3/3 tournaments in Michigan ✅

June 23, 2025

So many positives to take away from this week, and so many lessons too. Had a great -5 round the first day and was in the lead of a pro golf tournament for the first time! This was soooo exciting. Then we were dealing with rain delays, tee time uncertainties, and crazy winds. But as someone who hasn't been regularly in contention the last few years, I tried my best to pull from my experience 2 weeks ago when I was 2 back going into the last day. I remember how in the final round, I had played too hesitantly on the front nine because I didn't want to 'mess up, and how that actually held me back when I did my self-reflection after the round. So, for this event, I made sure I played confident, committed golf no matter where I was on the leaderboard. I ended up shooting E and E the 2nd and 3rd day to finish T-21st. Obviously, this wasn't the 'perfect' result I wanted, but I'm still proud of myself for sticking to my mental goals. Last summer, my best finish was T-22, playing the best golf | felt like I could have played at the time. Last year, at this event, I finally made my first cut as a pro. This week, I got my top 25 knowing there were easily shots left out there and fighting for a top spot. I am so excited to continue to learn, improve, and grow. Alright, onto the next. Last event of this stretch up next → Columbus, IN 🌳

Pro golf isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

And my first week as part of team @drinkag1!!! coincidence? Probably not. During the two-week break from #tourlife, I really prioritized taking care of my body and prepping for this Midwest swing. That meant light workouts, rest, and filling in any nutrient gaps with @drinkag1 to support my gut health and recovery. This week was my best finish ever as a pro golfer and it’s just the beginning guys! The swing and game work from the off-season is finally showing up. NSF Certified for Sport, AG1 has officially become my morning ritual and I’m excited to keep it going through the next 3-week stretch. Special thanks to my caddy J.K. (@jkegg59), Dan & Addi (@addiradcliff, @daniel_urban_jr), and the @glcc_golfshop members for all the support and kindness this week! Couldn’t have done it without you guys! #teamChristine 🫶 Next up —> Harbor Springs, MI 🌲

We're here!

13 hrs, 3 airports, and a 2 hour drive later, we've arrived in Michigan for my next @epsontour tournament! Wish me good luck the next 4 weeks ✨💖

Weekend getaway to Pinehurst! 💫🤩

June 1, 2025

After a long four-week stretch on tour, I have a little break before the next swing - and I got the opportunity to meet up with the ladies at @golfgirlgames_for some filming! Okay yes, this wasn't my first time filming YouTube golf (that was when I got my LPGA exemption 02), but this was the first time l've ever taken a trip specifically for YouTube content creation! PRO GOLF DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BORING GOLF!!! I'm so excited for you guys to see these videos coming out soon! We got the exclusive chance to play the new @pinehurstresort course, No. 10, and it was a real treat! We also played a round at @talamoregolfresort, where you'll find both amazing greens and llamas! These two weeks off have been so much fun, but l'll be back swinging it on tour next week in Battle Creek, Michigan!

Tourney Update: Week 1

May 20, 2025

My Wildest Tournament Start Yet Four weeks, five cities, and countless miles later, I’m finally back in my apartment in LA—just for a day. But before I get into the rest of the tour swing, I want to pause and share a story I’ll never forget: my first Epson tournament this year at Morongo Golf Club in Beaumont, California. To put it simply: I wasn’t supposed to be in this event. Going into the week, I was #7 on the reserve list. For context, being a reserve means you’re on-site and waiting—hoping—that someone in the official field drops out. Most people told me it wasn’t going to happen. The odds weren’t in my favor. Still, I couldn’t give up on the chance. So I made the 4.5-hour round trip from Palos Verdes to Beaumont two days in a row, Tuesday and Wednesday, unsure whether I’d even get a chance to compete. I didn’t want to book a hotel and burn money I might need for future events if I didn’t end up playing. Fortunately, my former teammate and close friend, Amari Avery, let me crash at her place Thursday night—just in case. Friday morning came. I showed up 30 minutes before the first tee time and waited. And waited. I had just texted my mom: “I don’t think anyone’s going to drop out.” Seconds later, my phone rang. It was the LPGA official: “You’re in.” I was in shock. People told me later that they’d never seen someone get into a tournament that late, while already on site. And just like that, I was teeing off—completely unprepared, still processing that I was officially in the field. I didn’t even mentally register that I was playing until about the 6th hole. Still, I managed to shoot +1 that day. Honestly, I liked the course. It suited me well, and despite the chaos, I settled in quickly. Then came the rain. Cold. Miserable. Forty degrees. I didn’t have a caddy the first day, but posted a call on Instagram—and a friend stepped up and carried for me on the weekend. He did awesome and I’m so appreciate of his help. Unfortunately, he wasn’t familiar with all the tour rules and accepted a ride between holes 17 and 18. On tour, if your caddy takes a ride, you take a two-stroke penalty. Just like that, I dropped from a potential top-20 finish to just outside—but I didn’t care. I had made the cut And earned points that helped protect my status for the rest of the season. It was chaotic, cold, unpredictable—and one of the most meaningful weeks of my career so far.

