Really liked the idea that you said ‘A driver is just a lay up shot’. Made me think ‘Oh yes! You’re right!’ Too many times I treat it as a long drive competition.
Thanks Gen. I really like your attitude about "good enough" vs. "perfect" shots. I think the chase to hit perfect shots causes too much frustration in us high handicappers. Thanks again!
Very mellow vibe to this new intro vs original, sets a different tone from the start. Hole 15, second shot. Good illustration that everyone has to complete the decision making process. I'm vulnerable to being feeling rushed or distracted and not doing so.
The best golf content on CZcams! I hit the exact same distances as you(but I’m way more crooked) and my short game needs help! I’m a 6.5 now so I aspire to have your game! Good to know that you can shoot even with less than perfect shots.
Hello from North Carolina! I saw your video about how you make money. I know you said you can't teach and focus on golf, but based on these videos I'd say you'll make an excellent teacher if/when you are ready.
I kinda liked the old intro...but change is ok too. Attitude is great, course looks great, you play great...hmmm, only problem is your misses are better than my great shots!!! ::)) Thanks and keep them coming Gen!
Another great video Gen! You are great at explaining your way through shots. Very valuable for us older amateur golfers to show the way to score decently, despite hitting several less than stellar shots. Well done.
Great work Gen. Wow you have some wonderful looking courses you play on. Thank you for sharing every shot, thought and laugh. You must be a delight to play 18 with.
Thanks for this Gen! I’m going to try it on my next round. I’m curious to see if it helps my score. I’m about to start a petition to bring back your old intro. We need to see that lovely smile 😊!!!
gen, this is such a cool format. i'm super inspired to get on the course and similarly rate/evaluate my game. thank you! edit to add: just finished watching the 2nd half. if i had a pic like this of me it would be going to all of my friends and family on a holiday postcard! 22:17
Your back nine (if it were my system), would be 14 good shots and 4 bad ones. Total of 37 (good short game/putting). Total is 29 good shots vs 7 bad shots. Gross of 74. The score itself is immaterial. One bad shot - if it goes OB - is already worth 2 strokes at least. I realize now how critical the ff are: 1) The bad shot should still be 'ball in play' (not in OB or penalty hazzard). 2) Short game is paramount - you manage to scramble very well - whereas I would be lucky to get 50% up/down. 3) I should 'know' where to miss - this is very critical. 4) A bogey won't kill my score since I still have a handicap - but a double will (more so psychologically). Thank you for that wonderful video!
Great vid. Beautiful golf course. Just checked membership rates @ Templer is equivalent to £9000 UK Sterling. Shame no golf in England during December due to 2nd lockdown!
I like the new intro - very zen! I've actually recently established a 'scoring' method for myself when I play. I count 'good' shots and 'bad' shots out of the 36 full shots that I hit in a round (putts are not included in this system). I find that if I hit 28 good shots - I will score below 79. Yesterday, i hit 27 good shots and ended up with 80 (one bad shot dropped in the drink for a penalty stroke). This shifts the focus from the usual scoring system of 75 or 78 or 82 - and instead, the focus falls on can I get to 30 in a round or 32? The most I've gone is 30 (shot 74) - but I can't get past that YET. Your front 9 - for me, you hit 15 good shots and 3 bad shots - BUT you only had 17 putts (1 x 3 putt and 2 x 1 putt) giving you a score of 37.
For me to go low off my tee shot length I need to hit 12 fairways and 10 greens and get up and down 50% with hopefully 2 birdies to balance the books. Hitting fairway is everything. My bad rounds are when I only hit 5 fairways leading to not many greens in reg and spending too many shots chipping out or reloading on the tee box. That is the difference between 75 and 85 - hitting fairway. I learnt this in Thailand with all the water, sand and monkey grass rough.
Yeah and that’s why “drive for show, putt for dough” is a bit of a fallacy in my opinion! If you drive badly chances are you won’t put yourself in a good enough position to even putt for dough! 😅
@@GenevieveLingGolf I agree totally. If you don't drive for show you aint putting for dough. Ben Hogan knew that and that's why he thought driving the ball was THE most important part of the game.
Good video, thanks Gen. With you being a pro I understand you need to have higher standards for yourself but I thought you were a bit too critical of yourself at times. I agree nobody is perfect but a 74 on a tough, less familiar course is a pretty nice score for anyone. Beautiful smile, gorgeous course, ball in play makes a wonderful day.
Lol😁 if Gen rated my shots she be giving negative numbers. My good shots may reach zero or 1. I would take her bad shots any day. You are a hard marker!
🤔 I kinda like the intro change. (I didn't hate the old one.) Nice vlog topic. Enjoying your content. P.S. - My only dislike for this video is that it's still warm enough where you are for golf season to resume. Too cold here...I'm dying inside. 😂 jk, enjoyed the video!
I used to worry about hitting perfect shots until I hear a pro I think Rory say that they only hit 2 perfect shots a round. So now I don't worry about it anymore just want to the shot to go semi straight and in play😁
Good video. Thx for doing this work for us. I would have been interested (if it makes sense) to have the average of the rating of the shots (may be with categories). It seems that it would show that you shot +2 with an average rating of the shots that is probably not at 8/10. I don't how you rate a +2 score on that course though.
Thanks. Always enjoy your videos and commentary and your attitude. One question: your stance always seems to be square even on shorter irons. Am I seeing that correctly or is it just the way the video looks? Thanks.
What a beautiful course, especially that 18th hole! Curious - I'm thinking of getting a range finder - how many shots do you think it helps over a round?
Gen, landing on someone's divot definitely affects my next shot, mainly because doubts creep in my mind about can I make clean contact, will I top the ball etc.
The course where I am a member has alot of raised greens. Would you recommend taking more loft (unless you are on an uphill lie)? I do sometimes struggle to hold greens because of this.
Really liked the idea that you said ‘A driver is just a lay up shot’. Made me think ‘Oh yes! You’re right!’ Too many times I treat it as a long drive competition.
This girl is an absolute delight to watch and listen to.
I'm here for your smile. 😉 I miss the old intro already
It will make a return every now and then 😉
@@GenevieveLingGolf as long you smile, I'm good.
What a fantastic vlog. So professional. Love it

Hole 15, second shot. Good illustration that everyone has to complete the decision making process. I'm vulnerable to being feeling rushed or distracted and not doing so.
I felt the previous one was a little bit too loud right from the start 😅 hope this gives off a mellow but GOOD vibe!

