Paige Spiranac is back on the course.
The popular golf influencer, who played collegiately at the University of Arizona and San Diego State, has millions of followers across X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Spiranac, who is perhaps most active on YouTube, is trying to bring more attention to the women’s game.

This week, Spiranac welcomed her friend, fellow women’s golfer Hannah. She is teasing that it is arguably her “funnniest” video yet.
“New YouTube is out with my girl Hannah! One of the funniest episodes yet,” she wrote.
Spiranac, who played professionally for a brief period before getting into the content game, is hoping to put more of a spotlight on the women’s golf game.
“I love golf. I want everyone to play and I’m excited about all the new people getting into the game. I feel that should be the attitude everyone should have if you truly love the game. I’m so tired of hearing ‘shrink’ and hating on this new culture of golf fans. This condescending and belittling behavior of new golfers is gross to me. You’re not better than someone else or morally superior because you’ve played longer. Golf doesn’t need to be stuffy and exclusive to preserve what we all love about the game so much. It’s about community. Part of the growth is educating and helping new players learn. Stop gatekeeping golf,” she states.

Spiranac wants to do more to grow the game
Spiranac is standing by her opinions.
“A couple things here after reading the responses.
“1. I’ve been lucky enough to play at some of the nicest courses and I also still play (and pay for rounds) at munis. Debauchery and poor pace of play happens at both from new golfers to old. I think people in general are less kind and considerate and that is also showing up on the golf course
“2. Pace of the play seems to be the biggest issue for everyone. I think if courses stick to 12-15 minute interval tee times and crack down on pace of play then the experience will be enhanced for all

“3. It’s funny how people will preach decorum, etiquette and how it’s a gentleman’s game while also sending the most vile tweets lol.”
Spiranac will have a lot of fans moving forward if she sticks to opinions like that.
