Paige Spiranac has joined in on a new TikTok trend, and her take is one of our favorites yet. The golf instructor and former Division I player chimed in with her version on the platform on Thursday. 

“Practicing and playing golf for 18 grueling years just to have men give me unsolicited advice on the range,” was written across the top of Spiranac’s video.

“All that work and what did it get me?” she mouthed as she sat blinking and staring, as the camera panned across her face. The trending audio, from an episode of Glee, has gone viral and has been used by everyone from four-time SI Swimsuit model Haley Kalil to actor Josh Peck in order to express frustration or bewilderment over a given situation. 

“Gotta love it,” Spiranac, a 2018 SI Swimsuit model, wrote in her caption of experiencing mansplaining on the green. 

“I’ve been playing since 1972…you can give me lessons anytime,” one of Spiranac’s 1.5 million followers commented. “I’m sure you’re a hundred times better than me!”

“the struggle is real. my daughter is a D3 college golfer and this always happens to her,” another user shared.

“Believe me, I’d be asking you for advice!” someone else stated.

“Just ignore them,” another follower suggested. “You’re the BOSS!”

“Never saw any part of your game that I could critique! You’re terrific!!” an additional user added.

“Feel free to throw some range advice my way,” another fan pleaded.

“Adore your stories and your sense of humor 🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️,” someone else added.
