Welcome back to the podcast. This podcast looks a little bit different because we are in Lake Tahoe on behalf of Travis Matthew for the American Century Championship. We're at Edgewood Country Club. It's beautiful here. You can see the shot. You can literally look. The lake is behind us. This is one of, this is, I keep saying it. Top 10 most beautiful places I've ever been in my life. Really? Not gonna lie. Yeah, you do keep saying that. What's the other one? Hawaii? Hawaii's up there. Travis Matthew has two incredible retail trailer set up here at Edgewood. We're on top of one of them filming this podcast. Pretty awesome. It's amazing. We'll cut to a clip. I'll do a little pan on the iPhone. You guys can see what's going on. There's a basketball hoop behind me. I don't know if you can see in the shot. Celebrities are coming up. Jason Kelsey, Steph Curry. They're taking shots. Trevor Lawrence was just here. He has beautiful hair that I don't have. Long, luscious locks. Maybe he could donate something to me. Go ask him. He's literally right there. We're also decked out in our Travis Matthew gear. I feel comfortable. It's made to meet the moment. Look at this. I mean, I'm loving this. The pants yesterday were awesome. The shoes are awesome. I have literally no complaints. This is my favorite bread. It's something about being decked out all in Travis Matthew gear that made me feel cool. I feel like it made me play better. We played in the pro and yesterday. And we looked like the most official players out there. We didn't play like the most official players. I actually played okay for me. We did. I feel like we both played okay. We did. 89. We shot good golf shots. That's all that matters. Got tough golf course. So libraries are going to be stopping by all weekend long. We're going to be here to watch it. There's a big roar behind me on the 17. We're right here in the action. Who's our guest today, Brian? Our guest today is Gabby Golf Girl. We've had her on a man on the street video before at what? The tour championship. Which BJ tour. Yeah. She's awesome. We just played in the pro. I'm with her. She's a stick at golf. And she's only 18 or 19 years old. She's got some controversial takes. She does. I'm excited. We get into it. We filmed it prior, but we're going to cut to it. Right? Are we doing it now? You want to cut it right? We can do it right now. Right? Just call. Let's cut to it right now. Just do it. We're going to do it right now. Before we get into the interview with Gabby, I do want to disclaim and say that we had a little bit of issue with her audio. But the interview was so good, so much fun. So I was looking forward to sharing it. And we still are going to share it. Thank you guys for your patience for following, listening to the podcast. Let's get into the interview, people. We're here with our guest, Gabby Golf Girl. Hi. We met at East Lake for a tour championship. A while ago. Yeah, that was a while back. I just want to start off an ass because we never went through it. How'd you get into content and once you start playing golf? So I started playing golf really, really young, like two years old. This is like a shocker. My dad was kind of like obsessed with watching golf, but not actually playing song. Are you good? Yeah. And he basically bought some clubs from my birthday at two years old. They were like paying-- The rear of this young. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I heard about. Literally. And the clubs were bigger than me. And I had like insisted at hitting the golf ball on the pavement and not on the grass in our front yard as a whole thing. Interesting. And it's all in video. And then I had been playing golf tournaments since I was five. And so I was like a super competitive high level. I was like third in the world at 7 years old. Like that was my-- Damn. It was like my whole life. And then I kind of grew up. I still continue to play tournaments at a high level. I was going to play college D1. I was like, hey, maybe LPJ. Maybe that's the route. Then when I got to about 14 years old, I had a golf trainer, like a workout trainer, rehearsal trainer, who was doing content and went from like 800 followers to 50,000 followers in two months by post the every day. Yeah. And this is like such a niche. You post golf workout videos, not talking. This really old social media in my mind. Like, I know I'm young, but like-- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to win you guys. I'm sorry. We're on now. I think six years ago, we started like five and a half. Yeah. So like this guy started like seven, eight years ago. But it was a while ago, you know, different world then. So I was like, what are you doing? You have to tell me, it was over the summer. And he was like, I just post every single day. Just do it. So whenever anybody that knows me personally knows that I am like the most particular person in the whole world. Like, it's so much more than people think. And I am just so organized and so obsessive. Maybe OCD a little bit. And so when I commit to