There is no question that Hank Haney can help a mid to high handicapper improve. As can any competent teaching pro.

I think the biggest thing holding the celebs back is their practice time. These guys have extremely busy professional careers. This doesn't even speak to their family time. One has to wonder how much they really practice.

With that said, the last few episodes with the football players was worthless.

Batali is a celebrity chef and restaurant group owner. I'm not saying he doesn't put in his time, but he's not in there at 5:00 am prepping or spending much time in front of a range at this point in his career.

Though he could cook for me and I'd be glad to give him lessons. The guy is phenomenal.

Caught the Bill Cowher one last night. My favorite line from HH was, "I'm not here to take you from a 16 to a 14 handicap. I'm here to take you from a 16 to a 5 handicap." Actually had him putting with the claw grip, which I also agree with when someone has the yips. Works great. He did leave it with Cowher at the end saying next time he saw him he wanted him to be that 5 handicap. I think a lot of this stuff is on the student to use what HH is giving them and make it happen after he leaves, right or wrong.

Personally, I think it would be better if Golf Channel and the Haney Project found a regular hacker out there, not a celebrity, to focus the Haney Project on. I mean celebs are great and all, and bring in ratings, but they have acting or singing, whatever. You know how tickled pink I would be to shoot par and have Hank Haney giving me tips. I couldn't be like one of the celebrities and give a half butted effort to improve. I would want to soak up everything Hank teaches me and hopefully, play better golf. I think it would be more entertaining for GC to pick a mid handicap guy and watch the improvement. I mean, we have jobs and such, we don't get to play golf like Ray Romano and Rush do. That just my opinion anyways.
I do agree with you somewhat but I just don't know if people would watch someone they don't know take lessons.

I actually thought some of them showed a decent amount of promise considering the short amount of time... especially Broadway Joe.
