Some days, golf feels like poetry. Other days, you just want to toss your clubs into the nearest lake. Paige Spiranac just had one of those days. The 32-year-old influencer, who once dreamed of a career in professional golf, posted a brutally honest and painfully relatable message on her social media:
“I hate golf lol I went 8 over through 3 holes. Hit an impressive 5 shanks. Then proceeded to shoot 2 under for the next 15 holes”

That “lol” hides a lot. Because only someone who truly loves the sport can still joke after such an emotional rollercoaster. One minute you’re completely defeated, and the next, you’re making birdies like nothing ever happened.
Spiranac’s complicated relationship with golf
Spiranac had already been venting her frustrations online. Just a few days ago, she admitted to hitting two cold, hard shanks in one round. “Not one, two. Something special,” she wrote, with a dose of sarcasm that only those who’ve felt that shame can fully appreciate.
But that’s not all. She’s also been battling hooks off the tee – another nightmare that can make you hate golf in seconds.
“I love golf, but nothing makes me want to quit more than constantly hitting hooks. It’s exasperating.”
Who hasn’t been there? And this is coming from someone who doesn’t play for money or trophies – she plays out of pure passion. Yet even then, the game turns on her when she least expects it.
From golf prospect to brutally honest influencer
Back in 2015, Spiranac helped her college team win the Mountain West Conference championship and even had a brief stint as a professional, winning a Cactus Tour event. But the pressure, criticism, and hyper-competitive environment pushed her away from the circuit.
Spiranacs complicated relationship with golf
She didn’t walk away from golf, though – she made it her own. Today, she’s one of the sport’s most followed voices on social media, even if she doesn’t always get the recognition she deserves. Her posts blend technical advice, humor, style, and an unfiltered honesty that sets her apart.
Spiranac once said she’d fallen back in love with golf
Last year, Spiranac said she had fallen in love with the game again. She played more than ever, felt her game improving, and spoke with renewed excitement. But as every golfer knows, that love can be fragile. One bad round, one rough stretch… and everything feels like it’s crumbling.
Paige knows this. And while she may say she hates golf at times, her story shows there’s no deeper hate than the kind that follows true love. Deep down, every one of her posts is a reminder of why, despite everything, we keep coming back to the course.

F1 Singapore GP live updates: FP3 latest as Lawson crashes again, qualifying to come at Marina Bay
Between the two red flags — for session-ending crashes from George Russell and Liam Lawson — and the very strange unsafe release incident with Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris (more on that in a moment), second practice in Singapore wasn’t quite as useful to teams as they may have hoped.The lack of time to get in some proper long runs left the teams a step behind their typical preparations, with the added challenge being that today’s final remaining practice takes place in different conditions to both qualifying and tomorrow’s race — basically before the sun has gone down in Singapore. Nevertheless, McLaren will have enjoyed Oscar Piastri topping the session, one-tenth of a second clear of Isack Hadjar who finished a surprise P2 for Racing Bulls. Max Verstappen got third for Red Bull ahead of Fernando Alonso in fourth, continuing […]

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos will visit the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in search of what would arguably be the biggest win of the Sean Payton era in Denver.Just don’t call it a measuring-stick game.“We know we’re a good team and can go into an opponent’s house and win a football game,” said Nik Bonitto, the Broncos pass rusher who may be playing better through four games than any defensive player in football. “I don’t think it’s a measuring stick. We know who we are.”AdvertisementThat may be true, but the world outside the Broncos’ locker room will have a much better idea of what this team is capable of this season following Sunday’s marquee matchup, which precedes a weeklong trip to London for the Broncos ahead of a Week 6 game against the Jets.

Blake Lively surprises Taylor Swift with a gesture of support amid the breakdown of their friendship
Blake Lively appeared to extend an unexpected gesture of goodwill toward Taylor Swift after the launch of her new album, as speculation continues over the breakdown of their once-close friendship. The actress quietly "liked" Swift's Instagram post celebrating the release of The Life of a Showgirl, signaling a possible thaw in their relationship after a tense period full of legal drama.The interaction drew significant attention because it arrived amid rumors that one of Swift's new tracks, "Ruin the Friendship," reflects tension between the two. Online speculation spread rapidly after fans noted parallels between the title and reports of a cooling relationship. However, industry insiders have indicated the song's lyrics, centered on a teenage romance, are unrelated to Lively or their reported fallout as there is no obvious sign of change on the end of the Grammy-winning arist.Swift, 35, marked the […]

Do kabiny přichází první, odchází poslední. Liberec pečuje o fotbalový klenot
Na začátku června Liberec vyhrál bitvu o mladého rakouského reprezentanta do 21 let, jehož získal z Lafnitzu po sestupu ze druhé ligy. „Nebylo snadné ho získat v konkurenci větších a bohatších klubů, ale podařilo se nám hráče přesvědčit díky našemu rychlému jednání a dlouhodobému plánu,“ nepřímo tehdy potvrdil generální ředitel Liberce Jan Nezmar spekulace o velkém zájmu o talentovaného záložníka ze strany Plzně či Sturmu Graz. „Pro Slovan jsem se rozhodl, protože si myslím, že to pro mě teď bude ten nejlepší krok,“ poznamenal Rakušan s bosenskými kořeny, jenž U Nisy podepsal smlouvu do roku 2029. Než si koupíte vstupenku na zápas s Bohemkou, připomeňte si výhru v Hradci v novém Behind The Scenes.— FC Slovan Liberec (@FCSlovanLiberec) October 1, 2025 V úvodu soutěže však ještě tolik šancí nedostával.
