Was Paulina Gretzky a natural at Golf?
In 2014, Paulina Gretzky appeared in an exclusive interview with Craig Bestrom for Golf digest. Paulina spoke about how she wasn’t a fan of the sport when she was a kid. However, as time passed and she spent more time on the course, she gradually fell for its charm. Although she still doesn’t play the sport herself, she finds joy in watching her husband play.
Talking about the sport, Paulina Gretzky said that it is something one needs to learn and doesn’t come naturally. She said, “Golf isn’t something that comes naturally. It’s like when Dustin asks me to go fishing. I’ve never been taught how to fish. I don’t know what I’m doing, and I don’t want to look dumb. It’s the same with golf. People think they’re going to look dumb.”
