After a semi self imposed 15 year break from Golf, I started playing again about 3 months ago...and of course came to YT looking for "tips". Long story short, something leads me to Gen's channel.
When I watch you play, I feel in a Zen state of whipping stillness.
So graceful. Thank you. I hope I can support your journey in some real way someday. Cheers and see you on a big tour soon.
A wee bit more upper body strength, Another 20-30 yards. Then Gen Unstoppable.
Your course management and approach to the mental part of the game is the best. My entire golf game has changed for the better because of your videos. I have watched every one of videos several times and come away with a better golf attitude. Thank you for sharing you thoughts. You are striking the ball at a different level now and your accuracy is awesome. Good luck and I know that so many, like myself, are cheering you on.
Love the maturity of thought here. Very useful.
Thanks Stephen! 😊
So glad you are here in town. We love Langdon Farms. Still cheering you on. Thanks for sharing Gen.
Hey Michael! Love Portland and thanks for supporting!! 😊🤩
Thanks Gen... there is one hole on my home course that has "junk so close on the right" and my mind is saying "I might as well just throw the ball into it" until I got to ignore it and just said oh, it's just 190 to the pin and i play a draw..." bingo... and YOU ARE SO RIGHT-- no-one unless you have a partner in aa tournament NO ONE cares at all, so long as you are polite and don't slow the group.-- they are all in their own heads. So I Listen to the birds, look at the beautiful course and thank God that you are there. My favorite way to play? Alone in the later afternoon with no one behind me... magic... foretaste of Heaven. God bless...Fr. James
I love to fade the ball with the driver. Give me OB down the left and I love it. I'll aim at that and slide the ball back to the fairway. OB right I will go for the draw. Water and sand I will club so I din't go in either.
The key is confidence in what you are doing. If I'm tense I just let go of the club, rest it in my hands and then re grip ever so carefully. If you pump up your forearms with tension and fear you are lost. Get well soon.
Awareness is also important, which is exactly what you jsut mentioned! Sometimes people are so afraid and so in the moment they don’t even realize how much they’ve tensed up! Exactly what happened to me without me even realizing last time because I was so absorbed in the moment 😅
@@GenevieveLingGolf We have a long par 3 with sand left and water right. If I hit 3 iron I can grip the club too tight and hit it right into the water. If I hit 6 iron which doesn't reach any trouble it's usually the best 6 iron of the day. Chip and putt the par.
Shame you have to get old to learn some of these things!
Your best video yet. Thank you!
Hello Gorgeus!!! Great video! I enjoy it so much! Thanks! 😍😘
Great content again, thank you. I really believe you have a great future as a golf coach. Many of us would pay handsomely to have a round with Gen. And hope that just a little of your ability and calmness on the course can rub off.
😅 thank you for your kind words
You are a supremely talented young lady. Thanks for all your valuable insights not only about life but golf too.
Go, Gen

Great video! Golf is a game of inches! The 6 inches between your ears! I’ve been focused on breaking in to the 70’s over the last year. I have recently realized that what has stopped me more than anything is exactly what you mention - fear. Fear of failure, fear of what others think, fear of that blow up hole, that hazard, etc. And to much focus on outcome vs process.
100%. More often than not we’re in our own way!
You are the best. I mellowed out while watching you.
😄😄😄
So nice to see you sharing the USA experience with your golfing friend. Wish you both well.
Smiling is another way of reducing tension. Tricking your physiology :-)
Ah yes you’re right!! 😄😄😄
I always tell my friends that a consistent premium golf ball makes a difference. My friend disagrees and tells me I hit better with a beat up found ball than the balls I bring. I tell my friend that's due to me no longer having a fear of losing the golf ball. Golf is cool in part because it's so much a mind game and you learn to know yourself. Thanks for your giving us your experience and insights Gen. Go Gen Go!
BC you have a 20hcp and play a $4 ball. Play Maxfli straightfli 2dz $35. I play Bridgestone-e6 with a 12hcp.
I've said it before... you walking the course with me would've shaved 10 strokes off my score back in the day. Your calming influence and upbeat attitude are as much a lesson as your advice on shotmaking. You're the best, Gen.
