Lol yes, I always imagine that person wearing light colored pants, a grey shirt, and a Ping hat... 😂
I like the way Charles appreciates sports he didn’t grow up playing. He champions and respects hockey and golf, and probably others as well. A true and respectful athlete.

KB was very much the same. Miss seeing his cameo at the olympics.
Stan Utley fixed what Hank Haney couldn't.
I cannot believe the flow in Charles Barkley’s swing now. Those wedges were just gorgeous.

Never would’ve thought this was possible. Very happy for him. It’s a different world now.
This is the best advice I've ever heard on how to hit a golf ball. I love when Chuck realized what he needs to do. 😂
Legit so Proud of Charles for sticking with it and transforming his game. Inspiration to us all!
that was a very chilled out 21 mins
Stan Utley is the Harvey Penick of this era. Simple but wise intellect into the golf swing. Awesome!

Unbelievable accomplishments for Charles, and he needed a teacher like Stan - perfect description saying he is like Harvey Penick - they are "Golf Whispers"
nothing makes me happier than seeing Charles flush golf balls. It was hard to watch Bark a decade ago

For a former athlete his swing was atrocious, but this is a sea change.
Chuck said he had both of his hips replaced. Much of his former problems were probably due to his old hip joints being stiff and probably painful. That had to have killed his flow. But even with new hips, he is employing better technique now, and Stan has really helped him with that. This is a very informative video, but it is also very enjoyable to see a guy that most of us think of as a friend we've never actually met, finally find success at an activity that we all enjoy so much.

You said it
These sounds off the club were… PURE!! Chuck is something else. What a great game golf is.
Stan Utley is the man.
little thoughts like 'the fling' really go a long way - will definitely be trying that on my next outing
Way to go Charles, you've got the respect of a multitude of golfers. Your fortitude to stick with something, and stand tall while the troubles were going on in that swing of yours, are to be admired. Your swing is fantastic now.
I so love Charles. What a great guest, great host, great person. It is so wonderful he has embraced golf and now drives it further than most of us. Keep on keeping on Charles!
Swing the clubhead end fast not the handle end, golden advice! So in the downswing after you shift your pressure into your left foot the clubhead is the furthest behind and needs to travel the farthest. You get the clubhead to catchup with your arms and your body by releasing it early. The clubhead traveling faster than the butt as the club passes you at the bottom so the club head leads the club after impact and the club turns your body past square not your body turn towing the club behind the body. The club swinging past turns you so much easier in both directions as opposed to trying to turn your body fast to swing the club.
I miss his old swing

Never seen Chuck so happy hitting golf balls before! Way to go Chuck, glad you're enjoying the game
Chuck has learned a lot. His Golf IQ has tremendously increased.
There is a lot of good knowledge here that I needed to hear! Thank you both.
I've been playing for 3 years now. I consider myself pretty athletic for 53 and have a long way to go but understanding the "fling" is key. I like what Stan said about the hands vs wrist lever. Such a key moment for me to realize on my own and a game changer for a beginner when improving distance with irons.
That is so awesome to see Charles. You are a completely different golfer, so much better. It gives me hope for me honestly. Thing of beauty!
Nice to see Charles hitting it so good and he is probably the best interview around, he’s great
Never thought I'd see the day. How on earth did Stan Utley fix Chuck's broken swing, will always be beyond me
This is incredible progress. I got to meet him at the 3M Open. Chuck is such an awesome dude. I am really happy he can truly enjoy the game now.
Charles has a lot to be proud of with where he has ended up with a proper golf swing that fits him and his body. Well done Charles.
Quality content, quality gentlemen. Thanks for this.
Man I love Charles and his passion for the game
Charles is the best. What a good golf instructor. Glad to see the improvements
What a great video! Simple concepts with awesome results! Good thing Chuck said he’s not going to LIV, there were speculations out there. Glad he cleared it up
Congrats Charles....your swing is beautiful....glad you're enjoying the game now...keep it up!
That was amazing! Charles is a great student and Utley is obviously quite the teacher.
It is amazing to see his transformation and you can see how he loves the game again. It gives me hope that I can get my swing back.
Good to see Sir Charles enjoying golf!!
Great job by Stan on just simply getting the clubface more square in the downswing and not changing that backswing all that much. Looks very much like Craig Stadler. Made it functional enough to play
This episode was awesome to view my first video I've watched on ur golf digest channel loved it Charles and Stan there chemistry and the coaching tips he gives and to watch Charles excel at golf and correct his swing it was a joy to watch
I enjoyed watching this video. It's great to see Chuck being able to truly have fun playing golf (again). I don't think people really understand how bad it is to fix the yips or a very broken swing. The amount of time he had to put in and the level of mental fortitude needed to push through the jokes, frustration, and bad shots is commendable.
Watch the transformation of Charles swing over the years is inspiring, great job Charles
What an incredible change in his swing and ball striking! Very impressed.
In the 80's his poster was on my room's wall. Love the guy, and both of us in golf now. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Charles!!! I am impressed with your improvement. Keep on keeping on!! 😊
This video was great!
im happy to see charles doing so well
Stan is the man. I love these guys, brilliant video
They need the Match. Jordan vs. Barkley.

