Mario Chalmers envisions a day he’ll tee it up and blast at least a few drives at his annual charity golf tournament.

“I do golf. I’ve been practicing. I’ve been doing a little ‘Topgolf’ here lately. I may do a little something sometime. I can’t hit this year. I’ve got to wait until everything goes through with Memphis,” Chalmers, a former Kansas basketball guard and nine-year NBA veteran said Monday from The Jayhawk Club, formerly known as Alvamar Golf Club.

Chalmers, 31, is coming off 17-month rehab following Achilles tendon surgery and is set to resume his NBA career on a one-year contract with the Memphis Grizzlies after a full year off.
