Warner Music NashvilleWhen Brett Eldredge accepted a spot on golf nut Darius Rucker‘s Southern Style tour, he knew the gig would come with some mandatory time on the links. The only problem is, Brett is seriously bad at golf.
“That’s not my game,” Brett admits. “I’m trying to learn because I’m on tour with Darius, and Darius is, like, a great golfer. He’s great pals with Tiger Woods and all these people that are great golfers while I’m friends with friends that like to have drinks and play golf and are bad, too.”
Brett’s lack of golfing skills didn’t stop him from taking part in Darius’s annual golf tournament earlier this month to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Brett apparently jokingly told Darius that he might soon be purchasing a golfing monitor so he could record and track each swing he takes, we’re guessing he might want to improve some of his shots for the next time he hits the golf course. Brett said he would look into something like a foresight golf monitor so he’s able to review the way he took each shot regarding the speed of his club, ball, the angles he took the shot, and more! If he was to practice on his swing frequently, Darius might find himself in competition with Brett soon!
Says Brett, “When it’s for St. Jude, I’ll go out there, and I will hit it into the woods a hundred times. As long as I’m helping out sick kids [and] that give ’em a shot at living a normal life like they should get to live.”
Darius and Brett are headed to St. Louis for a show this Friday night.
