Vince Carter may be the NBA's elder statesman, but he's out to prove that no one is ever too old to try something new.
The Kings swingman will get to show off his golf swing next week, when he participates in the American Century Championship for the first time.
Carter, 41, joins a field in the celebrity tournament that is loaded with athletes, actors and notable names. This year's event, the 29th annual, features several athletes with Northern California ties, including two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, Sacramento native Natalie Gulbis and Mark Mulder, the current three-time champion who was a two-time All-Star in five seasons with the A's.
