Can Charles Barkley's Swing Be Saved?

Maybe Charles Barkley deserves DUI suspicion every time he gets behind the wheel of a golf cart, ot to speak of his now infamous Infiniti SUV.

How else to explain a golf swing so ugly that Golf Digest magazine is devoting a six-page, March '09 cover story to it, and The Golf Channel is launching an entire "reality" series showing a vain attempt by the game's top swing coach to perform a miracle makeover with Sir Charles.



"The Haney Project
" premieres March 2, and promises to be funnier than Chris Rock in concert. In it, Barkely _ who took a furlough from his gig as an NBA studio analyst for TNT after his New Year's Eve '08 DUI arrest in Arizona _ submits himself to the humiliation we've all felt at some time. Hank Haney plays Dean Martin to Barkley's Jerry Lewis.

The series shows how the Round Mound of Rebound is more likely to punish one of his Nike Sasquatch (to the point of shattering one) than he is the One ball. Regardless of whether Haney succeeds in fixing the impossibly bad swing, it's a reminder to the rest of us to get our kids involved in the First Tee program
with the quickness.
