It took me going to the DR everyday for ten years before I really got my act together for hitting the ball straight and over 300 yards. Statistically professionals only hit the green 70% of the time on the PGA tour. Thus, their is a technique for hitting it long and straight and ultimately it has to be done for men or women. Anybody can learn to chip and putt but not everyone can drive the ball. Unfortunately for the professional, golf is a game of distance. I say unfortunately because most people are not professionals and they still want to hit it long. EGOs aside playing it FORWARD is the best answer for amateurs. The real challenge is final score not hole by hole. Your advice is always so interesting. I am working with the idea of increasing the hole size from 4 to 6 inches for the very reasons listed above (so hope you approve if you ever get a chance to read comments). GBG NO EDITS.
Loving your videos Gen, you a true inspiration! I try and watch at least a few minutes of one of your videos before I head out to the course, just to have something in mind that I should focus on every time I play. Following this approach last year, got my handicap down by 6 strokes, and aiming for a further reduction this year, maybe 3-4 strokes but really need the UK to get some decent weather! Thanks again 😀
excellent advice Gen. I totally agree with what you said about there being so much out there and you can only control yourself. Last season I was having a great round, very relaxed, 8 pars through the first 10 holes. Hole 11, a downhill par 3, 162m, I´d selected a 7 iron because it´s what i´ve played before. Then another player zapped the flag with his range finder (I dont use one at all) and said it was playing 138 with the slope. This led to indecision for me. I changed clubs to an 8 iron, then started over assessing the effect of the wind, which was at about 7m/s off the left, and tried to hit a draw to compensate for the wind. I got the draw ok because I had to hit it flat out, but the wind never touched it because of the high trees, so I ended up in the pond beyond the trees. result, a double after a drop. Whereas If I´d stayed with the 7 I wouldn´t have been hitting it so hard and would have gone straight at the green, because the bail out on the right is safe. Knowing where your misses are is essential to good course management. As you said, make your decision on what you´re playing before you hit the shot, and stay with it.
Very nice 😊. Thank you. Bye the way. A recent video with your father. I thought that was the pro who joins you from time to time. I believe your father is studying golf with Gen. Looking good !!
Great points. Taking out the ten or so tap-in putts per round will give me 75 strokes that require full concentration. That's 750 seconds or 12 1/2 minutes. If a round is 5 hours, that's 4 hours, 47 1/2 minutes of goofing off and relaxing with my friends. That's a good time. 🤣
Great attitude. laughing at the outcome when your first drive isn't as planned.... I'm usually crying and distracted by the stroke index and playing golf swing instead of playing GOLf :-)
Thanks Gen, a great video.. you are the only person I have ever seen other than myself put a tee in the ground to keep my handle raised out of the morning dew.. great minds think alike 😃👍🏻
Notice that to save her "spare" club from getting wet, Gen rested the grip on a tee. You can also use the putter head cover when near a green. Amazes me when golfers just throw their clubs onto wet grass.
Hello from Oregon. I just subscribed to your awesome channel and am enjoying catching up. Concentrating on what we can control perhaps applies to many life circumstances too. Also, you inspire me to restart the game I previously enjoyed so much. Perhaps some chipping and putting practice this summer. I appreciate the time/energy you put into helping us here. Thank you! P.S. Your intro is perfect, Gen. I love it!
Hello Gen - Can I suggest you reach out to Rick Shields since I do think you need to get your channel going. I'm only saying this because you have the best swing, have a great attitude, and personality as well. I'm saying this because you are an inspiration for golf and would like to see your channel grow for more content.
I like what you say about reducing margin of error. I feel like an obstacle to that for me is actually knowing my margin of error. Haven't had lessons in the "trackman" area. Maybe that is something a teacher/coach would help with instead of or in addition to just swing changes? When on typical range where I go it seems the balls are reduced distance of varying amounts. I don't think I really know how far my ball should go and on course am just adjusting swing to distance by feel (with not good results) instead of having a swing with "stock" distance for each club.
You should win 🏆 if your making videos like this apply it to yourself so winning 🏆 is a possibility. You really need to add length of the tee and you will have a chance to get to the LPGA. Mental strength is a must.
Amen! It’s so funny because green keepers people that know what’s best for the green always try to teach push towards the middle. So many people including pros still lift up. Madness!?!? Lifting can yank the root up and thus the grass dies and you have a dead yellow spot on the green. Please everyone push towards the center and then lightly push down with your putter to flatten the grass.
For good golfers that want to become very good, one thing I can add is to ONLY attempt a shot that you are 100% confident you can hit. No one is forcing you to go for a green over water with your 3 wood.
There is NO difference between a professional and “amateur” golfer (I hate that term) 😡 Golf is a game. We have the same goal: ☝🏻Advance the ball ☝🏻Get the ball into the little hole. It’s just that some of us are more skilled, better trained, more well practiced. I am not comparing myself to so called “professional” golfers. I play the game for the enjoyment of the game itself, and for the quality time with my friends. I am NOT trying to be a “professional”. I am not trying to make a career of it. I am not dependent on it for my well being, or trying to make a living, any more than you are trying to be a doctor, an accountant, a musician, an engineer, or any other “profession”. Golf is a GAME, and we PLAY it for the sheer enjoyment of it. Life is a balance of career/work, family/friends, education/learning and recreation/health. For the majority of us, Golf is recreation (and time with friends, and for our health) … not our career. If we don’t enjoy it, we should do something else.
You have two paths in golf life: recreational ... or professional. You seem to have chosen recreational. All of your body language says it. You do NOT want to WIN at golf. You want to PLAY golf. For FUN.

