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.

Does Barack Obama Play Golf?
I'm frankly still feeling too wiped out from all the election hysteria that culminated two nights ago to go through Google to find out what else the President-elect and I might have in common; hobby-wise.

But I will; and if the golf industry sees any chance to make his connection to the game a win-win in terms of publicity, it'll soon be known anyway.
For some reason, I keep envisioning Barack and Tiger Woods in a dream pairing; playing privately at Woods' Isleworth compound. Imagine the conversation, the laughs, the bets, the precious pauses.
To lighten things up on this blog, for a change, let's focus on golf. Black men who play golf. How black men play golf differently, if at all. What draws more and more black men to the fairways?
More importantly: what's the best way to get more of our black children into the game? My son is 5, so I can't get him into the First Tee program for another two years. I've tried, without pushing, to get him used to swinging clubs. But it's hard to hold his attention for more than 20 minutes.
Any suggestions?
