1st Pro Tournament Filmed For YouTube… 

My dad has coached me on my swing since I’m 5… I actually ASK him to push me all the time. He motivates me every day and knows exactly what he’s talking about when it comes to my game. So grateful to have this opportunity with my dad on the bag!

As a dad of two adult girls and a grandfather of two granddaughters who are 12 and 13, you were tugging at my heartstrings at the very end before you quit. The younger me would have told my daughters winners never quit and quitters never win. The older me (now) would have treated the situation just like your dad did! He's a great daddy and you are an amazing young woman. I cannot wait to see you on the tour!

You are awesome. I am a grandfather and now I am a fan of yours. I shall be following your progress in hopes of you becoming a successful pro golfer.

Love that your dad is brutally honest and doesn’t sugar coat if you hit a bad shot! Props on him

Old man knowledge comin' at ya! 😂 I've been golfing in Michigan for literally decades & knew from the second I saw what you were wearing you were gonna get sick. Michigan rain soaks right into your skin & those leggings must have weighed like 10 pounds by the end of the round. And day two was even worse being sick with nothing covering your legs & a sweater too thin to actually protect from the wind. Remember, you can ALWAYS take layers off & a warm hat goes a loooong ways. (I know extra layers restricts a bit but the modern rain gear isn't bad. Sorry for the novel & all that being said, you're an absolute trooper & should be proud of yourself. Last thing for future reference, Midwest greens generally tell the story at the hole, check there for the grain & uphill, into are always REALLY slow & the opposite are always lightning fast. Especially on tough tracks. Good luck on your journey young lady & props to pops for dragging the bag in those conditions. 💯

Love your dad. Very knowledgeable and provided a lot of great advice. Seems like he had a calming effect and provided a lot of encouragement.

It’s hard to believe you went to a Tournament without rain gear, or didn’t purchase. Love the channel. Make sure you have rain gear. It looks like it wouldn’t break the budget.

As a dad of two girls learning golf, I love this (and your channel) so much!

Y’all make a great team. Enjoy the journey. You have a great attitude. Just know your dad loves you more than you can imagine. It’s good to be around tough competition. You will grow. Stay present. Do your best and enjoy the ride.Take one shot at a time. There’s nothing you can do about the last shot so go to the next shot and focus on it and forget the last shot.

You did great and I was impressed on how you pushed as far as you did. You are stronger than most men! Your family should and is very proud. Your Dad is great. Just the right amount of dad and coach.

The suspenseful music on 18 cracked me up. Great to see you and your Dad to work through this tough outing together.

What's amazing to me is how, as bad as you were feeling, you still hit some incredible shots. The skills are there. Your dad's advice along the way was right on the money. You're getting a chance to see what the next level looks like. Lots of positives to take away from the experience.

I gotta say, you may have felt like you came up short, didn’t get everything you wanted from the event.. I think you got a lot more than you know. You handled the situation with class, and you’re just a teenager. You recognized you were impacting the other girls pace, and you bowed out. That’s respectful. I think you’ll look back, if you haven’t already. And recognize so many things that you did well. And how you responded when things didn’t. Many your age would have turned to anger, and lashed out. And a side note on your dad, great work. You guys have a great bond, I’m sure he knows exactly when to push you, and when to lay off. Hats off to him, it’s not an easy position to be in. I think you guys did great together. I definitely enjoyed the episode. Thank you for the upload, keep pushing! You’re so far ahead of where you should be at 16.

For a 16 year old to go into her first pro tournament and do as well as you did, including par after par when you were sick is an immensely awesome accomplishment. Your parents, family, and all of your fans (young and old…like me) really enjoy watching your progress and I, for one, am truly proud to be a fan of yours.

Very proud of you Gabby! I was getting teary eyed watching you struggle on the final day. I was saying, stop Gabby, don’t do this to yourself, but you hung on until you just couldn’t any more. You are an inspiration.

Congratulations Gabby ❤ You’ve got a taste of what it is like to play with the pros, now get back to work and iron out the details for the next opportunity! We are all cheering for you 😊 This is a process to continue to climb up the stairs of life until you reach the top floor and claim your office.

You are such a driven young lady. It is easy to see, you light up whenever talking about your game, and overall pursuit toward excellence. Go Gabby!

At first I thought you should have W/D before the 2nd round. But when I found out you were grinding it out largely because of the young fan that had traveled to follow you, your courage kind of brought a little tear to my eye. What an example to her, me and others. Thanks Gabby!

Rain gear is a MUST!

