The Ubiquitous Hank Haney?
For a man who doesn't think much of the media, it's just heartwarming to see Hank Haney making the rounds now to talk about Tiger. First there was the call in to Alan Shipnuck, then now he's on FanHouse, then yapping it up with Golf.com's Connell Barrett and finally, doing Ryan Ballengee's podcast.
But it wasn't until Monte Burke nabbed Haney for Forbes.com that the truth came out.
You recently became the spokesperson for Charles Schwab's ( SCHW - news - people ) retirement services. Are there parallels between golf instruction and retirement advice?
There are lots of parallels. The most important thing you can have is a plan, whether that's for your investments or your golf game. You have to be patient. Both require longterm approaches. There are ups and downs, and you can't get too high with the ups or too low with the down.
After that, don't ever tell me this blog fails to provide you with useful information. Ever!

I just ran Haney's statement through the International BS Translator...
Are there parallels between golf instruction and retirement advice?
Haney: "Well, there is for ME. With this sponsorship, MY retirement is a bit more secure. And no - I can't fix your slice."
If Hank Haney is so good and such a genius...how could he not immediately recognize that Charles Barkely's main issue is between his ears. The guy is an amazing athlete and something in his mind keeps him from letting his swing loose. When he does let it loose, he is amazing. 330+ drives right down the pipe.
I just don't get it.
Good thing Tiger is the mentally strongest player in the history of golf!
