Social media sensation Claire Hogle has used the internet to become one of the most trending golf influencers around. She has already amassed a huge fanbase, with as many as 850,000 followers on Instagram alone. Due to her age and ventures, many have compared her to Paige Spiranac, the sport’s ultimate golf queen. But in a surprising turn of events, Hogle seemed to criticize a popular social media app for a crazy reason.
Claire Hogle vents out on Instagram!
The 23-year-old golf influencer posted a story with her friend named Sarah Lillian recently, where the duo paired up to play some golf. In a story published later that night, Hogle is seen complaining about a feature from Instagram, which sent her into a frenzy.

In the story, the camera pans to Hogle, who initially mouths an expletive before yelling, “Where are my friends?” She later explained the scenario where the golf beauty was scrolling through her Instagram feed for nearly 30 minutes.
“I am terrified. I just scrolled [through] my Instagram for the last… 30 minutes. There was one in there that maybe wasn’t an ad. But it was with a brand. All of them were ads. Where are my friends?” she yelled.
Hogle later argued a theory that the popular social media app got some revenue on clicks made by a user on its platform, before yelling out “Where are my friends” constantly over and over again.
Is Claire Hogle the next Paige Spiranac?
While Spiranac is still bossing the golf influencers stage, many up-and-coming college golfers are vying to become the new force in the industry. Among them, Hogle has created her unique fanbase, where she plays the role of a golfer and a model for her fans.