After 100’s of YT golf videos, this was one of the more helpful
I learned an amzing tip from you, use a tee so your clubs don't get wet. Genius!
I like the unspoken tip of putting a tee in the ground to rest your club on and avoid getting the grip wet. Never thought of that!

Reducing margin of error, that is so true and something that took me 20+ years to learn!!!
Hey Gen, I have been watching your vids for several years now. You still have a beautiful swing.

Nice camera work to go along with sound advice.

Thanks for the words of advice Gen 🏌️♀️
Smoothest swing out of golf RUclipsrs
Happy weekend!!! Safe travels!!!
I can totally hear Gens Mc skills through these video voice overs. She is so talented! :)
Very nice 😊. Thank you. Bye the way. A recent video with your father. I thought that was the pro who joins you from time to time. I believe your father is studying golf with Gen. Looking good !!
Some great tips. Especially the bad shots. You can't change a shot, the most important shot in golf is your next shot. Good luck!!
Great points. Taking out the ten or so tap-in putts per round will give me 75 strokes that require full concentration. That's 750 seconds or 12 1/2 minutes. If a round is 5 hours, that's 4 hours, 47 1/2 minutes of goofing off and relaxing with my friends. That's a good time. 🤣
Great advise Gen!
Brilliant video thanks Gen
Another enjoyable video from our Gen sound advice good luck in future tournaments
All words of wisdom 😊.
Great attitude. laughing at the outcome when your first drive isn't as planned.... I'm usually crying and distracted by the stroke index and playing golf swing instead of playing GOLf :-)
This was one you your best videos. Really, really well done.
Thanks for sharing, and it does help a lot❤
You play golf exactly how I want to play. Such good inspiration. So glad I found your vids. Thanks for making them!
wow. nice video quality. Lets go Gen.
Keep the tips coming.
Thanks for more words of golfing wisdom, Gen! Maybe I'm weird, but I've always preferred short game practice. 🤩
Awesome video!!!!
When I think about your videos while on the course it has a calming influence and helps me focus. Thank you!
More Joyee!!!!!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Gen, a great video.. you are the only person I have ever seen other than myself put a tee in the ground to keep my handle raised out of the morning dew.. great minds think alike 😃👍🏻

Brilliant idea, using a tee to keep your grip dry, so simple 😂. Great content
So young and wise!! Love this video Gen. Great for helping to focus on what helps me enjoy this beautiful game. Thank you.
More great advice! Thank you Gen!
New subscriber. Loved your content. Keep it up!!!
Great vlog ❤ Gen’s odd advice segment 😌 you’re tips are spot on! Thanks for making & sharing 👍
Great video and advise, Gen. I’m a 7.2 handicap and working to make scratch. Loved this! Thank you.

Thanks Gen, for a new person to golf I really appreciate your tips👌
Thank you for your advices. Like always, love your videos. When will you travel to the USA?
Thanks for another great vid Gen! Love to hear thoughts about the game and to watch your silky smooth swing!

Absolutely agree!!! This channel should be at least 5 times larger!
Loving this series Gen!
I try NOT to "pay attention to my lie" - because lying is my best way to shoot a low score. :)

Good morning, Gen!
Want some coffee?

Great tips 👍
Great advise. Tks!👍🏻
Very good advice
Like the videos! Keep up the great work.
your approach play is mindblowing. howd you get to that level?
Excellent
Im going try to focus more right before I hit great tip
What a sweet girl. Great advice. Superb greens
Go Gen ... for you (....and for us 😅)
Great tips!
8:46 Please push pitch marks towards center, instead of lifting them up 🙏
Amen! It’s so funny because green keepers people that know what’s best for the green always try to teach push towards the middle. So many people including pros still lift up. Madness!?!?

Coming to play Royal Selangor and other courses between June 23 to 25. Free for a round with your RUclips fan?
Had the yips for 3 years now, putting broomstick style and can'tget back to same confidence putting no natter hiw much I practice😥
So that first shot.. i assume you moved it, and cleaned it because it landed in a divot?
Have you played against any of the Thai women who won this international tournament this past weekend?
Number two a 308 you're not long enough to get there you're barely 240 off the teebox. 😳 Nice legs always.
I'd like to know your thoughts on towing vs throwing ( dominant hand )
Pros don't think about those things in their swings while playing, because on course trying to score and play game of golf not game of swing.
What was the wave at 1:28? To confirm the group in front is away from the green?
I thought it was Gen acknowledging her fans.
14:48 why have I never done this to keep my grips dry?!
Gen's IQ is 305.
And she scored 1600 on her SATs. Blindfolded.
v.nice
Is a player allowed to re locate the ball on the green
✌☠😎
You handled seri selangor liked eating peanuts.. so senang for but not for me😢
You're so gorgeous ❤

"Ladies pro" but hitting off white ? Hmmm....

Indeed…you will stop instructing if you want to win…her mental strength and length of the tee is her weakness. But still a good golfer 🏌️♀️