Hi from Melbourne.. Australia...I have literally never enjoyed watching anything more...it was gripping and an amazing insight ..you have made me a huge fan...I hope you continue to show these types of videos...it was amazing seeing your tactics and the way you dealt with the pressure of each moment...I can't wait to follow your journey and if u get to Australia will come watch u play...

Why do we not have rain gear???? Playing professionally 101: Having the CORRECT equipment for all elements that could happen. Great job toughing it out but if you would have stayed dry and warm the first round you would have never gotten sick. Caddie needs to be fired over this tournament!! lol. Just kidding Dad! If you’re going to play professionally you have to be a mudder!! Love watching the growth in your game and content. Good luck and keep up the good work. Just be prepared next time.

Keep your head up Gabby YOU ARE A LEGEND . KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK IT WILL PAY OFF 👍

Giving you kudos Gabby for grinding it out!! You did good given the circumstances with coming down with the flu. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 As my golf coach always used to say….the sun will come out again tomorrow. Good show 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

So cool to hear a 16 year old and her father talk on the course. So refreshing. Keep doing what you are doing Gabby

Loving the daddy daughter bond here. Beautiful!!!

Man that look on your face at the end, at the golf cart, nearly killed me. I could feel how upset you were. You are so good and sometimes I have to remind myself how young you still are. You're going to get there. I can see it! I love the attitude you came back with in the hotel.

you have a lifetime of upcoming tounaments. you gave it your all. chin up. go get 'em in the next one.

I love that you don’t just post everything that goes your way. Way to battle through and you’ll be back and feeling well soon enough!

Def recommend having another caddie. He’s almost too honest with you and there’s times a caddie needs to lift you up and make you believe you can hit a great recovery shot instead of doubling down when you hit a bad shot 😢 You normally do an exceptionally great job of encouraging yourself after mishits but it doesn’t help when your caddie is over your shoulder saying “oh no” or “you rushed it” when you miss a 3 footer. 😔

You have a cool channel to watch and you are very cool.. I’m a lousy golfer but learning from watching this video…I was a competitive tennis player when I was 18 and wanted to be a professional tennis player when I was young…your competitive nature for golf that is ingrained in your being I can definitely relate to…

I usually don't comment. I have been a touring professional after retiring from a short professional baseball career. I learned from my coach who played on tour for 14 years that you have to play with the same "spirit " and same mentality as you do when you post your best scores. Tournament golf inherently makes that difficult, but its possible if you learn what your breathing is during your best rounds. I don't want to advertise anything so I'll just say that Jordan Spieth advertises for the product. I love how relaxed your body is through impact and beyond. I know you had to learn that! Play the shot that is called for. Don't play safe, and want to make the 10-15 footers more! Want it as much as you want the 4 footer for par. Its hard to give you all the things I have learned. Surround yourself with great players.

Gabby, you're a real warrior. I can't believe you made as far as you did, being as sick as you were. You're awesome!

I sincerely LOVE your positive attitude!! It's a pleasure watching you play. Rooting for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gabby, we all love your personality, stranger challenges, and commitment to the game. Looking forward to seeing you on TV in an LPGA event!

Your character, tenacity, and positivity is a win in anyone's book. Go Gabby!

Such a huge challenge to set yourself and such an amazing effort in such difficult conditions. Your attitude and talent are incredible! Well done and best of luck for the next tournament.

as an ex pro myself that was ridiculous and painful to watch. Not have wet weather gear on was ridiculous. Big lesson learnt there. And to be honest someone wasn't looking after you there. Good luck in your next one.

I’ve played against the other player in your group, Gabby Lemieux, in Native American tournaments. I even accidentally took her range balls once. She’s a super nice person

Gabby, I so much enjoyed the video. So sorry you got ill, I’m so impressed how long you continued feeling the way you did. Very strong

Dad 1 question? Why didn’t you stop at the pro shop and buy her a rain suit after the first day or even before the second round????????

Love the daughter dad teamwork. Your future is bright with the support system you have.

Great seeing both of you together. Watching this with my 5 yr old son and he said he wants me to caddie for him.

Starting of with a fishing contest and then golf!! Already the video of the week! Too bad for the sickness... You held up sooo well!!

Good job!! I feel for your pops when I am playing with my son. My only advice for him would be limiting the talk once you address the ball…I bet you both really enjoyed that experience!! Keep getting those birdies!

Poor girl, how can you be so into golf and not own rain gear??? There has to be a golf shop or Dicks Sporting Goods store within 20 miles of your hotel.

Big props to you going out there on that type of stage & gutting it out for as long as you did being sick. Hope you get another opportunity. You should definitely be proud though! You also hit some really great shots

Excellent video Gabby! As I have been saying for a year, You have tremendous media skills. These kind of tournaments are great for you & playing with great players will help you improve your own game!

