Paige Spiranac has called out a certain golf country club she wasn’t able to name for contacting her for content and then backtracking once said content was posted online.
The golfer-turned-model usually posts videos to her Instagram page that she calls “play a hole with me,” in which she tells viewers about the golf course she’s on while walking them through a hole.
Her latest one was not what fans have become used to, and she explained why.
“Hello everyone. It’s time to play a hole with me today,” she said in the video. “And unfortunately, I can’t tell you the name of the golf course or the golf hole because they don’t want me to. They originally reached out and said they love my content. They love what I’m doing for the game of golf, and they would love to host me.
“But I was hesitant, because I know how most middle tier country clubs can be. Most of the members have this elitist attitude and I know that my dress code can be a sore point for a lot of people. But I’m always respectful, so I asked them if my outfit was okay and they watched me shoot every single piece of content.
“There were no problems until after I posted one of my videos and they said ‘hey, we know we asked for tags, but you’re gonna have to remove all tags. We don’t want you to be associated with our golf course.’
“I actually prefer public golf courses because I find the people nicer and the environment more welcoming. Golf is all about trying to enjoy this bizarre game with even better company. I think we all need to do a better job of taking ourselves a little bit less serious and having a little bit more fun.”
Spiranac’s brand is not everyone’s cup of tea, which is certainly understandable. But there is little to say in defense of a particular group reaching out to her and then going back on their deal.
