Smooth Stress Free 72 with Genevieve Ling - Most Consistent Preshot Routine ever?

Contact/email: [e-mail] for collaboration/partnership opportunities Waddaplaya.
A simple round of golf with more relatable distances than the PGA Tour. We play the TPC Kuala Lumpur and Gen takes us around the course at a distance we can understand. it's not 7,400 yards of US Open turf. It's a championship course and Gen plays it ego free, like a baus.

The pre-shot routine is amazing. It must be a routine that gets you in the zone for the shot. it CANNOT be a mechanic. If it's a mechanic, you're done. You need to be consistent and you need to practice it. You don't need to be as specific as Gen, but you can definitely improve this area o your game.

[@mmaranta785]

That shot from near the cart path was incredible

[@the.beardedgolfer]

I love how every shot Gen turns around with a smile

[@GolfSidekick]

Wadda attitude

[@bennyray_84]

I noticed that to!! Good or “bad” lie, she just rolled with the punches. Accept your shot and just play through it!!

[@johnserrano8683]

Greatest tip I ever read! 😃 before putting releases tension in jaw and neck!

[@amarug]

Watching her play is like petting your brain. Everything about it is amazing, the management, the preshot, the attitude, the swing mechanics, the soft wedges, wadda playa.

[@gregmaland5318]

All these great golfers have one thing in common - they all have such easy, smooth swings. My mind struggles to accept that an easy swing can move the ball further than an aggressive one, but there's no end to the evidence for it.

[@lltb67]

Yeah amazing isn't it. I could lift her up over my head yet she definitely out drives me!

[@DASell-uz6xg]

i go through that every time i step out to play...lol "Power over technique leaves you in drink"

[@billr5443]

Practice hitting something like a 6 iron 9 iron distance over and over by using a slower tempo and swing speed and you'll finally get that feeling. Then you can keep the easy tempo while increasing the speed and lag to get the full 6 iron distance.

[@jdshilling]

I would say that what they have in common is great ball contact and a balanced finish. Not all golfers are smooth or slow, some are fast and jerky - just look at Nick Price videos, he is very fast, but always in balance. There is just no way to be consistent if you are moving all over the place, you have to stay steady. If swinging slower gets that done for you, that is a great choice.

[@onsenguy]

Greg there are two reasons for it. First, by having very little tension in your swing you will pick up club head speed. The second reason is when you swing relaxed and smooth you are more often likely to find The Sweet spot.

[@jc22558]

Gen's tempo is amazing. I could watch a loop of her pre-shot routine and swing for hours. Plus, her personality and attitude are awesome. She's a total BAUS.

[@KiwiPokerPlayer]

As a brand new golfer, all of this seems impossibly magical to me.

[@MTMCOMBATKID76]

Enjoy the process and peace!

[@jacobn.3387]

@KiwiPokerPlayer same lol 😂 shot a 54 yesterday on the front 9 lmao I wish I was anywhere near her level

[@jakewilliams7706]

@@jacobn.3387 bro I shot a 71 on the front 9 weekend just gone so don't worry you're not as bad as me 😂

[@davidk4869]

As a 40 years experience golfer, all this seems impossibly magical to me.

[@stark20ful]

I’ve been playing for a long time and it still seems impossible

[@michaelfurrow2910]

the 6-iron under the trees is a shot I need in my bag

[@magnushedlund1973]

After watching countless of various golf channels, your is the one that has actually helped my game. Thanks to you I have improved my game and shoot much lower scores than before. Once this pandemic is over and I can get to travel to Asia again I hope to be able to meet and play a round with you.

[@TheBatugan77]

Gen's tempo is terrific. Her short game is marvelous. And her attitude is always outstanding. Keep hitting them, Gen!

[@haakonstorhaug1606]

Post-shot routine: a smile. We can all learn something from that. Great video!

[@Mattygolf]

All smiles. Thank you for highlighting Gen's fundamentally sound playing and attitude. There is so much to learn here!

[@martytc]

Your videos with the ladies have been the most instructive I've seen. To watch them dissect a golf course in such a cool and accurate manner is something that all men who try to kill the ball should learn. Please do more of these! I also want to say Gen is just delightful to watch, her humor and attitude is fantastic.

[@thomastrain7311]

Watch the lpga , it's the best tour going right now. You can pick up so much watching them play.

[@bobrella4740]

Gen is AWESOME! Thanks for having her on your channel. Her putting is fantastic. If not for a few more half rolls of the ball, she could have been -3.

[@robincole5739]

Would you consider showing and explaining her pre-putt routine?

[@starfirev]

What a great video. Her pre-shot routine, her tempo and finish, very inspiring. Your insights are great, especially about what she's thinking, or not thinking, at the different stages right up to hitting the ball. Gold!

