Stephen Curry on Playing Golf With the President of United States: “I Was Told Not to Reveal That Information. That’s Top Secret. I’m Like the Secret Service.”
Stephen Curry has several reasons to boast his aiming skills. From shooting threes to half-court shots at will which more often than not go in, Curry has displayed frequently why he is one of the greatest shooters of all time. However, basketball is not the only sport he has mastered. He is also very fond of golf.
He plays that as a luxurious habit and not professionally. However, we call this habit a luxury because he only plays with an exclusive group of people. This includes the former President of the United States, Mr. Barack Obama.
When Stephen Curry appeared on the Ellen Show with the former first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, they revealed he had played golf with Barack Obama.
However, while he could reveal that he played with him, he could not reveal the reason why he lost to Mr. Obama in the previous two times they played. Moreover, Michelle Obama even confirmed that he plays better than her husband.
He still refused to disclose his handicap and said, “I was told not to disclose that information on our president. That’s top secret. I’m acting like secret service so that’s top secret.”
Who all does Stephen Curry play golf with?
Earlier this year, Stephen Curry took part in the American Country Championship which is a celebrity golf tournament. It featured stars and former stars like Ray Allen, Charles Barkley, Kyle Lowry, and his own father Dell Curry.
Stephen finished the highest among these stars while finishing ninth overall.

Other than playing golf, Curry is also an ardent fan of the sport. Therefore, he joined Michael Jordan for watching the Ryder Cup this season. It does not seem like a matter of coincidence that two of the greatest players to ever play basketball also like golf.
These two legends even sat down for a conversation after the Ryder Cup where they spoke about several aspects of the sport.
It’s almost as if sports runs in their blood. We also consider these two to be the most fierce competitors in the history of NBA Basketball. So, sports was the natural inclination.
