Golf Influencer Grace Charis Launches Dialed Golf

If you're dialed in both to professional golf and what's happening on social media, you may be familiar with Grace Charis. Ever since she fell in love with golf five years ago, she's been on a trajectory as one of the fastest-rising stars in golf's social media landscape.
The southern California native, who refers to herself on social media simply as 'your favorite golf girl,' picked up golf during the COVID-19 pandemic and began posting her exploits on all of her social media accounts.
But what began as fun on social media quickly grew an enormous following, to the tune of 3.7 million followers on Instagram, as well as 3 million on TikTok and 1.5 million on YouTube. Eventually, as interest in golf-related content soared, especially on TikTok, her following became big enough that she was able to use it to raise money for college.
But Charis says that while she's become more than a scratch golfer, she wrestles with the same self-competition and drive toward improvement as any avid golfer.
'I struggled really hard with the driver early on but worked really hard to make that a key skill. But I think I'm best at golf off the tee,' Charis said during our Zoom chat in late March.
Currently, Charis said she plays five rounds of golf a week and just attended the PGA Tour's Player's Cup, both to get a feel for the course and to cover the event on her socials. Covering world-class competitive golf up close, she said, makes a golfer like her want to accelerate her skillset.
'I feel like more recently it's been on the greens," Charis said that has given her the most trouble. 'Putting is on and off. But (both) are part of your routine.'
As with most who frequent the course, Charis looks to some of the top players for influence on her form. One of her favorite pros is Norwegian golfer Viktor Hovland, currently the world's No. 9 ranked player in the men's game. But in our conversation we got to talking about longtime standout Lexi Thompson.
'Lexi just recently retired, which is kind of a bummer. I actually played an event in Florida recently, the Dixie Cup, at Eagle Trace, near where she's from,' Charis noted. 'She's super athletic, and that (along with) seeing where she grew up and the conditions, it's no wonder why she's so good.'
Charis, like Thompson and the best of the field, also has her own fitness routine built around golf, although she said she's not a "gym rat.'
'I do like a couple of workouts, but I don't feel I have to be a certain size or anything. I just try to stay in shape. I think a lot of it is technique, and just overall fitness and stamina have been a big thing. Especially when you are walking 18 holes and (doing) tournaments or two days of 36.'
While stamina isn't perhaps as hard for a 24-year-old accustomed to playing golf nearly every day, Charis admits that there are some physical aspects every golfer can work on in order to raise their level of play.
'Glutes are very important in the golf swing, just being able to fire them (up). I surf as well, which I think keeps you engaged, as you always have to be looking at the next wave and, like golf, be engaged with your surroundings.'
In accordance with her love of the game, Charis decided to expand her activities beyond playing often and sharing her journey on social media. Just this week Charis launched her new golf-inspired apparel line, called Dialed Golf.
Charis said that she thinks of golf not just as a game but as something of a universal language that she thinks unites people from different worlds and different backgrounds. As such, she said that Dialed Golf was launched as an innovative apparel brand designed for golfers who seek adventure, connection, and personal growth on and off the course.
Dialed Golf's line offers a different take on popular golf items, such as golf shirts, hoodies, hats, and on-the-course accessories like ball markers and tees. But the line also reflects Charis's easygoing nature and sense of humor, shown in the line's fun 'Walk It Off' t-shirt.
'Golf is more than a sport; it's a way to see the world, meet new people, and push yourself to new limits." She added, 'With Dialed Golf, we're creating apparel that represents that mindset—gear that's functional, stylish, and made for those who want to experience everything golf has to offer.'

The Thunder had one more opponent after winning the NBA title. The champagne corks were formidable

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma City Thunder had just won the NBA championship, the on-court ceremony was over and they were heading to the locker room to start the party. This typically includes the traditional spraying of champagne all over everyone and everything. And the Thunder were ready to partake in all that. 'Where's the champagne at?' some yelled on their way into the room. It was ready. Problem was, the Thunder were not. See, the Thunder are young, the youngest NBA champion in nearly a half-century. And, well, it turns out that most players had absolutely no idea how to pop the corks. 'None of us knew how to do it," center Isaiah Hartenstein said, revealing that some players — yes, moments after winning the NBA title — were going onto YouTube in search of tutorials for how to make the bubbles fly. Enter Thunder guard Alex Caruso, who has already won an NBA title. The oldest player on the team, at 31, showed everyone how to get it done. And eventually, they got it right. 'We didn't do it all at the same time until, like, the third try," Caruso said. "I tried my best.' In time, they all figured it out. It was the last lesson of many this season for the Thunder, who finished with 84 wins — tying for the third-most in NBA history. And the team could have all of its key players back next season; they're all under contract. So, if the Thunder find a way to go back-to-back, Caruso expects the locker room celebration to go a bit more smoothly in 2026. 'We'll get some rest, reset, try to go again next year and see if we can do it again," Caruso said. "We'll be better. We'll be better next year.'

