According to Michael Jordan's golf scores, he maintains a sub-2 handicap. According to his golf swing, I say it can't be below 20. The Bryan Bros. shot a video of Jordan swinging at the Floridian on Tuesday, and Jordan showed off one of the stranger, loopier swings I've ever seen.
There is definitely some Charles Barkley in there and maybe a little Jim Furyk as well. The setup is straight out of the Matt Kuchar playbook -- let the driver head rest just above the ground a little bit behind the ball. The takeaway is disgusting. He basically flings the head out away from his body while getting into a stance that everyone who has been to a youth basketball camp would describe as the "triple threat."
Then the club never gets extended on his backswing. It's basically just straight up in the air. It is honestly sort of impressive that he can get it back flush with the ball at all, much less hit it straight.
This is odd, too. I've seen Jordan swing before. It has never looked like Adam Scott or Rory McIlroy but it seems like he's getting looser with age. Regardless, if he's a 2 handicap, he's a 2 handicap (and maybe he's an elite putter).
