Most other channels don't reach your verbal communication forte. Thanks for this insight into simple stat keeping and how thinking (even after the game) is needed for higher level golf.
Your swing is 👌. I have watched so many slo mo videos of your swing on Instagram trying to sort mine out. Recently getting back into golf again after many years out. Really enjoying your videos and golf sidekick, appreciate the effort 👍
Thanks Gen, really like the voice over commentary and the course management skills you show us! Good to see Michele Low also (both on your channel and the Sidekick's). With all the mental and course management I'm getting, all I need now is to improve my shot consistency :) Keep up the great work!
Glad the intro is back, it shows some awesome swings! You do have the best swing (and the best attitude), can't wait to see you at the LPGA Founders Cup here in sunny AZ! One day!
Really excellent content. This is focusing all your abilities....years of golf experience, 4 years of college golf, and your time on Asian tours as well.....looking at hole by hole execution and areas for improvement. A real pros approach to the work great positioning for developing your channel, you as a pro golfer, and me as an amateur. So much to learn in these vids of yours. Proper serious golf content.
I love this - will definitely start doing this on my next rounds. Only started using a trackman range, so this is a good addition to knowing your numbers on the course
Thanks for reviewing stats that you keep. I have found that useful too. One other stat that I have kept is seeing the after image of the ball after striking the putt. That teaches focus on the ball. If you don't know what that is, see Fred Shoemaker, Extraordinary Golf.
Great vidio. It never dawned on me to create my own probability stats to better understand my success or failure on shots. I need to develop some short, 1 letter codes, codes for each shot and average them out over time. Thank you for great idea. Also liked your showing reasoning on some of your shots.
Absolutely brilliant video Gen. Love this🙂 Enjoyed the balance of your voiceover and the banter between you and your playing partners. Thank you for sharing this. So important to understanding and improving your own game. All the best for a great next game😎
you weren't happy with your 4 out of 9 GIR and i'm here with 1 out of 18 GIR :( but in all seriousness you are such an amazing player Gen!! keep up the good work
So fun to watch you maneuver so methodically and with purpose around the course. Very enjoyable! I admire how often and well you play with your 58 wedge. What bounce is it at?
Great detail... just a thought...there is something not right about your 160 to 180 yd shots. You are taking 6 iron for 172 and were well short and 6 again for 162 and you were short - you maybe need to check the lofts and carry yards in the 5 and 6 irons ? Lots of club use like you have can make the lofts change over time.
Gen love the idea for the vlog there are a few apps out there that will record all those stats for you , fairways hit, greens in reg I use them all the time and find them excellent
I put a x in top left of scorecard for gir and a x in bottom right of card for fairway hit.putts on green goes on top right of card.Then end of round i add up how many greens I hit and putts on the green.Also fairways hit.
How do translate "Room for Improvement" comments recorded on course to training and your thought process in improving your game? As always a great video, love your attitude on course.
So if you want to work specifically on what you struggled with on that day, you can clearly see what you need to work on at the range/putting green/practice green etc. If you compile data on a long term, you will clearly be able to see what you need to work on to improve your scoring!
nice vid gen ! love the commentary and onc-ourse sounds :) just a question about your pushed shots a couple of times there do you tend to adjust for that mid round ? adjusting aim, or swing thoughts ? etc
Hi Genevieve! Have you thought about using an app to track your stats for each round? I've been using one called 18 Birdies that I like a lot, but there are a lot out there. Mine lets me keep notes on specific holes, like what club did you use off the tee, how many putts, fairways hit, GIR etc... It is helpful but also interesting as you can see progress and stats over a long period of time, not just at the end of each round.
Yes I use shot by shot but apps like these need to be paid for so essentially, I thought it would be nice to give people a way to track what the app tracks but without the use of an app. Haha if that makes sense. But yeah, like you said, with an app you can track and compile data which would help on the long run (unless you're hardworking enough to do it manually without an app!🥵)
haha, hole no.3 PAR 4, you just stepped over your friend's line of putt.😂 i love seeing your video but have you considered doing a video on golf ethics ?
Hi Gen! I’m a beginner at golf. How do you get the most distance out of your clubs. I have mizuno efil the old version, for example you use p wedge for 100m and I would use a 6i for the same distance. I just want to be able to keep up playing with the boys since they hit way further
On hole 2: I thought downhill lies typically allow for clubbing down, as the ball is expected to run out? Obviously carrying the water takes precedence, but if there's no hazard would it have been closer to hit a 7i?
Definitely. But with the water hazard, the first goal is obviously to clear it! Because it comes down lower (even with the run out), you will have to anticipate that it won't fly as far so definitely need to make sure that the club you choose is one that will be able to carry the hazard a good amount of distance. So for instance, if it's 150 to carry the hazard, my 7 iron would've been able to clear it on a flat lie, but with the downhill lie, the 7 iron wouldn't make it so I would need the 6!
I presume she paces them out Johan, its probably not exactly 51 but she'd know how long one step is and takes it from there, a lot of coaches will recommend pacing out a putts
Yes pacing! We used to do this in college where we would pace the football field because before I went over to the states, I used meters. So I pretty much know what one pace and one yard would feel like. I don't 100% pace out all the putts accurately all the time (sometimes I forget) but I have a rough estimate of what a 30footer or 60footer (etc) would look like 😊
A lot of people keep Fairways, Greens & Putts (I keep these stats for everybody in my Friday foursome), BUT... 1. How do you use this data to improve? It’s interesting, and nice to see how we did compared to previous year, but ... I can say “I need to hit more fairways” (or greens) Easy to say, not sure how to do it. 2. Do you believe in “Real vs Feel”? If so, can you do a video on this? Thanks, Gen ... keep up the good work 👍🏻
Stats help you figure out what you need to improve in terms of scoring. But I think overall, you should have a plan for your game as a whole. So for instance, if on one day I know that I didn't hit a lot of greens because I'm not striking my irons particularly well.. I could look at a couple things. 1) Am I missing them all in the same side? Or all over/short? 2) What am I working on in my swing right now and could that have an effect on this? So I think that you are absolutely right. You need to have a plan to do something about it. just knowing your mistakes doesn't mean you won't repeat them again! And as for feel vs reel, 100%, I believe that what we feel, a lot of times, isn't what is real, especially when we are making swing changes. Hope that helps 😊
Not necessarily! I find that there will always be trends in your game of where you're excelling and where you probably need some work no matter what course you play in. The only part that might differ from one course to another is more around short game, eg. putting. Especially when green conditions/speeds etc. varies a lot in the courses you play 😊
Confused by fairway hit 7/9 - you count fairway hit but in rough, as 2 (and 3 as bad shot). I know it's your system but I don't understand how that counts as a fairway hit?
For which fairway? I write: (1) for fairway hit meaning stays in the fairway (2) fairway not hit but in first cut for example (3) fairway not hit and in rough and bad position so this was a system by the shot-by-shot app that helps to calculate shots gained and lost. So when you hit a tee shot that might not be in the fairway but doesn't cost you any strokes, you would write 2 and if you hit a tee shot that could potentially lose you a stroke, 3. Hope that makes more sense! ☺️
For the hole one's RFI, couldn't you consider reading the lie also as an RFI? Not a terrible miss, but a second look and adjustment may not have left you as far right.
@@stashthevampede0 yes! I put 58 degree there because I don't think a lot of you guys want to read a lot of words on the screen but I think there were several reasons why I didn't hit that as close as I could've. 1) Of course, the lie pushed it right so it didn't go straight towards the pin 2) The distance was too far (I was focusing too much on being safe with a front pin that I wanted to make sure I got it all the way there) However, I think that even if I did pay more attention to the lie and aimed more left, I still would be a good distance from the pin, just probably directly behind the pin.. if that makes sense. So I always think distance is super important first and foremost! 😊
We do all the time but filming more than one person while trying to play golf is not the easiest thing to do haha I try to incorporate it when I can (and when there's nobody on the golf course so we don't hold up play) 😊
You played with Michele Low !! Good company. Tidy chip in Gen. I wldn't trust Dianne's reads 'cos she just wants to brag abt beating the best 2 lady Pros in Malaysia over drinks later..... :-) Excellent content (again)
3.09: next time I’ll come to Malaysia, you’ll teach me playing better and I’ll teach you cooking a real Parmesan pasta: tell Michelle Parmesan chicken spaghetti doesn’t exist...
You have won something better than a major. You've won my heart
That chip on hole 7 was AWESOME!!!!!!! 🔥🎯
Best golf content on RUclips? You are very helpful to me!