something, I commit to it for like a goal of six months. And then without stop every single day. So I did that with running, I did that with everything. So I said, I'm going to commit to posting every single day and see what happens. And I only get 10,000 followers, which sounds like a lot about I was doing like, three times. I feel like at that time too, like it's different. It was good. There was like, during COVID, like there was this big pop. Yes. Like we gained fast on COVID when we started. It was like a year into it. But like 10,000, like after a year, that was our goal. Yeah. Did you start growing on TikTok in September? You just answered just answer that. That's interesting because we started mainly solely on TikTok, yeah, and then move the audience elsewhere. I don't think I even had TikTok until like 16 years old. Because I just wasn't TikTok, I was chronically online. Don't get me wrong. But like, I was not on TikTok for several years now. And so I just went on Instagram. I was posting these videos. They were super niche. I literally even if I was sick, I had videos locked. Then I kind of like deemed a friend of a friend who had mutuals with and it was a long story. Anyways, I called him. He was a videographer for a YouTube channel at the time. Big YouTube channel. And I was like, do you want me? Can I get some advice on stuff for social media? He's like, meet tonight. Let's go. We go out to dinner. He tells me this like one golden rule. That was so important. Now that I look back on, talk to the camera. People are going to be so intrigued in your personality. I just thought, like, come on. Like, nobody cares about it, girl. I feel like I don't know. That's what I thought. You know, because no one's out there doing it. The first video I posted, then like a week later, it was a shot of me literally going, I'm going to hit below this tree, hit a hook shot, and I'm going to hit it on the fairway. Which is pretty easy for me. It is a commercial, but not easy for me. But like, I didn't realize that people had seen it. And they got like a million views overnight. And then I gained 100,000 followers for the two weeks. Damn. It was crazy. That was nuts. I saw, when I first saw your content, you were doing like a giveaway with part three, a whole and one stuff. And I just feel like like incentivizing the follow is a big part of that. Oh, yeah. And it's like if people have a chance to be invested or like want to be in on something, like your content kind of crafted that in my head. That's why I was like, oh, I want to watch this. I want to participate. I want to win the money. That's actually interesting. You started following around the whole one. Because that was a time. Man, that was such a time. It was literally right after Christmas. And we were thinking of like, what is the most viral thing we could do? And we thought, like, this is a tip that if anyone is watching, and once again, the social media, I say my biggest tip for anyone is think of the word universe. Not necessarily ruinedly, but universal. What do people think that's universal? And to me, the first thing that I thought of was money. Yeah. Who doesn't know money, you know what I'm saying? So I took money, I brought in the golf and I was like, hey, what if we just gave it away, you know? And people didn't believe I was actually gonna give money away. And I think that also shocks people too. But of course, like, people, that thing blew up. Yeah, what's more than you did a get to? It got such $2,100, something like that, maybe more. Yeah, which is great. If you're just watching content and you're entertained by the fact that you could win money you'd like watching it, like, of course, people are going to soon. The girl who won, like, I didn't know anything about it. I randomly picked it. She happened to live in like Lucuna Beach. She was a nurse. And she had just gotten so gorgeous, right? Yeah. And she had just gotten into golf and she was like, no, like, I needed this money. Thank you so much. And I was like, I just thought that was, that was so awesome for me. Talking about how you got started with YouTube golf. I have a question for the future. Okay. Would you rather be a full-time YouTube golfer or on the LPAGI tour? My answer is so controversial. 'Cause it's a grant form. It's a grant form that obviously wants to be a YouTuber. But he dabbles. He tries to get an event and stuff like that. Would you want to go that route? Or is there like a moment where you might be like, let's just full send it and go in? There's also professionals who are like leaning into YouTube golf. So it kind of goes both ways, it's true. So there's a longer answer. And it's very controversial because of my consciousness that I might just want to go LPAGI, right? Even though I've never said that before or really alluded to it, I just think 'cause I'm a girl golfer, I think they just think, okay, so therefore she wants to go pro. It's not like other sports, whereas if you were a basketball player, You did tricks. Who's the guy that I'm thinking of? You