I Turned 18 Years Old…
I turned 18 years old… We talk D1 women’s golf vs social media, my thoughts on the LPGA, being an introvert on camera, why I’m doing an ice bath every day (4 minutes), and how I handle anxiety. I share my top three schools I’d be proud to play for (no commitment yet), dream collabs like Tom Holland, Katherine Newton, Michael Jordan, Steph Curry, LeBron, and singers Gracie Abrams, Taylor Swift, ROLE MODEL, Harry Styles, Shawn Mendes, Justin Bieber. We hit LIV Golf vs PGA Tour, swing thoughts, kindness over killer mentality, and whether I’d still be making YouTube videos at 25. Plus: celebrity crushes (hi Louis Partridge, Christopher Briney, Charles Leclerc), cheat day (gummy bears), senior prom/homecoming (nope), and my goal before 19.
If you’re new here, I’m trying to grow women’s golf viewership and inspire younger girls to be kind and competitive. Faith is essential to me, bows in my hair are inspired by Gracie Abrams, and yes—Alexis & Marissa are always welcome on the channel. Next big match? Toughest one yet.

Okay, guys. It’s my birthday. I am turning 18 today. And actually, I love these balloons. I’m posting on Instagram that it’s my 18th birthday. I thought this would be a really good opportunity to let you guys get to know me a little bit more. So, right now, I’m going to post on my story line uh a question and answer so you guys can get to know me a little bit better. And we will see. I mean, I’m literally going to open this up to as many questions as possible. It’s 8:00. It’s the end of my birthday, basically. And we’re going to go to the gym and answer these questions for you. Let’s see. I’m going to pick this photo right here. My cake was so amazing. We had it bow themed. Um, that’s why we had the balloons with the bows on it. My mom thought of every little detail. There’s a bow here, everywhere. So, we already celebrated, but I really hope there’s some good ones because I answered a lot of golf questions the first time. I want some more personal questions, background. We’ll see what the questions are, but we’re going to go to the gym right now. [Music] [Music] One more. I got one more of me. I got one more on me. [Music] Okay, the first question, top three schools you would like to go for to for golf if that’s the route that you guys that you want to take. Um, so this is probably the question that most people want to know and that I haven’t directly answered. So I’ve visited a lot of schools. I’ve visited all D1 top schools and one of them is top five in the country for women’s golf and I loved it. I loved the coach. I loved the kids. The girls on the team were so nice, so welcoming. Um, everything kind of just aligned. They loved that I had the social media element. Um, and I’m just not 100% sure if that’s still what I want to do. It’s always been my goal since I was little. D1 golf. Um, I could obviously go and do that if I want, but right now I also love social media and I don’t want to fully give that up and I don’t want to not have time for it anymore. I’m honestly just going to wait it out. I’ve got one year left of high school. I’m a senior. So, it takes a lot on this decision. I really want to make the right decision. I have not committed or anything. I’m not even 100% sure if that’s the route that I’m taking, but any girl would be proud to play for the school. If I was going, it would definitely be to that one. I’m not going to say what it is yet, but I think I would be proud to play for them no matter what. So, that’s that answer for right now. I’d also be very proud to continue doing what I’m doing with social media and maybe go the pro pro route and try and inspire as many girls as possible. I think I have a lot more thought to give this. The next question is, are we going to see Alexis and Marissa on the channel anytime soon? Um, honestly, I am welcoming to everybody on the channel as much as possible and I would love to have them on whenever they want. So, they are welcome. If Alexis and Marissa, if you’re watching this and you want to come on the channel again, you are totally welcome. I had a great time with them and and it doesn’t matter how many followers you have or anything. I want as many people to collab with and do social media content with as possible. So, they’re welcome on my channel at any time, whenever. This one says, “When are you playing a round with Tom Holland and Katherine Newton?” Uh, I would love to do that. If they’re watching, hit me up. Let’s play. I would love to play with Tom Holland and I would love to play with Katherine Newton. Like, that’s awesome. Do you ever want to play around here in California? I have played there so many times and I love California. It’s one of my favorite states. So, yes, anytime. Goal to do before 19. I just turned 18 today. I don’t have that goal yet. I’m not looking that far in the future, but I appreciate the question. Uh, I just got a question that says, “Will you go on a date with me?” Um, I do not know who you are, so that’s a tough one to answer. I would probably have to meet you in person first. This story line that I posted before I was in the ice bath, and someone commented, uh, how long did you stay in that ice bath for? I’m actually trying to do an ice bath every single day. And that was my resolution on my birthday. So, today was the first day I did it, and I stayed in there for 4 minutes. So, that’s not that bad. Like, the first time I did it, I was in there for 50 seconds. I just woke up and you guys know that I am all about starting the day off right. And that’s where David comes in. I love to have a healthy snack in the morning that’s good for me and that gets everything that I need. So, this is David and it has 28 g of protein, zero sugar, and 150 calories. That is a 75% calorie perforin ratio. That is the highest of any protein bar out there. And they taste very good. You guys have probably seen and heard me talk about them before. And honestly, it’s because they’re really that great for you. And they’re blood sugar friendly, gluten