And in an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, Grace has revealed she only took up golf after her mom encouraged her to play the sport.
“I actually didn’t start playing golf until college,” Grace said.
“It wasn’t until my mom encouraged me to give it a try that I even considered playing.
“I had always been into sports growing up, but golf was never on my radar.
“But after giving it a shot, I quickly fell in love with the game.
“It was a steep learning curve, but with the support of my family and coaches I was able to improve and achieve some success on the course.”
Thanks to her revealing outfits and sensational figure, Grace has attracted 2.9million followers on TikTok and a further 1.1million on Instagram.
Grace also has 470,000 followers on Twitter, while her YouTube channel has 645,000 subscribers.
She also has an OnlyFans channel for more adult content.
“Even though I didn’t grow up playing golf like many of my peers, I’ve come to appreciate the sport and the many opportunities it has brought me both as a player and as an influencer,” she says.
Grace currently has a handicap of 12 and dreams one day of turning professional.
“My ultimate goal is to play professionally and compete at the highest level,” Grace adds.
In recent years, the female golf influencer space has become ever more competitive and crowded.
As well as Spirinac, who is arguably the queen of golf influencers, other social media stars in this field include Karin Hart, Katie Sigmond, and Elise Lobb Dzingel, among others.
But Grace is confident she can maintain her position as a leading golf influencer thanks to her top-class content-making and business strategy.
“Monetizing it can be difficult at times, but I think it’s all about building a strong brand and establishing yourself as an authority in the industry,” she says.
“My strategy has been to create high-quality content that resonates with my audience and partner with brands that align with my values.
“The world of golf influencers, in general, is becoming more crowded, but I think there’s still plenty of room for new voices and perspectives.
“I try to focus on creating unique and authentic content that sets me apart from the rest.”
Beyond growing her game and her business empire, Grace ultimately hopes to inspire more girls and women to get into the sport.
“While I am grateful for the opportunities and income that come with being a golfer and influencer, I believe that success is about more than just financial gain,” she adds.
“For me, it’s about setting and achieving personal goals, inspiring others, and leaving a positive impact on the sport and the world.
“I love being able to share my love for the game with others and inspire more girls and women to get into golf.”
