| Charles Barkley - The Great White Whale |
CLICK ON THE PICTURE
NEW BEDFORD, Massachusetts - Yes, "The Great White Whale" is an unusual description for Charles Barkley. Although I do think he's great; although not so much his golf swing, Charlie obviously is not caucasian nor am I implying that he's fat - so why the moniker?
As fans of American literature know, aboard the whaling schooner Pequod, Captain Ahab's greatest quest was for the Great White Whale, Moby Dick. There were plenty of other whales in the sea but for Ahab there was but a single purpose for the voyage - hunting down and killing the White Whale.
The hunt by Ahab for the White Whale has become a metaphor for every man's greatest quest. For a golf instructor that would be Charles Barkley. As in Melville's novel where it seemed that neither Ahab nor any other ship captain from Nantucket would ever harpoon and subdue Moby Dick, the likelihood of anyone straightening out Barkley's golf swing is just as remote. But for the teacher who somehow fulfills this destiny and shows Charlie the path to future fairways, his fortunes would change dramatically. Think Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are flush? Their wealth would pale against the riches of whomever manages to unravel the mystery of Barkley's ineptitude on the golf course.
A few days ago, I Twittered Charles Barkley that I'd like to use him for one of my advertisements - in particular, a photograph of the shocked look on his face after he drills a long, straight drive with his very first OVER THE TOP GOLF swing. It will depict amazement; it will show relief, and it would profit me greatly. Because unlike Captain Ahab who ultimately perished, I will have succeeded in landing the Great White Whale.
it's a whale of golf swing

Good article. As an OTG player, I can say that it is the only golf swing that would help Charles Barkley.
Charles, if you are reading this, do not let me see you playing lefty when you could be playing good. Call this guy.
ahab had better odds of killing moby dick than you do of getting barkley's attention. at this point he's just looking foolish on purpose. the ugly swing has gotten him more attention than his whole basketball career. charles barkley, yeah, the worst golf swing in the world guy, oh, he used to be a basketball player?
During my first few rounds using the OvertheTop Golf swing I'd hear snickering from my golf buddies. Among the last orders for your video were two from among those guys.
By the way, I offered to teach them but they would have mortified. I mention it because I could teach the swing as easily as you, don't you agree?
Good luck becoming the guy who fixes Charles Barkley's swing. See you on TV.

What a great nautical painting! Thanks
I am looking forward to the driving range today. The over the top golf swing has given me a lot of confidence and more distance since the ball doesn't slice any more. As time goes on I think that I will be able to hit it really long with this swing.
The standard for golf instruction is whether it works and how difficult it is to learn and maintain. I give Over the Top Golf an A+ and a thank you to Frankie C for the help.
I feel that the OVER TH E TOP GOLF SWING would be a good fit for a former athlete, if you can even call Barkley that anymore, because it's an athletic swing.
Thank you for meeting me at the St. Lucie driving range. I continued to hit good shots, hope we will meet up again.

Like the article, take it easy on Barkley.

Probably noone will click on the picture as you suggested.
I did and it's a phenominal painting.
My performance on the course should never be compromised. It requires a calm and determined demeanor. I have achieved that through, of all things, your no-brainer Over The Top Golf Swing.
