My First Tournament in 8 Months

What? NXXT Tour
When? March 26-28
Where? Ocala, FL
Why? I have not played in a tournament in 8 months, so I am slowly getting back into it! I've been focusing on work this past year, so my game has been put on the back burner. Moving forward, I am going to start grinding on my game again. I'm pumped!

You're my new favorite golfer, your attitude is phenomenal. Thank you for sharing, great content 💯💪👍

Well that’s super kind, thank you!!

First and foremost your Dad did an amazing job raising you. Hope to have the same type of father daughter relationship with mine. Cailyn you are down to earth, have a great sense of humour, and stripe the ball!!!

[@dalezirk7361]

You are a great golfer Cailyn . You have a great attitude and are kind. Thanks for sharing I hope the camera didn't affect your play. All I say is keep focused . I would love to caddie for you. 😄😄😄

You and your dad have the sweetest relationship. So nice to watch!

He’s pretty great!

Daddy Caddy! That's a Rap! 💫🎉🏌🏽‍♂️ 🤩Your life is my dream 🤩

[@chrisbunker3493]

Love your content and attitude. Your caddie has you doubting your instincts. Great for Pops to be out there.

[@jimbrown4869]

Great stuff. I found your channel from The Good Golf Girls - you guys are super entertaining!

[@chendogolf]

Thank you so much!!!

[@squeedum4893]

You positivity is absolutely infectious. I live about an hour from that course. I need to check it out.

[@brentbalster4064]

Love your giggle & positivity!!

[@PaulCornish]

I am in love with your laugh!!! Lol... Keep scrambling and play your game, ignore your dad!

[@TheRqbsinger]

You did great, Cailyn. It’s just golf and you’re a phenomenal player. Keep grinding, but most of all, keep positive and I’ll keep watching!

[@edwargo]

I enjoy the no nonsense analysis and shot feedback that you really only get during tournament play. You’ve made me think I need to do more tournaments this season. Keep grinding, love your content.

[@wroghan]

Loved this! Your interaction with your dad, and your thought process. I was wondering about why you where not using your driver, but got the answer :) Do this more please, not only tournaments, but practice rounds too.

[@MBGlasdam]

I'ts a joy to see you in a tournament also. I've only seen you with the GGG and Garret Clarke. I must say that your laugh is so infectious, that I smile everytime you laugh. Keep up the great content

[@russellmiller9033]

It's great that your dad's put there with you 🎉

[@pitbull808]

Great video! I need your attitude on the course!

[@itsandbits1]

Thanks Cailyn; I'm not going to give you any advice but the attitude you take with you through the game; good or bad, is a joy to see. That makes the next shot that much easier.

[@ronnydesmedt1988]

Love your game and attitude 😘

[@ajh21313]

I’m gonna be honest with ya… you’re relying on Dad to the point it’s hurting ya. Dads kinda that safety net which lulls you into insecurity which can lead to collapsing tournament golf. I did 8 years with my daughter high school and college. Your better alone, to get you to concentrate on you and focus on tempo, yardages and scrambling.

[@fredercolani]

I agree, you constantly asking dad his opinion. Which had you over analyzing every shot. When watching you on golf girl games your a heck of a lot looser and your swing is on point. Nothing against your dad but in your next tournament try not to over analyze

[@chendogolf]

Yeah I over analyze everything…NOT good

[@chendogolf]

I definitely need to be more confident in my own game and start playing like it. I agree

[@CarnivoreDMD]

Daddy Caddy here….. depends… esp if he is doing all the research & yardage & course layout. Depends on how much the caddy is doing 5he homework! Plus, no one loves their daughter more than their DADDYCADDY

[@ajh21313]

Beautiful relationship, realistic golf.... what is not to like. I am curious about the half shots though? Why not hit full shots. Anyway enjoyed this a lot. Keep them coming.

I'm incredibly shitty at golf (15 handicap) but I can only imagine how difficult it would be would two people's thoughts in my head every shot.

