Kiwi NBA star Steven Adams has been giving golf a go while back home in the off-season.
Adams told One News the game didn't come naturally to him as a session on the driving range showed. He admitted he has yet to play a full round.
The 2.13m Oklahoma City Thunder player said his mindset off the tee wasn't too complicated.
"Just smash it, honestly. It's meat-head stuff. You know, who can hit the farthest."
Adams is giving back to basketball through golf, launching the Steven Adams Invitational tournament at Auckland's Windross Farm in September.
