Caitlin Clark Tees Off at The Annika: A Day in the Life of a Golfing Basketball Star

BELLAIR, Fla. — As the clock struck 6:30 a.m., whispers filled the air at Pelican Golf Club. LPGA and tournament organizers held their breath, hoping for a smooth start to the day. Would Caitlin Clark make it in time for her 7 a.m. tee time? The anticipation was palpable as the minutes ticked by.

Finally, 19 minutes before her tee time, Caitlin Clark appeared on the driving range. Dressed in head-to-toe Nike, she confidently strode to the far end, where cameras awaited to capture her first swings. Despite a few initial thinned shots, Clark quickly found her rhythm, launching the ball into the morning sun. With her caddie by her side and a cart waiting, she stood on the first tee box next to golf legends Annika Sorenstam and Nelly Korda, ready to take on the course with her 16 handicap.

The presence of Caitlin Clark, the biggest women’s basketball star in the world, drew a crowd of thousands. Fans and onlookers marveled at her transition from the basketball court to the golf course, a testament to her athletic prowess and influence.

But how does Caitlin Clark’s golf swing stack up? According to golf coach Dana Dahlquist, who analyzed videos of her swings, Clark exhibits common amateur tendencies, such as not fully loading onto her left side and struggling to square the club face early on. Despite these challenges, Clark’s natural athleticism allows her to generate impressive clubhead speed and distance off the tee, averaging 269 yards this year.

Clark’s journey in golf began with a pink set of junior clubs and watching Rory McIlroy on TV with her dad in Iowa. She has since upgraded her equipment and received lessons from former LPGA pro Martha Foyer-Faulconer in preparation for events like The Annika.

Following the end of the WNBA season, Clark expressed a desire to pursue professional golf in the offseason, sparking conversation about her potential in the sport. However, Clark remains grounded, approaching golf as a fun challenge among friends rather than a serious career path.

Despite the attention and pressure of playing alongside golfing greats like Korda and Sorenstam, Clark maintained her composure and sense of humor throughout the round. Even a shanked tee shot on the third hole couldn’t rattle her, as she embraced the ups and downs of the game with a positive attitude.

As Clark navigated the course with Korda and Sorenstam by her side, she received valuable advice and feedback on her swing. Sorenstam, in particular, emphasized the importance of tempo and club face alignment to improve her performance on the course.

In the end, Caitlin Clark’s foray into professional golf proved to be a unique and inspiring experience for fans and players alike. Her blend of talent, humility, and competitive spirit shone through, leaving a lasting impression on the golfing world.
