Barkley may switch to lefty for Tahoe celeb golf
RENO, Nev. (AP) -- June 9, 2011 -- It's hard to tell sometimes when Charles Barkley is joking, but it's also hard to watch him play golf.
So, there's a decent chance he wasn't kidding when he told reporters on Thursday he's seriously considering playing left-handed next month at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe.
As Barkley put it: "It can't be worse."
The NBA Hall of Famer turned TV analyst said it isn't like he's enjoyed a whole lot of success playing right-handed.
Known for the hitch in his stop-and-go swing, Barkley routinely finishes last at the annual tourney at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course. He's a 500-1 longshot to win this year's tourney July 15-17.
Barkley says he's just as bad from the left side but seems to be more relaxed.
I'd heard inklings that he was working on this. Go HERE to see a YouTube video of Barkley's work-in-progress lefty swing at whifflingstraits.com.