‘All I Get Is Old Men:' Man Buys Classic Chevrolet to Get Attention From Women. It Backfires

A man's scheme to attract the female gaze by purchasing a vintage car ultimately backfired. Johnny (@canadajuice) shared his woes in a viral TikTok that's accrued more than 1.2 million views on the popular social media platform. In the video, he airs his grievances over the consequences of his buy. 'I bought this car for attention from women.' he says, speaking directly into the camera and ambling through an indoor parking garage. Following this, he directs his camera toward an early model Chevy Impala as he holds a guitar in hand. However, Johnny says that only older dudes seem to care that he's currently riding around in a classic. 'And all I get is old men saying put down your window son. You weren't even alive when that car was being made…' his video cuts out before he completes his sentence. Commenters React Despite his frustrations, several folks had differing opinions about Johnny's vehicle and the interest it would garner. One TikToker argued that there are certainly some members of the opposite sex who'd be intrigued by his wheels. 'Any woman who watches Supernatural will give you attention,' one said. Someone else echoed the aforementioned sentiment, and even gave Johnny some pointers on how to capitalize on the Supernatural demographic. 'You just need a flannel shirt and a worn-out leather jacket like Dean Winchester.' Winchester drove one on the long-running, 20-year-old show . Another remarked that the older men trying to lecture the TikToker about the age of his vehicle are probably envious: 'They're jealous they don't have the swag you have,' one wrote. One woman told Johnny that they had their interest piqued by his post and video. Another replied: 'I'll give you some attention…' But someone else speculated another piece of Johnny's property showcased in his clip will likely get more eyes on him: 'The guitar is probably going to get you more attention from women than the car.' Classic Impala The Chevrolet Impala model Johnny shows off in his video appears to have been manufactured in the 1970s. Newer Impala models, from 1994 and up, are known to have several recurring problems. This includes oil dripping and exhaust manifold woes, along with engine cooling issues. The brand's automatic transmission hasn't seemed to really win over driving enthusiasts, either. More on the Impala Big Chevy Barn Find Sees Camaro, Impala, Square Body Pickup Collecting Dust Chevy Impala Dies Today, 62 Years Since The Original's Launch Additionally, there are braking system faults to keep an eye out for. Older Impalas have their own set of issues, but there are many car enthusiasts who have a fondness for these cars. Like this YouTuber who called the 1967 Chevrolet Impala the best ride the brand has ever made . Should I Buy a Classic Car? Anytime one purchases a car that's decades old, there are a slew of issues that need to be addressed. Locating parts can oftentimes be a drag, as classic components may need to be special-ordered. Moreover, many of these rides have probably been sitting dormant for years on end. Which means that a lack of use could necessitate deep cleaning and restoration on key components. Furthermore, drivers can expect to forego a lot of modern standard amenities and luxuries. There are some benefits to riding around in a vintage vehicle, however. Despite oftentimes requiring meticulous upkeep, unlike many newer cars, vintage cars can be an asset. It's not uncommon for highly sought-after older cars to increase in value. Furthermore, because they were manufactured in a different era, they can bypass specific inspection and emissions guidelines . Then there's the added benefit of the coolness factor: It's hard to argue against the aesthetic of a classic Impala. Conversely, later model offerings pale in comparison with its more utilitarian, boring-everyday-sedan design language. Classic: Simple and Reliable? On one hand, getting a vintage, cobwebbed-garage car up and running is a tall order. Troubleshooting parts, getting all of the components firing reliably, and abstaining from modern commuter comforts is certainly a learning curve. Although there is something to be said about the simplicity of said vehicles. And handling a classic Impala may feel like piloting a yacht on asphalt. But these cars do have fans. This YouTube user calls the 1976 Chevrolet Impala 'America's ultimate classic car.' Invariably, more feature-packed vehicles are going to be prone to more issues. For instance, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio , which is hardly a ubiquitous SUV when compared to, let's say, the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Between 2017 and 2024, there were 9 separate recalls for this particular model. Incorrectly labeled tire sizes. Brake pedal detachments. Front airbag deployment problems. Brake rotor fractures. Rotor and shaft separations. Side curtain airbag engagement issues. All of these problems occurred after just seven years. Conversely, the 1976 Chevrolet Impala, despite being around for nearly 50 years, has just one safety recall issued . And that's for its hydraulic braking system, where a differential proportional valve needs to be swapped out. Its engine has been praised as stalwart and reliable, and could most likely stand the test of time with routine maintenance. Vintage Chevrolet Impala: Worth it? If you're considering getting a classic car, ensure that you have adequate time and resources dedicated to giving it the TLC it'll probably need. Perhaps you, too, could find yourself getting head nods from older men. And maybe bedroom eyes from Supernatural viewers. Motor1 has reached out to Johnny via TikTok comment for further information.