I like your summation at the end. I add one, "And never give up."
The trees/vegetation around the course is SO THICK! It almost looks like jungle to me?! Amazing.
I really like this format! Thanks for showing the course beauties!😃
I can see why you included this course in your intro. What a beautiful place!
You are right about results. Wasn't it Sam Snead who said that 80% of golf shots are usable misses?
Hello from North Carolina! I saw your video about how you make money. I know you said you can't teach and focus on golf, but based on these videos I'd say you'll make an excellent teacher if/when you are ready.
Hey chris! Thank you!!

Awesome Gen, You give the best advice......Thanks!
I didnt think you were human , but i saw a double bogey ; it is a lovely difficult course.
Another great video Gen! You are great at explaining your way through shots. Very valuable for us older amateur golfers to show the way to score decently, despite hitting several less than stellar shots. Well done.
Last game tomorrow for a month, at least - golf courses are locking down. Just have to watch Genevieve play!
Oh man.. have a great round!! 😫
Thanks for sharing and it's all good advice...An all too typical golf round that could have been much lower, I know them well.
Great work Gen. Wow you have some wonderful looking courses you play on. Thank you for sharing every shot, thought and laugh. You must be a delight to play 18 with.
Thanks for this Gen! I’m going to try it on my next round. I’m curious to see if it helps my score.

The new intro has your velvety smooth swing, shows your joy of playing golf, but I miss your big, bright, beautiful smile.

Awesome!!
Hey my friend Gabriel is in ur video.. I pay him a lot of tuition fees on the course and I'm still paying 😅
Love the brand new intro... and same here... miss your smile in the old intro...
Thanks very much Gen, the view from the 18th tee is stunning !
It absolutely is!
another great vid, Gen. Thanks

"beautiful double bogey" 😂
Aren’t they always “beautiful” 😂
Had 7 of them today😭
Nice format! You have really taught me to relax and enjoy the game!
Yay!!
The views on this course 10/10

I love your videos Gen, keep it up!
Thank you! 😄😄
Hope yo be in Thailand soon playing on courses like this one.
Many beautiful courses in Thailand!
Love the new intro!!!!
Nice to have your club number and yardage, but I don't recall you advising the loft on your irons including the wedge - would you please?
Love the new intro!
Lol😁 if Gen rated my shots she be giving negative numbers. My good shots may reach zero or 1. I would take her bad shots any day. You are a hard marker!
Alway enjoy your video..it is like field lesson to me .. TQ .
Thank you! 😄
..enjoyed..

Hehe sending you some warm images through my videos then 😝
Can you travel between Selangor and KL for golf during CMCO?
Great video love this format!!
I used to worry about hitting perfect shots until I hear a pro I think Rory say that they only hit 2 perfect shots a round. So now I don't worry about it anymore just want to the shot to go semi straight and in play😁
Haha yes! If we hit many perfect shots in a round, it better be during a round that counts for something and we better shoot like a 59 or something! 😂
Mantap...
Love the start of the video! butttt..have it will be great if youre saying it! but this is great!
Hehe i might’ve wanted to do that and then forgotten to record myself saying it. 😂😂
@@GenevieveLingGolf love them either way gen! 🌹🌹🌹

How does one book a lesson with you? If im ever over that side of the world i would love to play a game with you and Golfsidekick with my friends :)
easy playa can happen!
I like your quest for constant improvement. Perhaps you will return to your original intro in the future ;-)
Thanks. Always enjoy your videos and commentary and your attitude. One question: your stance always seems to be square even on shorter irons. Am I seeing that correctly or is it just the way the video looks? Thanks.
That's a lot of carp!
Nice girl, good game 🤓
Btw, would like to know what kind of camera ( or device ) do you use for record ball track?
What a beautiful course, especially that 18th hole! Curious - I'm thinking of getting a range finder - how many shots do you think it helps over a round?
Gen, landing on someone's divot definitely affects my next shot, mainly because doubts creep in my mind about can I make clean contact, will I top the ball etc.
mid video music is used by one of my favourite podcasts Loadingreadyrun was so funny hearing it here :)
Oh really? Hehe 😋
I miss the guitars
The course where I am a member has alot of raised greens. Would you recommend taking more loft (unless you are on an uphill lie)? I do sometimes struggle to hold greens because of this.
Gene, which shot tracing app do you use?
Do you meditate before golf ?
Bring back the old intro, ignore the haters
Hooking a hybrid, is that even possible??? Those clubs stay in the bag unless I need a serious draw...
Bring back the old intro please.
Gen, why you change intro music ? I like the old one 😢
Because I can’t please everyone ! Haha and personally i felt the other one started off too loud. But it might make a comeback here and there 😉
Ok. I guess the music doesn’t really matter. What matters is i really enjoy your videos so keep posting i love watching 😃
Definitely the best legs in golf. Just saying. 😍
I’m good at turning my good shots into bad results. Not so good at turning bad shots into good results! 🤣
Hahahaha oops 😅
I miss your smile.
Prefer old intro
