Paige Spiranac couldn’t care less about the “golf snobs” questioning the authenticity of her recent hole-in-one.
The 30-year-old golf influencer fired back at those that claimed her ace was fake after she successfully completed a challenge with JetFuel Energy to sink a hole-in-one in 50 tries.
“A bunch of comments calling my hole in one fake,” Spiranac wrote in a post on X Thursday, which included a clip of her celebrating the shot. “It’s real and spectacular.
“But jokes aside anyone in the golf industry knows our careers would be over if we ever faked a hole in one video.
“No one would ever be dumb enough to risk that. We take pride in showing genuine reactions. The good and bad.”
Spiranac — a one-time Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model — made the hole-in-one on her 48th attempt on a shot that was 100 yards downhill.

“Golf snobs – ‘She can’t play,’” Spiranac wrote on X, referring to some reactions from internet trolls. “*Makes hole in one on camera*.”
When another X user wrote, “Kind of skeptical, but you don’t have a videographer on the green videotaping you hitting the ball, the ball landing and then the ball going in,” Spiranac provided the “full footage” from the hole.
“It was a hole in one challenge,” she replied. “We had one videographer on the tee and one by the green.”
Spiranac said it was her fifth hole-in-one and second on camera.
“As soon as I hit it I thought it was good,” she said in the video. “… It came down to the absolute wire.”

Spiranac said she brought golf instructor Gavin Parker for “moral support” on the course, and thanked him for “being my good luck charm.”
The former MAXIM cover star credited her routine for helping her sink the hole-in-one.
“It was the routine, that’s all that mattered,” she said before running to the grab her golf ball.
“I held her accountable to her routine,” Parker said. “… You can’t control a lot in golf but what you can control is your routine, your focus, [and] your preparation.”
Spiranac, a former college golfer, said she previously failed to make a hole-in-one with 25 tries during a separate challenge.