**Biweekly Update – April 1, 2025**

April 2, 2025

Hey everyone! Besides the Utah update (which my biggest supporters get early access to—love y’all!), I wanted to share a quick recap of the past couple weeks. I went home for the weekend and spent some time at the Houston Rodeo. It was such a good reset. I got to see my family, hang with a college friend, and reconnect with people who supported me during high school golf. It was really special to feel that love and know that people are still cheering me on, especially from home. After Utah, I flew back to LA for a few days to check in with my coaches and clean up some parts of my swing. One of them told me my backswing looks great right now, which meant a lot—I’ve been working hard on it. We’ve all been focused on improving my transition, and during a convo with a new trainer I might start seeing, I had a realization. Back in college, during my sophomore year, my left hip started hurting bad. But with only five active players on the team, I had to keep playing. Turns out, I tore my hip labrum—something I didn’t know at the time. Playing through that injury forced me to change my swing just to get through rounds, and even though the pain’s gone now after a ton of rehab, I never fully unlearned those compensations. That clicked for me this week. My body’s been protecting itself for years, and now I finally get why it’s been so hard to move into my left side and engage my lower body properly. Now that I understand the *why*, we’ve built a new game plan with focused gym work to help me unlock that part of my swing again. And just in time—because tournament season is officially here. I’ll be competing almost every week in April and May, which is exciting after a long stretch of training and waiting. It’s time to shift from practice mode to play mode, and I’m ready for it. Thanks for being here, for following along, and for all your support. I’ll keep you updated as always! — Christine

Bi-weekly update 3/3

March 4, 2025

Hey everyone! This past week, I played three full rounds (18+18+18) and one nine-hole round at different courses. That’s the most I’ve played all offseason, but I wanted to collect real data on where my game stands after my major swing change—and overall, it’s looking really good. At first, I planned to use Golf Stat Labs, a system my old coach created, to track my performance. But after seeing the membership fee, I thought—why not try ChatGPT? Turns out, it gave me everything Golf Stat Labs would have, plus even better insights by comparing my stats to current LPGA data instead of outdated PGA numbers. That’s obviously way more useful for me since, you know, I play women’s professional golf. The results? My strokes gained are around LPGA average, and I finished under par overall. The biggest area I want to improve is my wedge play inside 130 yards—my proximity to the hole is a little off LPGA standards. Makes sense, though, since I’ve been so focused on my swing changes. Time to sharpen up my distance control on short wedges before competition season starts. I’ve also made big changes to my putting. Instead of just relying on feel, I’ve trained myself to use my upper body and back for speed control instead of my hands. Bigger muscles = more consistency, while hands can get a little unpredictable, especially when switching courses. Upcoming Tournaments My first big event of 2025 on the Epson Tour will be the IOA Championship in Beaumont, CA, during the third week of April. Before that, I’ll likely play one or two Cactus Tour events as a warm-up. Nothing beats real tournament pressure, so I want to get in more competitive rounds before my Epson debut. The Next Two Weeks: Dialing It In The focus for the next two weeks? Keep grinding on my swing change. I am so close—I can almost taste it, and it’s exciting. A huge breakthrough this week: my driver clubhead speed broke 100 mph for the first time since middle school. Back then, I was just swinging as hard as I could, but now, I actually have control and power. That means when I go after it, I can consistently carry it over 240 yards, which is a huge confidence boost. All the workouts, swing changes, and speed training are paying off. I also want to keep playing 1-3 times per week leading up to my tournament. I’m not a driving range grinder—I’m a player. Real golf is where I get my best feedback, so the goal is to get as many real reps in as possible. Life Update: Big Announcement I’m officially starting a YouTube channel! I’ve wanted to do this since 7th grade, and now it’s finally happening. I’ve been planning it carefully so it doesn’t take away from my training, and I think I’ve found a smart way to make it work. Exclusive scoop for you guys: I haven’t even told my parents yet—so hi, Mom! Surprise! This won’t be a typical golf channel. I want it to be fun but also educational in a way that no one else is really doing. You’ll see soon! Settling Into My Routine I’ve finally settled into my apartment, and Mondays are now my off days. Today, I: ✔️ Saw my chiropractor ✔️ Filmed part of my YouTube video (!!) ✔️ Replied to a million emails Being a pro golfer without an agent means I wear a lot of hats—manager, scheduler, editor, content creator. Honestly, I never thought I’d be busier than when I was in school, but here we are! Final Thoughts This was my first biweekly Fanded update, and I hope you guys liked it! Let me know what you’d love to hear more about. These will be for my paid members in the future but Thanks for the support—it means everything as I chase this dream! Until next time, Christine