know, go on. Yep, yep. What's that? I mean, second? Oh, oh, uh, T. T. Yes, T. Yes, right. Like that. Do you say T. No, no, I didn't say. I think you should take my insight. Um, that guy, he's like, no, I don't think he's going to go pro. He's good. Yeah, amazing. But he's like tricks. And so he's more than an entered trainer. Yeah, but like people don't assume he's going to go pro. Yeah. You know, and I think with girls, because it's not like that big of a space. I think they think the only option is to go pro. So my answer is my whole life, it was LPJ. Mm-hmm. I gratefully and thankfully have gotten so many opportunities to play with LPJ tour players play an Epson tour event. Like I got in a front row seat. And I realized like ashes, not really the life I want to live right now. And that does mean that I don't play competitively. Like I play pro golf. Right now. Like I play in a tournament like every week. And I could be against all men. I'm the only girl. So like, I want to get better. I still want to play well. But it is just like, you know, I love what I get. I get so much right. You guys know, like how much fun is it? Well, even being able to play ESC because of Travis Matthew. Exactly. Going to have to be played at Wood Country Club, which is where we're filming. Just being able to do that. And like hitting in front of crowds and people. We've never done that before. Really? That was the first time in front of a live audience. And they started us on the 17th hole. The most packed sold by the guys right there. Which is the whole. If you made a hole in one, you make a million dollars. Which is, I hit my shot thin. Good shot. It was all mine. But like, I was here for the sound of it. I was like, it wasn't as good as double bogey the whole because, you know, I thought it was it. The bunker. It was tough. I borrowed the whole. You borrowed the first two. I have a question for you. Yeah. If you had to guess, we played around yesterday.
all together. If you had to guess our handy caps, what would you guess? >> It's amazing. So my friend and I, we were talking about it last night, we genuinely thought, we thought you were amazing. We thought, we were not expecting how good that you guys were, like that's not that, you know. >> I feel like we didn't even show it. >> The door was slow and you guys were here. So I would say like genuinely, I want to say seven or eight. >> For both of us? >> Yeah, I think you guys are both like the same. >> Wait, what is your handy cap? >> I'm an eight handy cap. >> Your name handy cap? >> Yeah, do you know what I started the season at? >> What? >> 18. >> No way. >> I'm a 14 now. >> Really? >> I'm trending. >> I'm trending. >> Did you bring this for me yesterday? >> I did. >> And that's a tough course. >> The 91. >> Yeah, it'll go lower. >> I think my handy cap went up yesterday, I probably answered the above. >> That's the biggest compliment I've got. >> I could say you guys would get to, in a year, if you played twice a week, in a year, eight senals. I could say you would get down to six and you would get down to nine. >> So I did that two summers ago and I was playing two, three times a week. I got down to a 5.8. >> See, yeah. >> So I know the potentials there you go. >> Yeah. >> And it's more consistent call from your fun. >> Yeah. >> We're known to play a lot of games. >> Okay. >> We have a bunch of games. We only have a limited time. >> Okay. >> We're going to get right into the games. >> Go ahead. >> We ask you this at East Lake actually. >> Okay. >> And your answer was a little controversial, but we kind of agreed with you. >> I did go viral because I saw it. Like weeks later, I didn't see it first. >> Yeah, we're going to run it again. >> Okay. >> If you a chance to redeem or double down. >> I don't remember my answer was. >> Okay. >> You got it. >> You got it. Which U.S. state has the best golf courses? So the winner moves on. I'm going to give you two matchups. The King of the Hill wins at the end, okay? >> Okay. >> I'm going to be controversial here. >> California or Florida? And you're Florida, right? >> I'm from New York. >> From what's Chester? >> What do you live in? >> But I live in Florida right now. >> I forgot. >> But it's okay because you're now hitting me with my top three states. >> Oh, wow. >> New York and California. And it's so freaking hard. >> Yeah, lock in here. >> Okay, Florida. More golf courses. I'm going to say like in a condensed area. >> I would agree with that. >> Florida has some gorgeous private golf courses. Not a great selection of public ones. >> Yeah. >> Because I have played a lot of them. I play all the tournaments there. California has better public golf courses and has gorgeous privates. >> Okay. >> I'm going to say California. >> Okay. >> California. >> I know it's hard like that. Florida golf to me, like the private golf courses. >> It's similar. >> They're exceptional, they're great. But like there's too much water down there. >> It's too much water. It's the same type of layout every single time. Here, you can't