[@_dboy_]

She is just so calm and smooth. Her putting is amazing. Her routine is immaculate. We could all learn a ton from seeing her play. Thanks Playa!

[@curtisskaufman]

In Dallas, Texas on the golf course saying things like "Waddaplaya, Waddalife, Waddawife". You really know how to entertain my man. Gen is an incredibly fun golfer to watch I'm glad you introduced us to her. I have learned a lot from you both in a short time. And these courses you get to play are so amazing. 4k video in your future?

[@GolfSidekick]

4k video maybe but I am all about the ease of editing. Waddalife

[@lungjunky]

Attitude is everything especially when you are as talented as Gen. I thoroughly enjoyed watching her play.

[@MrPcconway]

I love this so much. It's nice to see how a pro golfer who is not a long bomber can navigate a course with such precision. Also started doing the Think Box + Decision Line + Play Box and it seems to really help! Great job Matt

[@stephprime]

this is just one of the best golf videos on youtube. her rythm and routine is so nice. Learned a lot from this video and applied it to my game the next round I played and it was a massive difference.

[@kererut]

Gen drives same as me. Same greens in reg as me, par 3 irons, yep. Thats where the similarities end and where my practice needs more work. Short game. Gen’s short game up and downs and her putting. Phenomenal.

[@maxbie123]

As someone that defaults to swinging out of his shoes, seeing someone with such an easy swing tear up a course is enlightening

[@growthwithjair]

Wow. This was an eye opener on tempo. She was so consistent! And your right, watching her swing and pre shot routine was a sense of calm and confidence. I’m going to try to focus on a consistent pre shot routine and tempo and see how that can change my game.

[@GolfSidekick]

Remember to practice the routine at the range too - it's a discipline, or an art

[@KTFlaSh96]

God the difference between your average Joe and the pros in the short game is just insane to watch. Never leaves herself anything over 8 feet for putts, automatic for anything inside 7 feet. Even her long par/birdie putts are never outside of 1-2 feet to give her that easy tap in while the rest of us are still sweating those 3-5 footers we let get away from us. Pre-shot routine is always important. Keeps good tempo and positive thoughts flowing. I have practically the same routine as her including the one club twirl as I walk up to address the ball too.

[@deadlyfloof6311]

Such an undervalued and dynamic golfing channel. By far one of my favourites! You should have x10 subs. Also for some reason I enjoy watching the females more, ego removed the game looks so elegant, like an art form, coupled with these videos not being centred around you, but others who are more relatable to the public! Big kudos.

[@dohcsmr1175]

This tiny little lady proves one does not need to play smash mouth golf to post a par score. The 6 inches of grey matter between the ears is the most important area to develop. And.....you do not get better on the course until you master the driving ranch. Outstanding video. Well Done Sir!!

[@danenelson5437]

That second shot on hole 4 was amazing. Great guest. Great attitude. Love it. Thanks for giving the pre-shot routine timelines, no one ever thinks about the consistency of that.

[@GolfSidekick]

Exactly playa, here at Golf Sidekick, we think different

[@GolfSidekick]

Marque Markofthebeast and we all know how he did as a golfer. So many people looking at superfluous stuff like deshambo smashing it (which I LOVE - no hate at all) which no weekend golfer is gonna be able to emulate, but there are so many many many variables that make good golfers good. Most of the achievable things for amateurs are never talked about that could improve their game infinitely

[@alisterrogers8012]

CONSISTENT AF pre shot routine had me in tears. Loved the subtlety. Great vid.

[@GolfSidekick]

Sir have you recovered from crying? I can send tissues!

[@wiseverza]

9:32 that text alone enlighten me in so many ways that boost my confidence and my train of thoughts during shots.

[@anthonygarton3083]

Quality video guys. Loved every moment🙂. Thank you.

[@drewrobertwinter7648]

What a pleasant round of golf, an excellent player, and useful advice!

[@ssjackson5400]

Hey Matt, I'm in Wisconsin and my golf season is now done until April. Your golf videos will be my 2nd golf season until the warm weather returns.

[@el_cherko]

What an amazing smile, attitude and game. Great analysis as well 🙏🏼

[@dmartins3531]

She's incredible love her channel as well.

[@erniekastner6821]

The think/decision line is the best tip I have ever received. After watching MS Ling's pre-shout routine, I shot a net 55 my next time out. No joke. I'm 68 and a 20 handicap. Thank you so much.

[@lenpan]

Thanks Gen and Golf Sidekick! I took the tips from this video on to the course today and it really made a positive impact in my approach and final score. 🤙💯⛳

[@brettneuberger6466]

She’s a joy to watch play, and the video is fantastic as well. Great pace, great music, great content.

