Philadelphia 76ers legend Charles Barkley’s obsession with the game of golf is no secret. Despite having a true passion and love for the game, Barkley has not received the same love from the sport. While the legend’s perseverance has helped him improve his game, his iconic swing fashion remains an example of poor golfing skills.

Well, what can be certainly said about Barkley’s bizarre swing is that he is not the only one. The history of golf has seen several pro players and amateurs flaunt the strangest swing on the course. While some were successful, some were not. Regardless of that, golf has been long fancied by people. Recently, famed rapper Sheyaa Bin Abraham was seen sporting a swing similar to the 11-time NBA All-Star player.

Is 21 Savage’s golf swing identical to Charles Barkley’s much-ridiculed swing?

Despite the fact that Sir Charles isn’t a pro golf player, he was criticized for his poor golfing skills. Nevertheless, the NBA legend never gave up on his passion. From hypnosis to therapy, he tried everything to improve his game. While he might not be on a pro level, his skills have improved much more than before.

But unfortunately, that didn’t do much to reduce the criticism coming his way. But what’s worth celebrating is people have begun to praise Chuck’s efforts and improvement.

One of the users wrote, “Hahahah no he doesn’t but it’s bad. Charles doesn’t have horrible form he just stops mid way through for some reason.”

Criticizing 21 Savage, another user wrote, “21 Savage the next to go to LIV.”

Even if Barkley’s golf skills couldn’t be considered as graceful as other golf players, his efforts over the past years make his game one of the most inspiring tales of perseverance. As Twitter users seem to have found another amateur player to criticize, Barkley might find some solace in the comment section.