tested, backed by real science. This is a cinnamon roll flavor. It’s very, very good. If you’ve been looking for a protein bar that has everything that you need, trust me, these are actually the best because they check all the boxes. Zero sugar, 150 calories, 28 g of protein. Tastes very good. Scan the QR code on the screen or click the link in the description and head to davidproin.com cuz they’re amazing. Seriously, you guys will thank me later. Back to the video. I literally just bought an ice bath for my birthday. That was one of my birthday gifts. So, I’m determined to use it every single day. And that is what I’m definitely going to do. So, that’s my new resolution, I guess, for this year. My dad’s going to ask a few more of the questions while I work out. So, go ahead. What’s the next one? Is LPGA your goal? Um, I don’t know if LPGA is like my end goal. Um, I’d love to play in an LPGA tour event. Like, that would be amazing. But my goal is more to make a an actual impact for women’s golf. And I think I can use the LPGA for that as well. If I get to play in a tour event, that would be incredible. And it would just spark so many more people to watch the game that wouldn’t have before. So, that’s my goal. I would say my biggest goal is to get women’s golf viewership up as much as possible in the cleanest way. And so, however I can do that, that’s how I’ll that’s what I’ll want to do. Do you think you’ll still be making YouTube videos at 25? Um, I think so, but I don’t think it’ll be the main source of my content or I hope it’s not at least cuz that would unless it’s unless it’s taking off. I’d like to do some I’d like to like evolve it into something else. What that is, I have no idea. But hopefully my main source of content isn’t just YouTube videos, unless I have 50 million subscribers. But I still definitely want to be making YouTube videos. I just hope I have other things, too. My gosh, this exercise. Do you think Do you think social media is more positive or negative for your generation? Uh, I think it I think it’s can be used positive more positive than any of the other generations like millennials. I think it had more of a negative impact. I think that it has right now it has the power of being used more positively like than it ever has before, but it’s also extremely dark. Um, I think it just depends on like who I I think it depends on your own discernment. Like I I think it depends on which content you’re watching and if if if you’re watching positive content, then it could be great for you. Actually, it motivates me a lot sometimes. Do you see yourself more as an introvert or extra extrovert? Oh, I’m I’m a severe introvert. Like people don’t realize this. I speak loudly. I speak a lot on camera. I can always talk about something. I am the biggest introvert around other people. It’s crazy. Even people that I know, like unless it’s family, I’m an introvert. Even my friends, like I am an introvert. I don’t know why. The only place I feel comfortable is with my family or on camera. That’s it. And then I can be myself. I think you’ll find that with most YouTubers. Like they’re real introverts at heart. And it’s just the camera that helps them bring their personality out. It helped me a ton. I feel like actually I feel like a lot of extroverts are terrified to speak in front of cameras because they’re afraid people are going to judge them. Sometimes introverts have been isolated. So when they talk to the camera, it feels almost I don’t know how to explain it, but better like they’re not really afraid of criticism as much. More pull-ups. What’s your cheat day meal? Meal? I eat pretty healthy, but what’s a cheat day meal? Um, I’m really into gummy bears lately. I haven’t had any sugar, but for some reason I’ve been like snacking on gummy bears a lot recently. Feel like I’m going to bang my head into this. Oh, that’s so much harder on this side. That’s so much harder on this side. I feel like I’m going to bang my head into it. Yeah, this one’s This one’s pretty deep. Uhoh. What do you want your lifelong impact to be? Oh my goodness, that is such a deep question. I really I don’t know if I’ve thought about it that much. I I feel like I don’t know about lifelong but I I know that right now at least my impact would be I would love to inspire younger girls to not be afraid to and everybody says not to be afraid to be themselves which is great too but also like it’s okay to be something I struggle with for a long time was like I I wanted to do the right thing and I was always obsessed with doing the right thing as a kid and I feel like that’s kind of looked down upon when you’re younger. And I think it’s okay to be the nice, sweet, kind girl who can still accomplish things. People don’t see that. They only see the killer, either the killer who’s just like, I’m going to put in the work and I’m going to crush everybody, which I do do, but I’m not into crushing everybody else. Like, I think you could still be nice, sweet, and kind, and also really want to work hard yourself. So, I think that’s not encouraged enough. I think it’s only like, oh, be walked on or be the killer. I think you can I think you could be kind and still be a killer in your own way. Like, I don’t care to beat anybody on the leaderboard, but I do want to play really, really well. And I think you could still be nice to everybody and encourage others as well. So, that’s what I would love to do. Make that okay for younger girls. All right. So, this one’s just advice. Okay. I’m getting advice. Um, I think it’s pretty good advice. Just advice. Keep two to three friends close that were there before you got famous. Oh, that’s a great one. I I appreciate that advice and don’t worry, I don’t take that lightly. I um I have one friend who has been my friend since I was 5 or 6 years old and he’s still my best friend to this day. Um I had best friends at that age that are not friends anymore. Um and that was not my doing. But I think it is important that you keep one or two friends really, really close, especially