So good gen .👀🏴👏🏻
phenomenal swing. love your big smile and rhythm and tempo.
Thank you!!
Enjoying to see actual golf, from a super player, from inside. Not the herogolf from youtube we see too often.
Love the intelligent approach to golfing. Really good content.

Great looking swing, it's definitely something I'm trying to emulate! Always a pleasure to watch you play golf
I enjoyed your analysis. You round demonstrate how close the difference is between under and over par. Your swing looks good!

Thank you!! Yes, so much of golf and scoring is just consistency!
Excellent insight. I’m using shot scope to collect my data. Now using it to show my weak areas
Glad the intro is back, it shows some awesome swings! You do have the best swing (and the best attitude), can't wait to see you at the LPGA Founders Cup here in sunny AZ! One day!
This is excellent. I am going to incorporate this into my game
So cute! Love your attitude and approach to the game! Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for watching!😊

It's different for everyone but always, the more greens you hit, the easier it is to score! (Duh!) Hehe
Playing with Michelle again. I knew during Lexus beat the pro. I still had the funny photo of her😉
Haha yeap!
That hole 7 chip. ❤
So fun to watch you maneuver so methodically and with purpose around the course. Very enjoyable!

Very nice ;)
Hello Gen. Your tempo and calm attitude help me so much ... but you recover and putt so well. How do you develop such a great short game?
Lots of practice! 😊
Hope the pandemic situation improves and you can come to Singapore to record a course vlog!
Hope so too!!
Great detail... just a thought...there is something not right about your 160 to 180 yd shots.

I put a x in top left of scorecard for gir and a x in bottom right of card for fairway hit.putts on green goes on top right of card.Then end of round i add up how many greens I hit and putts on the green.Also fairways hit.
Why dont you use arccos caddie? Amazing System that gives you All the data that you need ❤️ is Michelle low on of your flight partners?
Did you take lessons and do you have a coach?
Yes and yes 😬
Would love to see the actual scorecard. Always find it interesting how others organize their notations.
Agree. That's important coz most of the scorecards are cramped for space. Unless Gen builds her own scorecard.. and carries that around..
How do translate "Room for Improvement" comments recorded on course to training and your thought process in improving your game? As always a great video, love your attitude on course.

So, do you analyze after the round is over or during the round?
After the round!