[@killerdwarfs8890]

HI Cailyn, I'm such a fan. Great stuff here and hope to see more.

[@dennisyamasaki6830]

After watching your video a few times, a fun thought came to mind. What if Nicolas Judd was your caddie?

[@derryltrujillo1112]

Come play the California State Women's Open just before Christmas in Palm Springs...good mix of pros and amateurs.

Looked like a really tough Course.

[@mentonish]

Be positive, you play so well. Does dad help you play under pressure ??

[@KumarKanapadi]

Go girl, you are a good ball striker, as long as you don't have Sabrina near you. She is a noisy golfer. Just kidding. Cheering for you from Perth Australia.

All the Dan Grieve releases! It changed my game too

[@gtobs3181]

Why did u not hit more drivers?

[@tbenedict6335]

Remember arnold palmer was once asked how he managed a 11 on a hole,his reply was i made a great putt not to be 12. Its golf enjoy it even when not playing well because tomorrow maybe you're best day ever.😂

Cailyn: It was nice to see you with your dad. You do look like you need to go to the range more; but your game still looks strong. You looked very sexy in white with your great legs showing well again. Best Wishes going forward.

[@robertdugan1404]

Your dad could be less stressful and more comforting and calm. No judging, dad, just encourage every shot and put a positive spin on everything. Let her decide the shot

[@chendogolf]

He’s doing his best🤣🤣🤣 I feel like the caddie role is so tough

[@scottlucas3875]

You have one of the sweetest swings in the game! Stoppppp second guessing yourself. You are literally debating what shot to hit all the way up to your back swing, which even if you make the right choice you are going to hit 0% of the shots you want. Also im not a fan of hitting low grip shots. TRUST YOURSELF!!!!

[@SounSiri]

With a due respect I think you need a different caddie…someone that can bring your energy up knows your swing what you can do and can’t

[@wouterswanepoel5753]

Beautiful video ... only because your Dad is such a handsome guy! 😁 What a privilege for a father and his daughter to be able to spend such quality time together. 🤩 For me that was the highlight of this video. On the other hand Cailyn, perhaps you should have asked Sabrina to caddie for you. Her continuous blabbering 🤣 always ignites your best competitiveness! 😂 Best wishes from South Africa! 🇿🇦

Caitlyn, I have watched you on several different KZbin channels. You are the most positive, and delightful person on the internet. You have a great game and are so charming.

[@stevenreid-g2y]

Cailyn, I've seen you play on various you tube channels as long ago as 1 year and you have improved markedly! You have effortless power and your personality is a throwback to an era that is sadly gone. I do think the mental side of the game is your ultimate hurdle. Know this, being who you are makes you a success regardless your score on the course!

[@stevedimattei321]

Cailyn, I watched you in the Golf Girl Games and I really enjoyed that, so I decided to follow on your channel. You definitely have the talent, you just need more experience and some confidence in your game. I loved the banter between you and your dad (you guys are a good team). I wish you the best!

I do the same….tell myself to take a three-quarter swing but in reality it’s full. Think it’s just mental. I like to this three-quarter swing thought when I’m struggling. PS…love your videos. Keep up the good work.

Great content! It’s very inspiring. Get out of your head, Caitlyn! You’ve got this! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@floydstark2696]

Love your game, I’m a nobody but it seems when your body is behind your swing you push right and when your body is early before your swing hits the ball you pull left ..

[@s1dest3p]

I'd like to see you try playing without choking up on any iron shots and without playing any soft shots. Hit everything full (so take less club when needed and wack it).

That was a fun vlog Cailyn to watch how nervous were your playing in a tournament at a gorgeous Fla. course on the NXXT Tour ? proably not as nervous as in GGG having to spend the night with wild Sabrina & Allison alone when you were with them out west HAHA😂😂😂😂

[@chendogolf]

The nerves were definitely there😅🤣 that course is CHALLENGING…especially when you play it like I did HAHA. Hahahahahah they rock

Duffing drives happen unfortunately but you stuck it out and bombed a few at the end, you have a great personality love watching you I've just been looking at the golf girls series yr awesome keep playing well.

