Perhaps most hurtful story of all on Spiranac’s latest podcast though, was her recounting how an attempt to donate golf clubs to a charity was thwarted because of the way she dressed.
Spiranac said board members of the unnamed charity disapproved of her image, and were thus not interested in her help.
“I wanted to help this charity out and I wanted to give them free golf clubs,” she said. “The guy wrote back and said, ‘We would love to but, because of the way our board members view you, you can’t help out’.
“I want to give back to these kids who don’t have anything, because I grew up not having anything, and I can’t even f***ing do that because of my cleavage.
“We bond over having a common interest and we all love the same thing … I don’t understand why it matters if you’re wearing a polo (shirt) and I’m not wearing a polo.
“If a guy on tour wears shorts instead of pants, the world’s not going to end. In golf, people make all of these problems so serious and it’s not serious.”