[@e.g.flores2819]

Beautiful swing and great attitude, always smiling and has a great time playing. Love this Chanel.❤️

[@brianrizza2045]

If you watch her videos she is the queen of tap in pars. Very very stress free when she accidentally bogeys she laughs and smiles

[@trevwells948]

Whoa, Gen is sublime, absolutely amazing to watch and learn from...Thanks for continuing to be the Baus man love your work, as ever!

[@rafaelgomez2687]

This may be one of my favorite videos yet. So much good info to take in.

[@13Hangfire]

Amazing and a lot of fun... Golf Sidekick is becoming my favorite golf channel!

[@golfgigglesbymichelle8759]

This is such a great video. She has such great composure and it helps us learn how to limit mistakes/risk shots to help us score lower.

[@richardcunningham5540]

Brilliant video Matt. Excellent collaboration once again. Many takeaways in this episode.

[@BaldyFella]

Gen is lovely. Wonderful tempo, great attitude. Total NON-EGO golf. Her ability to trouble shoot, the thought process and execution are superb. That in itself makes up for lack of distance. Added to that are her short game strengths. An excellent vlog BAUS. Have you thought about getting your sis out with Gen. I think a) she would learn a lot and b) it would make an excellent vlog.

[@TimothyNH]

the obvious rapport between the two of you is always a pleasure to watch. This is a great video, thank you

[@bsmitty05]

This might be my favorite video so far, both for separating the thinking and acting phases, but also just watching the insane scrambles and putts. Less than 1.5 putts averaged!

[@bagdiil]

Her smiling is such a breath of fresh air and her having fun whilst playing, is the attitude I want to have towards each game. Wouldn't mind her skill either xD

[@Doze320]

Very enjoyable watching a pro navigate the course. Amazingly consistent pre-shot routine.

[@blackcav]

Really really really love the stats at the end, you should do that in all your videos if you don’t already 👍🏼

[@randallsguaranteedsold6361]

Excellent video (always great to see, and hear the thoughts of a pro during play) Beautiful course btw!

[@steveolson3268]

Really enjoy your videos with Gen. it helps reinforces your strategy that I have tried to implement. Thanks

[@jndtexas]

Thanks for introducing us to Gen. My wife and I just love what we are learning from her. We are big fans now.

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

Wow, what a fantastic video. It was well shot, well edited, well everything. You kept the stats and distances ... just awesome.

[@Doggydoc]

In the play box, it’s only execution. I have for 1 year come back to this video and lived by these words playas. This whole thang is pure golden words of wisdom

[@vincentchim]

I want more of theseeeeee! Love it

[@pushyred]

Awesome video! Genevieve is amazing and your commentary is wonderfully insightful! Her smile and your hats!!!

[@paulbentleymusic]

This was just pure magic to watch. Thanks Gen.

[@camelcase9225]

Almost winter here in Canada and I'm so sad about it. This year I've improved so much and want to keep it going. Next season is going to be all about the short game within 100 yards and around the green because my up and down percentage is always mid teens to low 20%. I've been figuring I can save minimum 6 strokes per round by just getting up and down around 40% of the time. That's so huge and it shows how necessary it is by Gen's performance here.

[@creepintrex]

It's interesting to see the thought process and see someone take a shorter club only to use a longer one on the second shot. Most people wouldn't think to do that but when it comes to taking danger out of play with your tee shot to save you strokes on that end it makes a ton of sense. The pro perspective on lies is insane!

[@GolfSidekick]

Pros pay more attention to the lie of the ball than anything else. That dictates every single thing in their golf game for the day. It's not spoken about, so maybe I will make a video on it

[@codnewbgamer]

I'm not usually a fan of semi-educational content because I like where my mental game is right now, but these simple explanations of her thought process makes good content

[@derycklee5582]

Bit late to the party but have just found a new golf fix. Gen shows golf is all about decisions and execution!! Not hero shots and risk. Thank you superstar player :) I will Be back for more

[@SeeEssPerez]

Matt - Your vids are very educational.. The background music is also comical and entertaining. Thanks for all your work!

[@katebourdon2314]

This channel is amazing, I’m a pretty new golfer and I’ve already learned so much. Keep up a the good work Matt!

[@GolfSidekick]

Thanks boyfriend

[@garyrae5413]

Keep watching playa,I've been swinging for over 17 years but still learn stuff from this channel...enjoy your golf👍😎

[@TheBatugan77]

That shot next to the cart path... WOW!

[@GolfSidekick]

Ball below her feet, insane

[@SteenWinther]

Wow, she is a golfing robot. She has got that consistent draw going, just like PB from your previous videos, that makes the ball come back online when you think they have lost it to the right. So impressive!

