Dwyane Wade is among the several other NBA celebrities who have developed a liking towards golf. Over the years, Wade has honed himself into a brilliant golfer, which is why he could even hit his first hole-in-one shot at Pebble Beach. As D-Wade mentioned, this was the first time he’d hit such a shot on a golf course, and had been waiting for such a moment for three years. In the video, Wade elatedly exclaimed the following.
“My first hole-in-one baby! At Pebble Beach! At Pebble Beach! I’ve been waiting on this hole for three years!”
Wade was not done there. He took his excitement to his Instagram page and expressed his delight further in his post’s caption.

Surely, Dwyane Wade is very well enjoying his post-retirement life. The Miami Heat legend recently got inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. And perhaps, in no time, may just contend for Golf’s Hall of Fame as well.
Dwyane Wade once was shot down by Tiger Woods when asking about golf
Most NBA stars have taken a liking to golf. Whether it’s LeBron James, Stephen Curry, or even the great Michael Jordan, everyone loves the game as passionately as basketball. D-Wade clearly shares this feeling. However, the Miami Heat legend once got brutally shot down by Tiger Woods for enquiring about his golfing skills.
When Wade visited Woods’ Tiger Jam approximately 13 years ago, he asked the golfing legend if he could be good enough in golf. In the most brutal manner, Woods shut down Dwyane Wade’s query with a swift ‘no’.
Perhaps he achieved the hole-in-one due to the chip Woods placed on his shoulder.