Great words that carry well beyond golf! Thanks for sharing from your perspective 💯
Great ending tune btw as well! 🎵🔥
@@mfluentz1378 agreed, this could carry beyond golf easily in our day to day
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😄😄
Love your work Gen! I thought your softer voice matched the content🙂 Enjoyed hearing your thoughts about fear and can relate to this big time. I appreciate the fact you talked through the issue of fear and the ways to embrace it. Brilliant! You made my day. Hope your voice is improving too.
the most genuine advice for sports psychology
By far my fav vlog of yours , totally what i needed to watch and listen to as i tend to let a bad shot bring fear and tension even blame this vlog has been very helpful
Gen! What I've been doing lately when I have reservations about a shot I'm about to hit is I literally ask myself " What's the worsed that can happen??!" This frees me up so much and I stripe it.
Thank you for this mindfulness golf approach Gen.
Talent, charism and generosity... thank you again 🙂
Thank you for watching again!! 😄
wozers this might be your best video, really enjoyed it
i gamble almost every time i play at my course so its difficult to be calm, always thinking about bad shots, bad scores, forgetting the good ones
pretty much all the advise in this video is spot on
Well said Gen. Truer words have not been spoken. Very much enjoy watching you play, especially when you hit a poorer shot and smile and chuckle about it. Your super approach and attitude to the game is infectious. Best wishes for your (inevitable) success in the future.
I’ve played my best rounds and lowest scores when all I did was stand over the ball and hit , without any thoughts or practice swings …. It’s called the zone !!! It’s definetly a huge game between the ears !! Thanks Gen this helps so much , love your heart and effort !!!!
Mahalo
Video could be titled: Zen and the Art of Golf, with Gen!! Very wise words and a great attitude, keep up the great work Gen!! We are rooting for you!
Awesome watching you play, but what's even better is your commentary and understanding of how you play the game, you give great insight on course management. I think anyone who watches your videos will learn alot from the skills you have .🙂👍
You are the you tuber that I always look forward to watching. In this latest vlog I’ve discovered another benefit!
Your voice is much softer and has a gentle tone to the extent that it has a calming soporific effect on me. If I play it in the background it sends me off to sleep nicely!! It’s a win win for me Gen. Dont get better too quickly, this could be another outlet for you and I don’t even want any commission!! 😀👍
Focus on the process, i love it.
🤩🤩
So wise. Wonderful advice, beautifully delivered. Every amateur should have this video. Well done!
Gen you look magnificent. I hope you're feeling so as well. Thanks for stopping by our country... don't stay away too long. Enjoy your time back home.

I just love your swing. It is one of the swings I am modeling my swing after and in doing so have become more consistent. One big part that I am trying to remember to do is to relax. I tend to strangle the club just before I swing and my whole body tenses up. This video is exactly what I need to hear before I go golf today. Thank you!
Gen - I want to be that happier person. Thanks for this video
You are certainly gaining more strength with more muscles :-)
I love your videos. I think the comment about being embarrassed with your score applied more to someone like you than me. No one but me cares about my score (13 handicap). I notice that if I have a chance to break 80 I always seem to double bogey the last hole😊
My whole game is anxiety-filled. That is all I can count on! Oregon is gorgeous. Used to live east of the Cascades near Bend.
Thanks for you inspiring words. Great material - very Zen with Gen :-)
I hope your throat is better now!
Thank you! 😄😄
Great advice. Will try to inculcate these habits from now on.
I am with you Gen on the remembering a course you have played on. I can talk to someone about a course I have played and pretty much visualize the holes as we talk.
Gen, thank you for your positive attitude. Some of my most favourite rounds didn’t return great scores but were brilliant fun. My best scores come from being around positive good golfers. Loving your videos, stay safe
Absolutely right. Solid round
Thank you! 😄
Good advice. I must also work on my head game. Thank you
U look wonderful, a great insight of your thinking around the course and the feelings U had in college and now!! It’s about letting go!! I look at a tough course and I say to myself, “Let’s Party, U may have kicked my butt this time but I got your number”!!! ⛳️⛳️
Love it! Every round is a brand new round! 😊💪🏼
Thanks for sharing Gen. My wife and I play from all tee boxes [red, gold, and white] depending on what hole we're playing. We are only in it for the fun of golf three times a week.
