Watch: Steph Curry shows off his golf game with a trick shot from home during the NBA hiatus

During the NBA’s coronavirus pandemic, Stephen Curry is showing off his golf game.

It has been over a week since the NBA suspended the season due to the coronavirus. Since the announcement from the league, precautions for COVID-19 have only grown.

As positives test results for the virus continue to pop up around the league, the NBA has directed teams to close practice facilities. With limited options for basketball activities and California under a stay at home order, members of the Golden State Warriors are getting creative with their free time.

On Friday, Stephen Curry showed off his golf skills. Callaway Golf asked the two-time Most valuable Players how he’s “playing through.” Curry responded on Twitter with a video of him acing a trick golf shot from home.

Curry hit an off-the-wall chip shot directly into a standing cup. The Davidson product celebrated in a similar fashion to one of his vintage long-distance 3-pointers.

Curry nominated his former teammate Kent Bazemore, tennis player Mardy Fish and the popular trick shot group “Dude Perfect” to follow with golf videos of their own.

Whether it’s golf, watching his old highlights, pledging donations or advocating for social distancing, Golden State’s point guard has been active during the NBA hiatus.
