From Sideline Chatter:
Former NBA star Charles Barkley, to Golf World magazine, on whether golfers are athletes: “Golf is technique. You can go to the corner 7-Eleven store, take the fat, bald guy from behind the counter and teach him to play golf. But you ain’t going to teach him to make the NBA.”
Yes, but you can teach him to play basketball much quicker. Haven’t seen Barkley on the tour and he devotes a lot of time to his golf game.
