LeBron James shares honest admission after trying out golf

Almost 15 years ago, in 2009, LeBron James was spotted hanging out on the golf course with billionaires Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. Four years later, he and Kevin Hart were featured in a Samsung Commercial.

That was the time when LeBron was officially spotted showcasing his golf swing. Years have passed and now, James was spotted swinging during his offseason weeks.

Apart from sharing his clip, he shared how difficult he finds golf to be.

"Day 2 of officially trying this A out! Boy o Boy it's a mind f**k to say the least! But I think I enjoy that part of it a lot! Haha! Got a long ass way to go at this sport..." he wrote.

Although he is not an avid golfer like Jordan, James has often praised golfers on social media, especially during The Masters or The Open.
