The mugshot got me😂

The fact these videos are free is crazy. Thanks heaps mate 🙏🏼

I got a putting matt this year to use at home and practice for 30-60 minutes before a round. I think it helps me with confidence for those 6’ putts. My last round I made 2 birdies on par 5’s from about 5’-6’. I never get multi birdie rounds so it felt good. I’m about a 16-18 handicap.

"Practice perfectly Don't just practice junk." I love this! I had a mentor growing up that said "practice doesn't make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect." You can't expect to go through the motions each practice session and come out better. Baus Matt's infinite wisdom shines again!

Thanks Matt, you’re video contents are a perfect balance of humour, skill & technical support. My own game has improved 50% this season alone thanks to you’re instruction. A true playa

I know he's right. Now I have to develop the discipline to do it. I have made a commitment to learn how to play golf well. If I'm going to honor that commitment to myself, this is what I need to do. Great stuff. You (Matt) are really helping me understand the game. I will say, I really think one has to start with hitting the ball consistently, otherwise playing is just miserable. I've spent a lot of time getting my swing down and now am going to work on some of the finer points. In hindsight, I think I could have put more time into putting and chip/pitch but I couldn't get myself to do that until I had a reasonable swing.

When I started get truly into golf back in 2014/15 I watched tons of tutorials online. Most of them focused on swing patterns and techniques. Those videos helped a great deal, but I found myself stagnant with my skills. Once I found videos like yours years back my whole entire game changed. It was definitely an added blessing in disguise that my driver broke back ~2018, the same time I came upon your videos, because it made me focus on all the important parts of the game I was neglecting. Thanks Playa. Many thanks indeed.

Great video. For years I’ve held the belief that the game is best learned from the green backwards to the tee. If you putt with confidence, it takes pressure off your chipping and pitching. If you chip and pitch confidently, it takes pressure off approach shots. Confidence also soars when you can plan shots to where your typical miss hit leaves you with a shot you have confidence in so you can still get up and down.

My dude! Thank you so much for the content, your bausness and how to obtain said bausness is always appreciated. Simple yet effective tips to improve ones game is why I find myself glued to your vids. Love the mindset, love the thought process, love the golf. If you ever find yourself in Australia on the Perth side, I'd love to have a game with you and few drinks after with a fellow South African.

man I gotta commemd you. 100% correct. I was a regular 3 putter . but 3 years ago I started practicing putting and chipping (live 3 mins from golf course). I would go out for 2 to 3 hours every 2-3 days. place 6 balls all around a hole at 3 foot distance. when i made all 6in a row, I would move to 6 foot (80% goal), 9 foot(50% goal or within 12" and 12 foot(50% goal or within 18". another drill was 6 balls in a row. 3, 4, 5, 6, 8,10 and 12 feet (really helps seeing the line and consistently hitting it) putting is far and away my best skill now. i practiced one handed and with a yard stick to control putter path and speed, as a result I can no longer putt 2 handed. get so many ppl trying to putt 1 handed while playing with me. 10-15' my goal is 1' or less to hole, 15-25 foot 2 feet to pin and 25+ goal is 3 foot to pin. I've 1 putt so many putts because of the confidence and lack of pressure. a lot of 25+ foot putts and inside 3 feet rarely missed. cheers and love the series

Love the frequent higher quality uploads recently !

Brilliant! Dude you'd be proud I've gone from 29 handicap to 18 since February because of the way of the playa!!

Fantastic video, Baus!! Most people don't realize the PGA Stats for putting and most amateur golfers think they are good at putting so don't practice it enough. The best player at my club is a +4 and he spends most of his time putting and chipping.

I just watched your two part putting. Put in 3 nights a week of putting to my 1 week driving range. First time ever breaking 80 and shot 76! Your videos are logical and straight forward. Keep it up and thank you!!!

You changed my game! I thank you so much! I was shooting over 100 and today I shot 87! Next goal to break 80, The way of the playa! One love.

thanks, bro, for the motivation. I never practice putting. I just bought the book "putting out of your mind." I will get better at this game.

Your advice has helped me immensely I’ve recently spent hours and hours working on my putting and now I putt with confidence Thank you

Such a good lesson learned thanks to the playa. I had this in mind Saturday when I played a beautiful club in my area with just insanely fast, huge, and undulating greens on almost every hole. The place is crazy. Anyways, I thought about this and holed a lot of the 5-7 footers that I'd normally lip out or slide past the hole. Makes all the difference in score, yeah..but also of my enjoyment of the round. I was confident over the ball even though I would usually be a bit scared of these greens, at least subconsciously. What a difference in score from the last time I played there. Came 8 inches from my first ace that day too! It's been eluding me for 25 yrs. Maybe next time.

