Golf and media personality Paige Spiranac has lashed out at the culture in golf, calling the sport “elitist, stuffy, and exclusive” — reasons why she feels she has never been welcomed into the game.
This caught the attention of the The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers at Muirfield Golf Club and its Secretary, Colonel Rupert Teasdale. “Damn shame the way that girl’s been treated by golf in the States,” said Teasdale. “Our members were outraged … outraged, I say! So we gathered the entire lot at dinner (see photo below) and it was unanimous to extend a membership invitation to Miss Spiranac.
“We are breathlessly awaiting her response. I must say, it would be jolly good fun to have her place cardiac resuscitation paddles on us and yell, ‘Clear!’”
