Winning three championships in four years will entitle you to an offseason of rest and relaxation, right? Apparently that's not the case for two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry.
Curry will be participating in the Web.com Tour's Ellie Mae Classic this week in an attempt to show off his golfing abilities. Arguably a top-five player in the NBA right now, the Warriors sharpshooter has also displayed his love for golf with numerous appearances in competitions and tours. Still on the verge of establishing his name in the sport, Curry is looking to have a strong showing in this week's Ellie Mae Classic.
But his offseason has been loaded like his array of shooting skills. With the arrival of top big man Demarcus Cousins to the Bay Area, and his wife Ayesha giving birth to a son, it has been a busy summer for Curry.
Janie McCauley of The Associated Press quoted Curry as saying:
“Am I getting any sleep? I’m getting the right amount of sleep for having a month-old son, my wife as well,” Curry said. “There aren’t really many expectations when a new baby comes, but my golf game is in decent shape. I haven’t played as much as I’d like to leading up to the tournament. I have a full swing golf simulator in my house now that’s helping me prepare. Actually I’m getting in trouble because at home I sneak into that room way more than I should just because it’s right there and I get my little swings in. I would say my preparation level is adequate enough to play well and hopefully play better than I did last year.”
Juggling through his basketball routines and family duties have left Curry groping for more opportunities to get ready for the golf event. Hopefully his knack for shooting the lights out in the NBA will translate to a successful effort n this week's classic.