compete. California in all categories on this one thing is that they have so much vegetation. You've got the mountains. You've got so much variety. And in golf, how can you, one state and you've got every type of golf? >> Yeah. >> Can I ask you what your favorite course in each of those states is? >> Yeah. >> Just right on the back. California, sure kind of, like our disc golfers are playing. >> Okay. >> Florida, this is tough. I'll go to Westchester, I'll go to New York first. My favorite golf course in New York is in between two. >> You're going to go to Long Island? >> No, I'm not. And I've played in Long Island. >> I've played in Long Island. I have a lot of favorites in New York. My favorite public golf course. If you guys ever get the chance, there's two. One in Innis, which up north, aboard New York, if you ever get the chance. And then huts and hills. It's like not the best, it's nostalgic for me. That's a public golf course. It's a great place. >> Okay, that's like the home course. >> Yeah, I grew up playing there. And then on the private, I'd say, I went foot like, feels fair enough. >> Okay, so California moves on. >> California moves on. >> I have a feeling that California's going to move on until we get to New York. >> Yeah. >> California or Texas? >> California. >> Okay. >> California or Nevada? >> It's my-- >> It's my-- >> Nevada. >> Is it Nevada? >> We got corrected by our new driver. >> People say Nevada. >> So what's the New York accent? Because we all have the Jersey New York accent. >> We have to say Nevada. >> Nevada. >> But it's in Nevada. >> So how do you guys say, like, how do you-- >> Or, Jor. >> Yeah, I do all that. Coffee, yeah, yeah. So we're the same. So everybody makes fun of, of course. >> One of the same. >> Yeah, I would say, this is my first-- this is the only golf course I get to see though. >> Same. >> Gorgeous. >> We're playing another golf course today. >> And we're all, we're in Nevada. >> Yes, we are. >> We're in Nevada. >> We're in Nevada. >> We're in a golf course. >> It's tough, but I'm going to go-- because I see one. >> Okay, fair. Nevada or Hawaii? Are you going to Nevada? >> No, I'm going to go Palo. >> Sorry. >> So you're fine. >> Here we go. >> California or Hawaii? >> I've never played in Hawaii. So I'm going to go California. >> Okay, I've heard some of the court-- >> I've never been, he's been. >> I've never played golf. >> I didn't play golf at that time. >> Is it gorgeous? >> It's one of the prettiest places. I said, this is in my top 10 prettiest places. >> And what's Hawaii? >> Hawaii's like one. >> Oh, I'm going. That's amazing. >> It's gotta be. >> It's like these mountains. >> Oh my gosh. >> That's all the size. >> That's crazy. >> It's cool. >> Okay. >> You might just be closer to the mountains. That might be why, I don't know. >> It's more. >> Yeah, yeah. >> California or New York? >> Okay, here's my thing. And if anybody that pleases Scotland, that's okay. >> Pleased your case. >> We're stressing right now. >> Okay, this is-- I'm stressing, because they're so close. New York has-- I think it's called bedgrass, is that what it is? >> Yeah. >> Yeah, bedgrass? >> Yeah, we'll go with that. >> Yeah, sure. >> Whatever it is. >> Yeah, it is. >> It's a bedgrass. >> You know, we don't have to talk. I'm not very good with that stuff, but the rough is so thick, and it's so like, it sounds like wet, the grass. And it's just, it's a great like butter cut through the grass. And I love it. I love it for the views. But to play, I could feel the gears turning. You're really thinking about it. >> So California has better grass. >> Okay. >> Okay. And it has a better variety, but New York has a better condensed area of golf. Every golf course you go to pretty much all of them are nice. >> Gabby, you have to pick one. >> New York. >> Okay. >> Wow, so you think New York has the best golf course in the country? >> Yeah, I think so. >> That's what you said the first time. So doubling down, I love it. >> Because they have just the, like, even the public golf courses are nice. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Like even the not good ones are like, walkable and you're like, oh my god, this is nice. >> That paid flag is like the best public course. >> Camps out for it. >> How did you go? >> I've played like five times. >> I played like three times, it's amazing. >> We camp out. Like we got there at like four in the morning. >> We want to get there at midnight. Cuz they open up public tee times to non-residents. So if you're a New York resident, you could book seven days in advance. >> Oh, that's fine. >> I can't do that. Cuz my license is in New Jersey. >> Sure is he, right. >> So I'm able to go, we camp out, we all go there, we get like four to eight guys. >> That's awesome. >> And we do it once a year. >> That's awesome. >> Yeah. >> New York is best. >> I haven't played it. I need to play it. I need to play more golf. >> It's really nice. >> That's great. >> That's the lesson of the podcast. >> Yeah, let's play more golf. >> We were talking about this