How to Break 80 with Only Your Favorite Clubs 

Watched this whole video from across the room with my new Red Tiger range finder

I would trade all youtube golfers for this one man. We must protect him at all costs.

The accidental hole out was too funny

Im pissing at the way you add more and more sun block as the video goes on. 😂 brilliant

"Last night I drank too much. I had 3 beers..." 😂 I laugh but I can totally relate😉

7:54 3 beers. Buckets of it. My man. Waddadrinker

Advice is tier 1, the digs at other channels priceless.... I have fully committed to Way of the playa for 2 years,and I am way happier at the end of the round.. Thank You Matt..

Great video, boyfriend. I really like the additions of the field goal posts and previous shot feedback. You're the best golf instructor on RU-vid.

Nothing like a hole-out to cure the 3 beer hangover. I've got a confidential feeling that if I follow your stress-free advice this will finally be the summer I break 80.

Good to see ya back, playa. Thanks for being the #1 sun protection man.

I got my first hole in one today, par 3 - 135 yards - PW. Lake Winds GC in NC, USA. I credit my attitude and preparation to your advice. Your videos are fun, relatable, and effective. Easily one of the best YT golf channels. What can I say, waddaplaya.

Just asked your thoughts on using a mini driver the other day, you replied with a list of your favorite clubs and now you're actually showing it in content. You're a man of the people matty boom boom, a certified baus, a confidential chad, thanks for what you do my brotha

Three beers being too much. So true lol. Middle-aged life FTW.

This is the content I need for when I play one of my three full 18s each year. I need to make the most of my limited course time.

I liked how you played the everyman shot to the corner of the dogleg. Really helpful videos, most helpful though when you use shots like the 80-90 player vs your own level shots. 🙏 14:41

So much great advice with great shots and a healthy dose of humour on the side. Love it !

Matt is making golf great again!

I’ve been waiting for this confidentiality!

You are preaching quality golf insights and wisdom! Big up to you brother!

Thank you Matt, your course management lessons are great.

Just played this last weekend and shot 84. It was my first round in about 2 months so I was pretty happy. I had good course management and really good chipping because I brought my TOES (Think On Every Shot) and golf sidekick in every shot. If I putted a little better I could’ve definitely broke 80 👍

cheers Matty another great vid, learned more from watching your vids this last month than 2 years watching everyone possible on youtube. i have you in my head talking me through my rounds with your wise words. And thanks for the bob rotella tips listened to his audio books great listen cheers bro for all you do.

best golf channel on all of youtube hands down. cheers! (very confidential in those 3 beers lol)

Matt, I’m a lifelong golfer with an inconsistent game. Recently used swing tweaks to get some pointers and now I don’t slice the ball. I big egod myself to a 102 last Tuesday, played 2 days later using your system…. Leaving the ego in the bad, playing misses, clubbing down to make sure my ball stays up, being aggressive only when needed, toe down chips and bump and runs lead to 8 one putts… 8. Shot and 84 with one lost ball (second stoke of the day). I knew I had this game in me! I can’t wait to see the scores go even lower

Excellent video Matt! Your chips in was sublimed

Man I love these videos. Thanks for the great content!

Just gotta mention the smooth sax in most of your videos, love it! As always, great content.

I'm learning. Thank you. The tip about practicing 1-2 footers is gold. It is giving me so much more confidence in my putting from all over the green.

Just what I needed after getting back from a round of 88 this morning,,,, The mind will be more focused tommorow when I go back out. Great as always. Thank you.

The field goal posts just gave me a whole new perspective on aiming. It makes a lot of sense!

I'm super confidential now thanks to you playa.

Great video. Love the reflections on each shot

Tom Doak’s “The Anatomy of a Golf Course” - which I think is the book you’re referencing - is one of my favorite golf books among my collection. Other favorites include Harvey Penick’s “Little Red Book” and Dave Pelz’s “Short Game Bible” and “Putting Bible”.

Always makes my day watch the way of the playa the ultimate golf guru.

Always great tips Matty Way of the playa 👍

I’m not sure what “distance control” is. I personally use Distansay

As always Matty..on the money. Great course management advice. Would love to play with you if you're ever up in the North of Scotland... You might have to bring the sun with you 😄😄😄

The progression of your sunscreen is something to look forward to every hole... besides the cool learning details 😎 ... thanks brother!

Love it love love it Thanks matty

Hello Matt. This was , again , an amazing Waddaplayer game. Well done. I hope I can remember all your clever tips. Enjoy the rest of your day and have one more beer. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊🇩🇪

damn I've never even really thought about what shots will create a buried ball or not. Lower clubs would make that happen less so you'll prolly get a better lie in the sand IF you do go in it. Interesting. Always finding gems of knowledge even if it seems common sense.

Man....this guy is the best Playa in the history of youtube golf. hes #1

On my garmin I'm a 25 handicapper , my last 5 round I have it the 90s with a 88 in there aswell, definitely because of this legend I play far less idiot shots, I still duff the odd one here and there and the odd 3 putt, but I'm so enjoying my golf, especially after a fitting aswell as my new clubs are now 2up for me.

#1 sunburn preventer on youtube

I shot my best front 9 ever this weekend. Coming from best ever 18 score of 83, I shot +2 38 on the front. I was a scrambling son of a …. 6/7 up and down saves. Back 9 not so good. But I saw the GLIMPSE! Breaking 80 is close, playa!

