I'm sure most people on here have seen his swing, but I thought it deserved a thread, especially for people who might NOT have seen it. Read this description today which made me LOL:

"I mean, Barkley's golf game couldn't be worse. His swing looks like what would happen if the movie "Vanilla Sky" was viewed on shrooms. You really can't explain what happens with this thing except he takes it "straight" back, starts his downswing and then some invisible goblin grabs his arms and makes him do things nobody from this world should do."

Also:

"Barkley insists he's a 12 handicap, but his friends say that number is more likely his average score per hole.

'Tiger and I were in Vegas playing golf not so long ago, and he asked if I'd heard about the new super Kmart store being built there," Barkley recalls. "And I said, 'No, where are they gonna build it?' And Tiger said, 'In the space between your ball and mine.''"

This really boggles my mind. He's worked with Butch Harmon and even he couldn't get him to stop doing this move.

I just don't get why he can't force himself to swing it smoothly on the downswing.

It seems like such an easy fix that I have a hard time thinking that if I was able to work with him for a bit I couldn't get him to stop doing it. But if Butch Harmon couldn't do it, I probably couldn't either.

I wonder if he swings a baseball bat like that? If you gave him a hockey stick and had him hit a hockey puck, would he make the same move?

WTF

Was watching that celebrity tournament today and the announcer said that Barkley doesn't swing like that on the range. For some reason when he get on the course he just spazzes out.