As a fan of Chuck's since Auburn Basketball .. I am happy to see him happy with his Golf swing. Congrats and Enjoy Chuck!
It’s nice to see Charles hitting the ball so well
I learned a thing or two for myself. Thanks Stan
Gotta love Charles and this makes me feel like I’m get better at my game
Quality content. New swing looking much better mister Chuck!
This was very peaceful. Chuck is such a joyful guy.
Expert teaching and the only thing more impressive is how great of a student Chuck is. This video is awesome.
Charles, I'm amazed!😮
Chuck improved soo much! 😮 great job! 👏
I love Stan's teaching concepts and style. He reminds me of legendary coach Manuel de la Torre, but with more of a laid back demeanor.
Charles Barkley is a national treasure.
This is such a great video on so many levels lol
Hit down to make it go up? That's closely related to "you have to take a divot to compress it correctly. Love all the catch phrases in this game. Tremendous transformation Chuck & Stan. Good video.
If a Barkley can do it... 😃 Charles and Stan deserve to be called Golf Player and Golf Coach of the Decade, I reckon 👍
That last drive smoked. Good job teacher!!
“Charles doesn’t swing like that anymore” is what i have to keep reminding people
Can’t believe how Charles has developed his swing, if you are a golfer you know what he has done I am so happy for him you can see the confidence
That swing at 17:45 was smooth as silk, especially compared to yippity skibbity 10 years ago. Love it
Shocked! At his swing now, shocked!
wow charles barkley really improved his swing, it used to look awful with a weird hitch in it. bravo man!!!
This incredible teacher got me heading to the range
Chuck hitting a 3 wood off the deck first try. Dude has legitimately become a good amateur golfer by now.

Charles is obviously one of the hardest working people around. To have developed such a beautiful swing requires many hours
Bravo Charles and coach
Charles’ swing looks great!
Awesome transformation. His lower body moves soooo much better now. For me that’s the key.
Great video ... way to go, Charles! Does the wrist action mentioned refer to the point of impact or the point of release slightly later or something else altogether?
That’s amazing.
Impressive team - made success all day!
swinging great Charles very impressive
So happy for Chuck! 💪😎👍
I couldn't of clicked this video any faster. Chuck i love ya man but you give us all hope on the course 😂😂😂my grandmother with a walker said "if chuck can do it. i can do it." Ping helped my swing too don't worry you not alone chuck. Us tall people got it rough 😂😂😂
What an impressive improvement
Makes me smile seeing Charles be able to get rid of his Yips, and be able to enjoy the game of golf again!
Chuck!!! You pounding the ball bruh! Love it. Tell Shaq to get some of that LOL...
I know nothing about basketball not big here in U.K, but i know Charles is a top bloke,love his enthusiasm😂
Charles your swing has improved alot
Glad to see Chuck playin better. Dont watch the NBA, but I could watch his TNT shows for hours:-)
My gosh, crisp shots, it is a Christmas miracle........wow.
We need more barkley golf content por favor golf digest
I can't believe what I am seeing. That swing not only works - it's nice.
Seriously feels like I’m getting the best private lesson right now… I see the same mistakes I do… this video has something for all of us.
His hits sound so good.
Bravo Sir Charles…
Stan is great coach, I watched his video with grant horvat and it’s brilliant
Of all the famous people in the world, you can't help but like Charles.
15:30 is a great definition Stan makes a great statement
That commercial with David Robinson is a classic, "that's you, Chuck.."
Stan is the man.
Wow, his swing has definitely improved 🙂
Great swings
Chuck the swing is looking good my man.
