I have tried for seven years now to make course management and thinking the Bedrock of golf strategy but I realize it’s a mistake I’ve been wrong all these years the best way to play this game is Strokes gained H as far as you can all

The time like a pro it’s the only way if it’s good enough for Bryson it’s good enough for you and I I’m going to show you that right now first thing we do we hit driver everywhere because the it’s better to be closer to the hole all the

Time so we’re going to attack everything because if you play to your favorite shots it doesn’t work so we had a money shot there everybody should play like this even a 19 handicapper let’s see what I wrote down here okay get into character okay if you’re not playing

7,000 y T’s are you even playing golf if you’re not hitting driver are you even playing golf this game is not about better strike it’s about hitting the ball further at all costs so you have to go and do speed training at the driving range hitting two buckets at full speed

And then going home here we have about 60 yards left into this beautiful hole we’ve got a partial wed shot now partial wed shots for majority of the golfers is bread and butter everybody should leave themselves partial wed shots onto raised greens over water especially 25 handicappers money here at Strokes

Gained HQ we know that driving makes up 33% of the game approach play 33% of your Strokes gained but what we like to do is separate the short game inside 100 yards and putting that way they look less important but if you put them together they’re also 33% putting

Doesn’t make that much difference as they say so I don’t like to focus on it much it’s driving and hitting the ball longer all the time that gets me to score better it has nothing to do with putting at all believe me I promise you it doesn’t putting means nothing in this

Game it’s all about distance it’s all about getting as close to the green as you can okay these kind of putts they don’t count the same as a long drive a long drive counts much more cuz it goes 300 yard this is 3 ft okay get real doesn’t count the same though

Okay I’m not crying you crying now my golf spot have also told us that the look and feel of a hole is doesn’t count for anything it’s a social construct in your mind the fact that there’s a big tree here blocking out your fade doesn’t mean anything okay layups of a

Basketball hit it longer okay that’s in the woods but the system still works okay keep hitting it along until you get it right I promise it’s going to be worth it and just know that Strokes gained was not running for amateur golfers on computer simulation it just

Wasn’t um we’re getting there we just have you just have to trust the system that’s all just trust the system come on Matt see I don’t mind losing golf balls damn another one okay the system works I promise but because like you know course management see what happens like with course

Management like videos like I used to make you know it’s pointless to hit a seven wooden play here it’s just just stupid let’s we have to get max distance otherwise we’re not hitting this green and two even though it’s 450 yards you know most people

Won’t okay we got one in play yes it may not have gone that long um and a seven would probably would have gone longer but it’s not about that it’s about trusting the system n stru game there’s an argument that people have whether you should hit driver or 3-wood

Off the tea and driver hits like 49% of Fairways and 3-wood hits 52% of fair rate for average amateur golfers so clearly you got to hit the driver more often I don’t know what a straw man is but he didn’t have a heart booah I got a

Heart I’m going three wood as far as I can from whatever lie I get just get it down there as far as possible Chase my losses Strokes gained there goes another another $5 golf ball I didn’t come here to score I don’t want to play that pet Pat golf anymore

Just putting the ball in positions I like to play it’s so boring I want to come play golf and just I don’t care if I lose 13 balls I just come to hit that one good hero shot it feels so good you know I don’t care if I shoot 120

Cuz that’s what I’m all about okay here we go 128 y with a 48° you see when you get the ball closer to the green you play better I mean look at this short chip that I have here instead of like a loser leaving it to a

Free throw distance that I like to hit stupid what was I thinking for all these years honestly come on Maddie we don’t practice chipping now because we go to the range to just practice driver and and hit the ball as long as we can so that we can always score got nothing to

Do with a short game not all Strokes are equal that one doesn’t count the same as the drives everything I said about the short game forget about it I was wrong I used to say that if you’re your dri’s off the boil or not working you should

Take it out the back that was wrong that was really really wrong you should persist and play through it like a man okay don’t put it back in the bag you got to play through it until you get it right even if it takes you 17

Holes ignore all the videos I’m going to delete them today um all the previous videos talking about this stuff and we’re going to start new from today do you know that if a PGA tour pro is in the Fairway from 150 yard he puts the

Ball as close to the hole as if he were 75 yards closer From the Rough so a 75 yard shot from the rough finishes the same distance as a 150 yard shot from the Fairway now that got me thinking I mean rough and Fairway of social constructs Anyway now I’ve never taken a statistic class in my life I’ve never worked with data before all I know is that there are systems out there that I can use without having to think about my own game compare myself to myself seek any self- knowledge it’s much easier I don’t have

To take a hard look at myself and improve myself from day to day I can just rely on an app who’s going to tell me how to be like the average 10 handicap average five handicap average 15 handicap and as we know in Amateur Golf there’s no difference in skill

Levels in different aspects of the game for the same handicap range so it’s very effective to to compare yourself to the avarage beautiful pitching wedge what a shot now I don’t know about you but I don’t have good days and bad days all I have are more data points I

Live a rational data Driven Life That’s the modern way just ignore everything I’ve said before don’t watch previous videos it was all fooy and that’s going to be the direction of the channel from now on we’re going Strokes gained all in balls deep no more thinking no more self- knowledge check

Out this video over here to convince you even further where this is the right thing to do
