Truth & Rumors: Michael Phelps can't wait to play golf

Posted at 12:15 PM by Ryan Reiterman | Categories: Colonial, Golf Channel, Rory McIlroy, Truth & Rumors

Michael Phelps is getting ready for his final Olympic games before he hangs up his Speedo, and he already knows what he wants to do after he gets out of the pool. According to ESPN's Rick Reilly, Phelps is going to play a lot of golf.

The Human Fish is ready to try land.

"I want to play all the great (golf) courses," says the 26-year-old Phelps, who is even taking lessons from Hank Haney. "(Bowman) gave me a poster with the 100 greatest courses in the world on it, and every time I play one, I put a little pin in it."

How many pins so far?

"Zero."
