“You never want to work on your technique really close to an event”: Paige Spiranac gives her #1 tip for a successful golf tournament
After a career in amateur and professional golf, Paige Spiranac has made a name for herself through social media. She has amassed a lot of followers on platforms like Instagram and YouTube, constantly engaging with them through golf-related content and interactive sessions.
In one of her recently uploaded YouTube videos, Spiranac revealed she will be playing a stroke play event at the end of August. Through the video, she showed her process of getting ready for the tournament and also gave a tip summarizing her preparation toward tasting success at any event.
"Like I said, I am four weeks out, which is a good amount of time to be able to work on my technique and also shots. You never want to work on your technique really close to an event or a situation where you need to play under pressure," Paige Spiranac said [at 01:10].
"So, right now, I know I have a lot of time to be able to work on technique and to work on different shots I want to have in the bag. At the driving range, I like to give myself about 30 minutes to an hour. Sometimes more if I have the time and I am really working on something," she added.
Spiranac told her viewers that they don't need to spend hours at the driving range, but instead, they need to work smart and work on the right things. She said that most people come to the driving range and just keep on hitting rather than working on the specifics to improve their game.
Paige Spiranac reveals her level of preparation ahead of the event she is going to compete in
While there are no details on the event in which Paige Spiranac will play, there is a lot of anticipation among fans to see her compete. This is partly because while Spiranac does make golf-related content, she does not play competitive golf anymore.
In the aforementioned video, apart from demonstrating her preparation for the event, the 31-year-old Spiranac also mentioned that she does not usually play the type of event she is going to be competing in.
"This one is an important event. It's a stroke play event which I don't normally play stroke play events, especially under pressure. And so, it's really important that I feel super confident with my game. But unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time because my August is going to be extremely busy," Paige Spiranac said [at 00:19].
It will be interesting to see how Spiranac performs at the end of August. She earned the only win in her professional golf career when she beat Hannah O'Sullivan on the Cactus Tour in May 2016. While she competed in an LPGA Tour Qualifying Tournament in August the same year, she didn't earn a card to play on the professional circuit.
