Popular golf influencer Paige Spiranac is back with another handy YouTube video for all the golf lovers out there. Now that she’s completed her “Beginner’s Guide to Starting Golf” series, she’s tackling something a little more fun: golf games.
The timing of this is pretty good considering that Tiger Woods and Rory McIroy’s new TGL is basically one gigantic golf simulator. Paige Spiranac, on the other hand, will be sharing some games you can actually play out in the real world.
“These are the best games to play with friends out on the golf course when you want mix things up!” Spiranac says in the video’s description. “Not only are they really fun, but they can also improve your golf game in so many ways.”
The five games she shared, and demonstrates, are (1) Partner Picks, (2) Play from the Front Tees, (3) Putting Drawbacks, (4) Worst Ball, and (5) Three Club Challenge.
The first game, Partner Picks, Paige Spiranac explains is, “mostly when I’m doing match play and if you lose the hole then your competitor gets to pick the clubs that you’ve got to play with for that hole.”
The Play from the Front Tees games is pretty self-explanatory, but, as she explains, “this is such an important game for so many reasons. Mostly because people are afraid to move forward. And you get more comfortable playing from a front tee box, which will make golf more fun. You’ll play faster and you will make a ton of birdies. Well, you should. And so it gives you confidence with going lower, shooting scores that you have never shot before, and once you start doing that and feeling comfortable here, you can move back to different tee boxes.”
The Putting Drawbacks game is after you miss a putt “what you have to do is draw it back a full putter length and now this is your second putt. It is so hard and so much fun.”
Spiranac then explains the Worst Ball game, which she calls one of her favorite games of all time. “What you need is two golf balls,” she explains. “What you’re going to do is you’re going to hit both golf balls the entire way either through a round, nine holes, one hole whatever, you want to do, and then you play the worst ball. This gets you comfortable hitting some crazy shots.”
And finally, the Three Club Challenge game, which again, is pretty self-explanatory. “It really forces you outside of your comfort zone,” she said, adding that she usually chooses a three-wood, an eight-iron, and a wedge, and then explains her reasoning.
In addition to the golf games video, Paige Spiranac also recently shared another video where she, as she puts it, spills a little tea and sharing some insights she hasn’t shared before.
