BROOKFIELD – The Milwaukee Bucks once again teamed up with the Waukesha-based Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to raise money in the fight against the disease with the team's annual golf outing on Monday at Westmoor Country Club in Brookfield. It was a light-hearted start to the new season for a good cause.

It’s not often when world class athletes feel out of place on any field of sport, but it was apparent – early – that the golf course isn’t really a field of dreams for the current Bucks players.

Nate Wolters was ready to go in jeans. Chris Wright wore his work clothes (basketball shorts). Khris Middleton figured he had nothing to lose in trying something new since he has already milked a cow at the State Fair.

Ersan Ilyasova, I thought, may have hope as a future golfer – this was his second go-round at the outing. He even went so far as to get the proper equipment (albeit with some difficulty).

"Yeah, size 16 is hard to find," he said of his custom golf shoes. "Especially these golf clubs; the custom building because of the size of them."

I saw him about an hour later, driving through the woods two fairways over from his tee box, looking for a wayward tee shot.

"I’ve lost two balls," he said. "Maybe three now."

We’ve all been there.

While head coach Jason Kidd seemed like the only member of on-court portion organization truly comfortable with clubs in his hand, the entire team did show up in some capacity, as well as some key members of the great teams from the 1970s.

As for Giannis Antetokounmpo, he tried playing last year, but opted to just mingle with the golfers in the dinner portion later.

He said he was no good at the game, and mimicked his golf swing in the dining room – "I kept hitting the ground."

I could see why.

But, he seemed amenable to giving it another go in the future. There seems to be little he can’t do on the court – the adventures of Giannis on the links could make for another viral highlight package.
