Used your swing thoughts today. 1 practice swing, hold it and picture your shot, then hit. I also made an effort not to overswing. I shot an 82. I usually shoot around 95. Thanks!!
Gen you are a natural, so patient with Julius and he improved his score on the first round with you. You are still very young and have many years ahead as a professional but later in your career you will make a wonderful coach. Lucky those who learn from you. 👍👍
I'm not a golfer, can barely shoot in the driving range. But if there's 1 thing I learned by watching Tiger Woods get a lot of bogeys and leave the green smiling, is that "even professionals don't hit perfect shots all the time." Thanks for the video, very inspiring. You're doing a great job with your channel, keep it up!
As much as we know most of these stuffs, hearing it from a pro does make a difference. Played the video the night before a game and it helped so much, I even got my first hole in one! Thanks Gen!
Where were you when _I_ was a 15 year old golfer? Ohright. Not born yet. But seriously, one thing I learned from playing a few times with an LPGA futures tour player (and college golf coach) - her pre-shot routine was immaculate and super-consistent. I haven't got mine to that level, but it was enlightening to me - and this video proved a good reminder.
I must say that Gen is absolutely correct with her advice regarding identifying the correct target (direction), visualising the shot (clear mind, tempo) and holding the follow-through to promote balance. No more needed at this early stage. Excellent!
I was rooting for this kid to sink some putts! Just found your channel. Instant sub, you give great advice! Much better than many other golf channels on CZcams.
You're a great coach Gen. I love that you focused on courses management. Lessons he will take with him his whole life. His body is growing, and his swing will too.
Great Video Gen, i like the way you keep things simple, that is SO important for students (young and older), well done to Julius and his dad for going the extra step to make the game that little bit easier/manageable. The lad will improve in leaps and bounds, he is still growing and that is a factor.
100%. It doesn't always have to be some technical swing change (although that would help on the long run). On the course, we are focusing on getting the ball in the hole! 😊
I watched this video this morning and just had my best round of golf at my club! I focused on visualization to my target. I knew all of this but really focused on it with every shot, it worked!! Great video!
Amazing how much better he got by just having a better mindset and course management. If you find yourself in Dallas, TX and need a breaking 80 participant I'm in!
Wonderful work! 15 year old boys are full of pride and not always open to help/criticism. Your approach was perfect and you managed to boost his confidence (hybrid performance is evidence). You gave him simple changes that he can easily repeat, especially re-wiring his brain to focus on targets. Super impressed with your coaching! 😎👍🏻
The hardest thing for me to realize as a golfer when I was trying to improve was that my brain had more tools than my body could execute. Meaning I would think of the best possible shot to hit, instead of the best possible shot I was capable of given the situation. Learning what you feel good about executing and choosing among those shots is important, and focusing on the factors that affect what you can control are important. But also making sure a "safe shot" doesn't put you into a situation where you dont have the ability to execute the next shot. Like punching out to a side hill lie in the fairway when you dont know how to hit that shot makes know sense. It may be better to chip to a flat lie in the rough instead if thats a more comfortable shot. A comfortable shot for you may be complete different than your friends and thats cool. Gotta play the best shots for your game. That was one of the biggest lessons I learned.
Gen you're right on, I Coached High School golf in Southern California over 15 years. I would of loved to get him as a Freshman . I agree pre-shot routine, course management and a few small things. His swings alright. He has no clue how or where to aim, his swing is a 80's player! His natural swing is a draw, he needs to Tee off on most holes from the Left side of Tee box to open up the fairway. His miss is to the right, partially because of his swing path, mostly because he doesn't know how to aim! Short game, he needs to learn the Rule of 12, and use it chipping, great for a analytical player. He's a good putter, rolls the ball nice, however he never aims, he needs to put a line on the ball and use it, will help him huge. Using the line on the ball will help him with his aim off the Tee. He has potential, I love he said he plays for Fun. Another nice video. P.S. we have a Storm off our southern shore Named Genevieve getting ready to send us some weather. Thanks again
I agree, he can definitely start shooting better scores with some adjustments here and there. He actually uses the triple track ball and putter. He just needs to readjust his aiming with his putting! 😊
I am in SoCal too Mike, pretty much playing golf full time around Corona, Temecula and San Diego as there is nothing to do with Covid haha. You are dead on with his aim, but I also did notice he doesn't remain stable in his swing which makes me think he needs to balance and plant his feet and work on finishing swing position. Some swings he is leaning back slightly. But he's 14, with more guidance and practice he will be very good.
Anthony R small world. I’m in Riverside, Coached at Norte Dame here. Some of the best players have come from this region. I watched Fowler since he was about 11.
@@mikeoldcoach4280 Yep, Rickie Fowler actually occasionally goes to the same driving range as me over in Murrieta where he grew up. Murrieta valley golf range. Few good people stop by there occasionally but it can get pretty busy at the moment so I have been going to Temecula Creek, some nice courses out this way if you are ever in town.
You're such a good coach on the course based on this video. You're so confident with knowledge of the game which allows Julius to trust you, and your chill vibe allows him work within his own abilities. So encouraging to see this, and speaking from experience, the mental game is a huge step in not only shooting better scores, but for having more fun! I've taken to evaluating my rounds more by how I "felt" I played versus how I actually scored. It's helped bring a more positive momentum to subsequent rounds. Thanks for sharing this process!
I have a good friend that is a Civil Engineer that buys Graduate Level math textbooks in order to solve the problems. That's his idea of relaxation. Needless to say Julius and my friend Jason who is 6' 7" golf games are nearly identical😊 Jason can't turn his huge brain off long enough to hit the dang ball! He plays with a seemingly new Driver every time we play and some mizuno muscle back irons 2 iron - 60* LW, because he loves the brilliant engineering that went into making them. Never mind the fact that those clubs are way too advanced for him. Nevertheless, we have known each other since the 3rd grade and I love him like a brother. Please be kind to others and stay safe ✌🏿✌🏿
Great job Gen, Julius had much better ball striking on the back 9. On the front most everything was a hook but giving him that preshot routine turned those hooks into nice draws. His swing looked a lot smoother.
