We love when Paige Spiranac does an interactive Q&A session with her Instagram followers, as it’s a great opportunity to learn more about the content creator and golf instructor. 

Earlier this week, the 30-year-old answered questions on her story and used a fan’s rude inquiry about her speech as an opportunity to talk about the strangeness of being a social media personality.

“I think one of the weirdest things about being on social media is how people critique the smallest things about you,” Spiranac said when someone critiqued her voice. “ ... Every day, it’s like ‘She looks thinner, or fatter, or her face looks different, or did she get this done or that done?’ and the pictures are taken like a day apart, [but] people are like, ‘Oh my gosh, she had all this work done, she had her teeth done or she had this done’ and all this stuff and there’s always speculation about every little part of my body, which can make you at times very insecure.”

The one-time SI Swimsuit model also noted that she’s occasionally “scared” to post things based on how she thinks her content will be received. 

“And I’m really trying to get out of that, but that’s one of the weirdest things that you have to kind of deal with online,” Spiranac added of being in the limelight.

During her interactive Q&A session, Spiranac also discussed her current workout and nutrition routine, shared how she first got into the game of golf and discussed her goals for the year ahead.
