Charles Barkley Offering Anthony Kim Alcohol Consumption Advice
/Nice catch by Bob Carney to spot this Charles Barkley interview with ESPN Radio Dallas where the Golf Channel reality show icon talks about Tiger's no-alcohol-or-caffeine diet during tournaments and how he suggested to Anthony Kim that he could learn from such an example to avoid incidents like this one.
It is funny you talk about Tiger. I have become friends with Anthony Kim and I was talking to him the other day trying to tell him: Let this B.S. with Robert Allenby go. Nothing good is going to happen if you all are going back-and-forth. The one thing that I will say about Tiger is that when we go out, he can drink. He drinks but he never drinks when he has got a tournament. So I think you distinguish those two. If we are just going to Vegas to screw around or we are just going around, he might have a couple of beers or something. If he has got a tournament, he does not drink. I am just relaying the Anthony Kim story. Maybe Tony can learn that ok that there is certain things that I got to do when I play and everything else has got to be 2nd. You can have fun when you are off: Ok, I got a tournament this week. Tiger won’t even do caffeine the week of a tournament. He thought that it screwed up his putting stroke. You know how sometimes caffeine has got you jittery? I mean just simple stuff like that.
