I think Charles Barkley has the worst one I have ever seem. How many really bad swings do we all get to see on TV. I see some bad swings on the golf course but the only people who get to see them too are my playing partners.
I refuse to watch my swing on video. I slap it around the course well enough to break 70 sometimes but I am sure if I saw my swing on video I would be sick. I have heard a couple times I swing like my hometown favorite Jim Furyk. So I will still to playing by feel.

Yeah, Charles Barkley looks like a cat thrown off a 4 story building in a flat spin when he swings. I have seen Charles OAKLEY swing and he isn't much better...just doesn't enter the events where everyone else gets to see it.

Re: world's worst swing

I was watching a 2 year old swing a golf club.

YouTube - 2-Year-Old Has Perfect Golf Swing, Nice Kid vs Tiger Woods

As I looked at related videos, I saw the Charles Barkley swing:

YouTube - Charles Barkley Golf Swing

YouTube - charles barkley has a really bad golf swing

You would think a multimillionaire would have someone actually fix that swing before making a public appearance.

It may not be as bad as Happy Whiffmore:
YouTube - Worst golf swing in the world?

Or happy feet:
YouTube - Most Intense Golf Swing Ever.

The Jim Furyk wannabe:

YouTube - Donk worst ever golf swing EVER!!!!!!!

Re: world's worst swing

Sir Charles has said in interviews that he's tried everything to fix his swing. He's paid thousands of dollars on lessons and has even tried to be hypnotized, but there is just a tick that makes him stop his swing on the way down...I kind of feel bad for him, but he seems to at least have fun while he's golfing, and that's what matters.

One quote from a recent celebrity golf tournament, I think was, "Hey, I know I ****. But at least I have nice equipment."

Re: world's worst swing

Yeah, how many of us have nice smooth practice swings and when there's a ball in front of us turn to Charles Barkley?
