I really the way you come across and explain different situations, I have been playing quite a lot of years and still find you way of teaching very informative lol r&g x
Your insight and relaxed approach have allowed me to enjoy a sport that I've loved, but used to find frustrating. Now I just love it. Peace on the course has allowed me to just have fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hey Matt. Why does the club off the tee need to be confidential?
Vamos, Jugadores
Much better with the cap 😅
the ball cap is throwing me off
What’s a realistic expectation for someone that only plays once a week or twice in a 3 week period?
I bought a load of cheap balls, I only use those now, noticed that I really got used to putting with them . I find if I use a lot of different balls they all react a little different on the greens. Not really good enough to notice a difference on the longer shots, but a consistent putting ball has helped me.
I've done a few leg kick swings in my golf career.
I watch dozens of technique golf youtubers… 99.9% of which I don't implement, they're just interesting. But there is only one Playa in Chief who teaches how to play golf (not how to play golf swing). Actually there are a couple others… Genevieve Ling and Brian Fitzgerald who are into strategic mindful golf. But Matt, you have taught so many people the WOTP, thanks so much for all you've given us. Think I'll plant some feathers tomorrow 🙂
Due to the past several videos you've made, where you talk us through the mental process and how to play through the round, I had my very FIRST round ever where I didn't have a single penalty stroke from hitting the ball out of bounds or into a hazard. This was 100% due to thinking everything through and using the safer club when it was appropriate. In 18 holes, I used my driver only 3 times. Normally, it would be 10-12. Thanks so much for the insight. I should also note that I still had a pretty shitty score. My short game was pretty bad that round, even had a 4-putt. First time I've ever done that. Short game needs a lot of work, though, for sure.
I went back to only playing with 5 clubs after creeping back up over 100 after getting close to breaking 90 (92) and went from losing ~6-12 balls a round to having only lost 3 balls in the last 2 rounds and I shot 98-> then 96. I'm hoping to get even closer to 90 this weekend. I hit my 4 hybrid off the tee and it's ALWAYS in play and it goes ~205. Epic. My other clubs are- 6i, 8i, pw, sw + putter.
Been following the way of the playa. Was so satisfying yesterday when all 3 in my 4-some hit driver, all missed the fairway (2 into the other fairway, 1 lost a ball into the trees) and I hit the "safe" 7-wood and ended up left side of the fairway, 98 yards out. Got questioned why I didn't hit driver and answered, results speak for themselves, didn't need to hit driver, play the whole, play from the green back. Hit the GIR and two put for par, shot my lowest 9 holes with a 44 that included three, three putts!
I needed this reset. Back to basics and swingtweaks. I got a hitting station with an R10 in my garage. I am finally getting to the point where my ball flight is respectably consistent. I never realized how much I was swaying off the ball until swingtweaks showed me!
New, cheaper balls are better than old, yellowish branded balls
matty i broke 90 3 times this year
usually shoot low 90s
16.5 hdcp
but distance is a non issue for me
can drive 275-290yds
3 wd 235
5 iron 205
9 iron 153
pw 135 .. etc
should i still play whites or move to blues? whites can be a bit short but im not sure
One of the most valuable things I've learned from The Baus is how to better manage my expectations and keep my ego in check. I would always play expecting to shoot at or near my absolute best scores and would get furious with myself when I mostly didn't get close to my best.
He's helped me see how unrealistic these expectations are. No golfer on the planet can play their A game consistently.
Usga says to take your 5 iron/hybrid carry number and times it by 36. So in my case i take 170 x36 get sround 6200 yrds…
I don’t think I have ever seen your ears.
dude ur making the world a better place. this mindful approach can spill over to all other areas of my life if i allow it. but im telling u there’s a few people that i go to for spiritual type stuff that are reliable u know ur gona get useful stuff and it’s eckhart tolle ram das llewelyn vaughn lee shunyamurti father spyridon and you. bottom line is i want what you have. your calm, comfortable in your own skin and i duno man i just appreciate it.
