New Ladies European Tour member Christina Kim couldn’t hide her excitement about her new book, due for release on 13th April 2010, during a pre tournament interview at the Handa Women’s Australian Open.
With the help of journalist Alan Shipnuck, Kim has penned a memoir about life on the women’s circuit called, “Swinging from My Heels: Confessions of an LPGA Star.”
She explained: “A friend of mine who is a senior writer for Sports Illustrated who wrote (inaudible) Blood, Sweat and Tees. He approached me in October 2008 and said, 'Hey now, what about writing a book about what it is like inside the ropes for an LPGA Tour player and I think you would be a great person to write about.' Basically I just logged my entire 2009 season and put it on paper.”
Although she would not reveal any of the content, as she is hoping to drive sales by keeping quiet on that front, she did say: “There are some phobias about things that people think are out there on the Tour, various sexualities, what life is like, what you talk about. Some people may think we are talking about one thing, and we're not. It is not just myself. There are other players as well...There is nothing written that is negative. I am not a negative person. I don't have time in my life to write about the crap that goes on out there. It is funny and you'll have a good laugh reading it.”
She added that it will be available to buy on Amazon.
