Imagine you’re 6-feet-4-inches, bald, sweaty and your stomach looks like an inside-out wok.
To top it off, you have the worst golf swing in the history of mankind.
Officially.
You would probably be loving life right about now. You would be the Chuckster — Charles Barkley.
First of all, you didn’t have to “expect the max,” you’re the Chuckster. Three days in tent city sure beats 10.
And even your biggest flaw, your golf swing, is making you money. Yes, Barkley now has his own reality TV show.
It’s on the Golf Channel. Many people may have skipped over it, because it’s titled “The Haney Project.”
The show gets unbridled access to Barkley’s life, from his house to the TNT studios, but is centered around that nasty hiccup — or seven — that is a part of his golf swing.
“The great” Hank Haney, as Barkley calls him, is a world-renowned golf teacher. Haney works with Tiger, but now he has to fix the most hideous thing in sports.
It can get repetitive, but just the spectacle of Barkley himself is hilarious.