Gen, you are so generous with you time to teach young inspiring young players and you are so young yourself. I don't know any young professional golf players gives back like you. Good on ya.
Look and see who won the British Ladies Open @Troon in Scotland (today), she was not even a LPGA player, was on some minor tour and qualified by finishing in the top ten in one minor tour event, She played brilliant in tough conditions beating many high ranked women players. Point is, anything is possible if you work hard at your game.
Interesting. I had passed this video by since I play to about a 5 handicap and thought trying to break 100 is completely irrelevant. But, there are kernels in every video, I think. Visualization is something I don't pay nearly enough attention to. Very helpful. Thanks.
His right hand grip is so strong and club face is so shut that he either aims way right and hope the ball to come back or hooks it off the planet. The way his body compensates for his shut club face is gonna give his back some serious issues later on in life
His club path is at least 10-15 degrees inside out. It takes 2 days to fix his swing, neutralize swing path and get more pressure on the left heel. Great video Gen and I know you didn't get into the mechanics, but just wondering why doesn't his coach do that. He has potential to play under 80 rounds with very little fixes.
Excellent coaching tips. There are plenty of swing tip out there but nothing like this. I shall try this focus and hold. It would be good to know what you think is a difficult shot/lie. As an amateur I just think that the ball should go in the hole. Thanks
Great job, Coach Gen and Julius. Gen I like the tips you provided. I will definitely implement some of those in my game. It was a joy to see a competitive youth (who is hard on himself) allow himself to be coached. Julius has the hard parts of his swing in the right place. He just needs a little fine tuning.
I have a lot of the same issues as Julius, often just thinking about avoiding the worst case. This video was very eye opening for me, I am looking forward to focusing on the target and holding my follow through this week! Great video!
Great! content as always Gen, it had to be hard to not give any swing tips, but I understand you didn't want that stuff to mix with the training/coaching he is already getting and mess with his head. Great Job!
Definitely need to try to focus on targets more. I keep thinking of the past bass shots I’ve had on specific holes and let it crowd my process. Thanks for the tips and great video!! I hope I can join Julius and break 90 soon!
Excellent coaching technique. I will agree for most players trying to break 100 its all about the mental game, before even taking the 1st practice swing.
7/7 fairways just by changing the mindset and making sure to follow through. I think I'll be taking these tips next time I'm on the course. Thanks again for your videos.
i play off an index of 5.2, I hope you can also make a video for low handicap players - advice on how to improve mental aspect and maintaining tempo under pressure. You sound like my grade school tutor - very strict teacher - i've always been afraid of her. hahaha. Thanks for another great video.
One thing that helps me is playing with fewer clubs. Having to use a club I normally wouldn't makes me focus on each shot instead of coasting through the round.
I think Julius actually had too little clubs! Haha he definitely needed a longer club like a driver or 3 wood but yes i agree with you that having less clubs can help with decision making and commitment, for sure! 😊
@@GenevieveLingGolf if he is focused on the shot he can't think about the trouble. And the last thing anybody needs to do on a golf course is to think about trouble!
One thing that is not often picked up, and might not be the case here. I wear Glasses and noticed on my progression to a single handicap player, I often hit balls towards the toe edge of my Club. Took a while but realised by wearing Varifocal Glasses my focus on the Ball was changing with any slight movement of my head. I changed to wearing Single Vision Glasses and it pretty much cured the problem and started to hit a lot more shots off the centre of my Clubs, and at the time I was playing Forged Blades. I managed to get as low as a 1 Handicap and often hit sub Par rounds
Amazing video Gen! Julius' putting alignment/stroke was visibly off as well, he could definitely shave off a couple more stokes by straightening those out. But nice job to both of you!
Yup, definitely! I gave him a simple drill with alignment sticks that he could do after but I didn’t wanna touch anything technical during this round 😄
Great vlog on course mgt. Will help me alot! But the dude should not be playing from the Blues - driver or no driver. He's White at best and shooting 100 should be from the Reds. He'll gain more confidence from the Reds, be hitting mid-irons in, and once he regularily breaks 100 then switch to the whites. Ego adds strokes~ He's obviously still growing into his body, so in a few years (likely two) his game should improve nicely!
For a long time videos similar to these always have a pro playing and instructing at the same time which is not accurate as it is the pro hitting the ball, finally same type of video but with a high handicap player. Good on you keep the videos up really enjoyed watching this
Hi Gen! Recently subbed and really enjoying the content :D Particualrly the positivity you play with. Bit of feedback from me would be that the text is quite hard to read without pausing and you explain things very well, vocally. For me, it would be better to have less text, more commentary.
Thanks for the feedback! I included some commentary on the back nine to avoid the sound complains that I've been getting because the audio wouldn't have matched up, but I can definitely see how hearing would've been easier than reading 😅
I was more focused on getting him to hit his natural shot shape (a draw) rather than shaping shots but everyone has a natural shot shape so it’s best to try and play for that! 😊
I only make either pars, birdies or "nothings"... making me one of the most confusing 18 handicappers for others to play with, as its like playing with a scratch golfer and a HCP 54 in one person... I'm pretty sure I'd need some management updates as well 🤪
Rare look into the mental game, thanks for sharing. I had to stop watching a lot of content because it’s too mechanical, thank you for focusing on actually playing golf instead of golf swing
You are right in that you never want to work on a students mechanics on the course. Save that for Range time.As for his mechanics, I cant help but wonder why he has such a shut clubface at the top of his backswing-- obviously causing major hooks off the tee. Does he have a strong grip?.Or is the club closed at address position?....Or a takeaway that is grooved on the wrong path.?..Dunno as we never got to see a head on swing..His swing motion is general, is pretty good .. 1.Once you get him in a better at the top backswing clubface position- AND as long as you can get him to tee off with a 3 wood instead of (taylor made Utility club)..He WILL break 85, not a problem..
Used your swing thoughts today. 1 practice swing, hold it and picture your shot, then hit. I also made an effort not to overswing. I shot an 82. I usually shoot around 95. Thanks!!

