You may or may not recall that Charles Barkley was bragging about his golf game during the last version of “The Match” that featured four quarterbacks — Josh Allen, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes — battling in Vegas.
Barkley tried to tell whoever would listen that he’s close to become a single-digit handicapper.
That immediately got our attention so we paid close attention to Barkley, who competed this past week at the American Century Championship staged at Lake Tahoe.
Barkley was also bragging that he’d finish inside the top 70 in the competition won by Tony Romo.
Sorry Charlie. You tied for 74th.
After rounds of 93-93-92 and a minus points total of 26, it doesn’t appear that Barkley’s headed for single digits any time soon, if ever.
We were contemplating giving Barkley a spot in the dog house but the dogs were horrified at Barkley’s current physique. The former Round Mound Of Rebound has to be checking in close to 400 pounds and the dogs feared he’d take up too much space in their clubhouse.
So, no Chuck in the Dog House.
But he’s deserving. Barkley needs to quit bragging about how good he is.

He has improved.
And Things can change quickly. I had an embarrassing front nine at an executive course yesterday —well into double figures over par —but came back with a solid even par on the back 9.
Maybe chuck just hasn’t had his even par back 9 yet.
He is big. I wasn’t exactly focused on his game—saw just one putt of his— but was a bit alarmed at his roundness. He needs to take care of himself or his body will limit his enjoyment of golf as much or more as that awful hitch and go swing he had for way too long.
This challenge of getting in just decent enough shape to play recreational golf could be even tougher.

I agree and even the broadcasters were want to say “He was running out of gas….” I’m damn sure he cannot walk 18 holes…..so no golf in Scotland for Sir Chalres…

If I remember correctly recently he said he has never been across the pond for golf. Mainly because he felt not good enough to travel all that way.

With all his assets, he should start getting professional weight-loss options.
