Paige Spiranac isn’t the only female golfer shaking up the sport’s “traditional” elements.
Enter “sock girl” Isabelle Shee, a golf social media influencer who, like Spiranac, is known for straying away from conservative dress wear, opting to express herself via knee-high apparel.
“I definitely am a more controversial golf figure as I don’t stick to the traditional wardrobe,” Shee told The Sun. “I have been stared at, kicked out of country clubs for and chastised for wearing shorter skirts and long socks.”
With over 129,000 followers and counting, Shee is focused on her latest endeavor, Inside Story, an eco-friendly lifestyle brand that currently provides a free face mask with every order amid the coronavirus crisis.
“For me, I love socks because in a world where it can be a bit conservative, such as at work or the golf course, socks can be one of the only accessories that can show a bit of flare and personality,” she told the outlet.
Though Shee grappled with burnout over concerns about her future, the 25-year-old is not only proud of the path she’s forged for herself but grateful fo Sprianac for paving the way.
“I am very thankful for some golf figures who are changing the game, such as Paige Spiranac and Tisha Abrea,” Shee said. “These women show a fun side of golf and in my opinion, are truly growing the game by encouraging non-golfers to join this magnificent game.”
In March, Spiranac spoke out about backlash she had received in regard to her wardrobe.
“I’m not refined, I’m raw and real and I wear what I want and I have always been so different and golf is not that way,” she said on her “Playing a Round” podcast.