I love this course, it's about 40 minutes from home and obscenely beautiful. I'm old and play from the #6 tees not the #8s. lol
It’s an awesome course! And hey, tee box means absolutely nothing. Play the one that makes golf fun for you! 😊
@@GenevieveLingGolf #5 you can 3-putt if you're not close. #5 (turtle green) I see your partner went right on by downhill! #7 stay right and hit off the hill.
Great 'conversation' about fear Gen. I used to fear failure because of how others might judge me. Then I became fearful of failure because of how I would judge myself. My fear of failure led me to fail a lot. Now I don't fear failure at all because I do it so often it has become 'second nature' to me 😂. So my advice is - go out and fail a lot. The more you do it the less scary it becomes and the less fearful you become of failing the less often you do. BTW, that course looks wonderful, as does your swing atm.
100%. Even though it’s not fun, sometimes you have to go through it to go past it. True with everything in life 😊
I appreciate the wise words at the end, Gen. Some would say that’s a great philosophy for life and navigating irrational fears.
Great video and great perspective. Enjoyed.
I have been away from the game for a long time, and I'm in the process of getting back into it (private lesson coming up this Saturday!). A huge challenge for me when I used to play was letting go of bad shots and getting on with the next one. Hopefully 20 years of aging will give me the ability to put the past behind me and to focus on each shot by itself.
great advice for golf and life
Ciao Gen. Always enjoy your content and learning more your mental approach to incorporate in my game and learn about club selection for less than full swings.
On a side note it looked like maybe you’re aligning your putter face a little left of the ball alignment line (e.g.putt at 9:48 and some others) and just missed left. Might just be the camera angle but worth a look I think.
Always enjoy watching you play…
Your voice is OK and your English is impeccable!
Another good one Gen, I’m going to take that lesson to the course tomorrow.
Thank you,
You’re most welcome!
Great video. Lessons for life and not just golf..
Thank you for posting your Portland rounds! My daughter takes lessons at Langdon Farms!
What an awesome place to be able to train at! Good for her, hope she does well 😊😊
I was thinking of tension a little different. I tend to tense up and try to really hit hard on my downswings. That tension actually reduces not increases the speed of my swing. Also, when I am practicing and concentrating on a couple of specific thoughts during the swing, I will tense up in an attempt to control the aspects I am working on. The focus on different mechanics can cause a lot of tension.
A new video by Gen makes every day a whole lot better, so enjoyable to watch every time again 😁 no seriously, you're such a great person and player, your attitude and love for the game are so apparent, i admire it. Never let that go :)
And I know i'm saying that again but damn Gen your swing and ball flight are so satisfying to watch!! 😂
I've found I relieve tension on the Golf Course by pouting like a child when things don't go well and then picking petty fights with my playing partners while searching for ways to compensate for my shortcomings by attempting to isolate the groups attention because I am a Princess.
Hahaha I think you’re joking but your comments are always hilarious 😄😄
@@GenevieveLingGolf I'm not joking I am a princess, when I stay in hotels I use like 5 towels 👑👑👑
Great thoughts here. I'm gonna play with more freedom and positivity and more focus on where I want to hit next time out. Lovely ball striking Gen, that baby draw was so good to watch.
So many different nice and sound advice.
Awesome, I live 20 mins from that golf course!
I hope your enjoying Oregon! - AJ (Bandon Dunes Caddy)
Still fighting with this. Thanks for the input.
Wow, you were here and I didn't even know :-( Love this course.
GO TEAM GEN! I'm glad you are well, have a great day!
Have a great day too!! 🤩
Gen has posted. Must be Monday!
Happy Monday!! 😄
Welcome back to Portland. The swing looks great 👍
Thank you! 😊
@@GenevieveLingGolf Great vid and self talk! And Gen you are back in Malaysia right ;)
U truly are amazing. I have really enjoyed your videos.
