I have said it before and shall say it again, what a joy it is to watch and listen to you. You are obviously a very talented golfer but you also to be a lovely human being. I find your vlogs a never-ending source of enjoyment and helpful instruction. Thank you so much.
I'm really starting to reevaluate my game after watching your channel so much. On most days I would be hitting my 5i as far as your 5w, but I cant even break 80 most days from 6100 yards :( I think slowing my tempo down a bit and really working on accuracy is going to be key for me in 2021.
Gen, I love watching you play, your tempo inspires my own swing. Your ball striking ability is great to watch but you save the most shots on and around the greens, so many tap in pars! You are a putting machine. It is very evident how much time you dedicate to your game. Thanks for making 2020 more bearable!
That app is almost as impressive as your swing. Great vlog Gen! i´m still loving the bucket hat intro shot over the lake. Waddacourse, Waddaplaya, Waddalife. Wadda Happy New Year! :)
My NY’s resolution is to finally replace my 20+ year old irons and hit more consistent yardages with them (longer and more consistent dispersions). I’ll aim to play more local competitions and again improve the way I manage my game and the courses I play. I’m try doubly hard to keep playing with a clear mind (Zen golf) and stay in every shot! Thanks Gen for a all your videos in 2020 - look forward to seeing more of them again this year!
Watching you shoot even par on a 7k yard course while driving it 220 to 240 was masterful. You hit the ball about as far as I did when I played golf, so I know how hard it is to score well when you lack big distance on a long course. Just awesome.
I actually had to remind myself NOT to try and swing it harder! You do immediately get tempted to try and smash it but a little shorter on the fairway is still A LOT better than a little longer from the rough! 😄
Genevieve, your short game is absolutely outstanding! The up and down on #2 was so solid.... The up and down on #3 for birdie from 113yds was tight .... The up and down on #4 was smooth.... The up and down on #6 was dynamite 🧨..... The 2 putt on #7 with that distraction was great focus.... Nice up and down on #8 ..... Super solid par on #9 ....... Awesome 1 under par front 9 , all because of your lpga caliber short game .....❤️
Great video Gen. thank you for taking the time to put it together. Wow, your short game is exceptional and I really enjoy hearing your commentary and execution on those shots. Happy New Year too.
There is nothing illegal about moving those loose impediments at 28:00. As long as your ball doesn't move in the process. Move them with your hand, foot, or leaf blower.
@@GenevieveLingGolf gives me good perspective on how to view the course (when I do get out there again). Thanks for all the great content, and Happy New Year!
This was cool to see how you went about playing these longer distances. And I am sure this helps out just as much as playing from the front tees!! And we can all learn from you just to play our game and not try to do too much!! Happy New Years!!
Fantastic round. Great display of discipline in the face of a loooong course. Only a few mental errors (your honesty is awesome) which is a thing I aspire to
Nice golf Gen. I’ve noticed for the past few months that you’re developing good vastus lateralis leg muscles, which must be due to your gym work. These are important for tennis pros, but lady pro golfers have also been developing these recently too. Certainly helps your core stability through point of impact. 🙌🙌💪🐬
thank you for posting this...gives me inspiration. my stock yardages are almost the same as yours but I have never even thought about playing from the tips. you just showed it was possible and that you are capable of shooting good scores. especially with your great short game!
Wow. Commendable round of golf off the Blacks. KLPGA will be a cinch after this. You maintain your tempo despite the longer holes. We (Amateurs) tend to swing faster/harder and lose shape & compromise strike.... Love the stats and app.
I had to remind myself NOT to hit it harder! You definitely immediately have a tendency to want to hit it harder when you see a hole that is super long but I had to remind myself that being on the fairway is better than being in the rough (especially when you have a wood into the green)! 😄
Well done Gen....that's a long and difficult course and you played it very well. You should be very proud of yourself. Wish you continued success....Happy New Year!
Awesome video and great round from the blacks! I love all the stats and the on course commentary and logic as to why you chose a club and where you decided to aim.
east or west TPC ! having seen each & every of your Ep, guess if ever i visit KL and play in TPC wont need a guide or caddie coz know every bunker every hazard every tree 😂😂😂
Hey Genevieve, you have a lovely approach to the game. You said it was illegal to move the loose "duff" under the trees. As long as you did not move the ball and were not building a stance, this is legal to my knowledge.
Hi Gen, enjoying the golf videos and also the music! Please can you tell us more about the music some stage too...!? Darrle Records and Tiem Thuc have been added to my soundtrack whilst I work on lowering my handicap!
Have a look at shot scope it automatically collects all club distances and chipping and putting etc. Excellent video and explanation. Small river is a stream or creek.
I used to keep stats 25 years ago. Now I just check to see which holes I make the most bogies on and see if I can improve on the holes. Predictably they are long par 3's with significant hazards and long par 4's I need to hit a long club into. Holes that I am unlikely to improve on. So I focus on making birdies on the short holes.
Really enjoyed this video. Love how you assess the course management aspect of the game. For most of us men amateurs this is the type of style we should emulate. Like you I tend to aim a little right and play a draw. My biggest leak is with the driver. Just don't get enough distance compared to my iron carry distances which are comparable to yours. End up with too long of a second shot on par 4's. Any advice for the driver? I think because I practice almost every day hitting irons I put too much back spin on the ball. Usually very little roll.Hitting the driver farther would definitely help lower my scores. Great shot with that 3 wood!
