Speaking in an interview with Esquire, Paige Spiranac said: “I actually was a competitive gymnast for the first part of my life. From age 6 to 12, I dedicated pretty much everything to that until I got injured really badly. I was doing a vault, so I was jumping backward [and] when I was taking off, the muscle pulled the bone off my kneecap." "In gymnastics, it's all about never show[ing] when you're injured, so I went almost a month with a broken kneecap.” View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Paige Spiranac continued: “I was scared to tell my coaches, and I was scared to tell my parents [laughs].

You have a good personality for it.' I hit the first golf ball and loved it right away.” Spiranac went on to add that she loved golf as it’s a 'gentleman's game'. In the interview, the golfer-turned-influencer mentioned that she was never overly competitive, which made it tough for her to succeed in gymnastics.

So, when you perform, the only way that you can get on the podium or win is to have the judges think that you're good enough. But in golf, it's all up to you. I like that I'm accountable for the outcome of my game.” In the 2015 interview, Paige Spiranac also mentioned that she loved to play golf alone as playing by herself felt 'peaceful'.
