Charles Barkleys golf swing is no longer all that turrible

While you chuckle, however, keep this in mind. Barkley is playing with a bum hip, a problem he plans to get fixed after this year’s tournament, the Reno Gazette-Journal reports.

Barkley reportedly said his upcoming hip replacement surgery should improve his range of motion from 10 percent to up to 70 percent.

No one really cares if Barkley’s good or not, though. People don’t come to the event to witness expert golf, but to be entertained.

“Charles adds an element that people come to see Charles Barkley. They just want to get a picture taken with him,” participant Jeremy Roenick, a former NHL player, told the Reno-Gazette Journal. “They want to feel good about themselves if they tell him great shot and gives him thumbs up or something like that.”
