During the show, the host mentioned to Spiranac that they had recently spoken to Steph Curry about golf. He claimed that Curry appeared to have great respect for professional golfers but also expressed the belief that he could take on the challenge and become a professional golfer himself. The golf beauty, though, had a firm and clear response that the NBA legend may not be able to!

The ex-pro golfer expressed her disagreement with the belief that golf is something that can be learned quickly. She wanted to emphasize that people often underestimate just how skilled professional golfers truly are. Spiranac stated, “You can get to a +2 or +3 handicap and still not even sniff making the tour.

The Golf Mommy went on further to praise the professionals by saying, “These guys are elite athletes, and they are playing at a level most of us can’t even comprehend.” Despite her completely opposite stance to the NBA star, however, she was not entirely pessimistic about Curry turning pro in golf!

She praised him for being “a freak of nature” as well as incredibly athletic and said that she would never bet against him.
