Hank Haney = FAIL

Hank Haney is one of, if not THE, top golf swing coaches in the world. How do I know this? He coached Tiger Woods, and that's enough of an endorsement for me. But it would appear that the guy who could breakdown and rebuild Tiger's swing can't fix Charles Barkley's swing. Exhibit A:



This is from a recent event, AFTER Barkley was showcased on the Golf Channel's The Hank Haney Project. Question- what in God's name would possess someone, anyone, to stand in front of Barkley while on the tee? At that point, you're just asking to get hit, which is exactly what happens in the video. Its good to know that no matter how bad I may be a golf, there's always someone worse, that someone is Charles Barkley.

its unfair to say haney failed. i don't think anyone, including haney, can take a 30+ handicapper and, in 8 months, make him a scratch golfer.

but haney has helped barkley. barkley just can't help himself from (frequently) reverting to old habits.
