'I was shunned by stuffy golfing world because of my cleavage,' says social media favorite Paige Spirinac

Former pro golfer Paige Spirinac has slammed what she says is rampant “stuffiness” in the sport, claiming she's been shunned “because of her cleavage” and shamed as “a sl*t.”

Spirinac, 26, emerged as a college golf star while at university in Arizona and San Diego, before briefly playing professionally on the women’s Cactus Tour in 2015-16.

However, the budding blonde star decided to leave the professional ranks as her social media popularity soared, also featuring in magazines such as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.

Give me a break.

She was "shunned" because she wasn't making cuts, and when she did place in the money, she wasn't making very much.

She found out she could make more money wearing bikinis for Sports Illustrated than she could playing professional golf.

From her Wikipedia page regarding her total professional career:

Spiranac debuted on the Cactus Tour at the Las Colinas club in Queen Creek, Arizona. A five-under-par final round earned her a tie for 14th place[14] and a prize of only $100 out of the $12,080 purse, a small figure even amongst women's professional golf tournaments. Another strong final round showing at her second event at Lookout Mountain, a day's best three-under-par, resulted in a third place tie at one-under with Hannah Arnold,[15] good for $950.

A sudden-death win at Scottsdale's Orange Tree Country Club over Hannah O’Sullivan, the then top-ranked amateur in the world,[16] earned Spiranac her first tour win, in just her third start.

She next finished ninth at Stallion Mountain, earning an $800 prize.[17] At the Aliante Golf Club, Spiranac finished 17th out of 52 golfers,[18] her twelve-over-par score netting a $575 prize.[18] She finished eight-over-par for a seventh-place finish at Walnut Creek in Mansfield, Texas, earning $600.[19]

After a two-month layoff, Spiranac bounced back to a three-way second-place tie at Legacy in Phoenix, Arizona, with Jane Rah and Caroline Inglis.[20] Her second best finish of the year earned $935.[20] A two-under-par final round produced another top-five finish at Trilogy[21] and $800. The final event of the season was the 2016 Arizona Women's Open in Sun City, Arizona. Spiranac shot an opening round 78 and finished 30th.[22]

Seeking to concentrate on growing her social media presence and influence, Spiranac changed her agent to Jeremy Aisenberg of Octagon after the season.[12] After missing the cut once again at Dubai in 2016, she has not played professional golf since, and has instead concentrated on growing her brand.

I was watching her swing, and was astonished that somehow everything stayed in its appropriate package!

I too was amazed watching that vid clip. I mean, the shear mass, the unbelievable size...of the head of her driver! How can you miss?

The LPGA is dominated by lesbians and Koreans... their ratings have to be awful! They’d be smart to ensure there were at least a dozen hot, hetero babes participating.

"I was shunned by stuffy golfing world because of my cleavage"

means:

"To hell with golf, look at my cleavage"

HER BRAND? Haven’t ever heard fake breasts referred to as a brand. ; )

God bless you & your wife.

Certainly, great progress in medical treatment since it claimed my wife.

Keep your faith in Him...

This woman is a few bottles short of a case — or maybe she knows just what she’s doing.

Constant whining about no one taking her seriously as a pro golfer and everyone is obsessed by her looks.

I could watch her golf all day, but don’t walk out on the course with your boobs flying around and then get offended because I looked.

The “Quilting Bee” over on the QAnon Thread more than makes up for it.

Women’s anatomy is a very powerful motivator for many men… We could be driving down the road in our car and see a young lady on a bicycle going to other way on the other side of the road who has cleavage showing, and… We might well look and Risk running our car off the road.

Of course, everybody knows it’s impolite to gape and ogle, but… That’s biology at work there.

The pics on this thread are at best disappointing. I'll fix that.
