“You’re breaking 80 way before Rick Shiels does” 😂😂😂😂😂. I love it

[Gnarley]

There is only one lie that must be mastered to break 80....put me down for a 4.

thank you, Matt.. longtime subscriber, first time commenter.. started playing a few years ago with my retired father and his buddies.. broke 80 earlier this spring for the first time, and I feel your videos have been a great help to me on my journey.. my wife and I travel to Asia often (we lived in HK for almost 7 years), and it'd be an honor to play a round with you one day.. thanks again!

That's a golden fix of golf wisdom for true addicts Chief!

I use more your break 80 videos to achieve my goal of breaking 90. I know that I am so close each round to play in the 80's but I usually score around 90 to 93 because of two blowup holes...18th holes is long haha....

Last week I smashed 90 with an 83!!! On a tough course that was hosting a tournament in the afternoon so the pins were nasty!

Best round ever! So proud of myself!

Been a fan since the first summer playing golf 4 years ago!

I am finally able to reduce my errors and I chip and putt like a boss now!

Thanks Matt!

One the best course management/observation videos I have seen. So many great real world playing golf on grass advice and tips. Thanks for sharing.

Eric is like the Yoda of coaching :-) Love to hear him explain things

Matt, thank you so much for this video. There are a lot of videos on YouTube that say “you gotta understand the lie”. Thank you for taking the time to actually show and explain what the different lies are, what they do and how to recognize them. Pure gold my friend!

[TheJordanWhite]

matty… great videos brother.
I’m learning a lot, usually a high handicap, shot an 82 yesterday… thx

[Cats]

Great help. My course tends to give all those tight lies you demonstrated. Makes chipping a challenge, especially to elevated greens.

Awesome video. The compact sand is a game changer. Stopped watching swing tips etc and started playing within myself and love the videos. 10.8 index and working at it. Golf game this year is way different. Will take a triple on a par 3 and then start a new game where I want to at least break 90 and see how low into the 80's I can go... (and its worked like a jem this year) really like your videos and for the they are more about self awareness which can cost you 3-8 strokes a round. Thanks so much for your wisdom and videos. Dan

Great video Matt showing us how to read the lies and grass with proper club selection, sure beats heading to the range and smacking the life out of the driver thinking that, s what gets to shooting low.

The only Lie I need to break 80 is the score I tell my friends

[lukejuras]

15:40 That makes so much sense. I'm used to trying to adjust with my normal chipping wedge (56) knowing that the ball is going to come out much higher so I have to swing harder compared to a flat lie from the same distance. From now on I'll be pulling my pitching wedge or lower lofted clubs for those uphill lie shots.

[jayfixesthings]

Your content is spot on. I watched this yesterday, played thinking about it today, and I shot 93. For context I usually play in the low 100’s. You are priceless.

[davidedmonds]

Amazing video you are the Baus. This is how golf should be taught, not on a range hitting off of perfect lies and playing golf swing not Golf

[danmcfall]

THANK I found your channel sometime last year and can't thank you enough, I went out today after watching this yesterday and shot an 81, that was with 11 pars 5 bogies and 2 doubles on the card. I would check the lies and it made me focus on the type of shot to hit. I promised myself that that I was going to break 80 this year. Thanks to your coaching, I know I can do it. I let you know when I do. Keep up the great work....

[GhostofEight]

I can't believe it took me this long to realize it. You look like Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

[matthieumanitra]

Matt, thank you. It is probably one of the best coaching videos I've ever seen. To be watched again and again

[benwood]

I am still working on break 100. But I watched this yesterday. And today, I did not break 100. 😅 What I DID do was hit at least 5-10 shots that incorporated reading the lie, per these tips. Most of them went off just as predicted here. I even hit a GIR from 140 in the rough, ball sitting about halfway down, but slightly above my feet. Clubbed up, hit a punchy one to 17 feet and 3 putted 😭

I said all that to say: There is something here for us all. Even if consistent contact is still a work in progress, reading the lie can help you when you do strike it. Thank you, as always for the preemo content, boyfriend.

[dr.danamplifiers]

Thank you very much. This was the video I’ve been waiting for now to watch it a couple times and do some studying.
