I've come to realize my mindset has been a bigger handicap than my lack of ball striking ability. I've been throwing away stokes simply because I didn't have the golf IQ to take the proper shots. Gen, your efficiency both on and off the course is impressing me. No wasted words with each sentence providing valuable insight. Thank you for helping make golf even more fun for me.
Not sure what I'm enjoying most...your advice...your playing style...or the beautiful courses you're playing on...Thank you for sharing all three with us. :-)
You helped me rethink how I plan a round of golf. I play too much hit and hope golf. i have to be realistic about what is par for me. I enjoy learning how you think your way around a course, thanks
Thanks Gen, another great video! I've been trying to teach a new golfer that score is not important. If you've made a good decision and you didn't score well, that's part of golf...take away the good and leave the bad. Please keep the videos coming 😊
Nice work Gen. Such a great reminder to focus on the shot rather than 'my score' for the hole. Hope your preparation and practice is going well and you are making great connections. Go Gen🙂
@@GenevieveLingGolf as if one could get tired of watching your videos, and often more than once! Keep focused, LPGA is a goal (realistic) not a dream !
Another great video Gen. Whenever you talk through your thought process I imagine numbers and mathematical equations floating in the air with the X-Files theme song playing in the background. I love it. Thanks for the tips!! 👏
Great advise/wisdom concerning par 5 holes! I had one of my best rounds going yesterday with a goal to break 80, then I hit the par 5. Put to much pressure on myself and came out with a double bogie. Ended up shooting an 81. Will definitely take this advise to the course next round.
Even if viewers take on 10% of your course management advice, they would see improvement in their game and enjoyment of the sport. Always fantastic watching. Thankyou
You didn't mention this in the video, but one the short par 5 shot, the tree in the center of the fairway could be seen behind you you when you were talking about the second shot; you ht your number! I love the attitude that a putt is a putt and you take the hole one shot at a time. I should keep bth these things in mind when I play, it'd save a lot of frustration!
Noticed that you used your left eye when you zapped the distance to the tree. I wonder if you are left eye dominant and contributes to your consistent putting.
Thanks Gen, nice idea for a video. I see you ended up being “tap-in-Gen” in both scenarios, some things don’t change! And the wind made you look far less warm than you used to look back home 😄
It’s always really good to hear how a pro breaks down the tasks ahead - and then only on each part in turn to achieve the outcome. Calm, assured thinking - if only!!! (Oh and a sneaky cuss too - been missing those😂)
I'm bad at golf ☹️ I wanted to goto your side of the world to play but I noticed that non locals are like £80 per round and locals is only £5 which made me angry of the discrimination against tourists on a high scale
@@GenevieveLingGolf I looked in Thailand not Malaysia, I remember seeing a local price for residents being similar to £5 and a "tourist" price of around £80 which made me kinda angry because im not a rich golfer and the reason I would go for a holiday is because I could afford it if it was £25/30 per round and not £80. With the flying and other costs it's harder to persuade your mates to come with you 😅😅 Out of curiosity what is the price for some of the courses you've been playing in the USA? I watch "Stacked golf" and they're a couple of nice people who goto thrift stores etc and pick up some really good clubs for next to nothing! I'm shocked at the resale value of golf equipment in the USA 😯
@@mmaranta785 you mean they're paying more than they should do? I don't think that's fair, it would be more fair if it was not 16x more for foreign players. For eg, if I was from Switzerland £80 is nothing... (A simple burger king meal costs £30 in Switzerland) but in the UK £80 is mega money! I guess they only want to attract rich tourists? Makes sense
@@johnnyboy2459 In Thailand the resort courses are much cheaper than resort courses in the US, for example $100 US dollars a round. But in the US, I never play at resort courses, I play at municipal courses which are $20 for nine holes and $30-$40 for 18 holes. The Thai resort courses are aimed at mainly Korean and Japanese golfers who pay way more in their own country. That being* said, the Thai courses are in great shape and I like having a caddy. There are a couple of non resort courses in Chiang Mai where you can play nine for $25 and 18 for $40 or $50
Hey Gen… is it funny that what I noticed most about this video is that you use your right hand to hold your rangefinder and your left eye to look into the rangefinder? Do I have OCD? Ummm… yeah I must have OCD. ☠️🥸

This is the best golf related channel on TH-cam hands down. If I was the programming director of the Golf Channel, I would be giving Gen a call.
👏👏👏 Driver off the deck 👏👏👏
😎😎
Great job as always!
Love that!
Honestly one of your best vlogs yet! Great job Gen 💯 💯💯
Excellent tips, Dr. Ling, and much appreciated!
Haha thanks for watching!☺️

