"But at least I don't look like an idiot out there"
/Cat fight alert!
I must have been distracted by meaningless tweets about iphones found in pubs, because I usually revel in Christina Kim's admonishments of her nutty followers. But as John Strege documents, this time the heckler was fellow LPGAer Angela Stanford, who opened play against Kim in last week's points-match format event. Strege writes:
On Thursday evening, Stanford posted this on Twitter:
"I would like to take this opp to thank my parents for raising me to respect the game...I may get criticized for not showing enough emotion"
"Or not smiling enough but at least I don't disrespect the game or the ppl I'm playing against"
"But at least I don't look like an idiot out there"
Later on Thursday night, Kim posted this on Twitter:
"My apologies, I had a sit down with @Angela_Stanford and KMack I showed a lack of respect twice to KMack-which was uncalled for My apologies"
Strege notes:
The game needs more characters, of which Kim assuredly is one. At times, though, Kim seems to descend into histrionics that move her precariously close to caricature (see the Solheim Cup).
To her credit, she apologized in one Tweet, then followed with another, addressed to McPherson and Brittany Lincicome: "Thank you for helping me be a better golfer and human being!"
