Oh good grief, really? That instagram chick on the cover of Golf Digest? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but it's so ridiculous it's hard to believe even Golf Digest would be so lame... The article, however, is truly hilarious (or at least the excerpts I read). They call her a 'futurist', whatever the hell that is supposed to be (based on how mediocre her game is, they certainly couldn't call her a 'currentist'). Dig this gem: “All by herself, she has made golf seem at least slightly interesting to a significant number of people who never used to think about it at all,” Golf Digest wrote in a “Futurists” section about golf’s “changing paths to stardom.” Uh, yeah. The guys who are subscribing to her instagram are doubtless doing it to learn all about golf. That's definitely it, uh huh. Helping the game!  |

Happy Just because she doesn't have black hair and yellow skin, show some respect and mention her name....it's Paige Spiranac. She's awesome and Paige is working really hard on her game......I FULLY BELIEVE one day she'll make it onto the LPGA tour and she'll be a weekly contender and win many events....maybe even a HOF member. She's been very dedicated and focused and deserves to be on the cover of the most influential golf magazine in history, Golf Digest. She has 672,000 Instragram followers, while the #1 fake Korean had only 62,000 followers. I've learned so many valuable golf tips from Paige's Instragram site....I've lower my cap from 7.5 to 2.2....which I'm so proud of. Please stop your hating....thanks. |

Lydia Ko: 12 wins, 2 Majors, not even 19, 0 Golf Digest covers
Inbee Park: three straight Majors won, wasn't even mentioned in the magazine that I'm aware of
Whatshername (no, I'm not going to give her any more free pub): one missed cut on the LET, 1 Golf Digest cover
They flat out should not be putting someone on the cover of a major golf magazine who has accomplished so little, ESPECIALLY when they are ignoring the hundreds and hundreds of women who have accomplished more. If she makes it to the LPGA and starts to contend, then we can talk. But until then, no way.
Imagine for a minute that there was a male equivalent. We'll call him Bro Beefcake. Bro played a little in college, never much of a star, but is nowhere near PGA level golf. But he has six pack abs and records these EDGY rap videos, he's got tats, man! and the kidz just love him. He has more subscribers to his Instagram than Rory or Spieth!
Now imagine that instead of putting Spieth or Rory on the cover of Golf Digest (like, imagine they NEVER put those guys on there) they put Mr. Beefcake up there. And call him the future of golf. And talk about how he is bringing all these fans to the game with zero evidence that this is true.
Yeah, that would be seriously messed up. Anyone would rightly see GD as a rag if they did that.

PS - would they put a player not even in the top 1000 on the cover of Tennis magazine? I doubt it.

I have a pile of junk on my kitchen counter that I need to clean up. It includes the Dec. 2014 GD issue which someone gave me...yikes, Johnny Manziel is on the cover.   In big letters, it says JOHNNY GOLF. In smaller letters it says MANZIEL LEADS GOLFERS WHO GIVE BACK.  I'll be nice and not think of an endless stream jokes about this. |
