Ever thought about why she is dubbed the ‘Golf Queen’? It must have been for a reason! Anyhow, you guessed right, since Paige Spiranac does boast quite some skills when it comes to golf, despite not making a successful pro. And what better way to prove that than by carding a hole-in-one… well, an almost ace, to be frank, which then brings us to the question: how many aces does she have to her name?
The answer to that query is in the recent video that the 31-year-old shared on her Instagram handle. “Play a hole with me!” wrote Spiranac as she shared a snippet of her playing off at the Liberty National. The diva then went ahead to add how many aces she has carded in her life before posing the same to her fans: “Fun fact: I’ve had 4 holes in one. How many do you have?”
There’s that! 4 aces, one of which came last year in her 48th attempt she completed a challenge with JetFuel Energy to sink a hole-in-one in 50 tries. The count would have been 5 if not for the close miss, which she converted into a birdie at the par-3, 14th hole of the Liberty National Club. She teed off at the 120-yard layout with a “little pitching wedge,” following which she fixed her ball mark and guided her spheroid for a birdie. “I thought I made it. I thought I was gonna get my 5th hole-in-one,” said Spiranac as she added, “Unfortunately, that did not happen.”

That’s not all. While disclosing the details of her holes-in-one, the golfing influencer also made sure to dish out some “good golf karma” for her fans. “Here’s a reminder to fix your ball marks on the greens,” said the ex-pro as she did the same before carding her birdie. “Fix yours and five more. It’s just good golf karma, and… I was about to bounce all off until I realized that I left the flag.” The model then went back, picked up the banner, and put it back in. Seems like Paige Spiranac does know her golfing etiquette.

This is not the first time that the golfing influencer has come out candidly about what to do on a golf course. She had shared a video on her X handle calling out the most ridiculous of golfing shenanigans, according to her. “These are things in golf that just don’t make any sense to me,” said Spiranac.
Paige Spiranac’s ‘not-to-do’ list
What’s your perspective on:
Paige Spiranac's 4 aces—are they proof she's more than just a pretty face in golf?
Have an interesting take?
Any idea what tops her list of things that are absurd in the sport? Well, look no further. She first, pointed out how “not getting free relief off a fairway divot” was unfair. Then she went on to talk about people who don’t rake their bunkers nor fix their pitch marks before calling out people who take over 5 hours to finish a round of golf.

Is that all? The answer to that would be a ‘No’ since she also highlighted the need for courses to let the golfers know when they punch the greens before criticizing the traditional attire of the game (remember Lucas Glover’s ‘swamp a**’ incident?). After dishing out so many on her list, Paige Spiranac finished it all off by talking about “people who insist on playing the tips even though they don’t hit it over 230.” The rearmost set of tees should primarily be used by those who can hit long.
She sure does have a knack when it comes to making people turn their heads by using golf content. Couple that with the modeling side, and you get the reason behind her growth as an influencer in the sport, allowing her to teach tips about the sport to her fans. Truly inspiring!