I grabbed bobs book on audible just the other day. Planning to listen on the way to my golf road trip.

I took your advice and listened to both Putting Out of Your Mind and Golf is Not a Perfect Game (multiple times). The following round of golf was one of the most consistent rounds I've ever played. I kept all swing thoughts out of my head and only focused on a target. What a difference it made! I drastically reduced miss hits, OB shots, and hit far more fairways and greens in regulation than normal.

Once again you’re posting a video that’s exactly what I need to hear at this moment. I’m confident that with your advice, I’ll be breaking 80 in the near future!

Playa, this has been a great week, so much new content in just the past few days! I haven't gotten to play much in the last few weeks, so these videos have been a nice substitute.

The first time i attended a PGA Tour event, we watched one green for several hours. We didn't see ONE birdie. After only watching golf channel highlights, that was an eye opener!! The Pros are good, but the highlights are at another level.

Great video Playa. I consider myself a good putter. I think it's because I don't let my brain tell me the putt is harder than it is. I seldom 3 putt and those are usually when I lag a bogey putt to 3-4 ft and just walk up to bang it in the back of the hole. My hcp dropped dramatically after practicing my wedges inside 100 yds, chipping & being confident on 5ft and in putts. When I see a chip or approach 5 ft and in from the pin I smile cause I know it's going in the hole. My swing is terrible but I keep the ball mostly in play, but my practice before a round is chipping and putting. My hcp with your systems has kept me at 9. You're a Baus!

Great comments....putting is key to getting your score and confidence at a high level. Practice until it becomes a natural success rate . 👍

the circle of friendship learn it, love it mine used to be 24 inches, now up around 36

Thanks for your videos man. They very entertaining and informative. Not to mention you’re a great golfer. It’s much appreciated

Gold as always Chief. Thanks for always making great content!

Next level demo and explan Baus Man, this is exactly what I've been looking for. Now I can go to the practice green with a plan and the confidence that it will work.

Love your stuff. I am a 65 year old beginner. I practice putting when we are watching tv. 4 or 5 times a week. Gonna increase it to every day

The OG BAUS/PLAYA! Love your content and you inspired me to start my golf channel. Keep it coming!

Haha I pmsl when I saw that tiger woods picture , this fella has some class fun content . Love it

How are you going to use that picture of Tiger 😂

First round of the year (didn’t golf at all last year :( ) on Tuesday. I will be returning to the WATP! 150PSP and I will be doing this putting drills on Monday AND Tuesday morning before the round. No more smashing a small bucket into the side net at the range before the round

Love it. We try to repeat the sound and laugh.. enjoy it. Glug glug!!

To quote not a scratch golfer, "Get it in play from the tee and tidy it up inside 100 yards!" Thanks Baus!

I worked 2-3 hours a day on my putting this winter, my warm-up before my round are 75% putting. I do ladder drill from 4- about 15-20 feet. I have great make rates on 0-5 feet and above average on 10-40 ft. I’m below average on 6-9 ft. I have no idea which way a ball is going to break, so I’m fine from 5ft in. From 10-14 I have 25% make rate. All my lag putting leaves me inside 2’ and my 25-40ft i’m at 2’. I can put the ball on my line, but if I get line wrong I don’t make putt. That’s why I spend so much time on lag putting, if I can get to 3’ or less I don’t have to worry about line.

Last week, I downloaded the book, listened to it on the way to practice (finished on the way home... short book). Hit 3 footers for a good while. Peaked at 20 consecutive makes (my personal best is 29 from two years ago, probably haven't done this drill since). All in all, made 80-85% of 3-footers. Will go back again tomorrow.

Nice to finish backwards, that way you see nothing but putts going in the hole. 10 to 20 one footers rely helps confidence before starting.

@ 16:50 'There may be something wrong with you' ... had me laughing.

Absolute unit. Thanks as always playa in chief

Great vid as usual! Imagine Golf is a good app to listen to on the drive to work or course as well.

Yaskween! I haven’t shot above 80 in my last four rounds using CENTURY and strokes shaved. -Beast in the East

Great info. I practice putting at least an hour a day

Great stuff and very inspiring video with clear recommendations - kob khun krap khru Sidekick - love your channel

You are the best teacher

the mug shot of tiger was out of this world

Love how you used a tiger woods mug shot 😅

Bro I feel like I owe you a round of golf for all this free knowledge. So please, if you're ever in SA (not sure if you've written us off ;) ) give me a shout!