I admire your perseverance to continue on to finish what you started. I don't know anyone would have faulted you for not even going out that last day. I could feel your pain of wanting to go on but your body just wouldn't let you. Great job in your first big tournament. I'm sure there will be lots to come.

I was glad to see you fishing. I enjoyed watching you with the fish. There’s going to be a lot of tournaments in your future. It was good to see your dad with you. As long as you do your best. I will always be cheering for you. All the best Gabby ❤

Congratulations on your first pro tournament. Even though you couldn't finish it was a tremendous experience. Having your dad as your coach/caddie is amazing. You are an inspiration to all. Keep up the great golf and I'm sure you'll be making the cut soon enough!

You did your best and you should be proud of that. You have skills for sure .

Time for dad to step aside and be a spectator.Looking a lot like Lonzo Ball of the nba.

Great experience at such a young age! Good job. It's all good learning. Some lessons learned surely are: - bring rain gear 😅 - don't leave the first putts short - your driving distance is just fine - your shot making is good enough

Sorry but pro golf is hard and someone has to say it plain that was ridiculous to watch. You get a sponsors invite to an Epson tour event that thousands of young women would kill for and you don’t buy rain gear and quit. That was hard to watch. Ps. If you or anyone thinks this is mean, grow up, I promise you it’s what every golfer in that tournament was thinking, and every golfer who wanted to be in that tournament is thinking. No participation trophies in pro golf.

Congratulations on gaining some invaluable experience. You and your Dad both did a great job and it was fun to watch. You have a wonderful future. Someday you will be a star on the LPGA.

Being cold and wet for 2 days is miserable....then you get sick. Thats suuuuuucks. Now every experience will be better, tho and you can always say....at least it isnt as bad as that first tournament i played in Michigan. It took guts to even go out there that last day. Im sure the girl who came to see you will remember how hard you fought and it will inspire her. You are tough beyond your years. Keep on truckin' Gabs. Cheers!

I wish I could have just one more 18 with my dad ! What a blessing you have to enjoy! Great job team!

rain gear. I play in WA, you have to have rain gear it makes a huge difference

Saw the 'first pro tournament' title and had to watch - felt almost a privilege to do so. You are at the bottom of a big learning curve, but I thought you played and talked really well - your swing and ballstriking looked really solid day 1, shame about the last. Playing well but the putter was in the fridge is a familiar tale for every golfer. Don't suppose there's much demand for thermals and waterproofs in Florida, but they might be a solid investment now. Your dad did great, kept you calm and together you got most of the calls right. Keep working & learning

Dad daughter event. So awesome. I have a fab daughter too.

This is some of the best golf I have ever seen you do. Well done... Just an observer information do as you wish. You and your Dad are a good team, I like how he slowed your game down and kept you grounded. Good job both of you.

Way to Grind it out Gabby....Get yourself some rain gear ASAP!

Gabby, the fact that you are 16 and are so mature. If you didn't say you were 16 I would have thought you were in your early 20's. You are such a talent both on the course and in videos. I'm sure you are an inspiration to many young people in so many ways. I can't wait to see your growth and will certainly follow you on the LPGA.

Gabby I dont know any professional or top amateur that doesnt carry Raingear in their bag. What was your reasoning for not having it? You need to play/practice in the rain/wind/cold to be better prepared for these type of conditions. Im rooting for you

Pretty darn good for a 16 yr old! You have a bright future ahead!!

I'm proud of you Gabby. You pushed yourself to the limits.

It's Just a game.... You're awesome and we love watching your progress! Keep doing what your doing!

time to invest in a rain suit, great first experience you did great.

If you get sick on every holiday, it is cause you are too stressed out in your day-to-day life. Holidays are the only time your body thinks it has time to relax, and then you are more susceptible to get sick. So try to get some stress out of your day. You have an insane schedule as a 16 year old. You are extremely impressive with your work ethic, and the fact you are the sweetest person ever is amazing. But it can take its toll on anyone.

Really appreciate the way your dad talks to you, reassuring but also critical of what you’re doing poorly

Dad's lucky to have a talented young lady! Wishing you the best. Listen to Dad! 😉😊

It is actually so cool to hear the conversations you have with your caddy, and it’s even cooler when it’s your pa. Keep grinding! I’m a new golfer so it’s fun to watch a young person grow in the game while I’m trying to figure out mine 🙏🏾

Really good positivity even after bad shot great young player 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You learn from every round. I don't know but I felt that dad was fine as caddie. He seemed reassuring and was making good calls. It was also great to see you grind it out the way you did Gabby. When you get sick and have little sleep, it's impossible to have a good mental game as well as a good physical game. I commened you on trying to tuff it out like you did. Stay positive and reassured that you'll do a lot better next time Gabby with a loving dad at your side. You can do it Gabby. Get back on the horse.

