I will say it is not fair since Gen said "That's not fair." on the first tee! :)

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

Hehehe 😄

[@thevoiceofcod643]

G! Guuurrl you have a beautiful and athletic swing! Great tempo, balance, positioning, flexibility, and power. Then Choo hit. I was mind blown how far and accurately he hits. Is it a fair match? Absolutely, in Match Play format. It’s a tough match though. Good luck to you both. And absolutely I subscribed. I subscribed to your swing. 🤣

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

Thanks for subscribing!! ☺️☺️

[@trevorevans7101]

This was one of your best videos ever. Absolutely riveting. Please do this again. Yes it's a fair match. He's a terrific golfer but so are you.

[@AntonioLopez-fr7xr]

Great video. It was entertaining and fun watching two golf stars go head to head. Personally, match play is more relaxed since you can always recover from losing a hole. I got $20 bucks on you.

[@alankasjan6488]

Thanks for this video, I thought that the par 5 would bring you undone but you proved me wrong. In the match play that I have played one is not allowed to putt out. It is always the furtherest from the hole who has the next putt, even if you have just putted.

[@pandersonnike]

Interesting enough is Jon Rahm has talked about how we should have a few dual events with the men's and women's tour recently. I think that is a great idea, but the biggest obstacle is figuring out the tees. My gut says allow team events, like two player teams which exists at the Zurich on the PGA, and have the women and men tee off what their tour averages. Then go from there with alternate shots or play best ball. Also the one downside with the men side is it's very distance heavy, and too many amateurs try to smash it like Bryson without any control or finesse like a pro. I try to pay more attention to the women's side when it comes to the swing since it is more fundamental over unique stances to add distance. I rather be more consistent at a shorter distance and go from there by slowly adding yards within my abilities. Strategy and short-game can easily shave off strokes for most amateurs without a steep learning curve like adding distance without losing control. Anyway, good video, and I like your strategic approach since it makes me think more as a golfer with how to approach shots and a course.

[@desmonix]

Unfair... Gen should have given Choo strokes. 🤣🤣🤣

[@rtfcomputing4614]

So potential is you have more local course knowledge. He has the ability to use more controllable clubs off the tee and still get to same distance as you on most holes but should be more accurate. Big advantage for him is on Par 5 holes if he can get on the green in 2. In a Match Play format some of the built in advantages of distance is negated.

[@GoldChump]

Wow, stumbled on this video and enjoyed watching both of you hit the ball!

[@martyflannigan5052]

Gen I think his distance is a huge advantage, that being said you have held your own up to here. One other thing Gen the commentary is fantastic I think you may have another career doing that after golf.

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

For sure! I had to rely on my short game for this one 😅

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

He didn't really have any advantage. Gen's short game was better. People develop different skills to compensate. For example partially sighted people often have excellent hearing. I often see these golf channels eg The one with Claire and Paris golfaholics where the ladies keep on claiming advantage of forward tees. They then drive it past the guys and use their excellent short games to win the matches easily. It's tantamount to cheating. We don't let the guys putt to larger holes because their putting and chipping is poorer for example. Both sexes should play off the same tees.

[@markvandermerwe4676]

@@PreservationEnthusiast no they shouldn’t. Men have a bigger advantage of something women can’t control,bring strength.everyone can have a good short game.that isn’t an excuse

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@@markvandermerwe4676 Theoretically everyone can have a good short game, but women develop it better because they don't hit so far. There are women long hitters cheating by using the shorter tees and men short hitters disadvantaged because they have to use the back tees.

[@mclane5472]

Very cool video Gen! Seems like it was an exciting match. I think that the distance advantage for Choo is definitely there and a factor but it's not sealing the deal. Your play perfectly showed that it's an open match as long as you play your own game, manage it well and bring your a game around and on the green. And as it goes for every matchplay game, capitalizing on chances is huge

[@jonasang4964]

This is so amazing. You're amazing. Learning a lot by watching your videos, please keep making them.

Great golf, love the birds. Ever notice how calling birds enhances golf videos and broadcast, l love it.

[@randyo.6138]

Playing a 6200 yard course cuts his advantage down quite a bit, so I think this match will ultimately come down to who has the better short game...and ill take you Gen against just about anybody in that category!