Hi Gen, you made my day, once again! Thank you for your sharing experience and tips
Aw thank you!! And thanks for watching again!! ☺️☺️
@@GenevieveLingGolf as if one could get tired of watching your videos, and often more than once! Keep focused, LPGA is a goal (realistic) not a dream !
Thanks for keeping the game fun..🍺🇨🇦⛳️
Good common sense & course "savvy" ! Always enjoy your Videos !
Love your videos! It makes me want to play more often.
Another great video Gen. Whenever you talk through your thought process I imagine numbers and mathematical equations floating in the air with the X-Files theme song playing in the background. I love it. Thanks for the tips!! 👏
Hahahahaha it sounds a lot more complicated when you say it out loud. When you do it in your head, it s a matter of seconds 😄
haha, idiot..
I hit like before watching...good choice! Thanks Gen, really like the idea of process not results thinking.

It’s just a number based on the amount of fingers we have x 8. 81 is really good though
You make me want to run out and apply your thinking to my next par 5.
Driver of the deck, smashed!! 🔥 🔥
Love your game and comments . Hope to see you one day on LGPA.
Great video that will help a lot of people
30,000 subscribers...good job!
Thanks Ben! ☺️
Legs games is on point!! Daaayyyyuuummmmm!!!
Wow what a swing!
Even if viewers take on 10% of your course management advice, they would see improvement in their game and enjoyment of the sport. Always fantastic watching. Thankyou
Thank you!! I hope it helps even one person! That’d be great! ☺️

What's your problem?
Comfort and control... lets go driver off the deck. Awesome!!!
Good points

Great video Gen. I miss the shot tracer 😊 and the Malaysia courses 👍
Great lesson for playing 5 pars.
Wow you just shot a 29! Whaddaplaya!!👍
Beautiful
Yep, I think too many people leave their brain in the parking lot when they play golf. Go Gen, GOOO!!!
Great thinking and advice Gen coupled with really good ball striking and putting. Whats not to like? ;-)
Thank you Gen :)
Thanks for watching! ☺️
Its so enlightening to see how you think your way around a hole. Great advice! Now, go get 'em in Garland.😎😎
Thanks!! And will do! ☺️
Thanks Gen, always great strategy. My question is what advice would you give on learning to hit driver off the deck?
Another fantastic vlog Gen! Awesome course management advice but too bad I can't hit like Gen. :(
Noticed that you used your left eye when you zapped the distance to the tree. I wonder if you are left eye dominant and contributes to your consistent putting.
Thanks Gen, nice idea for a video. I see you ended up being “tap-in-Gen” in both scenarios, some things don’t change! And the wind made you look far less warm than you used to look back home 😄
Hahaha well it’s much warmer than when I first got here, that’s for sure!!
So beautiful 😍
A puttt is just a putt, is just a putt, is just a putt!! Thank you, I now have that. It is just a putt!!
Are golf courses still open in Malaysia?
No :((
It’s always really good to hear how a pro breaks down the tasks ahead - and then only on each part in turn to achieve the outcome. Calm, assured thinking - if only!!! (Oh and a sneaky cuss too - been missing those😂)
You were very Zen with your advice today 😉
Haha thanks! 😉
Interesting... I just noticed that although you are right-handed, you are left-eye dominant (you look through your range finder with your left eye).
Just think of putts as a putt, not the score = great advice, thank you.
What was illegal about the hole placement, minus placing the green atop a wind storm 😂 (camera audio is a lot better than the ... phone?)
I think it has to be 10 feet from the edge but then there is also some rule about the slope.
❤️❤️❤️

My side of the world meaning US or Malaysia? Haha
It’s like that in Thailand too. Locals play for 33% to 60% as much as foreigners

Ha! My T shot is about 200. What is wrong with me?
Me too
Well done. U take care n drive carefully. I’ve got my first dose of Pfizer
Hey Gen… is it funny that what I noticed most about this video is that you use your right hand to hold your rangefinder and your left eye to look into the rangefinder? Do I have OCD? Ummm… yeah I must have OCD. ☠️🥸
Haha I’m left eye dominant 😅
Funny that you noticed that as well 🧐and Gens sounding more English 😀🏌️♂️🇦🇺
👍🏽
I’m lucky to hit a par 5 in 3
Personally, I like the Driver-Driver-Putter-Putter method for par 5s.
Haha that’s great and all but not every par 5 is gonna allow that 😅😅
If I wanted to make sure to miss the tree in the fairway, I'd aim straight at it.
