Paige Spiranac is gradually adding an element from her past into her present golf game.
In a candid post shared Sunday on X, the longtime golf influencer revealed how she’s keeping score on her rounds again after previously judging her self-worth based on her results on the course.
“I played junior golf, college golf and a year professionally. After that stretch I mentally couldn’t handle playing golf and especially keeping score. I equated my score to my self worth. I know it sounds silly but competitive golf really beat me up emotionally. But I’ve found that passion again! I’ve started tracking my scores and grinding on my game,” the 31-year-old Spiranac wrote.
She concluded the post by sharing a photo of herself at Austin Country Club, the previous site of the WGC Match Play Championship, which she dubbed “such a fun track!”
“I’ll keep you posted here on my journey!” Spiranac exclaimed. “This round at Austin CC I shot a 73.”
Spiranac played golf at the University of Arizona and San Diego State before turning pro.
The social media juggernaut has long been open about struggling in the sport, sharing on a 2023 episode of her “Playing A Round” podcast how she felt “mentally exhausted” when on the pro circuit.