That shot tracer is 👌
Wish i knew. I would have came to watch 😍
Hi Gen, if I could hit the ball as sweet as you do, then those flowers would smell a lot sweeter. Great videos, I love your positivity and gentle demeanour. It’s almost a form of meditation watching and listening to your videos. Eyeliner or not, you seem a lovely, genuine person and I wish you all the success in this sport.
You're swinging awfully well in this video. Delightful to watch.
You're looking very strong in this video.
I like the change in music 🔥🔥
The Zen master. Great video Gen thank you. Wishing all the best for the future 💯💪🙌
When I first started playing golf and struggled to break 100, I had dreams of failing badly. One recurring dream that I have is I’m playing well and I step up to the tee and there is no way to take a good stance.
I loved that course. U should go play pumpkin ridge too
Coming up! 😉
Fan from Portland here! Still yet to play at Langdon.
Zen with Gen, thank you
I play with people that fear of bunkers. If they get in them they just tense up and can’t get out which self fulfills the fear for the next bunker.
Absolutely! Because their so focused on NOT going in the bunkers but all their brain is processing is go in the bunker😅😅
Well played. I love that course, it is very close to me but a little too expensive
Good thoughts on playing with fear. With the exception of one hole on my home course, I don't play golf in a state of fear but instead play in a perpetual state of disappointment as my actual shot rarely matches the vision of the shot I have in my head. Its really hard to let things go and move on to the next shot. I just need to say to myself "what would Gen do" and ill be in a better mood on the course.
That wasn't a typhoon. That is typical Pacific Northwest weather in Oregon and Washington. lol
The waters off the ocean there are too cold for a tropical storm. PNW rainy season is usually mid-fall through early spring. I digress, but the course looks fun and beautiful! I love the variation of courses you got to play at while in the US. Especially out West where you can get a great range of courses from the desert, valleys, forests, and the ocean all within a few hours of each other.
Also I understand that fear, but more-so as an amateur relearning the game is how I can have a good round or execute shots how I want to within my ability to feeling like nothing is working. It's a major obstacle in my mental game at times where I had no confidence in my game in June and July, but after a good fall I feel great. Of course I feel great and confident in my game again when the season ends in my area. lol
What the hell you was in my area! Langdon is a fun track! I got so many awesome courses to recommend but im sure you'll come across them in the Pacific Northwest!
Tension was destroying my swing and what works for me on tee shot and longer approaches is literally to try and swing the club as fast as I can.
My ball striking has improved drastically. My short game hadn't suffered much.
Now only if that worked for putting...
Good information!!
Gen. Great video with your simple swing again. If you see this, would you mind make a video of what type and amount of practice you do to make you become so consistent.
Great video gen
love your outfit !
Thank you!
Sorry if you’re catching a cold.. but dam that’s a sexy voice 😊😝
Love your video.
My favorite course in Oregon. Gen call me we'll pay. How'd things go on #12 600-yard par 5? The back nine is ALL up-hill par 4's 400+.
I have a fear of hitting gardeners on the course so I over compensate and hit it too far away from them. They also distract me.
Honestly the maintenance workers sometimes have absolutely no fear for their lives so I feel ya! Happens all the time in Malaysia too 🥵
I play the same course every day and there are 2-3 holes that are in my head and I have a terrible time hitting tee shot in fairway. Today I had my 2nd shot over water on last par 5 and I was afraid of hitting into water and guess what, I hit it in the water!
You are good lady pro and good advice, you giving just wish I can caddy for you as I caddy for the ASEAN Tour tournament in SG from Singapore
GO GEN!!!!!
🤩🤩
More front view shots please to see your address and set up, ball and hand positions. Thanks, Great videos
Hey Gen, on the putt on hole 5, you looked at your line from the high spot. Do you think you took into consideration the momentum of the ball when it rolled over that spot? I think you missed it high because the ball was carrying more momentum than you anticipated. Love your on-course vlogs!
On the 5th hole with the 6 iron side on shot. I'm trying to get my hands more forward like you do but it feels so weird to me when I'm used to having my hands level with the ball around my zipper. Your ball looks more forward than mine also. If I move forward like that I end up hitting a pull or pull hook. Just curious of your thoughts on the sunbject of hands and ball forward. Cheers
