We know Lance, Shaq and T.O. are tweeting. What about Christina Kim?

In light of recent news that the LPGA is encouraging their players to tweet during rounds, no professional sport has more of their own embracing the technology.

And no athlete is embracing Twitter like Christina Kim.

professional golfer and Uber Twitterer Christina Kim

Ranked 41st in the LPGA, Kim has two career victories and has earned over $3 million in 7 seasons on tour. Not bad. But Christina has more interests beyond sand traps and pitching wedges. How do I know? Just subscribe to her Twitter feed @thechristinakim. It’s a potpourri of random thoughts, engaging outburts, and photos of her and her friends in goofy poses.

who says golfers can't have fun?

I tracked down the frenetic Kim at dinner Thursday night and we had a brief tweet chat (which she squeezed in between 6 or 7 other tweet-versations):
