Paige Spiranac shared a humorous take on her love-hate relationship with the game of golf. The 31-year-old is one of the most followed golf influencers and regularly shares golf content on her social media platforms.

In a recent Instagram video, Spiranac was seen dressed in a green sleeveless top with white shorts and golf shoes. In the clip, she could be seen preparing for a shot on the fairway with palm trees and a bunker in the background. Despite a perfect swing, she made an imprecise connection with the ball, which flew to the left missing its desired target.

Spiranac playfully captioned the post:

"Golf is my therapy and the reason I need therapy lol"

In the clip, Spiranac wrote how golf can be both a therapeutic escape and a source of stress and frustration:

"I should go play golf for my mental health. The golf:"

The clip reverberated with fans and gained more than 500k views in less than five hours. Spiranac has more than 4 million followers on Instagram.

The 31-year-old played Division 1 college golf at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University from 2011 to 2015. She also played on the Cactus Tour but failed to gain an LPGA Tour card. In 2024, she competed in the "The Creator Classic" which was held ahead of the Tour Championship. She finished ninth in a field of 15 golf influencers at the event.

Paige Spiranac shares the mechanics of "the putter"

Apart from Instagram, Paige Spiranac is also regular on YouTube where she has gained more than 435k followers. In a recent YouTube video in her series "The Beginner's Guide to Starting Golf", Spiranac talked about the Putter.

In the video, Spiranac started by explaining the purpose of the putter and its role in golf. She said:

"The putter is what you're going to be using on the putting green, and the green is the tightest of all the grasses that you're going to be playing on. That's the easiest way to remember it. It's the last thing you're also going to be doing because you're hitting it into the hole."

Spiranac described different types of putters. She shared:

"A putter has all different types of head shapes, so putting is very personalized based on what people prefer. Some people like a wider grip; some people like a smaller grip. There are all different types of holes. Some people like when it's more curved like this; some people have them bent."

Paige Spiranac said that she preferred a smaller head in her putter. She described that there are two main types of putters with small blades and larger mallet with some hybrids in between. At the end of the video, she suggested that beginners start with any putter and focus on practicing their swing.
