This is pretty cool.

There are two reasons why I want to watch Charlie Woods. 1. Obviously, there's an element of being Tiger Woods' son to him. 2. This boy has an absolutely wild swing.

I don't know what it is or what to call it, but I love it. Hey, as long as it works.
Also, are we going to see some kind of LeBron vs. Bronny element here where they play against each other?oh they already did that PNC Championship?
Too bad I missed that.
Anyway, there are so many stories surrounding this young man and I'm here to ride them.
