After his recent retirement from the NBA, it seems like J.R. Smith’s been having the time of his life lately.
One of Smith’s more recent fun forays has been trying his hand at golf. As a current member of North Carolina A&T’s golf team (where he’s working toward a degree in liberal studies), Smith has slowly been polishing up his skills on the green.
In a test of where Smith stands, he was paired with pro golfer Tony Finau during Wednesday’s BMW Championship Pro-AM. Ever a man with impeccable taste and flair, Smith showed up to the tournament — while wearing a salmon sweater, mind you — with one of the slicker, custom putters you might ever see:

Oh man, look at that purple. That is one cool putter. If you’re going to have it custom-made by a designer with Bettinardi in Chicago like Smith did, it better look positively great. And it does. Mission accomplished.
Golf fans loved the look of Smith's slick custom putter