I've learned more from Gen regarding pre-shot routine it actually saved me 4 stroke a round. Thanks Gen, keep up the great work!
Well done. You just demonstrated the value-added proposition of coaching, offered by a professional golfer.
Great video Gen - you helped this young man without giving him 100 swing tips. Who knew you are a gifted teacher too?!?
Haha, I just gave some advice that i've learned myself over the years 😄
You are a good teacher and i can see you becoming a great coach someday if you choose this path.
Not right now but doesn’t hurt to help if and when I can 😄
In the future, im sure. Who knows, if i can afford it, maybe i can come to you then😂

After this video I played and improved my game. Only Visualize practice it helps a lot!
Thank you😍
Solid content, Gen. Look forward for more.
Love it...Great to watch and great advise.👍
He's old (and strong) enough now to weaken that strong grip of his. With his natural hard release I'd suggest going to two knuckles or less..

Wish I could shape my shots like this kid....I just aim for the middle and pray it doesn’t slice or hook.
Is he shaping shots on purpose?
I was more focused on getting him to hit his natural shot shape (a draw) rather than shaping shots but everyone has a natural shot shape so it’s best to try and play for that! 😊

You are right in that you never want to work on a students mechanics on the course. Save that for Range time.As for his mechanics, I cant help but wonder why he has such a shut clubface at the top of his backswing-- obviously causing major hooks off the tee. Does he have a strong grip?.Or is the club closed at address position?....Or a takeaway that is grooved on the wrong path.?..Dunno as we never got to see a head on swing..His swing motion is general, is pretty good .. 1.Once you get him in a better at the top backswing clubface position- AND as long as you can get him to tee off with a 3 wood instead of (taylor made Utility club)..He WILL break 85, not a problem..

It's "short sided" when you have little green to work with. Not "short sighted" which is Mr McGoo ... who can't see very far. :-)
Hehe my bad!

What golf course is this?
Tropicana golf club!
My unqualified eyes says his club is way too closed at the top.
Yes, it's definitely shut but that's a swing technique thing that he will have to work on with a swing coach! 😊
