A relaxed mindset does so much for your game. Knowing you could take a mulligan obviously did something great for your swing and your putting. I noticed when playing a fun scramble a few months back that I was hitting the ball so well, and figured it was because I was more relaxed knowing if I missed someone else could deliver a good shot for the team. So much of the game is mental -- which is what your videos convey so well.
Hole 5; 529M. Driver, goes 236m. 2nd Shot, 3W, goes 218m. 3rd shot, SW, goes precisely 75m to 3 feet. 1 putt tap in. Easy birdie, easy life. Love your breakdowns on how you play Gen. You make it look so simple, and so elegant.
Becoming my favourite channel because you're a pro talking through your mindset whilst playing. 7 birdies in 9 is insanely good. I shoot between +17 and +30 and today i hit 6 pars in a row. 8 pars 1 birdie in the round. I felt like a god coming off there even though i still shot 87.
i think you got it right. It seems to be our mindset and focusing on the best shot we can hit...including missing on the "good" side if you do miss a little. Of course, you are putting lights out which helps! Learned a lot from this.
All of us that follow you know what a great player you are. Great players go low because they expect to. This is a great video, it shows how easy it is for you to make a lot of birdies.
I have no idea who you are. I've never heard your name before now. But I did enjoy watching this. Love the positive attitude of learning and improving ones game. Thanks for posting/sharing. Cheers!
Love what you said about limiting yourself. It makes sense now. Ive been playing for a year a about 2 months ago I set a goal to break 100 and once i did it 3 times in a row I did the same to break 90. And when I break each score it was only by 1-2 strokes. Last week I told myself I wanted to shoot for 85 and sure enough I broke it this weekend. First video I’ve seen and loving the words your preaching 👌🔥
I appreciate the mental approach in this vid. The positive attitude and realistic goal setting is something I will try this weekend. Great video. Keep it up.
I've often wondered what was the biggest difference between an average golfer and those that play at the elite level. After watching this I would say it is mindset. Constantly challenging and breaking barriers to achieve the next level of success.
@@GenevieveLingGolf perhaps this is my weird way of looking at things but I break it down like this. Talent separates a good golfer from an average golfer. Practice separates a great golfer from a good golfer. A superior mindset separates an elite golfer from a great golfer. All that being said, I will defer to your knowledge and experience because this is your area of expertise. :)
15:27 Ms.Ling, very nice re-putt after adjusting aim to the left edge. To hit chips and short pitches around the green less fat, you might try 90% weight on the left side and no weight shift. With your athletic ability and precision, you will only get better! You have the type of beautiful swing that enhances the quality experience of our great game. Can't say the same for Bryson's wood-chopper looking move, but his ball flight makes up for it.
Wow Gen! The sound of your shots are so pure! Very interesting topic of this video. True 7 under was amazing to watch. I like what you were saying at the 9:50 mark. It’s like you got yourself in a new zen mindset, letting the flow of the game come to you. Best wishes on your next tourney.
That was a really insightful and enjoyable spectator event to watch. It was pure golf and excellent motivational topic. As usual, you looked completely relaxed in the round and hope it helps you climb up the leaderboards.
Gen, thank you so much for a mindset. I have become an avid folliwer of yours. I first learned of you thru Golf Sidekick.. I look forward to more great content, and upping my game..
Your course management has always been good Gen, Your ability is also good Gen. You need to enjoy your golf which will lead to your eventual success. Love your golf Gen
I loved this video - having this as a goal helps give you a glimpse of your potential. Great for practice days when you can give yourself a mulligan on certain holes. Love your experiments.
Brilliant approach for learning how to play golf. Not many people have the intuition for this type of self discovery. I once had 15 shots at birdie in one round and they were all under 12 foot putts. Unfortunately, I only made 5 putts but had one ace. Could not to this day understand how I could have been so right on that particular time. GBG NO EDITS.
Your Vlog today touched on something near and dear. We limit ourselves. There is a little story about being the little fish in a big ocean or being a shark. "Mindset Is Everything!" You are there!
