While Paige Spiranac often receives rude commentary on her social media posts, ranging from sexist remarks about her body to ones questioning her skills, the trolls clearly don’t faze her.

On Nov. 25, the 30-year-old golf instructor and former Division I athlete took to Instagram to cheekily clap back at her detractors. In the beginning of the reel, Spiranac strutted out onto the green in a plunging sleeveless top and matching athleisure mini skirt with a grin on her face. She held her club in one hand and wore a white golf glove on the other. “Bet she can’t even play” was written across the screen.

The clip then cut to the one-time SI Swimsuit model, clad in an equally cute white top and mini skirt combo, as she teed off with precision. “Girl power🔥⛳️,” she wrote in her caption.

“How does anyone still not know that you have great golf skills,” one of Spiranac’s 3.9 million followers questioned in the comments section. “Where has that person been living.”

“Beauty, brains, and athletic talent = unbeatable,” one person added.

“The one!! The only 🤩 The Queen of Golf 🔥👏🔥👏,” someone else cheered.

Spiranac shared the same clip on TikTok, where she received similar words of encouragement on her scratch golf game. 

The media personality, who posed for the 2018 SI Swimsuit Issue in Aruba, has a great sense of humor when it comes to letting rude commentary roll off her back, and it’s one of the many reasons why we adore her.