Nice that you did that for that girl who traveled to see you, as sick as you were. It's things like that, that someone will remember forever.

How do you not buy rain gear ahead of time when you know it's very likely to rain???

There were 20 other players who shot 75 or worse on day 1 of this tournament. You should be really proud of that effort. Lots of good stuff to build on. You're still just a kid, but your positive attitude will serve you will throughout life. Glad you're feeling better!

Pops need to caddy when it’s time to caddy and coach when it’s time to coach. Play the day with the game you got don’t go working on swing thoughts/changes in the middle of a round. Kills confidence and brings in doubt.

Your playing golf in the pouring rain like it doesn’t affect the game….insane conditions!

Dad has soo much nervious energy its incredible, in the first round he tried to take over her process, he made her analize herself even over putts, "more weight in the front foot"he never let her find her flow even though she struck the ball extremely well, his instrucions were not concise but confusing, " just a nice swing here, not a jittery one" there was no positive energy at all. I saw at least 2 putts, gabby had the line, dad miss read it and gabby missed.I bet dad is not a golfer himself, i would bet on it. For the love of god, second round dad could not have maybe taken precaution and forseen the possibility there could be some rain and maybe taken her to buy waterproofs, poor girl was playing in a hoodie, soaking up the rain, this infuriated me , did he actually just say " ive never been so uncomfortable in my life" why? Cause it was raining? Really?poor girl was shaking. This really infuriated me this video.

Gabby, you're 16 years old and you're getting a lot of experience at a young age. I played Division 1 football and hold all of my college records for a position. You are going to learn what works, what doesn't work, how to mentally strive through a lot of tormoil rounds. I think this is most important... imaging missing a field goal on national TV... have to stay mentally strong and recover. The good thing is you have all the tools, swing looks good. The only thing you're lacking is experience. My best piece of advice playing at any type of level like that is breathe/breath. You have to be able to play without letting the moments of pressure get ya. Put yourself in as many tournies as possible and get used to pressure shots until it becomes normal. Great vod. Also, your old man has Phil Mickelson calves!

Have a different caddy. Not family you would do so much better

Great job! You showed tremendous courage and tenacity. In the Army we called it ‘sticktoitiveness’. As good as you are and as grounded is a testament to your parents. Kudos to all. I love watching you grow and especially enjoy the family dynamics when you show them.

I know your dad has done a great job but unless that was a trickery of editing. Id want my caddy not to be putting conflicting thoughts in my mind while im standing over a shot or putt.

What a lovely relationship you and your dad have, reminds me of me and my daughter. We just work things out and trust each other ❣️ Go Gabby 🎉

Congrats I love you Gaby

the grit and determination you showed is truly... amazing! having the flu and fighting as far as you did go to show how well you will do when you are at 100% keep up the work and great things will happen! love watching you grow!! 😀

I'm sorry to say this, but I know this from personal experience as well, Dad’s should not be caddies!! Especially, if he's trying to also coach you on every shot while in the middle of a tournament and be that negative on the not-so-good shots! Again, I'm sorry but I felt the need to say something after watching just the first hole!

Great job and great effort. Take this as a learning experience. Your positivity is your strength, keep it up. I think your dad did a great job of pushing when needed, but not sugarcoating everything.

Too many people complaining about dad…this exactly what I expect from an athlete’s parent of her caliber. Very few will understand. If she had a problem with it she wouldn’t have released the video.

It's been so much fun watching your progress, now you're in the big time! Im a 50yo man and I've learned so much from your tips 😊👍♀️💪

Why the F didn’t you buy rain gear at the pro shop?

Great kid she takes it very serious . I am the same way with my running and my golf. I think she will gain experience and do well . Just needs to build from here.

There Will be a lot more to come.

Loved this video, fun to watch. Good luck with your career, rooting for you!

Dad. Has too many negative comments when you are trying to decide your play at each ball. Putting negative thoughts on your subconscious

This is so exciting can’t wait to finish it always wanted to see a full round talking to caddies and doing math and yards and talking about every shot this is going to be a blast 👍

No rain gear ? Can't play golf in Florida all the time.😅

Wow, great hanging in there. Most of us would have called it several holes earlier. You'll grow from this experience

city girl.