Mr. Michael Yumaki in the background cheering for my birdie made my day. Thank you for hosting me at one of the most exclusive clubs in the world. I am so lucky to have such amazing people in my network.

Discipline vs. Motivation.

How long did this take me to edit: Neglecting the time it took for me to take golf videos because I was actually practicing, - 1.5 hours of editing clips together total - 1 hour of writing and editing script - .5 hour of recording audio - 2 hours of finishing touches and posting on all platforms. Yeah… and this post doesn’t make me any money posting on instagram. But I felt like it’s an important message to share so I do it for the people.

Mercy of the Algorithm

February 19, 2025

I have over 21K followers on Instagram, yet my latest post with @gabiruffles has 13.3K views—with only 14.2% coming from my actual followers. My most popular post this past month? 430K views!!!! But just 3.2% from people who follow me. That means ONE-THIRD of my own followers didn’t get a chance to see my video. This is what I call, mercy of the algorithm. When I follow someone, it’s because I want to see THEIR content. But Instagram seems to think otherwise. So, to make sure the people who actually want to keep up with the cool things I’m doing—like this super fun collab with Gabi—I’ll be sharing everything here Fanded too! 🔥 Join my community where you actually see my posts. #AlgorithmMystery #SupportCreators #GolfCollab

December 5, 2024

Hey everyone! First off, THANK YOU for being here. This Fanded club is for the real ones—the people who truly believe in me and my journey. Most of you know me from social media, but I’m tired of leaving my content at the mercy of the algorithm. I wanted a space where I can share freely, connect directly, and make sure my biggest supporters actually see what I want to share. Did you know that most Instagram posts reach less than 10% of a creator’s followers—even when nearly 70% of those who do see it actively engage?? That means the people who WANT to support us the most aren’t even seeing our content! This is why the exact same video can be posted twice—one goes viral, and the other flops. Not here on Fanded, though. So, what can you expect here? 👀 ✨ Behind-the-scenes from tournaments, practice rounds, and life on the road 🎥 Exclusive videos (things I don’t post anywhere else!) 📝 Personal updates—my raw and honest stories about the highs, the lows, and the lessons I’m learning in my first full season as a pro golfer 💬 Q&As and direct interactions—let’s chat, strategize, and build together. You guys are now part of my team. 🚀 Early access & announcements—content drops, insider news about my game, and maybe even some exclusive merch in the future 👀 This space is all about connection, and I can’t wait to bring you along for the ride as I chase my dreams. Thank you for supporting me, believing in me, and being part of my journey. If you’re seeing this and haven’t joined yet—now’s the time! Be one of the first members and help shape this community from the start. 🎟️💛 Let’s kick things off with a never-before-seen photo from a past photo shoot. Cute sweater right? 😉
