‘Picking Up Dog Sh-t’: Nelly Korda’s Older Sister Jessica Offers Life Update While Comeback Date Remains Unknown

For professional athletes, social media often paints a picture of a life filled with rigorous training, glamorous tournaments, and constant preparation for the next big event. But as Jessica Korda hilariously reminded us, reality isn’t always that polished. The six-time LPGA Tour winner has been away from competitive golf since May 2023, stepping back due to a lingering back injury. While fans eagerly await her comeback, Jessica is spending her time focusing on recovery, family, and her beloved Goldendoodle dog, Charlie. And as it turns out, that “recovery period” isn’t all about training—it also involves some, let’s say, less glamorous responsibilities.

Korda recently gave fans a brutally honest (and hilarious) look into her day-to-day life. “This is definitely a reality versus Instagram reality, or whatever these kids are calling it these days,” she said in her Instagram story. “Because you guys think that I’m out playing golf, but that was literally like 45 minutes of today, and now I’m just outside picking up dog sh-t.”

That’s right—while people might assume she’s spending hours on the course fine-tuning her game, the reality is that, at least for now, her biggest opponent is Charlie’s mess. That said, golf is still very much in the picture. Just recently, she shared a video of herself taking a swing, captioning it: “One swing at a time, There’s no need to rush..It’s like learning to fly… Or falling in love”
