PAIGE SPIRANAC fans blamed her off-putting outfit as they lost their grip on her golf tutorial.
The ex-pro golfer donned a swimsuit for her video lesson on the short game and explained: “It’s not the size of your grip that matters, it’s how you use it.”

The ex-golf pro has 3.8million followers on Instagram and 838,000 on Twitter
Many followers admitted they were too “distracted” to focus on her putting tips.
And when one troll complained it was “sickening. Lingerie doing golf lessons” she didn’t let it get undie her skin.
Instead she fired back with “I know you’ve never seen it in person but that’s not lingerie. This is” – along with a snap of herself in scarlet underwear.
The American, 30, talked her fans through the two main ways of holding a club – the “traditional” grip and “left-hand low”.
She said: “Those are the most popular grips. If it still feels uncomfortable to you. check your grip size.
“Some people like a smaller or a thicker grip. It’s all personal preference.
“Remember it’s not the size of your grip that matters, it’s how you use it.
“I think that’s how the saying goes…”
But followers complained – if that’s the right word – of being unable to focus on her wise words.
One confessed: “Golf is not my first thoughts.”
Another posted: “Sorry @PaigeSpiranac. Could you repeat that I was a little distracted! “
A third admitted: “All I heard was the sound of my drooling… What was the lesson here?”
One fan said: “Thank you, I learned a lot from this” and added, perhaps optimistically: Do you do private lessons?”
Another enthusiast insisted he was keen to turn what he saw into practice.
He wrote: “This helped a lot thank you can’t wait to try it out at the golf course .”
Most of the admiring comments might be judged on the right side of slicing into the rough stuff.
But when Paige believed one shot veered too far off the other way, she gave it the full treatment.
The golf fan, who sounds like part of the sporting establishment Paige often rails at, wrote: “This is sickening.
“Lingerie doing golf lessons. Anyone who pays for this is as bad as she is. Sickening.”
Paige responded by giving him an undressing down – with a lingerie photo that quickly drew hundreds of likes.
You might say he was schooled by the tutor.

How To
How can I improve my putting skills?
There are many ways to improve your puttering skills. It is important to get quality instruction from someone who knows the ropes. Our article will help you find the right golf instructor for you if you don’t already know one. Once you’ve found someone that you like, make sure to ask if they offer private lessons. Make sure to examine their schedule so that you don’t accidentally book something that isn’t compatible with another lesson.
You can rent clubs from a pro shop if you are looking for a place to play golf.
Once you have received some instruction, it is time to begin practicing. There are two methods to do this. The first is to buy some putters and start practicing hitting the balls into the holes. You can choose from different types of putters, such as long irons, mid irons and wedges, depending on the type of shot you are most comfortable with. It is important to practice enough to be proficient in putting without spending a lot on equipment.
Online mini-games are another way to practice. Some websites allow you to compete against other players worldwide, while others let you practice your skills. There are many websites that allow you to play Putt-Putt. This is where you hit a ball into holes. TopGolf is another site, as well as StrokePlay or Wii Sports Club.
Once you’ve practiced enough, you can move onto the next phase of improving your putting game. The next step would be to improve your technique. This will require you to improve your technique in three areas: grip, alignment, and stance.
Stance is how far back you are when you face the ball. Beginners often make the common mistake of standing too close to a ball. When you address the ball, you want to keep your body away from the ball until you begin moving forward. Your feet should not be more than shoulder width apart.
Your hands should be open and relaxed. You should not hold on to anything or clench your fists. Instead, place your hands over your shoulders.
Your arms should be straight, but not locked down. They should remain loose throughout the entire stroke of putting.
Alignment describes how your hips turn as you swing through the shot. Most people rotate their hips too much, making it difficult to align properly. Your knees will bend slightly when you face the shot. As you swing through your shot, your hips will point toward the target.
Grip refers simply to the way your fingers position themselves on the clubface. Many people have problems gripping the clubs correctly. Your index finger should touch the bottom edge of your putt while your middle finger touches the top. Your ring should be placed on one side of the shaft. Your pinky finger should not be over the handle.
You might also consider purchasing a new putter. A new model might help your game, even though all putters don’t work the same.
