Charles Barkley has a logical, no-BS answer for why he hasn't quit golf

In the pantheon of celebrity golfers, Charles Barkley holds a prominent -- some would argue notorious -- standing. While Barkley's dominance on the hardwood was a thing of beauty, the Round Mound of Rebound's golf swing is anything but.

Barkley was so dejected about this game that he promised to build a statue of the person that could fix his woes.