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

True! 6600 and above i'm at a huge disadvantage 😂

Not fair! Distance alone.

[@andyclark8991]

His distance hitting is a way way advantage for him, means you get a unfair advantage by hitting the ball further

[@alisonburgess345]

Womens tees should be MILES ahead of where they usually are. The idea is not to even up the drives, but to give both the chance to go in with, say, a seven iron...

[@mairoo22]

Love your swing it's beautiful

[@tootalazaaz]

Geez Gen your really good. I’d say match play is tremendously less stressful because you can shoot an 8 on a hole and your opponent shots a 3. Your only down one. That’s correct isn’t it?

[@stevieg314]

yes

[@stephenfowler4115]

Psychologically match play is very different. The pressure is much more variable than in stroke play. No match is ever fair ever player has advantages and disadvantages.

[@Ecka63]

Love watching matchplay Gen. Everyone brings particular strengths and weaknesses to the game so it's fascinating to see how a match seesaw from one to the other shot by shot. The 6th is a perfect case in point .... Choo had you on that hole, until he hit into the bunker and you had wedge that you knew you could hit close. Have to say, watching you stripe driver off the tee is some kind of special.

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

Yes for sure! Hehe thanks, its pretty fun to do too, I must say 😄😄

[@anthonygarton3083]

Loved your competitive nature mixed with great humour Gen. I enjoyed it. Distance is not everything. Smart, accurate play that suits your game is better.

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

Haha thanks Anthony!! Yes, but distance does help 😜

[@arnoldchen1230]

Gen: For the 6 holes shown in the match his length only factored in on the Par 5 and the Par 3. However, I was more surprised with the difference in wedge game from inside 100yds. I'm not sure if his wedge game is not as good as it should be or your wedge game is off the charts good. From inside 100yds, we're routinely used to you getting it inside 20 ft every time. I was quite surprised at how often he missed the green with wedges. In the long run at 6200 yds, he should have the advantage because on the Par 4s, he should be able to hit more fairways and be in better position using his 2I than you will using your driver. And on the Par 3's, he'll be approaching with shorter irons and he'll be able to reach the Par 5's. But it was a great match and I'm dying to see the rest of the holes. When you talk about the match play, how did having to make the 4 footer for birdie compare to shots you've had to hit at either Q-school or tournaments?

[@anthonyrobinson2292]

I figured you would be more accurate and have advantages. But after two holes I see you have your work cut out for you

[@mmccoy2654]

I think match play is mentally harder and you have to have greater focus on each shot especially around the green. For me I tend to get more nervous in match play.

[@zman4116]

I don’t know if you play match play with male professionals very often or not, but I think its a good thing for your upcoming LET practice. Nelly Corda can smash some impressive drives but if you get used to playing against that sort of distance, so long as it doesn’t bother, you then that can only be a good thing and I’d not considered your killer short game in the previous post, my bad. That and as others point out, your commentary is excellent, I’ve learnt a lot since following you. I hope that your upcoming tournaments work to your advantage.

[@3nCounting]

Just like you say Gen... Match play (like Stableford) can equalize a "better" golfer, or in your case a more powerful golfer by the way you strategize your way around the golf course. Choo can hit tee shots farther but will have longer approach shots on par 5's. Your approach shots Gen, are SO much more accurate. You have a way of flipping the pressure back on Choo!! So much fun to see. Still rooting for you to get your LET card and finally make the LPGA... LET'S GOOOOO!!!!

[@MPerski]

I play in a 9-hole match play league on Thursdays, but I really don’t use any different strategy. It’s a friendly flight (the other nine opponents are friends). So, I try to shoot the lowest score I can on every hole and let the match play out. Probably NOT the best strategy for match play. But I find if I play to my opponent on every hole, I feel too much pressure and inevitably make an unforced error. I would really like a quick primer on match play; tips & tricks to play more strategically. As always, keep up the good work 👍🏻 #TeamGen

[@brb5506]

Medal play and match play are different. In a medal-play tournament, you are playing against the field whereas in match-play, you are playing only your current opponent. In medal play, a bogey puts you a stroke back against the field for the whole tournament whereas in match play, a lost hole only hurts you in the current match. Different mindsets are required. (But you know all this already.)

[@atomicdiscobiscuit]

NOT FAIR!!! He was definitely outmatched... lol. Nice job though. You almost went 1 up on that last putt....

