Maybe once J.R. Smith settles into a groove as a freshman college golfer it will be as smooth as his jump shot when he was starring in the NBA. Smith, 36, completed a historic three rounds for the N.C. A&T golf team at the Elon Phoenix Invitational in Burlington on Tuesday. There were plenty of curious on-lookers with Smith trying another sport. (Greensboro News & Record)
