Paige Spiranac is no longer a professional golfer, but she does make a lot of content for social media revolving around the sport. That includes guides and how-tos.
She recently started a series for beginners on her YouTube channel, where she expressed a desire to help fans get better at the game and to make sure they avoid making critical etiquette errors. The golf content creator gave a lot of advice, saying:
"I'm going to show you how to practice, how to get better because golf is weird... We think of all these crazy things to make it complicated for new people to get involved in the game." (1:43)
Spiranac said that some golfers will hit an eight-iron farther than she or others might. The golfer said that was fine because what matters is knowing how far you can hit it. She added:
"When you're out on the golf course, and you're 150 yards to the pin, you know exactly, 'Ok, that is my seven-iron, my five-iron, my nine-iron. Whatever it may be."
Therefore, the targets on the driving range will be a golfer's "best friend" to determine how far each club can be hit. Paige Spiranac also advised using the putting and chipping green, as those are key aspects of the sport.
The former LPGA Tour golfer advised everyone not to try chipping on the putting green or putting on the driving range, for example. As long as players practice the right things at the right places, they can and often will get better at the game.
Paige Spiranac provides insight into "unconventional" golf outfits
Paige Spiranac doesn't wear traditional attire when she's on the golf course. While long pants, occasionally shorts in some events, and a polo are the standard wear for golf events, that's not what Spiranac wears.
The former golfer said via The Daily Mail:
"I was a competitive gymnast before I switched over to golf. And so, I was so comfortable being in leotards and when I started playing golf I didn't have enough money to go out and buy a whole new golf-appropriate wardrobe. So I would often wear athletic wear that I just had in my closet and that was leggings and tank tops."
She said that it was in these outfits that she played and learned on public courses, where there's no strict dress code like there is on the PGA Tour or other big tournaments.
Spiranac encouraged golf fans to not worry so much about their attire if that's what is holding them back. She implored them to go to a public course instead and wear whatever they wanted to while they worked towards an improvement in golf.
