It’s well-known that Charles Barkley has perhaps the worst golf swing in the history of man, and who better than Tiger Woods’ swing coach to restore some swagger to Sir Charles’ swing?
“The Haney Project” is an unscripted reality show that follows Charles Barkley as Hank Haney attempts to turn Barkley’s tomahawk chop into a Tiger Woods-esque whack. Check out the promo video above to see what a colossal endeavor this will entail.
While Haney’s star pupil Tiger Woods returned from his hiatus and was eliminated in the second round of the Accenture Match Play Championship, Charles Barkley poses a far more ambitious challenge to the swing coach. At least the Round Mound of Rebound’s self-deprecating humor will make the time fly by.
