Paige Spiranac slammed golf for being stuffy and elitist
During her recent appearance on “Playing-A-Round” podcast, Paige Spiranac made some profound insights concerning the whole golf community. She recalled being rejected from volunteering at a charity once and being called a “w****” and a “s***.”

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.” The incident broke her heart and made her furious. Pouring her heart out she said, “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****** do that because of my cleavage.”
