VIDEO: Charles Barkley excels at Hallway Golf on ‘The Tonight Show’

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


Charles Barkley is a terrible golfer, but he may have found a calling with a game called Hallway Golf.

The 11-time NBA All-Star, in New York for this weekend's NBA All-Star Game, stopped by "The Tonight Show" at the behest of host Jimmy Fallon to play a game he called Hallway Golf with actor Hugh Grant.

The concept is simple: use golf clubs to hit a foam ball through the backstage hallways of the show's studio, rounding back onto the set and into a cup. Barkley did great, trying to play a form of field hockey as he, Grant and Fallon dragged their balls along the floor. Just when it looked like Barkley was going to win, Grant and Fallon denied his ball a spot at the bottom of the cup. In the end, the host took medalist honors.

Charles Barkley will never win anything related to golf.
