By his own admission, Jimmy Kimmel is nothing less than an embarrassment to the game. The late-night talk-show host has a swing that’s painful to watch. On the first tee at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in January, he asked the gallery to turn around and not watch his tee shot, then hit a dribbler about 35 yards. “I’m a terrible golfer,” he has been quoted as saying. Still, despite his lack of golfing ability, Kimmel says he is committed to achieving mediocrity in the game. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Las Vegas, Kimmel currently lives in Los Angeles with his 14-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son. How did you get into golf?