[@bluey1000]

With the distance G gives up it will always be a significant disadvantage in the long run, however this is only one match so you can still secure the 'W'. 😁

[@Justwanthavefun_100]

Golf Pro Vs Pro whether male or female always fair depending the golf course knowledge , hazard yardage and travel time to get there . Local Pro will beat foreign pro due golf course knowledge and hazard yardage. If you need travelling long distance and very short practice session will harder to score well too .

[@TheBatugan77]

I was never better than a bogey golfer at my best. But to me, the short game is different. Shooting for score (medal play) you don't want to 'blow up' on a hole, because you can't get those strokes back. Match play, you can 'win' with a bogey, or lose with a par. Each of you approaches the pin partly based on what the opponent does! Which makes each hole a game unto itself. And fun!

[@mikehoward9211]

why wouldn't this be a fair match? you are playing the same yardage!! not all male professionals hit the same distance, so does that mean its not fair for the male who hit shorter?

[@jimtruesdell4603]

I went to a golf school with Tom Kite one time. He explained that he could not hit the ball far and would never be able to keep up with the big boys on driving. his advantage was that "once I am within 100 yards, I'm deadly". While long drives can be a bit of an advantage, chipping and putting is where you win or lose.

[@andrews6617]

Swing thought for you Genevieve : left arm leads. .. reduce right hand dominance. You are overpowering your swing. Too many pulls left on 1st 3 holes. Better after hole 4.

[@cbisjr]

The answer would be who is more consistent? youre almost there but not quit LPGA level. Any of the top 100 LPGA goflers would destroy Choo from tips or front tees..

[@alanwaterworth6464]

I find matchplay far more fun than stroke play. In matchplay, if you have a bad hole, and you´re not going to halve the hole, you can just pick up and get your head back together. Then come back on the next hole. In stoke play, you have to hole out even when you´re into double figures, and then there´s no way you´re going to come back from that. Great stuff Gen, you definitely hold your own here; would be interesting for the old duffers who think ladies should play from the forward tees at all times to see this :)

[@brianmurray4199]

He's going to win more often then not. Even if you have the same distances in he's going to be hitting shorter clubs. But always rooting for The Gen😁

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

I agree with you, but I will probably get him on days where he can't putt (and lets be honest, we all have those days) 😉

[@zman4116]

In terms of power, you’re obviously at a disadvantage, in terms of looks, no contest and you play outstanding golf - what’s not to like?? Oh yeah and my guess is that it will be close but Choo should pull away but only marginally. On with the show.

[@pahum67]

It is a fair match from the point of view that all of the conditions are equal for everybody. Sure he hits the ball longer and that is an advantage in most golfing situations but in others it can be a disadvantage. He can only play his game and you can only play yours. We all come in different shapes, sizes, ages etc. As you said yourself you were able to attack the pin with a wedge and he was using a four iron and ended up in the sand. It isn't that his length was a disadvantage per se (he could have laid up also) but it did encourage him to try and pull off a much harder shot. This was very entertaining as you are both very good shot makers. Good job!!!

[@andyclark8991]

He should have given you some shots, due to handicap. Hit the ball further etc, you give shots in golf, standard practice/handicap in golf. He should have given you shots.

[@simonleach3812]

Gen, you've shown that you don't have to be intimidated by the long hitter and can play your own game. Matchplay vs strokeplay: You can be comfortably on the green in regulation and then your opponent chips in from off the green for a birdie. (The hole is never over until it's over!) If you need to hole that putt for a half, you have to go for it - it does not matter whether you lose the hole by 1 or several shots. But in strokeplay, those several shots matter.

[@kentao4]

Accuracy always trumps distance. I can hit a long way but I play better when I hit shots I’m more confident in. I rarely go for par 5s in 2 because I’ve learned to hit shots Im sure I can hit.

[@NoahFroio]

I think your course management and techniques could make this close, but, his length off the tee and being able to shorten the course dramatically, will probably seal the match in his favor. Now, let's find out!!

[@onsenguy]

match play is definitely more fun. you can take greater risks in your shots and the worst is you'll lose the hole. in stroke play for example you may end up with a double bogey and he might birdie, giving him a 3 shot advantage on just a single hole.

[@rthao2091]
