Paige Spiranac names A-list celebrity as the ‘slowest golfer’ she’s ever played with

By ERIC BLUM

Paige Spiranac has name-dropped A-list actor Chris Pratt as the ‘slowest golfer’ the social-media influencer has ever played with.

Spiranac has rubbed elbows with some huge names over the years including Justin Timberlake, Gary Player, and Mark Wahlberg. 

The golfer also has a constant presence at big golf events, including at last week’s PGA Championship in North Carolina. 

Pratt is most famous for playing Star-Lord in the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ film series, as well as roles in ‘Parks & Recreation’ and in the ‘Jurassic World’ franchise.  

‘At Genesis, they did a celebrity Ryder Cup. My partner was Nick Jonas and we played against … Chris Pratt. He was very slow,” Spiranac said on ‘Vanity Index’. ‘Might be the slowest golfer I’ve ever played with. Super nice guy, unbelievably slow.’ 

‘We were like four holes behind on a nine-hole little thing. And they were like, “You need to speed it up.” He had all these people around him, and he’d tell like these amazing stories. And we were like, “Hit the golf ball.”‘

Last year, Pratt played in a pro-am event alongside Peyton Manning and Rory McIlroy. It is unclear what speed he played at then, or if it was a slow pace, whether it bothered the current Masters champion and one of the best quarterbacks of all-time. 

Pratt is currently under a microscope as the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in production, in a massive team-up movie called ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, with his involvement not confirmed, but speculated.

Spiranac is one of golf’s leading influencers, with more than 4million followers on Instagram alone. 

Spiranac also recently revealed her childhood friendship with Wyndham Clark on the latest season of Netflix’s ‘Full Swing’.

She interviewed Clark during the series and spoke on their time growing up, chasing their golf dreams, with both now famous faces on the links.

‘So I remember Wyndham when he was this tall,’ Spiranac said, referencing a child’s height. ‘Full of braces. Most people don’t know this, we’re both from Colorado. We grew up playing junior golf together, and now we’re here.’  

‘He was always going to be one of the best. Now he has to deal with all the pressure of people looking at him and having to compete week in, week out and being one of the top guys.’
