Baseball icon Hank Aaron once said, "It took me seventeen years to get three thousand hits in baseball. It took one afternoon on the golf course." Though not a baseball player, Charles Barkley can probably relate. A fellow Hall of Famer in his respective sport, few people have had their golf swings analyzed, critiqued and mocked more frequently in recent memory than Barkley, whose infamous hitch is emulated by weekend golfers everywhere.
Playing alongside Phil Mickelson in The Match III on Friday, Barkley leaned on his new-and-improved swing and coaching from Mickelson to cruise to a lopsided victory over Steph Curry and Peyton Manning.
