Charles Barkley stated he had the time of his life throughout a golf journey with Peyton Manning, Dwyane Wade and Grant Hill at Augusta Nationwide final month.
Throughout a Wednesday look on Altitude Sports activities Radio, the TNT persona recalled getting a name from Manning with a “proposition” to play and keep on the well-known course, which is house to the Masters match yearly in April.
“I’m probably going to get in trouble with Peyton Manning, but I gotta tell you this,” Barkley, 62, started. “So Peyton Manning referred to as me a couple of months again. And he stated ‘Chuck, I got a proposition for you… I want to take you to Augusta for a couple days and we’re gonna keep there.’ I stated, ‘Oh I’m in.’

“He says ‘well, let me finish.’ I stated, ‘no you’re completed there’s nothing you may say to me.’ … If he had stated, ‘Hey, you got to cut my grass for the next two weeks,’ I’m like I’m gonna reduce your rattling grass.
“He took me and Dwyane Wade and Grant Hill down there and we stayed. It was right before March Madness. It was two of the best days of my life… Getting to play a month before the Masters and stay on the property… It was unbelievable.”
Barkley, who stated he had performed one different time at Augusta Nationwide, went on to clarify that he was impressed by the know-how, which included a SubAir system underground for air flow when it rains.
“The first day was perfect, the second day … it rained like crazy… We play the first hole, it’s raining like a mother. We play the second hole, it stops raining. Then we hear this noise,” Barkley stated whereas making a buzzing sound. “We have been like, Peyton what the hell is that?
“He’s like, ‘That’s the SubAir system, they have it under all the fairways and under all the green. It makes this loud humming sound.’ Guys, it had been raining hard for three hours. I mean, as hard as it can rain,” Barkley recalled. “And Peyton says, inside quarter-hour, you ain’t even going to have the ability to inform it was raining. Guys, it hummed for like 15, 20 minutes. You can not even inform it had rained. It was loopy. I’d by no means seen something [like it].
“… It was two of the greatest days of my life,” Barkley stated. “Shoutout to the great Dwyane Wade and Grant Hill, but thanks Peyton Manning for taking us there.”
Barkley is an enormous fan of taking part in golf and his awkward golf swing has been properly documented via the years.
In November 2020, Barkley earned some redemption when he teamed with Phil Mickelson to beat Manning and Warriors star Steph Curry in a match play occasion.
