Paige Spiranac and 'Happy Days' Actor Scott Baio Get Into Strange Online Beef
Paige Spiranac has made a name for himself as a golf influencer and content creator, but her presence online isn't for everyone. One person who seemingly isn't impressed by her is Happy Days actor Scott Baio.
According to The New York Post, a video online mistakenly identified a blonde woman in tight clothes on a golf course as Spiranac herself. The since-deleted post seemingly struck a nerve with Baio, whose golfer daughter was caught in the line of fire.
When Spiranac got wind of Baio's misplaced disappointment with her, she took it all in stride. "Add Scott Baio to the list of people I never thought I would have beef with. What a world," she wrote on social media.

The actor was quick with his response in trying to clean up the mess.
"My apologies," he said. “Someone posted a video saying it was you and attempted to drag my minor daughter (a junior golfer) and I defended myself. I apologize as I don’t know you or the other woman from the video. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong."

Spiranac and Baio quickly squashed their beef, and Spiranac even offered her services to Baio and his daughter if they were interested.
"I appreciate your apology. I understand how protective you must feel of your daughter," the SI Swimsuit model said. "I played junior golf at a high level, in college, and as well [as] pro for a little. If your daughter ever needs any golf advice, let me know! I learned a lot throughout my golf career, especially during the recruiting process for college. Always happy to help!" Baio, for his part, was grateful for the offer amid his protective response to critics.

Maybe Spiranac has a future as a golf instructor as well as an influencer.