When you coming back to USA?
Matt I love the new hat setup with normal billed caps
Shooting in the mid to low 80's the last two months and having more fun than ever. Your videos are a great asset to the golf community and have helped me tremendously. Thank you!
This may be the video I attach to my Reddit responses to people looking for help breaking 100. Is it going to be in the sacred lectures Playlist
I like your videos but CONFIDENTIAL DOESN'T MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS, STOP USING IT INCORRECTLY.
I have been watching your videos for several years now and I can say that it has been the single best thing to ever happen to my golf game. I have played for over 30 years . I was struggling bad and trying everything under the sun. Finally after getting my temper out of the way and losing my ego did I finally go from in the 100's to the 80's in just a few months and actually shot in the high 70's a few times last year. Wadda teacher!!!
Second hand balls or pick-ups, thats the answer
Love it, thanks Matt. Great hat , going to grab one now I think..
I think both score and distance improve when you stop trying to improve them. Improve the underlying fundamentals and just let the score/distance be a measure. Trying to swing hard to crush one or trying to force a hero shot for a better score just makes them both worse. Better to just treat them as a measure and focus on making the best swing you can make.
gotta remember that downhill putting tip.
I seem to forget some of these things when I’m on the green 😅
Normal hat Matty is taking some time to adjust to
Caddie no good
Cheap balls is a big one. when I started I would get a bucket of range balls and filled my bag 😂
"Mistakesand"- An old japanese word for landing in a bunker, probably
Of all of the golf video’s on YouTube, you have the best going away. I am not going to shoot under par by watching an 8 minute video! Most of the video’s are hogwash! Here is an example of what you do right, Matt. I hardly ever used my 4 or 5 iron because I never hit them well. Now I do hit them well. Why? Because I don’t hit them as hard as I used to. Your advice to swing easy has helped me immensely, now I use my 3 hybrid, 4 iron and 5 iron all the time because I swing easy and hit good shots. Lastly, your video’s are the only that I know of that recommend golf course management. Using an 8 iron or a 9 iron even when you are 170 yards out make sense because you won’t hit the ball into a sand trap or into the water. In other words avoidance can and does pay dividends! Many thanks!
Hey Matty (aka Baus!). Loving your recent content. Round today was exactly a hundo so didn't break the magic 100 today but… was really pleased that I played smart all the way and know where I could easily shave shots on another day. Good club selection, no just trying to hit it as far as possible, playing to GIOTG rather than pin hunting and playing to my par target not the course one.
Keep putting out the great vids
Your videos have completely changed my game. I tell everyone I play with to watch your channel. I went from mid 90’s to low 80’s in several months, and can’t believe how simple it was to improve. Mostly cut back on making stupid decisions.
Another awesome video, packed with great advice 👊😎
From my experience, coaching is cheaper and more effective than shiny new clubs.
Great video. Thanks for creating the content:)
Been 4 years back into golf and simply put, I am just not improving and am pretty down about it and wondering if I should hang the clubs up. It is very expensive and time consuming and if I can’t improve and have fun then what’s the point. Example, played 18 a couple of days ago on a pretty challenging very hilly course – teed off on the 10th, par 4 hole set on a high hill, fairway out to about 220 with a hard dog leg left and the green about 120 down and up a slope with woods and down behind the green. I hit a 5 iron off the tee, as you taught me, no drivers just looking to set myself up with a good lie and shot 2, perfect right down the middle of the fairway looking directly at the green. I set up and then chunk it, it dribbles down about 30 yards right into the only bush to the left of the fairway. I was just sad. Who does that? I had a nice lie in the fairway, straight down look, and I punch it into the only obstruction out there. I was so embarrassed in front of the guys they paired me with. I love your video’s and your approach to the game, actually yours are the only golfing videos I watch anymore. I plan on doing the swing tweak assessment, then moving up to the tee box that is up by the ladies tees, and working on just punching out of the rough areas back into the fairway. Thank you.
