Is Ball Striking or Course Management More Important for Scoring?

- The conclusion is.. on a good day, you can score well without hitting well (good course management + bad ball striking) but, if you hit good shots to the wrong places.. the score will not take care of itself (bad course management + good ball striking). Agree or disagree? 😉

The light purple goes REALLY well with the tracker..makes you look like a super hero...shooting laser bolts🤣🤣
Hehe I just like to match it to my shirt 😂
If you cannot put the ball in the middle of the face, it does not matter?
"Another excellent video." I seem to type those same words after each new video from Gene.
Golf is the greatest game ever!
You’re wonderful - amazing swing
On the short game - believe more get more aggressive and check out how many putts end below the break line - if you are more aggressive that number should come down - miss some high side :)
Thanks for sharing your gift!
18:38 this is such a good point and something that's super easy to overlook imho. you could probably do an entire video on using pin positions to work backwards from the green and i bet you people would love it. i mean, i know i would 😁😁😁
also, i just want to say i'm super thankful for these vlogs. it just dawned on me that in a normal world you probably wouldn't be making this content, or at least this much content with the same frequency. i'm going to miss these kinds of videos when you get back on the tournament circuit, but at that point it will be really exciting to follow you around the golf course with someone else behind the camera. you are the first lady pro besides annika or wie that i've really been looking forward to watching on TV, and it's all because of these fun and insightful vlogs you keep sharing. i genuinely admire your dedication and work ethic, and despite your alleged a-type personality (😉) i'm amazed at how positive you are on the golf course. it's really inspiring!
anyway, to answer your question, imho good ball-striking is nice for the ego but good course management is better for the scorecard. e.g. last time i went out it was to a new course (for me) and i had no idea where the pins were. i hit a lot of great shots (#humblebrag) but found myself with really bad angles into the green on numerous occasions. that i only brought 6i, 7i and putter made this even more challenging to get it close. 😂
p.s. the color-coordinated shot tracer is an awesome touch -- love it!! 👌👌👌
Thanks for taking the time to comment this! Appreciate everything you said 🙏🏻☺️
Stay focused, never give up, make every shot count and if not, make the next shot count.
That's it in a nutshell though it does help to be good too. 😉
Waddaplaya 🤙
A lot of golfers teach technique, you teach the most important things which is mindset and strategy. Your positive mindset is something to be admired. Your swing is so smooth!
Holding the follow throughout the swing is really important because it ensures that the core is active through the point of impact...good thought ;-)
Ball striking vs management is a next level thought process in golf. Thanks for bringing that to the forefront. Always love getting into your head during a round!! Please keep making these vids. I love them!!!
Kualalumpur is so plush. There are trees I don't see anywhere else. This inspires me for my golf paintings. Sometimes I combine different landscapes. Thank you Gen for your video.
Wow, i'm glad you are able to find some inspiration through the videos! It is, indeed very plush because of our weather :)
I think you are right when it comes to full shots. The full follow through shows a full commitment to the shot. When I have hit a few bad shots then I unconsciously try and steer the ball, not trusting to the swing. Then, when I realise what I have started to do, I re-commit to the full swing without fear of the consequences. See, feel and commit. Course management is the one thing I have really learned from your rounds. Cheers!
Great work Gen! I could watch you hit drives all day long :)
Haha thanks!! 😄
I have a much more relaxed and less aggressive approach to my golf game. I am now enjoying golf so much more, thankyou from the 🇬🇧
Awesome! Hope you get to play a little this winter!
Your comments about what golf makes us experience & feel are all so true. Its why i love the game...I noticed the sidekick music too hahaha
😉😉
Course management and ball striking go hand in hand and you shown that as you gave yourself opportunities... what i see is that you are able to direct where you want to hit your ball - reflection of great ball striker...now if a few drives go awry does not take away from the whole round... Managing the course requires you to hit into space, areas that require precision and you are doing this....Golf is about performing less about conscious thoughts -as you play:perform you are on autopilot a practice swing is a rehearsal why should there be a thought? My point is you are highly skilled... you know your miss, the cause n effect and hopefully how to adjust if need be...I liked in other videos that you went with your instincts, intuition - expand that develop that - instead of thought..someone with your skill level does not need to think what to do other than just react..that is my impression....cheers
Honestly my best golf memories are playing with strangers. It's the best combination of sports and socializing
That's why golf is great! ☺️
Hey, you stole my swing thought! Thinking my way around the course always seems to save me from my horrible ball strikes. I usually get into trouble when I'm playing with friends and hit without a plan.
😉 it's a good one! Hehe
Ball striking and course management work together. To say one is more important than the other is just simplification. It's the same as the mental vs physical, it's 100% of both.
For me, ball striking is more important. If I am striking well, that generally means my alignment/aim are better. Good ball striking means the shot is more likely to be on the intended line though it can go short/long of the landing zone. However, good ball striking generally means that there is less course management needed. If I am striking well and need 155y, out comes the 8i - no questions, no overthinking, etc. Go for the intended target and there will be less to manage if you strike it clean. With regards to holding the follow through, it is generally a sign of swinging Through The Ball instead of swinging At The Ball. Getting to the point where you can hold the finish means you hit nearly every check point in the swing.