before the fame and before everything blows up, someone that keeps you grounded. That’s my family for sure, but also this one friend. And I don’t have two or three of them, but I have one. I actually want to call him. Do you have my phone? I’ll put him on the video. He’s going to be so excited. Let’s see what he There we go. There we go. Hey, what’s up? You’re on a video. Do you want to be on the video? Wait, sure. I’ll be on the video. Are you Are you coming out of the Are you coming out of the hospital right now? I’m coming out of the um what’s it called? The medical school because we just did an annual training. Oh, nice. Volunteers. Nice. They asked one of the questions or one of the questions was um just advice, keep one or two friends close that you’ve had since before the fame. I said that’s definitely you. What what question is this for? No, it’s I did a Q&A. Did you see on my story? I did a Q&A for the video. That’s a great question. Hello. Hello. This is the friend. No, this this is the friend. It wasn’t actually a question. It was just advice. Oh, but let me call I’m just getting I’m getting in the car. Let me call you in like in seven minutes. I’ll call you in I’ll call you in 5 minutes. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Bye. Bye. See, that’s that’s the friend who’s who’s been there the whole time and encourages me so much on the social media um more than anybody else. He’s just ever since I was little also when I was younger, people don’t know this about me, but like I was obsessed with social media. I had uh an Instagram account for my golf at 6 years old and I wanted to be a trick shot artist. That’s all I wanted to do was be a golf trickshot artist. So everybody’s always like, “Why are you doing the trick shots and stuff like that?” I practiced so hard when I was younger to be a trick shot artist. And Aaron would sit there with me when I was younger. Actually, on my birthday when I was eight years old, I tried to do a trick shot and he sat there for like three hours handing me the balls and filming it, handing me I never got the trick shot and it was a complete waste of time, but all those little things that they got me here and so you have to remember the people that also like really really helped you out um just because they’re good friends. So that’s Aaron. This is honestly not my like real workout. Like I’m just getting something in for the day because it’s like late at night and I really had the urge to go to the gym. But I always do triceps and I always do legs. Although you’re probably not seeing any sort of routine to these workout exercises at all. Um, these just happen to be things that I always do. Like I always do triceps every single time I’m in the gym. I just pound these out for like 10 minutes. What has been your proudest accomplishment? Doesn’t have to be golf related. Oh my gosh, that’s another really deep question. Like these are deep. Um, I don’t know if it’s necessarily uh an accomplishment more so than a moment. The most pivotal moment in my life was when I decided to leave school and continue with the social media and pursue it. And it was my first year in high school. I was a freshman and I was getting ready for midterms and I just took an exit. There was an urge inside of me to take an exit off the normal typical route that most girls and most boys take, which is either going to school, you know, and and there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s amazing. Trying to do the best you can in school. And then there’s what most kids do, which is just go to parties and goof off. And there’s nothing wrong with that either. It’s just not who I am at all. Um, I just hate that stuff. It’s just not me. So, I wanted to do something really productive. And I became obsessed with social media and even took a real exit off of the golf route, which was a lot of young girls that I played golf tournaments with since I was five. Like, they just continued pursuing tournaments. And so did I while I was doing the social media, but also took a risk in putting myself out there, which was frowned upon. And the girls just hated it. They didn’t like it. Girls at school didn’t like it. girls on the golf course hated it because they felt like it’s not fair that I was putting myself out there when they did not have the confidence to do that in the themselves. So, and it obviously was rewarded and that was the most pivotal moment in my life. I’m so happy I chose to do it and like like honestly I didn’t have the confidence to do it then. I had no confidence in it. I just took the jump. I took the leap and it’s like for me I’m afraid of planes. I don’t have the confidence to get on the plane, but I do it anyways cuz it’s my job and I have to travel the world. And once you get to the new city, you’re like, “Okay, well, this is why I did it. This is amazing.” Um, most people just don’t have the confidence and they never take the jump. Um, I didn’t have the confidence and I took the jump and it paid off in the end. So, that was my most proud moment. This one says, “Can I have $1, please?” My gosh. Uh, I’d love to give you a dollar. Uh, I don’t know who you are and I don’t have your Venmo, so sorry. Um, but this one said, “Did you go to your senior prom?” No, I never went to I’m Well, I’m not a senior. Wait, wait, let me back up. I’m a senior this year. Uh, so I haven’t obviously had the senior prom. I didn’t go to my junior prom. Never been to homecoming. I’ve actually This is so embarrassing. I don’t even I may cut this out. I’ve never been to a party before, a high school party ever. Ever. The only the closest thing I’ve come to is a bar mitzvah. So that’s that’s about it. I really told you guys like I’m honest. I hate parties. I hate that stuff. It’s so not me. And I I honestly I took a risk. So like there’s going to be a lot of comments that are like you need to experience that stuff. I personally don’t enjoy it. And also like I’m okay. You have to I always say you have to sacrifice on one end. So if I went to the