before. I want to jump to the auction. Yeah, let's do it. I'm going to host, yeah. >> It does. >> And it's going to be Gabby versus Zach. >> I may lose. >> So this is the $20 budget. You might want to keep it, keep a note in your head. Like every time you bid, how much it goes down, how much budget you have left, and how much he has left. >> Okay. >> Just to counteract. >> Okay. >> Here we go. I'm really bad at this game, but first time. >> I think I might be worse. And I think I'm going to get a lot of hate for this. Because I am very picky again. So there's probably going to be like two courses I want to play in the rest of summer. >> But then you got to bid him up too. >> I know, I know. >> I know. >> With this thing that I want, yeah. >> Who can build the better golf course team with $20? Gabby versus Zach. First one, Edgewood Tahoe Resort. >> Oh, what? Okay. >> We just need to lay it down. >> And we're here right now. >> Oh, that is so tough. So we can start it where. >> You guys, where are we going? >> I'm going to let you go first as the guest. >> $2. >> $2. >> Two bucks. I mean, this is one of the most beautiful courses. >> I know, we're starting low. >> It seriously is. I'm going to go $4. >> $4 bucks? >> $6. >> What are we picking? >> He's going six, folks. >> Oh, wow. >> I don't even expect to go. >> Can I get a seven? Can I get a seven from Zach? >> I don't know. >> I'll take seven. >> I'll take seven. >> Wow. >> Yeah, I'm not going to. >> That's it. >> That's it. >> I would, I like six, six was the number. >> Six was the number. >> It was the number, you're right. >> I'm just saying there's a lot of superior golf courses. >> Nice. >> Not superior, but like high-class golf courses. >> On the list. >> Yeah, here we go. Royal County down. >> I never played it, but I do what you've got. >> You better know. >> You played it. >> I would, $3. It's ranked like the number three golf course this year and was previously the number one. >> Right. >> Just saying. >> Can I go, can I go sense or no? >> No, sense. >> Okay, four dollars. >> Four dollars? I don't have the money to be able to do it, so I'm going to let you have that one. I thought it, I'm sorry, that's my fault. I thought it was going to go five. >> I thought it said two dollars. >> I think we're all like the number one in golf course. >> Yeah, you got it below the average price. >> Yeah, I got a great price for that. >> Okay, so you went for four. You have $16, I have $13. >> All right, next one, Beth Cage Black. >> Oh, great. >> This is a special place in the heart. And you love New York golf courses. >> Five. >> Five bucks right off the bat, man. I just know there's going to be like really good ones. >> It's a special place for me. >> And then for you. >> I'll go six. >> Wow. >> I'll play six there. >> How much do I have? >> You have $16? >> I'm going seven. >> $7. >> I don't think you're going to afford it. >> I know, oh, thank you, yeah. But she's not afraid to set it. Get it for that one. I'll give it to you and it hurts me so much. >> I played it with the grandstands up. >> No way, really? >> It goes like maybe four or after the rider cup. >> Oh, my gosh. >> Okay, that is awesome. >> Okay, the first year time. >> You're down to $9 and you're still at 13. >> I'm at 13, okay. >> Okay, you've got two great courses. >> Next one, we got a big hitter. Augusta National. See, now we're talking. I mean, I'll go, I'll start at seven. Augusta does not hit for me. >> $7. Am I taking it for seven? >> You take it for seven? >> I probably got it for like four. >> You're going to, you could have. >> That's not it for you. >> Yeah, for you. >> I love the masters, but I just, it's not, it's, it's, there's something about it. >> Is it too perfect? >> Something, yeah. >> It's like too manicured. >> You know what, you know what thing is? Again, it's so controversial. I'm being too controversial. But like, the fake bird noises on seating. >> Oh, yeah. >> Like, hey, they were real? You can have me for $11. >> They spray paint. They spray paint the grass too. They have the, they dye the legs. >> So I feel like she did. >> I feel like the people are going to side with me on it, but I understand. >> I get the take. >> I need like that. >> 13 minus seven is one. 13-7 is 6. - 6? - 9. - That's a 9. - Okay, next one. Riviera.
country club. That's tough. I don't have money. Am I starting? Yeah, I don't have money. So three. Three? I think you could have got one. Yeah, I like it. I'm happy with my price. Okay, that's great. Six and six. Six and six. You got four. Three more clubs. Next one, Pebble Beach. Pebble Beach. Three more clubs. One more. I'm going to go three. You can have it. Let's go on Pebble Beach. I played Pebble. I like Pebble Beach a lot. I do. But I don't, have you ever played? No. Okay, the weather there is just so tough for me. Really? It's always about random things that like throw off a golf course for me. The birds, it's the weather. It's like a birder, like something, you know, if a bad burger, like I'm just like, no, the weather, it's just like so cold. Okay, I mean, I'll take it for three. This is a good competition. So you have like three dollars. You have six dollars. Two more courses left. Next one, Shinnecock. We're just there for you. Yeah, we were there. How was it? We were there Tuesday for the media day. So it wasn't like much action. But everyone was so happy. It was pretty sure everybody was like, it was Christine. I'll take you, I'll put, I'll put, I'll put three dollars. So three dollars. I mean, that would be my list. I'll risk it. Well, how many more courses? There's one left. There's one left. Oh, man, I don't have enough to outbid you. So you take it for three. All right, so you guys both have three dollars left. Yeah, whoever says it first, TPC saw grass, three dollars. Jack took it. I don't know why because there's so many TPC courses that you said that might bring you this. Well, I was thinking like, which one are we talking? So Edgewood went to Zach. Yeah, County down. Death page. Yeah, Augusta. No, you took that page. Death page. Yeah, Augusta. Riviera. Oh, no, you got to take a burger. Yeah, you took it. Yeah, Shinnecock. I might have taken it. I'd say we'll look at the tape. We'll look at the tape. Yeah, we'll still be on the home. The comment was the better, better line up. That was good. Okay, speaking of controversial, right? So we're talking, you have some takes topics. I do. I want to go through and ask you if these things belong or don't engulf. Oh, okay. So these are kind of like golf trends kind of in that row. Okay. Do these golf trends deserve to stay or go? Okay. Malit putters. Go. Go? I love blades. I think they're just like, we all use blades here. So then we all should be like, oh, you know, I'm not a fan of them. My friend was like, you should buy one. It's better. Yeah, I like the blade. I've tried the mouth so many times. It's just so weird looking. Like, I feel like I'm hitting driver and I just want to hit a one-hit putter. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So I saw a video the other day where it was a bunch of guys talking about they did some research and it was like, Malit putters do definitely make you better at golf. Like, if you talk to a blade putter and they say that you're wrong, they're totally incorrect. I'm just stubborn. I'm a blade putter. But I will say, I think it's true. I just think once you get it in your head, I think it's all mental. And for me, if I put a mallet putter on the guy like, I can put a great stroke within all the pro swapplers will say that the mallet is better. Yeah. But it's just how it feels. So putting things all that feeling like the blade is so good for swapputs for me. Yeah, you know, I just know it's going in the hole. So, so we're saying Malit's out. Malit's got to go for me. Next one, barefoot golf. Oh, that's great. Keep it. I've never done it. I want to do it. So awesome. Let's do it today. Let's do it today. Yeah. All right, let's go. The Travis Matthew shoes were very comfortable. They don't make them so I'll just go all go. Okay, so we're keeping that. Do you think that it should be allowed on every course? I think after a certain time. Yeah. Yeah. We're playing a 4 p.m. Yeah, like after after after three, after three, you should be able to go. I'm doing. I don't know if you use one or have used one or not. Many drivers. I love many drivers. Yeah, say I've hit one on the range. It was mostly heighted. Yeah, it's a great club. I don't find any use for it. I love having it in the bag. It makes me feel special. I never use it even in tournaments. Like I'll make up or in excuse us to why I need a mini driver on this hole. And it hits me fine. But I can totally hit a driver or a three. And I just want to feel good as I go out there. I'm like, look what I have. You know, and it's so bad. Some people carrying two drivers. Yeah, I think he does that. Yeah, I used to. I think he does that. Yeah. I used to have a three-wood mini driver and a driver. Oh my goodness. That's crazy. Because I didn't have enough ox. So I would just like. Fair enough. Brian's got a driver, a three-wood, a five-wood, a seven-wood, and a four-hybrid. Don't wait. Oh, you four-hybrid. I took the five-wood out. Okay. Okay. That was great. You don't like it? Well, I have all those calls. Okay. So we're keeping the mini drivers. Keep the mini drivers. Okay. More relaxed dress codes. Yeah, I have to say yes. Yes. Okay. So what act to what extent? This is a good question. So I love. Oh, no, just to throw, you know, like, truthfully, I love Travis Matthew because especially for women in golf course, as a guy who probably don't know women's golf course is not good except for Travis because it's just like so much more relaxed. I can like a big thing for me is being like feminine in my dress code on the board. Is that being like, you know, too much because that's not me? And also not being like, I have to wear arms sleeves just like. Yeah, yeah. I think another thing and girls you can come down below if you agree with me. We're gonna have a big female audience. Okay, well, I'll