Changing Paths
She was 12 years old when her twice-broken kneecap ruined her hopes of becoming an Olympic gymnast. After so much preparation, we are sure it wasn’t that easy for her to change her dream.
Changing Paths
Bullied
There has been another factor in her course of action. Unfortunately, while Paige was still undergoing gymnastic lessons, she became the victim of bullies. It is truly an awful phenomenon that so often appears to be happening to anyone.

Isolation
Paige turned to golf instead at the age of 12. Due to her past experience with the other gymnasts, she has taken refuge and shelter from this new sport. We’re glad things worked out for her!
Isolation
Home School
The young girl divided her time between two places in those days: the Monument, Colorado and Scottsdale, Arizona. Other than this, she attended school at home as the curriculum gave her more time to practice.

A Swing At Tennis

Points Docked
Paige had once been to a Dubai golf tournament when things have gone south very quickly. During swings, the social media superstar checked her phone, and the judges noticed. They deducted her score by a few points, which is why she didn’t meet the criteria for the following round.

Twitter Gal
Paige is also active on Twitter; she posted online this entertaining tweet not long ago, “Idk if you heard, but I have a podcast. A golf podcast from a girl who’s known for only showing cleavage on the gram…it’s an uphill battle. So yeah, please listen. I’d very much appreciate that!”

Camera Shy
CyberSmile
Paige works with anti-bullying organizations like CyberSmile, thanks to her massive social media following. To gain support for the cause, the golfer speaks out about low self-esteem and bullying. She speaks honestly about her childhood experience with the hope that at least one child will now be able to stand up to his or her bully.

Golf Digest Contract
Golf Digest finally offered Paige a contract, but not because of her golfing skill. They didn’t care about never her winning anything in the LPGA tournament. Instead, they cared about her appearance!
