    Matt, I don't comment on channels often, but I just had to tell you how much you have helped me. I am 54 and just picked the game up last year. I had played a little many years ago, but never really PLAYED. I couldn't deal with the failure 😂 Anyway, I have used your 'Breaking Series" to systematically improve and make the game fun. I am capable of good golf a year in breaking 90 consistently. MUCH respect to you and your teaching abilities. Your game management skills are amazing. Plus, the ease of your approach. You took the fear out of the game for me, and let me just focus on improving. I hope you get a chance to read this. I am out playing with my son weekly. It has has been a special time for us both. THANK YOU, sir! Much love, brother!!!!!

    Had my best 9 holes ever today, I FEEL SO ALIVE! I started playing in January and this is the best channel bar none!! Thank you for all the great advice, TITTIES TO THE TARGET!
    After starting the 1st 2 holes with a quadruple bogey, I heard GolfSidekick in my head, play confidential. Check the distances, put down my goal posts, avoid the dangers, titties to the target every shot. Left the driver in the bag and then i was par the next 3 holes, in the rain! par a par 5 later and sunk a 35ft putt in front of the clubhouse and a group of old ladies like a BAOSS!

      Yes sir, technique produces distance - 100% of golfers would be better off with a in person coach rather than a video about mechanics.
      Course management is also personal but you can get some quick ideas to hanhge your perspective. All swing mechanic tips on CZcams are junk. We keep it real

    I’d add one more rule, never give up on a hole and never give up on a round.
    Hit a bad tee shot today and ball was close to the lip of the bunker. So following Matty Boom Boom’s advice I chose a club that I knew was going to clear the bunker. I took my 46 wedge. I hit the shot into the middle of the fairway 80 yards from the hole. My playing partner outdrives me by a ton and my ball was just inside his drive.
    We had a game going and I did not get upset. I hit my next shot to 19ft and got lucky and made the putt.

      I find the tips are generally the same for scoring.
      The biggest thing that changes is our skills in each facet,.
      But when it comes to 75 or better, I think its intangibles that really count.
      I will elaborate on them in the next few vids playa.
      I really think we should delve into the mind and some more intangible stuff like lies, mindset, angles, expectations etc.

    I just want to say that toe down chipping is amazing. Saved par on a 120ish yard par 3. Hit my landing zone, bounced once onto the green and rolled out to about 4 feet of the hole. To be honest, it felt like I was taking a hero shot as the bunker was dead ahead from me. If I'd have chipped it like I was taught, I'd have gone over the green and in the sand at minimum.
    I'm a beginner with a 35ish handicap.
