Golf influencer Paige Spiranac recently experienced a public and unexpectedly detailed interaction with a stranger, leading to widespread online commentary and highlighting her characteristic outspokenness. The incident, unfolding during an evening stroll, revealed a frustrating encounter with a dog owner and culminated in Spiranac’s call for “jail time.”
Spiranac shared her experience via Twitter, recounting how she observed a woman failing to collect her dogs’ waste from a public walkway. After politely requesting a bag from the woman – noting the availability of free bags nearby – she received a dismissive response, including a demonstration of an empty waste bag. When pressed about using the bag to clean up, the woman reportedly stared at her before walking away. Spiranac’s subsequent tweet demanded “jail time” for the individual.
The episode triggered immediate reactions within her fanbase. Many expressed shock and outrage at the woman’s behavior, while simultaneously applauding Spiranac’s initial attempt to assist and her subsequent forceful response. Comments flooded in, reflecting a shared frustration with inconsiderate behavior and suggesting measures like following the woman home to leave the bag on her porch.
“I watched this woman not pick up her dogs poop in the middle of the walkway tonight so I went up to her and asked nicely if she needed a bag since there were free bags close and I could grab it for her. She said no, then proceeded to show me the empty bag. When I asked if she’s going to use it to pick up her dogs she looked me dead in the eyes and said “nope” then walked away. Jail time.” – Paige Spiranac (Twitter)
The incident underscores Spiranac’s tendency to openly share her experiences, a practice that has garnered both support and criticism within the golf community. Her prior revelation of shanking two shots a few weeks earlier – accompanied by her frustration with “cold, hard shanks” – demonstrated a willingness to transparently discuss her challenges, eliciting sympathetic responses from her followers.
“I hit two cold, hard shanks today. Not one but two. Special stuff.” – Paige Spiranac (Twitter)
Spiranac’s engagement with the dog owner incident further illustrates her direct and unfiltered approach to social media. While the encounter provided a memorable and somewhat dramatic moment, it highlights a recurring theme in Spiranac’s online presence – a willingness to share both successes and setbacks, solidifying her position as a prominent and engaging figure within the golf landscape.
