Guess who made an appearance at the TGL arena on Matchday 3? It’s NBA star turned golfer, JR Smith, who was waving at fans as TV cameras turned to the gallery at SoFi Center. The 39-year-old former basketball star took into golf at a later age and joined North Carolina AT&T State University’s college golf program. “It was literally like an addiction, immediately,” said Smith speaking about his first tryst with the game. Smith is bold and he is confident in his golfing skills. But what handicap does he play with? Well, he is a self-admitted eight-handicapper, one of the best from the NBA to turn into golf. While that is short of Steph Curry’s golfing skills, Smith doesn’t lag very far behind.
