The Haney Project is a reality television series on Golf Channel that premiered in 2009. The show features golf coach Hank Haney as he takes on famous athletes, celebrities, and other public figures to help improve their golf game. The show's first season features NBA legend Charles Barkley as he works with Haney to try to improve his notoriously bad golf swing. Barkley, who is known for his on-court success, has struggled with golf throughout his life and is desperately seeking guidance to help him become a better golfer.

Throughout the season, viewers watch as Barkley undergoes intense training sessions with Haney and works to overcome the mental blocks that have prevented him from improving his swing. The show also features regular updates on Barkley's progress and his interactions with other famous athletes who offer advice and support.

One of the most compelling aspects of The Haney Project is the way it delves into the mental and emotional aspects of the sport. Golf is notoriously challenging, both physically and mentally, and the show does an excellent job of showing viewers how even the slightest mental roadblocks can prevent a golfer from reaching their full potential.

In addition to Barkley, the first season of The Haney Project also features appearances by Philadelphia radio personality Preston Elliot, who works with Haney to improve his own golf game. Throughout the season, Elliot works alongside Barkley and offers his own insights and commentary on the challenges of improving one's golf game.

Overall, The Haney Project is a must-watch for any golf fan or anyone who enjoys watching celebrities take on new challenges. With its compelling mix of golf instruction, personal stories, and lighthearted humor, the show is an entertaining and informative look at the world of golf and the challenges that come with trying to improve one's game.

The Haney Project is a series that is currently running and has 5 seasons (40 episodes). The series first aired on February 19, 2009.