parties and I continued in school then I would have sacrificed on my dream which is social media and golf and I wouldn’t have been able to do that. would have I would have had a lifelong regret that I never did it at the time that I should have. So, I rather regret not going to that one party than a lifetime of regret of not doing what I love to do every single day. That to me is just more important. Going to go on the bike because I feel like that’s going to be more productive while I’m talking cuz otherwise I’m really not getting or get in at all. All right, this one. Did you ever think about quitting social media? Uh, I don’t think so. I I I feel like I’m lying here, but I really I don’t think so. Like, there’s never been a time that I remember that I was just like, I can’t do this anymore. Like, cuz honestly, I’ve enjoyed it all. The only thing I think I might have thought is maybe it would be a good idea if I went back to school. I thought that for a second. Um, but then I was like, actually, no, I hated that. So, no, I’m not doing that. Yeah. Yeah, I mean I’ve definitely had some highs and lows. Like with social media, it’s an immediate response of analytics and numbers. So you put something out there that you worked really hard on and you really thought was going to do well and do does horrible. Um that is really like riding a high and a low, which is like really tough, but I know that that’s like I know going into that into social media that that’s what it’s going to be like. So I try and just keep going because it’s part of social media. Do you think do you think being in the spotlight end has made you grow up faster as a person? You think is that what that means? I guess so. Uh for sure. But I was already like like everybody always said I was like an old soul. Like I I just I’ve always been mature. Like someone said to me today like you’re turning 18, but you’ve always been an adult, so it’s like really not that much of a big difference for you. So I don’t know. Maybe definitely it has, but I was always pretty much pretty mature for my age. What’s one lesson you learned this year that changed how you think? If I do you want me to be honest cuz I can get really raw. I could get really raw and and you’re not going to see the side of me. What was the question again? Let me let me explain. I want to think about it. A lesson you learned this year that changed how you think? If I’m being honest, and I have not said this to anyone yet, so this is like a lot to take in, but this year specifically, I’ve always dealt with anxiety. I’ve always been like had generalized anxiety my whole life. Um, I think that just becomes comes with like I’m just a very obsessive person, so it just kind of like comes with it. Um, but this year specifically, past couple months, had severe severe anxiety. I never was a depressed person and I didn’t have depression, thank God, because I kept doing what I was doing and going at it with a really positive attitude. It’s hard to have severe anxiety and wake up every morning and be like, “Oop, I got to be positive now. Like, I’ve got a job. I’ve got things to do. I’ve got school work.” Um, and I can’t be that person. So something that I learned is I had a really different perspective on when everyone’s like, “Oh, you know, she celebrities say that they have anxiety and it’s a lot.” I’m not putting myself in that category, but I think it’s hard. Like it’s hard for anybody, celebrity, non-ceelebrity, everybody has some sort of anxiety and it can get really bad at times. Um, so I think I just learned to empathize more with the fact like if it’s not your day and you don’t want to do something today, that’s totally fine. I’ve tried to put more of a cut off. Like I’ve always been 24 hours working and that helped me for a really long time. It was actually more healthy for me to always keep my brain going. But now I’ve realized I need to kind of like work a 9 to5 and take the rest of the time of the day to really work on myself. That sounds so like wellness like but it’s true. Like I need to relax and that’s going to help me cuz I’ve been 24 hours for way too long. So I’ve really learned to empath empathize and realize like anxiety is totally real. I’m just grateful that I had didn’t have any depression or anything like that. So, it’s just a lot of fears and I think you can manage it if you start to put plans in front of you. So, that’s what I learned a lot structuring more. I just got a text from Davis. So, Davis, for most of you, I I don’t think any of you know, Davis was a big inspiration for me at the beginning. He was the one who both times, first of all, when I first started social media, I was posting golf workout videos. And he told me to start talking to the camera and using my golf game as like the inspiration and the content. I didn’t believe him cuz I was so afraid to talk to the camera going to school and I was afraid I would get bullied for it. And he was like, “You need to take that leap when you’re ready.” He really pushed me in the best way. And I did it. And like he said, it absolutely took off. Um then when it took off, he was like, “You need to start a YouTube channel. That’s the next step.” And we used to like brainstorm up until like 3:00 in the morning. Um talking about ideas, talking about ideas at our kitchen table, just talking at about ideas. And he happens to actually be the videographer and producer for um the world’s biggest fishing channel, Back to Page. And he is an incredible person. And I was just saying I felt sad because he was at my he celebrated my birthday two years in a row. The past two years he was there. We went out to dinner with my family and him one of my only friends that was there and he’s not here this year and I felt bad about it and for and for good reason. He’s traveling all over the world right now. He’s literally going to Fiji next week. So I mean that’s pretty awesome. I just learned, this is disgusting. I just learned the stat today that touching gym equipment, gym equipment has 364 times