Here's something that won't surprise you — golf influencer Grace Charis posted a video to social media, and it quickly went viral. That's just the way it goes with Charis these days. But if there's one thing she has made clear, it's that she loves the game almost as much as she does everything else.

In this particular post, Charis simply captioned the post "golf," with a video of her taking some slow-motion swings. These days, that's all it takes.

Believe it or not, Charis said she actually does love golf, and it's not all about posting pictures and videos of herself in racy outfits. But she did suggest the two are a pretty good match.
"I wasn't trying to be a golfer at first," Charis told Golf Monthly. "It was more about getting views and being in the creator space. I let social media dictate what I was wearing — if this outfit does well, or if it doesn't."
She admitted that she likes the edginess, but she's also quick to point out that she's not just about the attention.

Charis believes that, despite the critics, her influence is having a positive impact on the game of golf. She's attended major tournaments, hit exclusive golf clubs, and insists that what she's doing is bringing more people into the fold.
"Whether we like it or not, even though it's kind of sexualized, I'm getting a lot of people to watch golf," she said.
Clearly, Charis isn't about to stop. She knows her approach may ruffle some feathers, but as long as she's helping to grow the game, she sees no reason to change. "I'd rather focus on the fact that it's growing the game," she said. "I think that's a positive in a lot of ways."