Genevieve (Gen). It is a very interesting experiment. Why you played so well is that you have the comfort of knowing you could replay the shot. You were also playing one shot at a time. You had long since forgotten about what might be happening on even the hole, just one shot! I like the same idea with par golf. You are going to find out what is really holding you back. A really good thought experiment. I think you have hit a rich vein of videos that examine what is really holding you back, tough replicate with say football or tennis, but golf offers these bizzare opportunities.
Thanks gen, when I see you hit the ball with your position and I'm trying to do so, it's help me a lots.. And thanks for the advise, not to focussing on scores/birdie instead of focussing on hitting the best shots and enjoy every shots, I will try.
Always fun watching that super smooth swing, I think like you referred to Your drive is a lay up then ..... So perhaps the real point is first of all get the ball in play off the tee, if you don't you'll struggle. As usual great content thanks
Wow, what a round...mind set from the get-go.. nice way to learn our own boundaries and try to understand why? place the ball in the right places, driver is a layup, maybe approaching shots can be thinking of as layups for putting to relex those pressure GIR shots..vs hit the green/flag ...i'll try these..thanks
That was fun!! I think you started off trying to teach us about how to find the weak spots in our game but ended up discovering some things in your game. Gen, I can't wait until I'm following you on the LPGA. This is the best golf channel on TH-cam.
Love your mindset and approach to performing better. I'm a trader, and so many lessons here in this video on how to think in order to perform better. Very relatable. Good job!
Second shot on #1 to 4 feet is a “decent second shot”? For me, it’s a miracle! Then again, my “mulligan” usually miss again! Just a couple reasons .i admire your game soooo much.
Great round of 7 birdies in 9 holes! i think one of the reasons it turned out so well (apart from luck) is you had no pressure (because you knew you had mulligans if you missed, no one else around) and great course management (you gave yourself the best chance to make a birdie on each hole). Hope this pays off for you in your next tournament, Gen. Good luck!
For real. No pressure golf is probably the best golf. I was alone and I broke 90 for the first time. Pars and bogeys. A the lucky birdie or two. It was insane. I did one Mulligan on a 203 yard par 3. Made a par. First time on this course. The better you get, the more enjoyable. LOL
Great score Gen. I remember Anika Srenstam had same idea called Vision 54. I had my own vision 72 and made more par or better score even in handicap 1 hole. 😄
I agree totally about expectations. I often think the lower my expectations are the better, A good example is a recent bunker shot. I was so close to the side of the bunker I had to stand outside it, the ball was 40cm below my feet, on a slight down slope. My only thought was 'If I get out I'll be doing well' I got to about 7cm from the hole.
Hi Gen! I´m a male 18 hcp and I really enjoy your rounds as I hit almost identical lengths as you - really gives me another perspective as I always "go for it" and 90% fail doing it haha ;D
This is an interesting experiment. I do something similar as a four ball solo scramble trying to birdie every hole. haven't accomplished it yet! I'll give this mulligan style an effort, see how many it takes :-D Thanks for posting the vid!
It's my first time watching you playing 8 holes and it's amazing. Feels like a fan walking in the course supporing ya. Your win will be sooner than you think..
Amazing video. Love the way you talk about the game, what goes in your mind. My wife and I really like this view. How could we help you to get on the tour? That is where you belong. Wow!
I recently began to view Lady Ling's videos. I wish her nothing but the very best, & she now has a number 1 Fan from afar. U know why she'll make it on the LPGA Tour? Because she trains alone, has the right attitude about herself & life in general, but also, because she has the LOOK & Eyes of a Champion... Respectfully written, Santiago Murillo, Esq-Tucson, AZ.
Hey Gen. Your putting is very good. I watched your other videos for practice at home putting. They are very helpful. I was hoping you might do a video on your putting set up, alignment, where you look when you putt, do your eyes stay fixed on the ball or do they follow the putter and so on. Thanks. 😁👍
Wow!!! Birdies all around. 🐦🐦 That has to be a great feeling, I'm always trying so hard to not get bogeys maybe I will try more for birdies on each hole instead.
Well then go into par 4s thinking of hitting GOOD SHOTS and NOT of trying to make birdies. Birdies will come if and when they are suppose to but wanting a birdie so badly can sometimes cause you to go for "sucker pins" and end up missing greens in bad positions! :)
"I don't know what's going on here guys."
I do. Your talent, hard work, preparation, and experience is all coming together.
and we call it "you're in the ZONE"
...
I probably look so dumb smiling at my screen. But your joy is contagious. Goddess of Golf.

