Golf’s glamour girl Paige Spiranac hits a hole-in-one on film… but claps back at critics claiming it was fake: ‘It’s real and spectacular’

Paige Spiranac makes sure no one will ruin her fun after hitting a hole-in-one on camera for a video posted to her YouTube and social media channels.

During a challenge, the golf influencer attempted to make a hole-in-one after 50 shots – something she ultimately accomplished.

She watched as the ball rolled toward the cup and celebrated with Gavin Parker, a swing instructor there, to offer her emotional support.

But after the video was posted to Twitter, many were quick to criticize her and accuse the shot of being faked.

Spiranac then responded in an attempt to set the record straight, saying it would be foolish to try to fake a video like this.

But some believe the golf glamor girl has selectively edited her videos to fake them

“A lot of comments calling my hole-in-one fake,” she wrote. 'It's real and spectacular. But jokes aside, everyone in the golf industry knows that if we ever faked a hole in one video, our careers would be over.

'No one would ever be stupid enough to risk that. We pride ourselves on showing genuine responses. The good and the bad.'

After people started asking questions about the editing, Spiranac defended it too.

“It was a hole-in-one challenge. We had one videographer on the tee and one on the green. Here are the full images of the green,” she wrote.

She told Twitter users that this was her fifth hole-in-one ever and her second to be caught on camera.

Spiranac once pursued a career on the LPGA Tour after finding success in the Mountain West Conference during college at San Diego State University.

But after a stint on the Cactus Tour, she failed to land that elusive LPGA Tour card.

“So many growing pains,” she said earlier this year as she reflected on her time turning pro.

Spiranac responded that if she did something like that, her career would be over

She says this is the fifth time she has captured an ace and her second on camera

“I was burned out, I wouldn't say golf, just devoting my life to something and not really seeing the results.

'With gymnastics it was difficult because I was dealing with injuries, and with golf: golf is such an interesting sport because you can train, eat right, practice and still not achieve your goals.

“That was something for me that I just couldn't ignore.

“It also went against everything my parents ever told me, because I come from two athletes.

“They always said, 'If you do your best and dedicate your life to something, you will be successful.' But that just didn't happen in golf and I was driving myself crazy because I felt like I should be performing at a much higher level.”

She added, “I had everything to be a world-class golfer, but I just couldn't put it together, and I didn't know why. It really drove me crazy.'
