Charles Barkley Breaks Club on First Tee

Charles Barkley is a notoriously poor golfer, and that’s being kind. Barkley has one of the ugliest golf swings known to man kind. He has an uncontrollable hitch in the middle of his down-swing. So bad that, not even Hank Haney could fix Sir Charles and his stuttering problem.

Anytime Charles decides to pick up a golf club, laughs are surely to ensue. Earlier this week Barkley participated in a Pro-Am at the Regions Tradition at Shoal Creek, and trust me…he did not disappoint. Classic! Comedy at its finest!

What you are about to witness, many thought was impossible to execute on a golf course, but leave it to Charles and he can make the impossible come to reality — and he managed to do so on the very first tee!


Barkley broke all types of records in the NBA, and he followed suit on Hole #1 at Shoal Creek by breaking his driver. The clubhead of his Nike Driver flew off at contact, and sailed further than his ball.

Charles playing partner, Fuzzy Zoeller was eager to chime in once he located the driver head; “Are you playing a black Nike?”

Fuzzy suggested to auction the clubhead off for charity, and Barkley decided to be a good sport and do just that. The clubhead was signed by Charles, and donated to the PGA TOUR Charities to be auctioned off for charity. The bidding on the autographed driver head ends May13th.

Barkley was able to continue playing in the Pro-Am thanks to a fellow Auburn collegiate athlete, Bo Jackson. Bo allowed Charles to borrow one of his drivers to finish the round.

One thing was certain in Charles embarrassing display on the golf course, his colleagues Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson at TNT were sure going to get a kick out of this. Boy, did they ever…

In the end, you have to take your hat off to Charles for being such a good sport, but he should really stick to making basketball picks! The further away this guy is from a golf course, the better chance animals in the wilderness have of surviving.
