Spiranac is never afraid of putting forward her opinion about anything. And believe it or not, her fans agree with most of the things she has to say. Spiranac recently posted a video where she discussed various rules in different sports that she finds “dumb”. However, there was only one thing that she pointed out about her favorite sport – golf.

The Tour Championship is about to start, and Spiranac has something to say before it begins. She pointed out that “they do a handicap scoring system which I despise”. A handicap is a number between zero and 28 and it indicates the ideal number of strokes one should score over par on a neutral course. The championship has been following the system for some time, but Spiranac is not in its favor.

According to Spiranac, “it diminishes the value of the tournament”. The ex-professional golfer also gave an imaginary situation where the golfer stripes the ball, but finds it in the divot. She said, “this is dumb must change the rule”

Is there another rule that Spiranac wants to change?

The Handicap system is not all that Spiranac expects to change on the course. Spiranac once tweeted about another rule that needs to be added in professional golf. She wrote, “You should get a free drop if your ball lands in a fairway divot”. A divot is generally referred to as a mark in the grass that is made as a result when players hit a shot. It often affects the game of the players who tee off after their partner.

Spiranac’s solutions for the problems faced by professional golfers appear to come from personal experience as well. However, the social media sensation quit her golfing career a long time ago and is working hard to grow her social media profiles.
