Most golfers lose match play matches—and money—because they react emotionally instead of sticking to a solid strategy.

In this video, I’ll show you how to win more match play matches without taking unnecessary risks. You’ll learn the exact mindset and decision-making habits that separate smart, consistent golfers from the ones handing over their cash every weekend.

We’ll break down:
• The #1 mistake golfers make in match play
• Why reacting to your opponent backfires
• How to stay calm and focused under pressure
• The real reason your “must-make” putts keep missing

Whether you’re playing a $10 Nassau or trying to win your club championship, this match play strategy will help you stay mentally sharp and walk away with more wins—and more money.

Who am I?

My name is Jon Sherman 👋. I'm a best-selling author, PGA Tour coach, and a golfer just like you. I aim to help golfers of all levels lower their scores and enjoy the game more, but without talking about the golf swing. I focus on four topics - expectation management, strategy, practice, and the mental game. I'll share some of my best advice on this channel in an easy-to-understand, actionable format.