Happy New Year Gen, from a dedicated watcher. Your confidence and skill with the 3 wood is inspiring. So much power and accuracy from those clean strikes -brilliant! The other thing i noticed this time is that your short irons always take a large divot... Do you ever play on hard baked courses where this isn't possible, and do you have to adjust? Keep up the high quality play and content! 😊👌🏾👍🏿🤝🏾
Waddaround! I found myself cheering for you, as if it was tournament play. 27 putts is great and your short game spot on (typical for you). I thought your drives really helped, bring on tourney play, Gen is ready ! my favorite video. My stats would be simple, did I hit ball solid? Did it stay in or near fairway? Did I avoid 3 putt, lol.
Have a great 2021 Gen. I played in the UK this morning 1st January. It was -3 and the greens were frozen. Did you ever play in such conditions. Keep up the great video's.
Great posture great setup at address! You tend to straighten the angle of your right knee in the backswing. This will alter the club path, could be fitness issue, leg strength. Look at Lee6 for example on video. Maintains the knee angle as she loads in the backswing. Just a thought.
Dean if you didn't realize most golf pros straighten the rear knee to facilitate extension in the back swing. Yes you can play without much flex but this is not how the hips are designed to move and will stress the right hip joint. Long term it is not a good idea unless you want injuries and a short career.
@@lltb67 Sorry I wasn't talking about most pros, none of the top 10 players on the LPGA straighten that knee, none. No doubt causes higher stress but not sure how concerned about longevity they are since many are ranked top 10 in the world before they are 22.
Great round Gen A technical point, you have been talking a lot about aiming right but your shoulders seem to be straight so it seems to be your step when you set up. I'm in no position to offer any coaching but maybe someone, more qualified, can comment on that... This is more of a draw set up without drawing, you may be constricting yourself... Secondly regarding your dispersion, and I don't know whether your app does this anyway, I think there are a couple of the shots you need to exclude from the averages - the 18th tee shot for example will skew the average - it was a mishit rather than your 'mode' average. Another interesting point is you need to determine whether you are hitting the ball right or just aiming right and actually hitting where you are aiming. The difference is if you change your swing because your dispersion is right or you adjust your aim because you're hitting the ball where you are aiming....
Hi Gen, another great video. Thanks. Just letting you know, I seem to be an issue getting to the page you shared. May just be an issue on my end! Happy New Year!
Really admire how smooth your driver swing is. Whats your swings thoughts when ur hitting driver ? Are you thinking faster / harder ? Sweeping ? Any differences with irons ?
Thank you! I don't try to do anything different with my driver swing. I think that because of the length of the club you will just naturally swing it a little different (aka flatter/sweepier/whatever you would use to describe it😄)
I use Arcoss, keeps track of score and places your shot automatically with the sensors. Has all the stats compared to different handicaps like scratch or tour pro. I like it but the only problem is it eats up ton of battery from the GPS. Make sure to have car charger after the round heh
Unless your clubs are wrongly fitted, working your way up starting from chipping with the right technique should progressively help the rest of your game! I don't really believe in working specifically on 1 or 2 irons. If they really feel different from the rest of your clubs, consider a hybrid or maybe getting them fitted! (especially if you hit every club good other than those 2!) In general of course they will not be as solid as say, hitting a 9 iron but they should still feel good! 😊
don't you get relief from fire ants?.....this is a great mental exercise for all us! We called this our usopen crash and burn since the USopen was about watching the best players being smacked by the USGA... You need to mentally adjust and not be overwhelmed by the yardages...you'll hit more hybrids and woods....I like to do this once or twice per year when it's a bit drier and my 210 carry drives aren't plugging like now....I love her fantastic turn...ah to be young and flexible...
LINK doesn't work. Really learned a lot from this video. Never try to over power a hole, you don't take bigger risks when your next show is still reachable. Thank you! Happy New Year!
cant speka for this particular app but can definiteyl say the Arcoss on my Cobras have been really useful in getting information without too much effort that does help me plan out my game
You should check out the Taylormade myRound pro app. Completely free and it has ALOT of features, shots, putts, distances, playing off a pro/handicap mode to name a few. and the app looks very well defined. Wishing you a very happy new year ! hopefully I could get a round with you if i'm back im Malaysia. could learn alot from you.
Just a FYI, the upgame link is returning 'Site Not Found' for me, I am in europe if that has anything to do with it failing. Is the link working for others?
HI Gen, i have been your Big Big fan and subscriber since 2020, and so looking forward to meet you in person. Myself and my best mates -TC and Hanson would like to golf with you for 1 game. Perhaps u can coach us on course & mental management, golf etiquette, and some pro opinion on our swing. Bunch of 20+HCPer, Golf lover. PM will do. TQ
Please don’t take this the wrong way because your English is better than any 2nd language I’ll ever know. But when you said river I think you meant stream or creek. We all knew what you meant but thought you might like to know. Stream - A small natural waterway, larger than a brook, but smaller than a creek. Creek - A medium natural waterway, larger than a stream. Often a tributary to a river. “
Biggest Takeaway on this video. Playing back eliminates most of the hazards off the tee. Generally wider landing areas which means hitting the next shot from the fairway. It showed in your game that not having to worry about narrow landing areas or bunkers/water off the tee made you more aggressive. Think everyone can take a lot from this video.
Haha because I had a line to the green like I said in the vid. Taking a drop would've probably meant that I had to be behind the tree or have the tree interrupting my swing. Also I was lazy 😝