Awesome video! Putting something I really really need to work on. I will be using those drills for sure. 👍

The photo you use for Tiger Woods. I'm dying.

This guy is awesome

Great information! Golf gold!

Enjoyed the video. Love The Matrix references. Will be doing these drills and keeping my expectations in the "real world" from now on. Thanks. P.S. There is no spoon. 😉

Well done Matt. Great content

Baus - how many putts per game should we be striving for? My average is 33 per round at a 14-15 handicap. Just wondering how many strokes I could shave by spending more time on the putting green.

The one thing I’ve begun doing when putting is to make sure I take my time over every putt, there’s no way I’ll miss inside 3 feet if I’ve taken 30 seconds to mark my ball take a look at the line (rarely outside the cup) and make sure to commit to it. Too often i see mates miss those putts and then wonder why they’re losing strokes

i need to practice my putting more, so i can get some babes 😂😂 i will practice that cirkel drill tomorrow. hopefully that will break 100 more consistens 🙂

Hahaha, using Tiger’s mugshot is hilarious.

Hey Matt great videos! I was wondering if you could make a video on your new approach to putting. I’ve been reading putting books recently (unconscious putting) and I’m having a hard time applying the principles of looking at your start line. I usually have a line on my ball and line up with that but I’m a bit confused as to how to find a small target in front of the ball without losing sight of it as I align my putter head. So maybe you could go through how you do it. Thanks !!!

Love this channel!!!

Thanks Mr. Peabody!

How good is the Tiger Woods photo. Your a funny man!

You are a good guy. Keep it up.

The mug shot ! 😂

That mugshot 🤣

🎉🎉🎉🎉 great video playa

One thing I do with the circle putt clock drill, if I miss one from 2 feet I’ll put that ball back at 4 feet and then if I make the same line from 4 I can keep going in the circle if not then I have to start over.

Great content again. Thanks

How about raking vs setting putts? Practice from one place and draw the balls to you vs moving to another position thereby losing the line? Two schools of thought.

Wadda Life - As soon as the medium sized polos get back in stock, I'll truly become the playa I've been grinding to be

not the frikin' mugshot oh lawd

Jack Nicklauson was a great putter!

What if you plan your putt from where you prefer to put if you miss the first putt…

I bought a putting mat because the baus Matt asks me how much time i spend putting. I’m really good on the mat, not so good on the real greens yet haha

Open question for anyone. What's a good option to realistically practice putting? I try to spend an hour before each round on the practice green because ranges obviously don't have them and I don't have one in my yard

Not sure if it's only me (says not available in your region but I'm in US) but none of rotellas books are available on audible for me which is a massive bummer. Bought golf is not a game of perfect hardcover love it though!

Jack Nicholson 😂😂😂 love it!!!

"Jack Nicholson." 😂😂😂 "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

Matty thanks for the vid.. how many people ever told u that u look like Orlando Bloom?

The pace and line matching is huge. It drives me crazy when people ask “what do you think, a cup to the right?” Well, it all depends how hard you hit it

i play in a weekly 9 hole league with a partner- best score counts. he has no confidence in any of his putts- be it pace, line, etc. on the reverse, side, i am confident i can make any putt, even the 30 footers. my 18 hole putting average is 30.2. i really want to get it below 30. 2 hours a week just doing the circle and ladder drills. circles from 3 to 8 feet. allowed to miss one starting at 6 feet. only part of my game i can count on every time i'm on the course

You need to contact Trent from the ForePlay pod please

Please make a discord group sometime!

Why you gotta do Tiger like that choosing that mugshot lol

Jack nicholson - famous putter

If the idea is to hear the sound of the ball in the cup, then how should you practice lag puts?

Tiger woods very funny lol

I was working between 5 and 6 am

6:28 Can intention be switched to get guys instead of babes?

Prerequisite?

Get babes?? Srsly?? Oh Waddaplaya! 😂😋

That guy is really trying to help. Got from 54 to 7 hcp working the majority of the time on putting inside 5 feet and chipping in that circle. Ball striking is what is gonna get me to scratch one day.. But that's the hard part...

will second the go see a pro comment, my putter was closed at address so I wasnt even giving myself a chance before I even hit the ball

Tiger mugshot 😂

Don’t watch RU-vid videos - lol - I’m watching you dude

Bro the mug shot?!?! 💀💀💀💀😅🤣

THATS the Tiger Woods picture you choose?!?!? 🤣