Love the vids playa ❤

Absolutely love you and your videos… but for us yanks confidentially is when you kick your ball away from a tree stump and your playing partner sees it but keeps it confidential. Confidence is why I watch you.

Best part of this is he doesn’t mention swing thoughts etc once! All just plotting where you want the ball to be

You are officially a better putter than Mcilroy

Well I used this technic, 3 rounds in a row. First two I fell into the hero trap; 85-86. Third round one hero mistake, focused on playing to my confidentiality spots😏, allowed for recovery on Miss hits, I shot a 77 on a par 71!

The hole out was crazyyy

I'm nowhere near breaking 80 but gotta love watching and learning from the big baus on my journey to becoming a true playa

Would be fun if the 2 handicap you played against the 18 handicap (or lefty maybe) you in a matchplay. Going through the game plan for both versions when getting/giving shots and when not. Lots of matchplay matches played over Summer with some bad decisions being made.

Very confidential Matty boom-boom.

Also useful on google earth: show elevation changes on a path. Great if you never played the course.

“There is no dogma in the Way of the Playa.” Umm… As an internet apologist of the Cult of Confidentiality I must disagree with you Matty Boom Boom: “Hit it high you’re gonna cry, hit it low, get the hoes.” “GIOTG” “Hit to Texas.” “There are no hero shots, only stupid shots.” “We play strokes shaved, not strokes gained.” “We’re still as cold as Rick Shiels’ putter.” The last one isn’t dogma, but I still love it.

I play a mini driver and it is a great club from the fairway when you want max distance and if the lie is good. Not quite as easy as a fairway wood but far far easier than playing driver off the deck.

This is my favorite episode to date. Whaddaplaya, whaddaplaya.

Nice eagle Baus Man!

Thank you for posing this. I have learned a few things from you so far and this will help me to get better abeled to break 80. Not sure if there was someting I missed, but did you substiute a black ball on the greens sometimes? From what I saw you hit a white ball of the tees and from off the greens, but some times you seemed to be putting a black ball. Just found that strange.

Love you Matty l’m still trying to break 90 but tips on breaking 80 are the same as breaking 90

Another belter of a vid. Let us know the architect books you mentioned are worth a read.. cheers Matty BoomBoom...

Dear Mattie… Peter and Rick both bombed out of the Open qualifiers… bad mental preparations. I’d love to see you put in practice your under 80 psychology at the BO qualies 2025… give us hope and inspiration!

20:30 the caddie comment was hilarious

It’s not easy in the uk 😂 Love the content mate

My man, the deadpan sunscreen work throughout the round had me in stitches the whole way! Leslie Nielsen himself would have belly-laughed.

In the hole. What a freaking LEGEND Matty Boom Boom is.

The cone of dispersion! Field goal kickers unite!!

What a hole out, whataplaya

Never seen someone apologise cos he cnt stop holeing out 😂 what a flex

Played with a guy who had sunblock all over his face for half of the round. I wasn't sure if he was a fan of the Ultimate Warrior, or if he was a fan of the Playa!

Enjoyed

You da best!!!

What a mint day

GREAT video again with the added bonus of holing out👍👀

the hole out had all the boyfriends smiling

@13:22 Ultimate Warrior Playa is best Playa in Chief!

Keep it rolling rolling like limp bizkit said. LMAO

Keep it rolling, rolling, rolling like Limp Bizket would say. I felt that 😂😂

"It's me, a tripod, and a phone..." Caddies right now: "Oh, okay. I guess we're no good..."

@golf sidekick, great video as always in teaching people how to keep the driver and reduce the score. May I make a suggestion- you can use the word 'confident' instead of 'confidential' as they have different meanings. Cheers!

All you playa subscribers need to buy a bucket hat from this man. They are so soft and comfortable and lightweight.

the titles of the books please!

I found out that Takomo sells a full set of irons, including the pitching wedge. You should give them a try.

I think you were watching another channel when you wrote this. I have done that too

I’m going to play very close attention to this video. My game is in the gutter right now… swing ALL OVER the place.

glad i'm not the only one who struggles with not aiming at the flag! alignment is a real weak point for me, my body just naturally wants to point to the hole.

Trust fund bros LOL I think most missed that stinger. I’m no trust fund bro, would love to play with ya ;)

Matty is bringing KISS to golf. Lol

I think its safe to say Chief Playa is the second best You Tube golfer behind Bryson 😂😂

Matt I miss you featuring your golfing buddies

What do you get when you try to hit the hero shot?

The Doak book is a great read Matty. Have you read Dave Pelzs books?

Caddie is good.

Just watched the Takoma video of you three playing at night, or a few holes at night. Now it's time for this video. BTW people, you need to get you some Waddaplay merchandise. I get a lot of looks when wearing the polos and I bet they're checking out my ass too when I wear the shorts. lol ...

How high do you tee up a mini driver and where would the ball placement be?

3 beers the night before and holes it by accident. I'll have to give this a try.

That the playainchief doesn't have a sunscreen company sponsor yet is an issue.

"Minnie Driver" - well done, Baus

Damn man, that putt at 11:43 destroyed the whole structural integrity of the green behind the cup!
