Golf Digest cover boy Stephen Curry just bought a sweet house, but it's missing something. . .

November 24, 2015

According to the Los Angeles Times, reigning NBA MVP and current Golf Digest cover boy Stephen Curry has purchased a new house in Walnut Creek, Calif. The 8,000-square foot, Mediterranean estate is as nice as one would expect an 8,000-square foot, Mediterranean estate to be for a $3.2 million price tag. However, there's just one problem if you're a golf nut like the Golden State Warriors guard: There doesn't seem to be any part of the property devoted to golf.

There's no mention of a backyard golf course like the one soccer star Gareth Bale is building. No backyard golf hole. No backyard range. Not even a backyard practice green. Shocking.

Take a look at some of the photos:

If you notice, those last three photos all have TVs set to basketball. It's almost as if the previous owners new they'd be selling their home to an NBA star.

Of course, if they had set the TVs to golf, Curry would have bitten just as easily. And if they'd made it a little more golf friendly, he probably would have paid even more. Oh well, looks like Curry has a project for the off-season.
