The former pro golfer called out the golf world for its misogyny. She revealed how golf courses don’t have feminine hygiene products. “If we’re talking about like a sexist issue with golf, the fact that they don’t a lot of most golf courses don’t have feminine products, in bathrooms at golf courses.”
Moreover, she expressed how it creates a very uncomfortable situation for female golfers to grab a sanitary napkin or a tampon from their bag and carry it to the washroom. “It really is an uncomfortable situation or trying to grab one from your golf bag over to the bathroom.”
Moreover, this incident speaks volumes about the ignorance of women athletes in the golf industry. There is not too much cost involved to add feminine hygiene products and this minor change would make their life easier. “It’s not that much. It would need to put that much money into it. And it would make us a lot happier.”
Paige expressed how it just sucks if you get your period while competing in a professional tournament or college golf event. Because, you have to do the uncomfortable grab, because of the lack of facilities.
