after years!!!😂
Shave the strokes or the sideburns?
“Im not on the fu*cking PGA Tour I’m learning” love that boyfriend 👌🏽
100% inside 120 yards is most key aspect of the game
Hey man, I love your content, you're one of the best, if not, golf CZcamsrs and the one I watch the most, but maybe don't use the word secret. I know this video is way beyond a quick fix and you take us on a deep dive of many aspects of great golf, but you know "secret" is golfers kryptonite and tricks them to thinking that there is quick fix, and one or two things I need to do and my whole game is going to be amazing. Maybe you're being kitschy. If so, carry on! If not, you know just as much as anybody that it takes digging it out of the dirt, grinding, getting really great consistent instruction, practicing, playing, get your brain right and so on over a long period of time. Saying "secret" even just on your video thumbnails just reinforces the wrong perspective on golf improvement, it's golfs version of clickbait, and worse yet, i would argue actually inhibits peoples progression. Your content is much better than that, it does not need anything clickbait at all to get in to this rich dense content!! just food for thought. keep crushen Playa!
Wadda secret!
One way I think of my 50% shot is when the club is parallel to the ground, 75% when my arm is parallel to the ground
Hey Playa, got a question for ya. How do you play a chip when you're on top of a small hill on the edge of the green above the hole? What type of shot do we go for here? High loft and drop it down?
High loft if pin is close
Experiment. Hit more than one chip
One of my favorite lies, because I don't have to do any work. I just use a putter, give it a very light tap on the line it needs to be on and let it trundle down the hill and onto the green. Unless the rough is super thick, this is totally doable and is a lot less stressful than trying to send it straight up and down with a high lifted wedge. Why waste energy thinking about how to make the ball behave, when you can just let nature do the work for you? Just roll the thing down the hill, don't get cute with it. In my experience, using your surroundings to your advantage is a great way to simplify golf. Instead of hitting a flop shot over the bunker, eat the stroke and chip it to a side of the green where you can putt your way in. Instead of trying to hit a 60° over a 15' tall tree and hope that it doesn't fly off the back, just hit a punchy 6 iron and let it ricochet off the bumps and divots until it finds the green - a punch shot is infinitely more reliable than a flop shot in almost every case. Think your way around the problem, too many people confuse themselves by trying to play shots that aren't designed to work with the course.
6:06min mark, do you VICE balls? Great video
I reckon it's actually more fun to practice your short game...
Matt - I don't know if you have a specific video about hitting from a bunker with very hard sand or verry little sand. I'm talking about a trap where if you hit the sand with a ball on a steep descent, the ball will bounce 3-4 feet straight up off the sand. I can hit the ball well out of fluffy sand. The hard sand gives me a lot of trouble. So far this year, @ Key West Golf Club and Blue Ridge Trail in Mountain Top, PA, both had this hard pan sand in their traps! :( Can you give us tips how to get out of hard sand?
Square the face don’t open the face, and hit the sand behind the ball with the edge of the wedge not the sole.
TY sir. I will head to the course and practice this. I appreciate you
I'd say inside 150 that's just me d: when I used to be bad once I got to 5 iron things went down hill d:
Where did you get that shirt?
