Paige Spiranac is all about positivity in her personal life, but her golf skills tell a slightly different tale.
On the latest episode of the “Vanity Index” podcast, she reminisced about an eventful golf outing at the Genesis Invitational, where she teamed up with Nick Jonas.
“At Genesis, they created a celebrity Ryder Cup, and my partner was Nick Jonas,” Spiranac shared with hosts Chad Momm and Wells Adams.
She recounted facing off against Chris Pratt, adding with a chuckle, “He played really slow. Maybe the slowest golfer I’ve ever encountered. Super nice guy, but definitely took his time.”
Spiranac, 32, noted that Pratt, 45, shared some fascinating stories, captivating everyone around him, even if his pace on the course lagged.
“We thought to ourselves, ‘I’ve hit a golf ball now,'” she recalled.
When the episode aired, she provided some context about her game with Pratt. “It took me over three and a half hours to play just nine holes,” she mentioned on the podcast’s Instagram.
During the discussion, Spiranac, who has 5 million followers on her social media profiles, revealed one of the most notable celebrities she’s played golf with.
“Outside of professional golfers, it was pretty cool because I got to play with Mark Wahlberg, Justin Timberlake, and Gary Player,” she said.
Adding to her roster of celebrity golfing partners, she also shared her experience with Adam Sandler from “Happy Gilmore.”
Spiranac will be featured in the upcoming sequel to the iconic 1996 film, playing a role at a Dick’s Sporting Goods store.
“Honestly, being in Happy Gilmore 2 is surreal,” she tweeted when the trailer dropped in March.
The sequel will also include Rory McIlroy, Scotty Scheffler, and Travis Kelce, and is set to premiere on Netflix on July 25th.