[@barryschultz3046]

Tough course. Work to your strength. Hit driver more. Your long off the tee. Take advantage of that.

[@disruptive_calmness]

Love your content. I think you were just trying to be too technical in everything. You are way more relaxed with GGG even when you are nervous, if that makes sense.

[@KBrown28031]

use dad for support and encouragement out there. go with the shot you are feeling.. you are totally different golfer than when u play on golf girl games.. you are confident on GGG, and when you are here, you are very indecisive

You've been working on your cut driver swing and it was fabulous when you played with Martin Borgmeier. If you have that in the bag, 3 wood just doesn't seem right unless the fairway is too short.

[@chendogolf]

Agreed…this was before playing with Martin! I feel like my game started to improve a lot more after this tournament

Good morning ! I've been a Golf Course Maintenance Professional for 15 yrs. I was taught a long time ago when reading the grain on Greens & approaches, "dark green to me, gray goes away! That looked like a tough course! Great video! Keep it in the short grass 😊

[@chendogolf]

Good morning! What do you mean “gray goes away?”

[@Jason71100]

@@chendogolf hey ! I am referring to the color of the turf that's laying down in the direction away from you. the dark green stripes is the grass laying towards you. the grain on Bentgrass greens ALWAYS follows the sun, so no matter the direction of the cut, the grass blade will lean that way. I hope that helps. Good luck & always remember that it's just a game. 😀👍

[@StephenHall-v5j]

Cailyn try to chill out think about how course and greens run and relax you will get their your dad is helping 🎉

[@vharrald]

The one thing I saw that I noticed is that you need to commit to each shot. They say, "the most important shot is the next one". God luck on your next nxxt tournament Cailyn

[@georgeanthonyflores499]

I have been where you are with your game this Friday. First 3 holes were great. Bogeys, yeah. But i striped my drives and 5woods. Then the driver and woods fell apart. What saved me was my chipping and pitching from 75 yds. SOLID!!! Putting was good. But i lost strokes with my driver and woods. 49, +13 for 9 holes. If i didn't have those issues, i would've shot +4 through 9. Oh well, another round...

[@jlo93633]

I have to agree with ajh21313. Your caddy is taking away from your concentration. He's talking to you until seconds before you hit your shot, and stands two feet away from you. Y'all need to have your strategy conversation, (yardage, clubs, wind, etc.), than he needs to step away and I mean out of sight and not say a word until you hit your shot. Just like the caddies on the LPGA / PGA. By-the-way, those are some long holes. You played a 578 yard par 5, that PGA length. Keep up the good work and good luck!

[@wkndwarrior4733]

Thanks for posting Cailyn! Love your positivity. Believe in yourself (you already do!), play free, don’t overthink it. Tough round, looked like a pretty course.

[@getovryourslf4444]

I didn't agree with comments made about your daddy caddy until he told you to keeping it low was important BUT you clubbed down because you had wind behind you. You came up short.

[@davidedmondson5633]

Thanks for sharing this. It’s funny how different people see the same round of golf. If I shot an 80 I would be over the moon. You will get better! I would love to see a video where you explain some of the golf lingo you used during the round like: the ball going in at 7:30, your chip being res 1 or 2, big banana, and other things. Most of all, you got to play 18 holes with your dad as caddie, and that is a memory that will never go away. You Go Girl!

This might sound weird but watching you on your channel and others is always a pleasure and soul refreshing. I catch myself smiling due to your great attitude and personality. Love who you are and thank you for brightening my day. FYI, the reason your play wasn't superb is because you didn't make the sounds you make when hit off the tee. 😊 You did great and you will keep getting better.
