We’ve all had some bad days on the links. But generally, those bad days don’t play out in front of a crowd and television cameras.
Former NBA star and current analyst Jalen Rose was one of several big names to participate in the Ally Challenge Celebrity Shootout, which was held at the Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club in Rose’s home state of Michigan.
However, it wasn’t the homecoming Rose hoped for, and his performance was notable for all the wrong reasons. Wearing an Aidan Hutchinson Lions jersey, Rose failed to even make contact five times before Jack Nicklaus — one of the greatest golfers of all time who won a record 18 majors during his playing career — intervened.
“You see this thing here,” Nicklaus asked, pointing to the club head. “That’s what you hit the ball with.”
He then demonstrated a golf swing for Rose. Amazingly, the lesson seemed to work, as he hit the ball on his next attempt. Sort of.

Rose didn’t get any air on it, and it only went a few yards. But hey, it counts. That’ll play.
Don’t worry, Jalen. I’ve been there.
