Paige Spiranac, a former professional golfer and popular online personality, shared a memorable yet frustrating moment on the golf course involving Guardians of the Galaxy actor Chris Pratt.
This incident took place during a celebrity Ryder Cup-style competition at the Genesis Invitational, where Spiranac was teamed up with musician Nick Jonas. “He played at a really slow pace,” Paige remarked about Pratt’s golfing speed. “He might just be the slowest golfer I’ve ever played with. A super friendly guy, but oh so slow.”
Paige shared that Pratt’s engaging stories and entertaining interactions slowed down the game significantly. “We were four holes behind on a nine-hole course,” she chuckled. “They had to tell us to speed it up, and he had a whole crowd around him. His stories were great, but we were just waiting to hit the ball!”
While her remarks were lighthearted, they highlight one of Paige’s main frustrations – slow play, an issue she frequently addresses in her golf insights. In addition to calling out celebrities, Spiranac is dedicated to imparting knowledge about the sport to fans.
Paige’s Efforts in Golf Education
“The PGA Tour is for professional players, the well-known names, while the PGA of America consists of teaching professionals – the ones assisting you with your swing on weekends.” Her concise explanation? “If you can share that at a gathering, you’ll impress everyone.”
Whether she’s guiding enthusiasts through the details of the game or humorously pointing out the blunders of A-list celebrities, it’s clear that Paige Spiranac is unafraid to share her honest opinions – even if that means poking fun at Star-Lord during a round.
