We’ve learned that playing golf against Michael Jordan is difficult for several reasons. For starters, he’s good, hovering around a low single-digit handicap. And his Grove XXIII in South Florida is set up to amplify his strengths. He is also the ultimate competitor and intimidating to play against because he is Michael Jordan.
During this week Subpar podcastwhich also included guest Bob Sura, we learned another reason why Jordan is so hard to beat on the golf course.
While the hosts and Sura were talking about playing golf with Jordan, Knost mentioned that Jordan was struggling during one of their matches at Shadow Creek – perhaps due to a sore back – and Knost uncharacteristically asked for a buyout on their bet after eleven holes. And how did he react?
“Of course,” Knost said. “Do you think I’m going to say no to MJ?”
Which brings us back to our point: it is Real hard to say “no” to the GOAT on the golf course.
“That’s the problem with golf gambling with MJ: No one says no to Michael,” Sura said. “If a putt is that long” — Sura holds up his hands — “is that good? It’s good. He comes out there and he deserves it; he earned it.”
Sura, 52, is a former NBA player and now plays poker professionally. He is also an avid golfer. He has competed against Jordan on the court – which he talks about in the podcast – and also on the golf course. They play together in the Grove XXIII and bet money on their matches, games in which Sura says you can win or lose up to 10 or 15 thousand.
“It’s hard to hand over someone who’s worth it [3-4 billion] dollars of money at the end of the round, but his golf game is pretty good,” Sura says. “He still beats me up today.”