She is so good that the hardest part of golf for her is finding her tee after she hits her driver.
So true!!
😂😂
Agreed 100%. Stay out of trouble will achieve good results
😃😃
Great run of birdies! Insightful ponderings re: the golfer's mindset. Yes, yes.
*But my favorite part? **4:47** sound effects*
I think you have nailed it with this exercise in goal setting. You worked hard to perfect the skills you now have; the rest is all mindset.
Thank you! ☺️☺️

First time I broke 90 (88) years ago, I felt like doing a victory lap around the entire course!
That was a great video. You didn't have to play outside of your game. You trusted your lines and you putted very well.
i think you got it right. It seems to be our mindset and focusing on the best shot we can hit...including missing on the "good" side if you do miss a little. Of course, you are putting lights out which helps! Learned a lot from this.
well at the end of the day, the putts are the ones that gets the ball in the hole (most of the time)! 😄

It was a good day and wonderful weather. Very encouraging. Thanks.
I love watching your swing, so smooth all the time. But I appreciate the focus on the mental aspect of your play and dealing with expectations.
Wow Gen...what a round! I guess the magic word is ..."Give Yourself A Chance For A Birdie..!"
Thanks! Play to play the best shot for every shot! Not play for a "score" 😄
The weather is awesome. It's like you are playing in a dome!!

You are so talented. Nice to know and good to learn how to make birdie every hole. Thanks Ling.
this was one of your top videos imo, i love this!!! mindset and course management so underrated
Golf is such a mental game. Mindset is everything. Great experiment here that worked really well for you. Nice!
Love the way your mind works. Great vid and smile too!
I appreciate the mental approach in this vid. The positive attitude and realistic goal setting is something I will try this weekend. Great video. Keep it up.

First time on your channel, I have subscribed, to me someone who is articulate, always is worth listening too and Genevieve you are heart warming!
INCREDIBLE! What a beautiful swing and great insight to thinking better and playing better. Thanks!
What I learnt is when I grow big I want a swing like Gen 😄 great video
Your Vlog today touched on something near and dear. We limit ourselves. There is a little story about being the little fish in a big ocean or being a shark. "Mindset Is Everything!" You are there!

This is such a powerful episode of Golf with Gen! There is so much for all of us to learn from here! :)
This is a fantastic video about mindset. I'm going to keep your words in mind tomorrow when I practice and on my tournament this weekend!
Always great insightful tips & ideas, keep it up Gen!
“Some days it’s just your day”. Absolutely! Great lesson!
Thanks gen, when I see you hit the ball with your position and I'm trying to do so, it's help me a lots..
And thanks for the advise, not to focussing on scores/birdie instead of focussing on hitting the best shots and enjoy every shots, I will try.
WOWZA deadly with the short irons and wedges...... unreal accuracy!!! Keep it up!!!
Can’t wait to see how this translates for you at your next tourney. Short game looking good

I really believe you are the best golfer on TH-cam. Congrats on 3rd but you are ready to win a couple
Gen, you’ve reached that stage where you’re doing and thinking are aligned your next tournament should be interesting. 🙌🙌💪🐬

Wow! almost unbelievable, you make it look easy! No chance of doing that here in KL at the moment with MCO 3.0
Great score Gen.
I remember Anika Srenstam had same idea called Vision 54.
I had my own vision 72 and made more par or better score even in handicap 1 hole. 😄
Love watching that swing..... and the smile!
-7 of 9 hole… awesome. Bring this mindset to your tournament. Good luck gen. 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Love watching this, feel like I am playing with you (and wish I could!)
Your game is looking really good now! Looking forward to seeing you on the LPGA tour soon! All the best! Hwaiting!
Thanks for the video, Gen. I hope you achieve your dream to play on the LPGA. You seem like such a kind person. ✌♥️
Accoring to Matt (waddaplaya) you need to plant some feathers or use the pitch mark repair tool ☺☺☺☺☺☺
LMAO!
Hahah you are not wrong 😂
Like the aggressive play/practice. Some times it's just something that has to be done 1 or 2 days in a tournament to be towards the top.
My buddy who’s a PGA pro has the 9 hole course record at the local muni we grew playin. 9 straight 3s.
Awesome!!

The sound of your tee shots is music. I feel like sampling it an making it the notification sound on my phone.
I never birdie par 4s smh, I think there's a mental wall there. A very large spikey wall made of ice. Nice idea for a confidence booster~!
Well then go into par 4s thinking of hitting GOOD SHOTS and NOT of trying to make birdies. Birdies will come if and when they are suppose to but wanting a birdie so badly can sometimes cause you to go for "sucker pins" and end up missing greens in bad positions! :)
