Minneapolis Golf Club | Bugg | Olympic Hills Golf Club | Minnesota

Kevin Garnett On The World’s Best-kept Secret

by Ashley Jude Collie

I like the Olympic Hills Golf Club. It's a mature course, one of the most challenging in Minnesota. It's extremely well kept. The greens are perfect and run true. It's gorgeous to play on. I also like Rush Creek Golf Club. It's a public course, and the USGA and other tournament events are held there. I go out there a lot. I've also heard good things about the Minneapolis Golf Club, a private club I haven't played yet.

I play golf with my friends, music producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and my boy Bugg - he's been my best friend since high school. When I go out with my guys, it gets very competitive, so [laughs] what happens on the golf course stays on the golf course. I'm very competitive in everything. That's just the way I am.

Rumor has it that you're as at home on the water as you are on the basketball court or golf course.
Well, the state does have like 10,000 lakes [laughs], and that offers a lot of water activities. And, yes, water is a huge thing for me. I love it. I like to go boating and fishing. I also have some vehicles like a WaveRunner that I take out on the water. I like all sorts of watersports, and I love to swim. In winter, I like to snowmobile.

We also hear you like to do comic im­pres­sions of people. Would you ever per­form at a comedy club?
I've always been a person who recog­nizes details about other people, their traits, their personalities. So I can sort of copy them after I meet or listen to them. But, no [laughs], I'm not ready to take my act on the road.

In your spare time you've also been work­ing on creating a clothing line called OBF (Official Block Family). Can you give us an update on that?