the amount of bacteria and germs that a toilet seat has. That is disgusting. You could lick a toilet seat and you’ll be 364 times less likely to get sick. that than touching this right here. That’s gross. So, make sure you wash your hands after cuz it is disgusting. Like people know the real you from your videos. No. Yes, but no. I mean, totally. Yes. In personality, no in like I don’t think you could ever know the real person based off social media. But my personality is exactly the same on camera that it is with my family. But I did say before that I am an introvert, which is true. So it’s like funny because like if I meet people that watch my social media and stuff, my camera personality, which is my true personality, comes out more than if I was just talking to someone who has no idea who I am and doesn’t know anything about golf or anything like that. I’m a severe introvert with that. But my real personal personality around my family and on camera and when I meet people that know me is that’s that’s the best personality. That’s really me. And if I’m, you know, going up to regular people that I, you know, like I don’t really want to start a conversation and I’m like that that freaks me out. I don’t I don’t want to do that. And I’m not even afraid of getting like judged or anything. I just find it awkward. What about people who come up to you? People that come up to me that know who I am. Yeah. Oh, that I’m that is this camera personality. the real personality that I have. I feel so much more at home and at ease with people that come up to me, I feel like that is like a real real connection. I feel like I know the person. It’s weird because like I don’t actually know them, but like I feel like we’ve been friends before, so I could be myself. It’s very awkward, but I’ but I actually feel like myself with them. Um, do you think YouTube is harder now than when you first started? 1,000%. YouTube is like, if I had to put a number on it, 250 times harder than it was when I started. I think it’s almost impossible if you’re starting now. Not to discourage anybody, just setting expectations. It’s very tough. You’re going to have to grind for for for if I had to grind for like 6 months, I think you’d have to grind for like 2 years, 3 years without stopping. Uh now, especially in the YouTube golf space, it’s just really saturated, which is a good thing because we have so many people that want to be in the space. I love that. A lot of pe creators are like don’t really like that. I think it’s great. I just would advise anybody that’s trying to get into YouTube golf specifically, it’s going to be hard. So, stick it out because it’s going to be very tough and and and I actually enjoy that we have more creators now, but you know, it it’s tough to get there. I don’t know why I’m standing up here, but I like it. I feel so much is this is this what what height am I right now next to you you’re 63 or 6’4 I’m 6’3 right here so you’re about 7 ft I’m 7t tall this is what it feels like to be Victor webin he’s 71 76 No he’s not no he’s not yeah so you are Oh, that’s not true. You’re about 7 ft there. That’s not true. He’s He’s not He’s That’s not true. He’s got to be 71. Oh, no. He’s like 73 or 74. He’s 74. He’s 74. What? I’m wrong. 74. Wait. 74. I thought he was No, he’s well over 7 ft. That That’s height. That’s like the most searched thing when you search. Is 73. 73. Okay. I was wrong. You were wrong. I was closer. Um, I always get scared with this thing. It’s going to just like fall. What’s the dream collab? Dream collab. Are we talking realistic? Well, I guess dream is not realistic, right? Um, dream is Dream is not real. Dream is Dream is a dream. Yeah. Okay. Come true, but not going to come true. Uh, it’s it’s Gracie Abrams or Taylor Swift. And that’s not going to happen cuz I’m pretty sure I Well, actually, I know for a fact they don’t play golf. Okay. What about golf? Golf. Golf. Golf. Dream club. Yeah. Uh I don’t think that’s impossible though. There’s one I think is impossible. Well, there is one that’s impossible. I’ll give you a name. That’s Michael Jordan. There you go. That’s That’s Dream. That’s Yeah. Okay. So, golf. Yeah. Golf Dream collab for sure. Michael Jordan. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Steph Curry is very very good. I I actually This is contro. I actually like Steph Curry a lot more than Michael Jordan. I was You’re never going to get Michael Jordan. Yeah, I shouldn’t say that, right? Yeah. I mean, like I I’m just saying like I was not alive when he was playing. I actually don’t think When did he stop playing? He stopped playing in 90. Okay. So, I wasn’t alive then. So, I can’t really be a true fan. Oh, but LeBron would be good. That that would be good. That would be good. Do you see yourself more as an entrepreneur or entertainer long term? It’s a really good question. I mean, I like to be both, but you’re saying more. Which one more? So, let’s say hypothetically I’m both. Which one would I like to be more of? I think my heart leans towards entertainer. more of I’d love to be an entrepreneur as well though. I think you can do both but if I’m talking like 6040 I rather be in front of the camera cuz I selfishly because I feel like that’s my true personality and it helps get my creativity out there and it’s like if you know like a not to you know compare myself to an artist but like when you put a piece of artwork out there it’s really a proud moment for the artist. For me, it’s like when you create YouTube videos or any sort of social media content, it’s like putting my create creation, my art work out there. And so I would say 6040 entertainer, 40% entrepreneur. Who has influenced you the most outside of golf? Who has influenced me the most outside of golf? Uh, okay. Okay. So the let’s talk I have two answers. One is way more important than the other. One, I think some people have heard me talk about it. My faith is extremely important to me. It’s the most important thing. And you know, as a Christian, you want to be as much like Christ as possible. Although that’s not going to happen cuz we’re all just not. And so for me, my faith in Jesus is the biggest thing for me. But if we’re talking like celebrities that have influenced me um like in my personality, like my personality and morals and my how I am comes from my faith in Jesus. And then personalitywise, like my interests and inspiring me is my favorite singer, Gracie Abrams. That’s like my favorite singer and I would love to meet her and like she’s just helped me through so much with her music. So, like she inspires me. Wait, like I wouldn’t be wearing bows if it wasn’t for Gracie. So, everybody knows that I wear like the bow in my hair on the ponytail. That is my inspiration from Gracie. That’s why I wear the bows on my head. Um, what’s the biggest thing that annoys you? The biggest thing that annoys me? Oh my goodness. Anything? A lot. That’s the problem. A lot annoys me. Uh oh man, it it’s it comes from sometimes and this is bad but like it comes from sometimes personality with other people where just they sometimes I feel like people like a some people have pet peeves of people chewing loudly. My pet peeve is when others try and try try and uh how do I explain this in the best way? um put themselves out there and care so much about what other people think. Like that makes me cringe inside. So like I think when other people are trying so hard to be accepted, they change who they are. Um that’s something that even though like in general what annoys me the most is when other people change who they are to just be accepted and they care so much what other people think. I think you got to work on yourself enough to to get to the point where you have confidence and not want to care that much what people think. And I think if you can do that, then you’re going to be so much happier. So that’s like what annoys me when I see people do that. Just what advice would you give someone who is struggling in golf? How do you overcome bad golf? I think I think the main thing is a lot of people don’t say this like you need the bad golf in order to overcome bad golf cuz I think in life always I saw someone say like if someone would have just told me and this is someone else talking if someone would have just told me that there was light at the end of the tunnel which there always is going through the tunnel would have been a lot better. So telling you that it’s going to get better and going through the bad golf, walking through the tunnel is the only way that you can get through to the light on the other side. Nothing’s going to help you in the moment. It’s just chipping away. And I try and do this. I struggle with this myself. It’s like I’m always like get in a rut and I’m like it’s not it’s not going to get better. Can’t get better. If you constantly remind yourself that in a couple days, couple months, couple years it’s going to get better. It gives you a little bit more hope and that in life and in golf like you really have to go through the bad golf in order to know with keeping in mind that you will get better. It you it’s not going to be possible. You’re going to get better. You want to comment on opinion on the live golf league? Oh yeah. I nobody’s heard me talk about this. Uh I have a lot of opinions. Uh, I think I’m not like a harsh I don’t care that much on either side. Um, if we’re talking strictly on the league, I think there’s a lot of things that they could do that would get them more viewership cuz I know they’re struggling a little bit. Um, but I think there’s also a lot of things the PGA Tour is doing that they should totally do differently. Both sides are just not making good decisions, honestly. And I think like the number one thing which Liv has actually done is try and get the creators as much as possible to be uh integrated in their content which I think PJ tour needs to take some sort of understanding from. Yes, they have the creator classic and that’s great but they should be doing more. So, I think that there’s on either side a lot of work that needs to be done and everybody’s like, “Oh, well, you know, LPJ Tour needs to get going on that, too.” And I agree, but everybody in golf needs to like speed it up a little bit and like bring the creators in. Try and push golf forward a little bit more than than they actually are. They’re trying to make it seem like they are, but they’re when you really dig down to it, they’re not. So, there’s a lot of opinions on either side, but I I I don’t really care that much on either side. I try and keep doing what I’m doing, and I’m not like against either side. It’s so funny like my boxing trainer when I was taking boxing lessons, she would come over here and like make me run before we started our lesson. I was like, “Great. I love running. It’s my favorite thing.” And she’s like, “Yeah, no, you’re going to run though at 5 miles hour.” I was like, “Five miles hour? I so slow. I’m going 8 when I do my my runs, 3 mile runs. I’m going 8 miles an hour.” She’s like, “No, you’re going to go at 5 miles an hour. We’re going to have a conversation for the next 20 minutes.” And I did not realize how hard that was. That might have been the hardest run ever. I don’t know if anybody else experiences this, but it is so much harder to run slow and talk rather than sprint at like 9 miles an hour for three miles. The only reason I paused boxing lessons is because my trainer Coral, shout out Coral, just had a baby. So, congratulations to her, but also we will start going back into boxing cuz I really enjoyed it and I need to work on my running and talking skills. Sabrina from Golf Pro Games invited you to go on a GGG trip. She would be a great addition to their corrosion. That’s a good That’s a good question. Uh, no, I have not gone on a trip with them. Um, but I love Sabrina and we’ve done a couple things together. She’s a great person. Um, but no, I don’t we don’t have plans to go on a trip anytime soon. Um, comment on her page though if you want to see that happen. We’ll see if we can make it happen. But, um, I’d