Thanks Matt. I used to average 95, I now average 85. Literally just playing smarter, and adjusting expectations - the way of the playa.

[Quartzteamrealty]

Just broke 90 for the first time this weekend and ironically on the hardest course I’ve ever played. Didn’t take any wood out of the bag hit 4 iron off the tee every time didn’t lose a single ball and shot an 85

These videos will never get old for me. It is the perfect combo of tips and humor for me. Please never stop making videos. Idk what I will do if I'm 80 and cant hear you call me a stinky-winky everyday. Apreciate what you do MAtt.

matt is really one of the few that actually give legit tips on how to play and get better instead of "fixing" your game/swing etc. keep up the good work.

Since watching your videos and adopting the way of the Playa, 7 of my last 8 rounds have counted towards my handicap. It has come down from 15.6 to 13.8. No massive jumps but a lot more consistent.

I have only been hitting shots that i have 90 confidentiality with, doing heal up chipping, playing away from danger, planning where i want my approach shot to be from rather just hitting as far as I can. Some of my buddies have called me boring but say "it's not boring when your scoring".

Going to keep practising short game over the winter and try to get down to single figures next year.

Gutted the season is coming to an end hear in the UK but feeling positive about my golf going forward.

Keep up the good work Matt

Gott dayum! Caddie absolutely 360 no-scope snipes the divot repair at 16:08 😅. She's cold for that!

Also, good points, Matty!

Just broke 100, today. 2nd season of golf ever and took to the way of the Playa like a moth to flame. Just have to tune up my approach play and breaking 90 will be within reach. Appreciate the consistency and reminders to stay true to the Way of the Playa.

[wilsonrandolph]

The way of the playa is so good because it doesn't teach you what to do, but rather, how to think.

Thank you for another helpful video. I am confident I will reach 90 by the end of our golf season (6 weeks left max) I started my season in late April with a 118 by May 23 111, 108 the next week. Last week I shot a 96, 95, 92, 97, I am focused on staying out of trouble, using the clubs I’m confident in ( as you have said), I’m thinking positive and will be disappointed should I not achieve my goal. Cheers from Canada

Word of advice for athletes/strong folk getting into the game: if you can mash your over 270 yards, you can hit an easier club 200-220. This is the tee shot you need to rely on while you keep the driver mostly reserved for the driving range. Every now and then, let that big dog eat. You got a wide open fairway with a lot of space on your miss side with the driver? Go for it. Get comfortable with the driver on the course by SLOWLY implementing it on holes that won't punish you too bad if you slice/hook it 50 yards.
Us big hitters are punished for our distance. The reason is simple: the farther the ball goes, the farther off the center line it goes the direction you missed, no matter how small. Utilize your power and put an easier club to hit in your hand until you get better. 220 between the trees beats 290 on the other fairway (usually 😉)

Another great video. Just wanted to say thanks baus for all the great content. I had a 2 month layoff due to a herniated disc and sciatica. I’m back playing and thanks to the way of the playa I’m scoring better than ever.

Just shot a 41 for 9 holes. 5 pars, 4 bogeys and zero 3 putts. Played to my strengths and not to someone else’s idea of perfect golf. Not too bad for a 67 year old who doesn’t hit it farther than 205.

Used lessons to learn from the green back. Able to practice putting a la Matt and now 32-33 per round! Chipping lesson happened just before a Hurricane so not able to practice enough but have a clear idea to use 56/50/8 iron but do use my putter when able with noticeable improvement. Hurricane cancelled the iron play lesson and moved to getting off the tee. Taught how to draw (was a banana slicer!) and now play the fairway and left side of the course 9/10 times. Lost balls from 3-4 per game to not losing a ball for the first time since mini putting! Keep going with your philosophy BECAUSE IT WORKS!!! Ken from Kanada

Even though I'm breaking 80 pretty regularly, these 'higher' handicap videos are absolute golden. Cant get enough. A good reminder that it ain't that serious and not every shot should be an absolute dart down the fairway. I hope my gf who's just starting out will take this content to heart. Keep it up

[EricB-somejibberish]

always powerful, even when you have ups and downs over the golfing year, falling back to break 90 strategies can help rounds that used to be lost

[iviaphilip]

Trust this process, it works. I've been averaging to 97- 105. Today I shot 87 in a new course, playing only 7 clubs off the front senior tees . My go-to tee off club was a Cobra 7 wood. Used driver only once.
Talk about confidence boost.😊

[tommcnutt]

Been using your course management advice this entire golf season. Now scoring in low mid 80’s and had rounds where high 70’s was in reach. Thanks for the advice and encouragement.

[MichaelSisley-fwxr]

When your swing is bad you said use the punch shot or the half swing. That was my last round. I was terribly stiff and never got comfortable at all. Irons as a half shot ARE something I have used all my life. Ugly round. Got out of there at 91. Usually, on my home course, which is where I played, I can easily get an 84 to 88. Folks, that tip is a keeper. Anyone can hit a punch shot straight, anyone.

[aluminumfalcon]

I had a breakthrough today! I shot a 31 on a par 3 course today, only +4. Irons were mostly money, very confidential all around. The greens were heavily trodden with deer prints, duck and goose poop, and pine needles, yet no 3 putts. Made 5 GIR.

I can't even watch this guy at work anymore, I'm just laughing my ass off too loud. You sir are a gem.