[@kpag3030]

It’s amazing how consistent that routine is. Within 1 second every time! That’s what I need.

[@dorsmap]

Channel is growing quickly man you deserve it you've worked your ass off.

[@GolfSidekick]

I agree - people are slowly coming to the truth

[@robadoo2587]

Awesome video. That was such a pleasure to watch Matt and Gen. My pre shot routine on the tee and green seems to have gone out the window post lockdown. Will definitely have to sort it out after watching that. 👍🏌

[@jimmievincent9013]

Thank you guys. I learned a ton from this.

[@alanwaterworth6464]

Gen is just amazing to watch, smooth like silk. We can learn so much from her approach and tempo. I reckon she´s my favourite lady pro now. The previous videos you´ve done changed my approach and improved my score, if I can work on it a bit more next season I might get my handicap down further.

[@GolfSidekick]

You will. There is no night besides the might of your brain

[@davidsavage7703]

sooo many good things to try to emulate!

[@SmokeyRobbo]

Great video. So simple and very much like Gen's game. Calm, relaxed and repetitive. Could watch her play all day instead of meditation. 😀

[@91210paige]

You made a very good point around the 12ish minute mark about playing partners. Golf is hard enough for the weekend hacker. Just enjoy being out on a beautiful day golfing. I recently had to stop playing with one of my friends because he was always very negative. I wish him luck and many good days golfing.

[@GolfSidekick]

Good job playa. There are people I have had to cut out as well. It was just making me dread playing

[@ryannorthcott8483]

That little club flip at 9:33 - saw that and knew she was gonna stripe it right up the middle.

[@leemccoshen2958]

Great example of course management. I wish I was as calm and collected. Impressive.

[@arklowrockz]

Although I hardly ever get to do it I love playing a round with a three or four handicapper. It's always a completely chill round of golf and you always learn something.

[@joaocal1]

Yesterday I've made my best score at my local 9 hole course (+5)... Today 1st tee shot went OB... Ended up having the worst round in months... I needed gen next to me to calm me down. Love watching these videos in the evening after kids are sleeping. I have seen the light, now I must walk to it. Thank you Matt!

[@GolfSidekick]

Gen is besides all of us, we only have to listen instead of giving in to the rage monster on the other side

[@rstar88105]

Your videos are worlds more informative than listening to broadcasters talk about tournaments.

[@e.davidjohnson4805]

Great video Playa, keep them coming. 2 thumbs up.

[@michaelp6617]

Golf sidekick, exceptionally clever and talented. Great work, Genevieve Ling.

[@pandersonnike]

Gen is amazing! I've been watching her channel a lot recently too. Especially now that it's the heart of fall here in Chicago, and most courses are about to close up for the season. I will only have simulators and ranges moving forward, especially with covid ruining any travel plans.

[@michaelroberts2251]

Great video as always! Love Gen's game and her channel.

[@GolfSidekick]

Me too!

[@Blindsquirrel00]

Shot 76 today after watching this video.... really helped!

[@TheMentalcaddie]

The shot process is so important. Great video

[@911alps]

My favourite of all your vids I love the commentary tips 😍

[@maverick5059]

All these comments about tempo, timing, smoothness, thinking, etc. are spot-on. Gen is an awesome player but on top of all those great attributes is her putting and chipping. There was never a doubt with her putting. Excellent way to score especially when you are giving yourself so many chances. I would love to play 18 with her.

[@justjames1111]

That was really enjoyable and informative. Thanks.

[@garyrae5413]

Lovely lazy Saturday morning watching another Sidekick masterclass in the ways of the playa,took a lot from this Bruv ...I feel very conscious of my pre shot routine and worry I take to long but no more!! I'm gonna stick with it and forget the "get on with it" voices in my swede...Thanks great mate!😂👏👏

[@GolfSidekick]

Easy life. If you’re doing your preshot routine at the right time while other people are doing stuff, you won’t hold up play

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

Gen's smile and laid back vibe gives me joy.

[@GolfSidekick]

If it brings rage, I think we need to have a sit down

[@Karll541]

I’m with you

[@MrKallen49]

Solid ball striking, great course management, excellent swing, straight drives - I want to be like Gen!

[@brucechaddockiii6688]

[@Babydudetatts]

Her smile is awesome. What a fun round loved this vid!

[@jiggybass]

Love her! She is the perfect example of what having a consistent mindset/attitude on the golf course looks like! Not to mention she has a damn good short game and call roll the crap out of that rock!

[@chunt6352]

Off the tee box on 12, she called it. Driver would have required a perfect shot to carry the bunker, 3W would have rolled into the bunker and 5W place her middle of fairway short of the fairway.. WHADDAPLAYA!

[@1966Dobbo]

Love watching Gen's swing, one off the smoothest in the game