Course management is the key. If you don't break scoring rules, like being short sided or losing shots of the tee, then you will still score well. You don't have to hit it perfect to score if you manage the course well.
From my experience, there are only two things you can really think about and change in your swing: where you start and where you finish. The dynamic portion of the swing in between those two points are all about practice. Thinking about the focuses your mind in maintaining good balance through the stroke.
In terms of what's more important, I think it depends on where your game is. As a mid-teens handicap golfer, I know my ball striking is not the best. So, I think course management for me is more important, as I need to avoid mistakes in club choice or aim that leave in places I can't recover from easily. maybe as I improve and can hit more shots from any given spot on the course, management will be less important.
Once again, another fun video Gen! My two cents are: Course management is an extremely important part of golf, however it is next level. Once you can sail the ship (good ball striking) you can now focus on plotting the smartest course (good course management). I just love planning out my shot like a boss and then entertaining everybody by topping the ball 20 yards or almost smoking the beer-cart. 😂😂😂

It takes so much discipline Gen Gen! I played Kota Seriemas last week with a Professional and found myself in the trees on one of the holes. He told me to punch the ball out into the fairway. What did I do? I tried to go for the green and ended up in even more trouble. I’m a 19 handicap and will not improve until I learn to manage the course. Thanks for posting this.
Holding finish tends to make you swing through the ball with a full release. Beautiful!
The best vlogs, genuinely worth following.
Your train of thought in this vlog convinced me that good course management ultimately matters more for scoring.
You can't run away from course management! Everyone needs it :)
Great video. Course management is so important. I have been trying to improve it in my game. It is actually harder than learning a new golf swing! Keep up the good work Gen.
Holding your pose is sooooo right! I know when I don’t I have bad swings, I know I’m swinging too fast
Balance is everything!
@@GenevieveLingGolf I found that out today! I really give it to you pros 👌cos you explain it in reality if you know what I mean 😀
I think a good ball striking is a first step in golf, course management is advance level. U wouldnt swing ur first shot on the golf course if u never played golf b4, so hit the ball solid is important, after the range session then we can talk course management
Great ball striking Gen! When you aimed up correctly the birdies arrived! Super Vlog as always! ❤
Thanks Martin!
@@GenevieveLingGolf I think I need to start writing down my numbers, like you do (shots/distances/FIR/GIR)... because I'm blowing up in our weekend club competitions. Mentally, it's starting to get to me & I'm waiting for it to happen instead of just playing🙈😕
Good ball striking, good course management and good luck all go hand in hand for good scoring in golf. Without good ball striking you cannot put the ball where you need it for good course management and vice versa.
Thanks Gen
Your slow motions are awesome!!
Keep up the good work Gen! 😊
Thanks Johnny! 😄
love your easy going SWING of ball striking THROUGH the ball !....trying to emulate it. Yes agree course management whether in tournament or casual golf is very important , it helps in the overall game/round.
I really like your attitude - I learn something with every video you share. Thank you - keep sharing your golf wisdom
That's amazing! Thank you!
This is fantastic. I love how it was all mental. There was no mechanical analysis. Hoping to take this to the course soon. Also I copied your pre shot routine. Works wonders.
I think it depends on ball striking. If you are drop kicking and topping the ball for only like 30-40 yards, then course management wouldn't matter since it's taking you 5 shots just to be near the green. Trust me, I've been there a lot. When I do hit the ball somewhat well and get it going for some distance, then I play course management. Otherwise I can think logically, as in lets lay it up in front of a pond then hit it onto the green. But your striking sucks so much you lay it up easily, then strike it in the water. Twice. I get why Gen and Sidekick say management first, but both consistently get the ball moving. Even on a bad day. For many players who slice it out of bounds, or top it for 30 yards, or hook it into a creek, it doesn't matter since you are losing strokes by gaining minimal distance.
lots of facts about play the course not to let the course play you. I have managed to be in the 80"s just by being below the hole and having up-hill lies along the way (nice legs)
Good ball striking to the correct position to make the next shot easier to attack. This is my approach.
that ending was AMAZING, Gen..
Thanks Rob!
I look at every shot as a lay-up just like on a pool table. Of course I am not succesfull evey time, but it helps me trust my swing and consequently focus better since I feel a lay up is always more or less an easy shot,....like a lay-up.
19:19 music reminds me of golf sidekick hahaha. Gens had some influence from him!
I never hear the tuba in Gen's videos!
Come on Gen...you can't sneak that waddaplaya music in there at the end without us catching it! :) Enjoy your golf as usual and would love to swing it half as good as you !
As Justin Thomas says (I think it was him & I may be paraphrasing a bit) "the game is golf...not golf swing".
YES!!
I really like your vlog, you present it so well, thanks. The lessons from this one are so familiar - many times I have started rounds with one aim in mind, and completely changed them after a few holes. I really agree about course management its the must have - keep putting these out there
I've noticed that as well. I usually hit a better shot holding the follow through.
Maybe it's because turning through the ball better.
