Every tournament week begins the same way — packing a suitcase, loading up the golf bag, and heading toward the next opportunity. This week started with a flight out of San Diego as I made my way to Tampa, Florida for an NXXT Tour event in Dade City. While this tournament is important, it also serves as preparation for what’s coming next — two Monday qualifiers in California and Arizona. Monday qualifiers are some of the most intense opportunities in professional golf. One round. One chance. And if you play well enough, you earn your way into an LPGA or Epson Tour event. So this week in Florida is about preparation. It’s about learning where my game is right now and sharpening everything before those opportunities arrive. The travel day itself was pretty straightforward. A five-hour flight across the country from San Diego to Tampa. Unfortunately the plane’s WiFi didn’t cooperate, so there were no movies or work distractions during the flight. Instead, it turned into a long stretch of time to think about the weeks ahead. After landing around 4pm, my caddie and I grabbed our rental car and made the forty-five minute drive to Dade City. Travel days in professional golf aren’t glamorous. The routine is simple. Check into the hotel. Drop the bags. Grab dinner. Grocery shop for the week. Then it’s time to rest and get ready. Because once practice rounds begin, the focus shifts entirely to the golf course. Tomorrow the real work begins.

The life of professional golf is a constant mix of preparation, travel, and finding ways to sharpen your game wherever you are. The past couple of weeks back in Arizona were exactly that for me—a chance to reset, spend time with some great people, and tighten things up before heading out for the next tournament. While I was home, I got the opportunity to play in a couple of scrambles with friends. Those days are always fun because they remind me why I fell in love with golf in the first place. Competitive golf can be intense, and sometimes stepping into a relaxed environment where you’re laughing, competing a little, and just enjoying the game is the perfect reset. It was also great getting to share the course with friends and supporters who have been following my journey. Even during those fun rounds, the focus never really leaves. I also spent some time working on my game and took a couple of lessons to help shape things up before this next stretch of tournaments. It’s always amazing how small adjustments can make a big difference. Sometimes it’s not about reinventing anything—it’s about tightening the screws, getting back to the fundamentals, and building confidence before competition. After putting in that work, it was time to pack up and head to Florida for the next event. This week I’m competing in a NXXT Tour event in Dade City, Florida, and I’m really looking forward to it. Every tournament this season feels like another building block. Each round, each shot, each event is part of the bigger picture as I continue chasing the next level of my career. The timing of this event is especially important because I have a couple of Monday qualifiers coming up later this month. Opportunities like those can open big doors, so being in tournament mode right now is exactly where I want to be. Playing competitive rounds helps sharpen the mindset and get everything tournament-ready. Golf is funny that way—sometimes the biggest wins aren’t just trophies. Sometimes the win is knowing you’re putting the pieces together, trusting the work you’ve done, and showing up ready for whatever the game throws your way. So here we go again. Another tournament, another opportunity, another step forward on this journey. Let’s see what this week in Dade City has in store.

After finishing the final round at Juliette Falls Golf Club, I had a short interview following the win on the NXXT Tour. This video captures the immediate thoughts — the emotions, the mindset during the round, and the moments that stood out from the week. It wasn’t about overanalyzing anything, just answering a few simple questions and reflecting while it was all still fresh. Sometimes the raw reactions right after a tournament say more than a recap ever could. 🎥 Watch the interview above to hear the full conversation from right after the round. 🌐 Follow the journey at GabbyGolfs.com
