Being a social media influencer is never easy. You need to be more careful with how you share your point of view. Social media star, Paige Spiranac, had a similar experience. And how she dealt with the issue was commendable. 

The famous professional golfer turned golf analyst, Sir Nick Faldo, retired from his job recently. His CBS colleagues and crew gave him an emotional farewell after the Rocket Mortgage Classic last week.

As a person who has entertained the golf world for 16 years, many people were sad about his retirement. However, Spiranac wasn’t one of them. According to her, the English man used to be a great commentator until the last couple of years. “I don’t think I am gonna miss Sir Nick Faldo like I’ve missed Johnny Miller,” she said
