Paige Spiranac recalls 'traumatizing' moment rude woman called her golf outfit 'inappropriate'
Paige Spiranac recalled bursting into tears after a lady on a golf course called her outfit inappropriate. The Instagram influencer with around 3.5 million followers recently revealed to fans that she dresses a certain way because she has "an image to uphold."
Spiranac claims that she always takes into account the needs and desires of the golf course where she will be playing. When she happened to visit a new course, she had, as usual, gone over the dress code to ensure she followed it, but her outfit choice of the day did not appear to satisfy one of the enraged players on the course. The ex-golfer, 29, told her podcast audience on Playing A Round that a rebuke from a moody player had left her shaken.

"I wore something I knew I wouldn't get in trouble with," Spiranac said last month on the podcast. "I had a collar, I zipped the zipper up so there was no cleavage showing, it came about mid-thigh, and I felt like it was a very appropriate outfit."
"This lady goes up to one of the workers and I hear her talking to this guy, and I can't quite make it out. Then all of a sudden I hear, 'what she's wearing is inappropriate, we have rules, I'm going to talk to her,'" Spiranac said. "I tee off and I'm shaking because I never want to be in a position where I'm making a bad first impression."
She added, "I [like to] look inappropriate because I know the misconceptions on me to begin with so I really try to dress as appropriately as possible." Spiranac revealed that she made it through the round after a rocky start, but was then chased down in the parking lot.
"She comes straight up to me, stops me in the parking lot, and she goes, 'woman to woman, you need to hear this. You look cute but that is highly inappropriate, we have rules here and you cannot wear that outfit,'" She recalled.
"She was so condescending and so rude to me. She was talking to me like I'd never been on a golf course before and like I wasn't rich enough to know these rules, and I'm just a stupid young girl that looks s***** on the golf course," Spiranac said. "I was just out there minding my own business and she makes a point to make me feel so small."
"It was one of the most traumatizing experiences that's happened to me on a golf course in a long time. I literally cried all the way home," she added. Despite her strong golf skills, Spiranac claims she no longer has the mental fortitude to play professionally. She enjoys communicating with her fans and has a massive global fan base. She is frequently seen on her Instagram profile participating in Q&A sessions with her followers, revealing her most personal secrets.
