?Fixed the Hitch at Least?: Despite Berating Himself for Poor Shot, Charles Barkley Receives Favorable Responses From Sports Fans

While Charles Barkley has made quite an impact on the sports world with his hoop skills, the same cannot be said when it comes to golf. Of course, Chuck is no professional golfer, but it still did not stop many from trolling him for his poor swinging skills. Interestingly, this time, it was the Chuckster himself who ended up cussing his failed shot in exasperation. However, sports fans chose to look on the bright side instead and commend the Hall of Famer for visible improvement.

Sir Charles and golfing have a decades-old connection. In fact, during his playing career, the Phoenix Suns legend would often take time out for a friendly game with former friend Michael Jordan.

Charles Barkley fails to contain his frustration

Just days after Charles Barkley put a dent in Warriors fans’ hopes, a video of him surfaced online. The Hall of Famer was at a golf course and the video that was originally uploaded by Birdie Houses on Tik Tok showed him taking a swing in front of a couple of spectators.

Dressed in a white polo shirt, black pants, golf cap, and gloves, Chuck indeed looked like a professional golfer. However, despite having honed his skills in the past decade, Barkley failed to make a successful shot which prompted him to chide himself in a rather hilarious manner. In the short clip reshared by golf.gram, Barkley could be heard saying, “Goddammit, you bad punk!”

Chuck gains fans’ favor

While Barkley opted not to spare himself from the reprimand, fans chose to look at it as a glass half-full. Recalling the 1993 Finals MVP’s previous techniques, fans praised Chuckster for the drastic improvement he had made. One Instagram user’s comment read, “Looks like he fixed the hitch at least”. Whereas, another sports fan commented, “At least it’s in full send now I remember when he would glitch out mid swing.” Take a look at a few more of the comments.
