Stephen Curry is one of the best players in the NBA. But if the basketball thing had not worked out, he might have had a successful career as a professional golfer.

Curry was the No. 1 golfer on the Charlotte Christian team in high school and is now a near-scratch golfer — a 1.2 index, according to Golf Digest. He is also the best golfer among current NBA players, and the No. 14 athlete overall, according to Golf Digest’s most recent ranking of pro athletes on the golf course.

He even once shot 70 at the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links.

So when Curry names his favorite golf holes, you can be sure it is not coming from a weekend hack.

Curry was recently a guest on “The TK Show,” a podcast hosted by Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News. Kawakami asked Curry what his favorite golf hole is. Curry named two.