love to I’d be excited to do that. Would love to do it. And I’m so open to having anybody on my channel. Like, I am really open to any collabs. Um, anyone that wants to do with a collab with me, I will 1,000% do it. I think if the person is a good person, why not have them on the channel? For me, it’s about moral, ethical, good people. If you’re a moral, ethical, good pe person, and I know that, you are more than welcome on the channel. If you’re not, you don’t come on the channel. That’s it. Because I trying to set an example and I don’t want to be around people that are not good people. They’re not moral. They’re not ethical. Just like you won’t see me advertising anything that I don’t believe in. Um cuz there are young girls that are watching this channel and I would never want that if I was a younger girl watching this channel. All right, this one is what is your favorite swing thought? Um, I used to have a swing thought that was like before every single shot I would say the most positive thing. So, like for example, if I had a 7 foot putt, I would say, some people may remember this from my videos, but I would say like I’m making this putt. This ball is going in that hole. And like that worked for a really long time. And I think at the beginning it works a lot. But sometimes like the best swing thought is literally no thought at all. Once you get into the circle of your swing, it’s like once you enter near the ball, don’t think about anything because it’ll just mess with you. So, I tried all different things. I don’t think there’s one right answer, but positive you can never really go wrong with. My hamstrings have been hurting so bad recently. Wow. Like really bad. I don’t know why. Uh I think it’s from the squats. Uh, what is one value you will never compromise on? I’ve said this so many times. I love that question and I I just just being kind. Again, goes back to everyone wants you to be a killer. I hate that. I think you could be so competitive and not be a killer. You could be the kindest, sweetest person, but not want to crush other people. I never understood that. I think yeah, of course you want to be the best, but you want other people to do well, too. That’s just like crazy. I don’t I don’t understand how people could want to be the best and want everybody else to just suffer because I’m number one. You know what I loved? When I played with Steph Curry, and I really took this from this video, I was like shocked by this answer because I haven’t heard an athlete put it like this before, but I said, you know, do you trash do you trash talk on the on the court? And he’s like, “Yeah, I’ll defend myself, but I will never start with someone like everybody else starts with me. I’ll only defend myself.” And he’s still the best. You can still be kind and you could still be respectful to everyone and treat everyone with compassion, but still be the best. Like, you don’t you can you you don’t you only have to defend yourself. You don’t have to start with people. You don’t have to say, “Well, I really want to beat this one person.” If that’s what you’re doing it for, you’re doing it for the wrong reason. All right, so this one is uh who is your celebrity crush? Oh my goodness. Um I have a few. I like I think Okay, you’re going to probably see a a pattern here cuz what I look for in a guy is like I want someone that’s not I I don’t need that’s the tough guy. I don’t want I want somebody who is gentle and kind. I need someone that’s going to match my energy. Like, okay, I’m super super rambunctious, I would say, when I’m around people like my family or on camera like I was describing. I am an extrovert in those scenarios. And then I exert a lot of energy. So, I need someone who’s calm. Um, but celebrity crushwise, I would think I have a few. Okay. Louisie Partridge. Uh Conrad from The Summer I Turned Pretty, Christopher Bryin, that’s his real name. Um and then I also really like Role Model who’s a singer. Um and they’re all there’s I think what I’m looking for is a calm, gentle uh but like also really focused on what they’re doing. Like I need somebody who’s maybe not in golf. a guy that has interests that are like respectable like and that they’re actually being successful in like I don’t like when I don’t like when guys have like a million different things that they do. I want somebody that has one or two interests that they’re really good at. I’m also big on motivation cuz it’s something that drives me as well. I think I need a guy that is really passionate about what he’s doing, but then when I come into his life is really passionate about me. So I motivate him to actually want to do better at whatever he’s driven to do. That’s really important to me. Um because I think that’s what drives me. I’m really motivational. I’m a ver really I really need a motivation and dedication to what I’m doing. But so I need someone like that as well, but also someone who’s super calm. I need a guy that’s really calm because I’m a lot of energy and I need a guy that when I’m kind of not working, I need to relax. Oh, you know who else? Charleslair. But who doesn’t like Charles? I actually could go on. I have I have a feel. I could keep going. I have a lot of Oh, and Harry Styles and Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber. A lot of singers. A lot of singers. A lot of male pop artists. Like a ton. All right. Um, who is your next big match? Okay. So, my next big match is going to be the toughest match I’ve ever ever done. You can go back and look at all my collabs on my popular videos on this channel. You can see Nelly Corda. You can see Broo Henderson. You could see Steph Curry. And I’m telling you, and John Rom, this one’s gonna be tougher. Not that John Rom isn’t one of the best golfers, but this one is going to be the toughest match. I promise you that. I can’t tell you anymore, but this next one is by far the tough. It may be one of the toughest we ever do, but it’s going to be really, really tough. Thank you guys for watching. See you guys next time.

