Gan Guoyang was not very fond of golf.
Compared to basketball, football, and other sports full of confrontation that stimulate the adrenaline, golf seemed a bit too genteel.
Moreover, playing golf was more about competing with oneself than with an opponent. When swinging the club, there was only the club, the ball, and the wind.
Golfers are always pondering the strength and angle of their stroke and the wind speed, constantly competing with themselves, which is quite similar to shooting baskets.
Many NBA players enjoy golf, which is an important symbol of entering the elite class and a way for them to stimulate themselves during leisure time and avoid pressure.
Gan Guoyang never liked to compete with himself, so he didn't enjoy participating in this sport thick with elite vibes, although sometimes he had to for the sake of socializing.
Like his good friends Jordan and Barkley, who were avid golf enthusiasts, Gan Guoyang would play a few rounds with them in his spare time.
