While Khaled plays golf occasionally, he has never revealed his golf handicap to the public. Unfortunately, the recent clip of Khaled didn’t show where the ball landed or its distance traveled.

However, it provided a good look at Khaled’s golf swing. While he’s no professional, the “Popstar” singer maintained a decent starting position before releasing the trigger to hit the shot. But his golf swing was much slower than expected, which would have caused the ball to drop short.

However, it’s nothing to complain about. As long as Khaled is happy on the course.
