Screencaps, which publishes seven-days-a-week, is a mix of sports, pop culture, and emails from sane readers from around the world. This column isn&#8217;t for the coastal elites. Give us a week to steal your heart. Our track record is pretty good. Let&#8217;s have some fun.<\/p>\n<p>In case you haven&#8217;t noticed, American amateur golf has a full integrity issue<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\" class=\"speakable\">Case in point, watch what happens when Paige Spiranac, the world&#8217;s No. 1 ranked golf influencer, as named by OutKick, and her playing partner face what looks like a knock-in and move on putt. Paige, who used to play in professional tournaments, pushes the putt only to be one-upped by her partner who pulls her putt to the left.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Are they just doing this for YouTube so men will keep watching? Could be. Here&#8217;s the problem: We have an integrity issue in this country when it comes to golfers claiming to be better than they are. Golfers are calling four-footers gimme range.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/paige-spiranac-truist-championship-2026.jpg\" alt=\"Paige Spiranac swings a golf club during the Pro-Am event at Quail Hollow Country Club.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>Paige Spiranac is in action during the Pro-Am event before the Truist Championship 2026 at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 6, 2026, in Charlotte, N.C.

In case you can&#8217;t visualize a 3-foot putt, we&#8217;re talking the length of a guitar, or a youth baseball bat.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">But, wait, you&#8217;re a 5 handicap. A 3- to 6-footer is simple for your golf game. You&#8217;re automatic. No, you aren&#8217;t.

I can see them internally contemplating why they&#8217;re even on the same course with me. And then I see these guys duffing tee shots, not counting it as a stroke, kicking balls out from behind trees, fluffing balls in the rough, calling 3 1\/2 footers good and magically shooting 82.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Did you hear about the <a data-omtr-intcmp=\"fnc_outkick-sports_article_main-content_article-body_6_150951\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/tony-romo-disqualified-korn-ferry-qualifier-parted-ways-cbs-sports\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Tony Romo incident<\/a> where he signed a scorecard where he might&#8217;ve been shaving strokes?
