I think she does more harm than good, will young girls/ladies think they’ve got to have a body and looks like her or Carly to be successful, as thats all you see more of across the media rather than the real true lady ‘golfers’ right at the top who look more like overweight Rottweilers chewing a lemon sherbet!
Such a good point. We have a 13yr lass who has great potential and has been selected for the England Under-16 Girls Squad. She is now going through that phase of life that all girls go through - doubting themselves and their looks, stroppy and grumpy at times etc. She is working very hard on her game - but what might she think if she looks at Paige Spirinac and the success she has had - and asks why - and whether she should work so hard if Spirinac gets where she is - basically on the back of her looks. And how might our lass compare herself with Spirinac. I am not saying she is or will - because she seems very focussed snf driven - but who knows how young girls minds work.