bring it. I'm 12 percent. Okay. Okay. Okay. I watch. So, yeah, there you go. If you're here, 13 percent. But basically girls want to feel like it's a fashion show on the golf course. At least I do. So that helps me get me in mode of it. So I think to a point, shorts should be allowed for guys. And I think that for girls, no color, like, I can wear a dress that, you know, covers, but like, still looks, you know, cute enough. I felt like yesterday we were debating shorts or pants. Did you do the pants? I don't remember pants. We went pants. But the pants that we were wearing the Travis Matthew ones were like, not that hot. Okay. 80 degrees. There's no clouds out here. And like, I felt cool. I felt great yesterday. I think it also all about how you feel. Like, pants that go with pants. I don't know why it just makes me feel more special. I was like a pro if you dress the part you play the part. 100 percent. Not really yesterday, but it's fine. That's fine. What's the next one? Which one we got here? Oh, this is controversial too. Gallery drops and breakfast balls. I say, I say no because because I think if you start to rely on it, then like the time that you're not going to have it, you're so nervous on the first day. Yeah. And like, I'm so grateful that I don't get nervous. I first see like no matter where I am. Even yesterday. Even yesterday. I don't get nervous. I was freaking out. Like, I don't feel like, like, I just still ain't getting nervous, you know, because I've just played a lot of tournaments. And so I always had forced myself, like, not to do a breakfast ball. But like, yeah, so I say no because I think it's gonna make you better. Are you not thinking about that T-shot the night before though? Like, like, I couldn't. I used to. I used to, though, I used to, but like, a good two point where you just play so much. As far as I was telling you yesterday, like, the more you play, the more you forget about it, the more there'll be good rounds to remember that you can go back to and it just makes you so much better. I'm gonna be honest. If it was a driver in my hand, yes, I would have felt way more comfortable, but hitting an eight iron with the pitch on the right, it was like small. Yeah, I hit a good shot. That's a tough job, but I would have felt better than a driver for sure. Yeah, so we're saying no to gallery emoligans. Yeah, I think so. I think so. Okay. I don't like that. I like that too. You know, what about music during the rounds? 100%. Like, 100. Like, if you don't, I don't understand that. Like, I don't want to what time you use to do, like, don't listen to on the golf course. Anything. Like, my classics, my, well, you, yeah, that's that's like all. I turn around Jimmy, but radio. Oh, wow. On the golf course. Ritaville, I listen to everything though. Like, country, rock, rap, everything. Nice. On the golf course, I usually go see a bit of it radio or like deep house. Oh, I like that. Trail tropical. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, music. 100%. There's no way. What are you listening to on the golf course? I love pop music, but I'm obsessed with music in general. Like, do you say pop? Yeah. Yeah. Like, like, like, we're talking. Grace Saber. I'm just like, you know, but there's lefty. Yes. What's the, who's the, the, the, uh, Ella fella? Ella? She's country. Oh, that's country. But yeah, get it together. I'm just trying to learn. I'm trying to learn. I don't like. I do like all types of music. The only thing that I feel like, and I'm starts to, you know, there's not going to attack on you guys. I'm not a big fan of country. I'm not either. I'm in with you. And I tried it. We're going to see your ask of flats tomorrow. Are you really? Yep. Yeah. I think it's like really easy. I know. I tried it for so long, but I could not get into it. It's, I just couldn't get into an environment vibe. Yeah. It kind of works, but the car's theme song. It's ask of flats. Is it? Oh, yeah. Of course. That's not really country. It's so country. That's more like, now that's totally like, the bad rock, the bad end of the comments. Yeah. That's right. All right. We got one more for you. Iron covers. That's the tough one. I say, I say no. I say no. Because of the way that it looks. I think it's a tough question. I don't know. I feel bad for people that you said. I've never seen Iron covers in real life. I don't think I've ever seen. I've seen one guy we've, I played recently, and he had iron covers. It weird to me out. Do you know? Can I get her out? I just weirded me out. I'd rather you have no head covers at all. Then I lost them all. It's like, okay, whatever. I'm a big fan of Backswag. I love like, just like head covers, little trinkets on the back, put some character in the back. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, it's your personality. Yeah. Yeah. It's your self. Gabby, I think that's all the time we have. Awesome. Thank you so much for coming on. Is there anything that you want to promote? Go out there for the people to know. No, and just follow Gabby Golfgirl, follow makeshift project. Thank you guys for having me. Can I ask you one more question? Yeah. Of course. Okay. When did you start doing the, the one of swing? Yeah. I think it was why. Why? Yeah. It was a training aid. That's my guess. That's like such a viral video. Like, it's crazy. Those videos have like over 200 million views in like posts and scene. So post. Yeah. It's like ridiculous on every platform. But those, that specific swing, I started it about a year and a half ago. Yeah. I've always been doing all these weird stuff with my swing because it's just like, it's good for drill. I get out of my comfort zone. If I can hit that shot, I can hit in front of anyone. I do the pause my way. Um, and
