He played a sportswriter on his sitcom and worked golf into many episodes. In the trailer for his new series on TNT, “Men of a Certain Age,” he’s shown talking about the possibility of making the Champions Tour. As a 12 handicap, he’ll need some help, which he’ll be receiving soon as the new pupil of star instructor Hank Haney as part of Golf Channel’s new season of “The Haney Project.” What he means to the game: Few players in the AT&T play to the camera or the galleries as much as Romano. He’s the latest in a long line of comics that serve as ambassadors of the game by merely enjoying it a great deal. Quotable: “[My wife] likes the idea that after 21 years it’s someone else’s job to try and fix me.” — Romano, discussing his upcoming stint on “The Haney Project.” FAMOUS COMEDIANS IN GOLF: Will Ferrell | Larry David | George Lopez | Jackie Gleason | Bob Hope Kevin James | Ray Romano | Kevin Nealon | Ellen DeGeneres | Bill Murray ALSO SEE: Laughing Matters — four of the funniest golf comedies |
