Last night was Episode One (“The Meeting”) of the Golf Channel’s original documentary The Haney Project. The show, shot mostly at the Hank Haney Golf Ranch, features the golf instructor trying to fix Charles Barkley’s golf swing. Which makes it more of a comedy than a documentary. Highlights from the episode: footage of Barkley’s shank-riffic appearances at several pro-ams; Tiger Woods’ impersonation of Barkley’s stutter swing; Barkley’s claim that he hasn’t hit the ball higher than his height in 10 years. I could do without the cutaways to a physics professor to explain what happens when you lower the fulcrum of a golf swing and a psychologist to describe what happens to someone under stress. But I’m already looking forward to Episode Two.