And I've always been doing it since I was little the minute of spring. But we were out on the golf course, and I was like, imagine if I was doing this training aid, and actually his job, how weird would that look? - Yeah. - It's like popped off to 15 million years after that. And it's like, yeah, it's like a training aid, but I don't know how people don't, I gave it to some pro golfers like Higgy and Ricky, and I was like, try it, and they totally butchered it, but it was so funny, 'cause they could not, they were like, I don't understand. I'm like, you need to pause, you're going too fast, and they couldn't really do it that much. So it's just funny to see, I guess-- - We're trying it to that. - I'm gonna teach you. - We're gonna try it. - If I teach you guys, it's like, you'll be like, oh, this is amazing. Let me just tell you, it is so much better than swinging it regularly. If you can figure out how to do it, if you're chug the right way, you'll hit better every single time. - I deal. - 'Cause you're hitting it in the pro golf course. - I gotta do this once I'm nervous. - We gotta try it. It's so easy. - We're gonna try it, dude. - Thank you guys so much for going on. - Shout out to Travis Matthew. We'll see you guys. - And we're back. I need to put it on sunscreen, because my head is burning. It literally looks like the sun. - I feel like I'm glistening, 'cause I did put them on. - You quite literally are glistening. - Yeah. - Let's take it a picture of me. - Let's see if I can get a video of this. - Probably bake an egg on it. - Look. - Oh my God. - I got sunscreen on. - I gotta take it off. - Am I shining? - This is like-- - No, that's good, though. - I can't tell if I'm sweating or it's sunscreen. - That's a little both. - My legs are sweating. - Gabby golf girl is awesome.

You don't even like Paris. - Do I? I don't know. It's the most travel to city in the world. Are there some bad cities in here? You have to tell me, because you know the list. - There's no bad cities. - Okay. - I'll go five. - Five dollars. - Yeah. - Take it. - I'm happy with five. - I think that that's the correct value. - Take it. - My girlfriend's going to love that. - Yeah. - She wants to go to France. - The only reason I went for-- - No, that's her favorite place in the world. - How'd she been? - She's been like 10 times. - Oh, amazing. - She loves Paris. - Los Angeles, California. - She's the biggest city in America. - Five. - I mean, spending early. - Everyone talks about Los Angeles. - They do. Like, Los Angeles is the mecca. - But like, are the people that fun out there? - We're talking about the city. - Yeah, but the city includes the people. - So you're not going to go six for a ride? - Take it for five. - I didn't want it. - I did not want to bid that fun. - You're trying to talk me into it. - Damn it. - Okay. - All right, that's fun though. - L.A. in Paris. Those are like the two biggest cities in the-- Now, I don't even know what I'm saying. - Yeah, they're not. - Five. - Tahoe Nevada, I'll go five bucks, I'll go seven dollars. I'm willing to spend here. We're here in Tahoe now. - With Travis Matthew. Eight dollars. - No, I'm not going to, you can take it for seven. - Take it for seven? - Yeah, that's great. - You said this is one of the most beautiful cities that you've ever been to. - It is. And in my opinion, I would rather come here on vacation than either of those first two places that I got. But I think the audience is going to agree with me. That's what I'm playing to. - We're here with Travis Matthew for the American Century Championship, and you're going to not spend eight dollars on it. I'm going to go seven dollars. - I did seven. - I already give it to you for seven. - All right, I'm in, I'm in. - That's fine. - And now we're almost even. - Rome Italy. - I love Rome. - Went in Rome. - I'll go four bucks. - I'll go five. - Take it. - Take it for five. - All right, that's great. - You got Rome and Tahoe. - Lake Tahoe. - This is one of the most beautiful. - And you have seven dollars left. - Home of one of your favorite golf courses. - Right. - You have eight dollars left. - Eight dollars left. - Let's go. - Let's go. - I got a great right now. - What was that? - Barcelona. - What was that? - Barcelona Spade. - What was that? - Barcelona. - Barcelona's awesome. - I love Barcelona.
