Yao Ming's golf skills lacking in retirement
Behold Yao Ming's humanity.
Really drink it in. Watch him curl himself over his club. Watch him swing it like it's a pencil. Watch him pull his head and get all grass. It's what you want. It's what we all want.
We like to know our Goliaths can be taken down. We like to know Superman has a kryptonite. Just like us!
Is there anything more annoying than watching...
Yao Ming Isn’t Exactly a Good Golfer (Video)
With Yao Ming now happily-retired, he can spend the rest of his life chilling with his millions of dollars. He also can be like most retired athletes and get into the golf game.
Apparently, not everyone is good at it. We have learned that from a lot of people, such as Charles Barkley or Chris Webber. For Ming, he isn’t exactly so great either.
But man, he was fun to watch...

Former NBA Center Yao Ming tries to start a new career in golf during his post NBA retirement. He’s so tall that it’s probably a little difficult for him to excel at a sport like golf…My advice would be to keep your head up and swing hard Yao.-TO

When I first saw the title of this video I thought I’d be watching Yao as a somewhat accomplished golfer. I didn’t think we’d be looking at PGA material, but I did think he’d be at a pretty legit level. Then I realized that the guy is 7’6″ and it’s just not in the cards. He looked pretty decent addressing the ball though… Yao playing with Ryan Reynolds, and Michael...

The next time the Magic take the floor at Amway Center, the games will count (actually, it will be for an open practice Monday at 7 p.m.). There won't be time to learn anymore or time to make mistakes. Teaching moments will come with the penalty of losses and deep deficits.
Play time is over. The regular season is just a week away.
The Magic have plenty to work on before...