Happy Birthday, Gabby!! Welcome to adulthood! 🙂
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Notre Dame!!!
Happy Birthday!
All the creeps are going to go crazy now 😂
You talked a bit about anxiety. Oddly, I sent a message regarding being kind and then you brought up kindness over and over again so maybe that was a waste of a lot of typing. But getting back to anxiety…..I love the feeling of being anxious. Most don’t like it at all and when they feel it most run away from it if they can. Successful people recognize it for what it is and it generally amounts to finding yourself outside of your comfort zone. What makes the comfort zone comfortable is that we know that zone inside and out. We know where everything is and could walk through it with out eyes closed. We know where every gotcha resides. Knowing every threat and how to deal with them gives us confidence that nothing can hurt us. When we climb the fence and go out of our comfort zone, it is just the opposite. We don’t know where the threats are nor do we know if we are capable of handling them. Everything is new unexplored territory and it is scary. However, as we play around outside of our comfort zone, we learn all the threats and gain experience in dealing with them. Eventually, it becomes part of our comfort zone and so our comfort zone gets bigger and bigger. Anxiety is our alert that we are entering more unexplored territory but each time we do it, it becomes easier and our comfort zone continues to grow. Anxiety eventually becomes our notice that we are about to grow and growing is good. We need to remember that ALL learning takes place outside of our comfort zone. When we eventually recognize scary experiences as learning opportunities, we still feel anxiety but we process that “feeling” differently and it paves our way to personal growth and success. Embrace your anxiety.
Happy Birthday Gabbi.
Nope, if you were my daughter, I would still tell everyone that you are 14.
You did not reveal your boyfriend

Happy birthday Gabriella, tanti auguri dall'italia…
Happy Birthday Gabby!
Happy Birthday Gabby. I think that this was just a great video. Not my usual golf enjoyment video. That being said followers have a preconceived idea of who people are that they follow, ninety percent of the time it is false conception or just what they want to believe. This was just a breath f fresh air so when I watch you on your next video I feel I better know the real you behind the camera. But one thing I will say that I felt I knew before this and now seeing this video has cemented my belief is that you are a wonderful young lady an a inspiration to all the young women growing up. Your parents should be proud of you. I know I would be.
Happy birthday may god bless you with many more to come enjoy your day
Happy 18th Bday Gabby !
You’re an adult now , when I turned 18 my dad did the one thing that completely changed my life a turning point . He said we are going out find you an apartment I (dad) will pay the firsts months rent after that youre on your own ! The first day moving in was the 1st day of the rest of my adult life sink or swim I got a min wage job and life began I learned how to manage money because I had to. My rent was 325$ a month making 5$ an hour.baby bird tossed from the nest and never looked back. I’m 62 now retired and what a journey. Let go of the rope lil bird
My opinion social media is the root of all evil today. I call Facebook Judgebook. You post stuff so people can judge you ohh plz people like me like meeee a keyboard warrior hiding behind the screen and criticizing others is evil and people get up everyday addicted to that garbage.if one doesn’t look like that fake Ai girl then one starves themselves or takes anti fat needles gets bad anxiety hates themselves takes meds after. Yuh see. Evil
Congratulations on your 18th birthday and you’re very beautiful with a great personality and I love your content. Just curious why you color your hair blonde if you have beautiful brunette hair.
Gabby made good points on the PGA vs LIV topic. Personally I much prefer LIV. I like 54 hole tournaments, the Team aspect, shotgun starts, and big names in every event. I also agree with Gabby that the LPGA could do more to grow their product.
Happy Birthday Gabby!!! When do I get to come be on Your channel…we need to share Jesus with this world!!!
UConn lol 😂
Happy Birthday!! 🍰🎂
I hope your next match is Bryson Dechambeau but I bet its Grant Horvat.
Gabby, why would you think you would neglect your social media if you went to a homecoming dance or prom ? There is only 1 time in your life that you will experience those things. You can always do social media. I'm NOT talking about going to parties, but school dances. You should try to go if you can.
Gabby, this old man would rather see your youtube content less often knowing you are persuing an education and growing socially in a college oriented environment. Happy Birthday! My b'day is September 1st. 🙂 Rock On! I think you'd be missing out if you passed up D1 golf.
Happy Birthday Gabby
Yeah! You are now legal…to gamble on the course. I will be looking for you lol. Happy bday and your swing is still sublime.
Happy 1️⃣8️⃣th ⛳️. 🏌️♀️
