The 30-year-old has offered pointed words of advice to her imitators
In the wake of Paige’s success, she has been followed by the likes of Grace Charis, Waiyi Chan and Lauren Pacheco in the golf influencer space.
During an Instagram Q&A, Paige was asked about what she makes of “copycat golf girls”.
She did initially admit her pride at inspiring others… before offering pointed words of advice.
Paige said: “They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery, so I am proud to be an inspiration for all these women.
“They’ve seen me be successful and they know if they copy exactly what I’m doing or follow in my footsteps in the exact path that I have created and built for myself, that they will also be successful, we have seen that.
“So I mean that’s pretty cool and shows how powerful my brand has been that if they do copy everything then they will also be successful.
“I will say that I do value creativity and I wish that it wasn’t copied exactly from like the exact outfit, to my how I do my hair, to the captions, to how it’s shot.
“It would be nice if there was at least a little bit of a difference and I think it would actually be beneficial for them to be different – not to be exactly, exactly, exactly the same.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make golf a good sport?
Golf is not a bad thing. In fact, it’s very healthy. Studies show that people who play golf live longer than those who do not. Golfers are also less stressed, which makes them happier.
Do I really need to be a member of a golf course in order to play golf?
You do not need to have a membership at the course. However, you will be able to use all the facilities, including driving ranges, putting areas, and locker rooms.
What’s the average score for a golfer?
The average golfer shoots around 80-85 yards with their driver.
Which is the most important shot of golf?
The putt is the most important shot for any golfer. It takes so much skill and precision to hit the ball correctly, that you are likely to lose the hole (and the game).
Is it possible to be better by watching pros play?
Watching pro players play makes you better at video games. You can improve your game by studying how other players play, and learning from their mistakes. Being inspired by the best players can help you become a better player.
How do I improve my golf score?
These simple tips can make it easy to improve your golf game.
- Practice more, play less. Practice more if you want to improve at something. Exercising too often can lead to poor habits.
- You should play when you feel good. There are days when you just don’t feel like playing. Don’t force yourself into doing things you don’t enjoy. Instead, find ways to make golf enjoyable again.
- Take breaks. Golfers like to take breaks during rounds to stretch, walk around, have lunch or just relax. Taking breaks can help your body relax and keep you focused throughout the round.
- Drink water! It is easy to forget how many drinks you have consumed while on the course. You should drink enough water to avoid becoming dehydrated. Drinking plenty of water before, during, and after your game will help keep you feeling refreshed and ready to hit those greens.
- Make sure you eat right. Consuming healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and low-fat milk products will give you energy to help you do well on your course.
- Stay hydrated. The best way to stay hydrated is to drink lots of water. You should try drinking at least eight glasses of water per day. This includes plain water as well as water made from coffee or other beverages.
- You should warm up properly. Warm up for five minutes by walking, jogging or running before hitting your first shot. Focus on becoming loose and limber.
- Keep your head down. Keep your head down when you tee off. You should not be looking at the ball, or where it lands. Instead, keep your eyes on the hole.
- Correct form is important when you are trying to move. Proper form could mean different things for different people. However, it is important to not swing through the target. You should instead aim to hit the ball in the middle of the club face.
- Concentrate on the process. While there are several factors that contribute to a successful golf swing, focusing on the process will help you develop the most effective technique. To put it another way, if your hands are not still, you can try relaxing your grip. Focus on good posture, if you find it difficult to balance.

How To
How can I improve my golf game at home
You can practice from anywhere at any time!
Any kind of equipment is possible, from a simple putter up to a complete set. There are many online options for training your golf skills, such as swing analyzers, putting trainers, and virtual reality systems.
You can improve your golf game at the office by practicing regularly. Finding a local course close to where you live and work is the best way to do so. This lets you practice when you want, without the need to wait for a partner or wait until you return home.
Practice makes perfect. If you don’t play enough, practice once a week, or every two. If you play often, consider playing twice a week or once a monthly. It doesn’t matter how often you practice; just make sure to keep practicing.
You should ensure that the new club fits properly before you purchase it. Unfitting clubs can cause injury or damage to your favorite club. You should always read customer reviews before purchasing any item. Consider what size grip you prefer.
Be sure to warm up before hitting your ball. At first, it might be difficult to know how much force should you apply when swinging the club. Warming up is a great way to learn how strong your ball needs to be to travel certain distances.