Whatever it is, there's no harm so might as well do it right 😉
Yes for course management, my first time breaking 80 I didnt hit a driver all day. All 7 Irons + chipping and putting. Cant even replicate that now smh
Then you wonder why you have 14 clubs in the bag 🤷🏻♀️😂
@@GenevieveLingGolf You should see my bag now lol after snapping my 5 iron im down to 10 clubs ahahaha
Driver
3 hybrid
6-PW
SW/LW
Putter
I'll be switching to a sunday bag soon!
19:14 - Still more steely-eyed focus from Gen. Construction noises, gunplay in the distance...doesn't matter. She's unshakeable!
Hahahah 😝
Thanks for including some slow motion swings. I think they were all with driver and it would be helpful to show some DTL iron swings in slow motion too.
Thank you for using Artline ball template......👍👍👍
Love watching those slo mo shots.
I completely agree. Some of my best scores are rounds I felt I didn't hit the ball great
Rather be lucky than good 🤷🏻♀️😅
What a magnificent and athletic swing
If you can hold your finish to me it says your rhythm, tempo and balance are interacting properly. And as you pointed out, commitment to the shot.
Don't think too much. Zone in zone out.
I just love your videos!
You're so good. Bet you can beat any LPGA players.
On a good day, probably 😝
Jmac is the poster child for holding the follow thru...I only wish I could get into these positions in my follow thru...I look like an 80 year old palmer...lol
When I hit shots to a bad spot, I use the Seve approach to recover. Play with imagination.
I love the look on your face when you hear FOREEEEEEEE!...
You appear to be well practised with your golf game Gen. Now wondering when you will be returning to tournament play?😊
Can't wait to compete again but don't know when that will be for now :(
Any chance you can show your scorecard at the end of your round? So much fun to watch and hear your thought process. Amazing how consistent you strike each shot!
Golf sidekick finish. 😜
Great video. 👍
If you have great ball striking who needs course management!
Haha well, if you hit it in the wrong spots, you will still find it hard to score even if your ball striking is amazing on that day. You will still score decently but without course management, going really low is still going to be really hard🤷🏻♀️
You would think that hitting the ball well tee to green would automatically lead to better scores but my experience is that that isn't always the case. I have had good scores and slapped the ball all over the place tee to green and not so good scores and hit the ball well tee to green. When do your tournaments begin?
Exactly! You could hit it well and hit it to all the wrong places! Unfortunately, no idea yet.. :(
Comment added for the CZcams algorithm. 😁
IT is very helpful for me to improving my game. Thanks.
Golf is an easy game, but hard to play 🤧😄
Hey Gen, so how do you mark your golf ball? I assume you put a smiley face on it :) but that's just a guess. Also that is a pro golfers tool you use to mark your ball... Much better than the cheap plastic thing I use to put a line on my ball.
Great Video as usual. Can u recommend a marker where you dont get the marker on your irons?
Haha I just go with the usual Sharpie and wipe down my irons often 😅
Great vlog. Just wondering, do you maintain significant pressure on your lead foot on the backswing? Impression I am getting watching some of the slomo faceon views.
Course Management over ball striking. I can hit my shot out of the rough better than you can out of the water.
Thank you
I can watch you all day long, I would love for you teach me, and show me the ropes - You Hears Me..
Fabulous video, beautiful swing and great golf plus message. Also, what is your putter?
Scotty Phantom 5.5X!
1845 can you explain why the position is bad for the front pin position?
Awesome end vid music,, what is it?
Par 3 15th was the wrong club
Golf is hard but u makem seem easy
There is something more assertive in your swing, not being a coach not sure what though. Have you gained more distance and accuracy with driver? Did the round without the tech have a lasting effect? But your game looks great!
Can you tell how well you hit a drive by where your tee flies off to? I know if mine goes forward, it was no good, but if it spirals backwards, it was a good one. Weird question, I know! I noticed in your last vid, your tee was going all over the place and your drives weren’t as consistent as usual.
Hi. Am I correct that you always play a square stance?
Do you always used 52 or 58 for bunker shot? Do you open the club face half or full?
Where can I watch you in real tournament play please ty.
Lovebyour channel! Easy to understand and easy to be applied towards my gameplay! Goodluck! Wish i can play with u haha hcp15
Would you not say that holding the follow through is just a result of making a good swing though?
Yeah but I don't think (unless you were told to) that you necessarily just hold your follow through on every shot. most of the time, once the ball is gone, the ball is gone! 🤷🏻♀️ I know personally, half the time i never really see my ball all the way till it lands! Haha
@@GenevieveLingGolf Yeah I think swing thoughts are weird. Sometimes they help but I think they hurt as well. Like if I hit a great shot I will remember the feeling I had such as, 'It's all left arm.' Then I try and replicate that feeling but its just not the same but if I just focused on the shot the feeling would come as a result of hitting a good one.
Great videos ! Qq, why does it seem like your flights always have 5 players ?
It's 1 caddy!
On hole 15 after your drop what’s your favorite club to use around the green like that?
Around the greens I usually use a 58!
@@GenevieveLingGolf you’re the best! I like when you and golf sidekick do vids together 🏌🏽♂️
