Sir Charles In Charge...

Look out Vijay... There's a golfer out there hitting more balls than you.

For two hysterical days, I had the opportunity to eavesdrop as Hank Haney coached one of the most famous athletes of our generation. No, not the guy you think. Over the past few months, Haney and 11-time NBA All Star Charles Barkley have been working to fix what everyone agrees is the worst swing in golf. The entire journey is part of an upcoming show on Golf Channel. And Men's Journal magazine sent me to Atlanta check in on them for an upcoming article.

How's it coming? There's plenty to say, but you'll have to wait. Until then, here's a sneak peek at a couple of Charles' better moments. And no, there was no trick photography at work here...

wow - that's a pretty good Barkley costume. Who did they get to wear it so his swing would look that good ? :-)

That's looking pretty darn good.

If Haney can fix THAT swing, he could be declared the greatest swing instructor of all time.

No more pause mid-downswing? That was a money move; Haney should have left it in.

Great, now an army of Tiger clones.
