Tweeting Golfers: TweetChat with LPGA’s Christina Kim
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.
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.
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):
BTsports @thechristinakim We love your tweets…dig the sushi platter pic! We’d like to ask you a few questions about Twitter. Do you mind? TheChristinaKim @BTsports sure thing, not at all!!! Let’s throw down!! BTsports @thechristinakim Awesome. Your commish came out and said she would “love it” if players tweeted during rounds. Have you? TheChristinaKim @BTsports lol, no I am just tweeting about what is in front of me and at the front of my mind. I just tweet about what is important to me,
BTsports @thechristinakim One moment you are tweeting about clubs, the next about a new camera, then a charity event. Are you reaching more fans?
