JD continues to get exemptions because hes popular and brings crowds to events that normally wouldnt draw. remember that JD is the one guy capable of putting up 90 and then the next day shooting 63

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

Butch-at least with the common courtesy and with his reputation should have had the repect and decency to call John Daly and tell him about the split man to man...Instead Butch decided to let loose his ego and publicly humiliate the guy...I dont know about you but if this happened to me i wouldnt want to find out by reading about myself in the local paper the next morning. I mean the least he could have done is texted J.D.

And I would suggest that a little public humiliation is, at this point, warranted and perhaps required. JD is surrounded by enablers who do everything they can to hide John's gaffes from the public.

And Butch has to look out for himself, too. Who knows what kind of B.S. would have spread had Butch not taken the route he took.

No, he's not, and lately he barely gets the chance to shoot the 63 the next day because he either fails to show up, he withdraws, or if that "next day" is on Saturday he's already missed the cut.

JD is a draw for negative reasons. He's a circus act. Hell, he's worse than inviting Michelle Wie to your event - at least she tried and didn't crap on sponsors by WDing, suing, or failing to show up for a pro-am.

Didn't Wie have one WD - and then showed up practicing a day or two later?

Still, it was - to the best of my memory - a one time thing and not a pattern of behavior. And I agree with the overall message: if you give Wie an invite, especially to a men's event, she's going to show up and give it her all.

On the LPGA Tour. I was suggesting that sponsor's exemptions for Wie on the PGA Tour were less of a waste than giving them to JD. And they were a waste on Wie, so that tells you how I feel about giving them to JD.

Still, it was - to the best of my memory - a one time thing and not a pattern of behavior.

Also true.

And I agree with the overall message: if you give Wie an invite, especially to a men's event, she's going to show up and give it her all.

Whereas John won't, and may even sue you a year later for it.

Right. I knew I was missing a detail. Thanks.

does anyone know what JD has been up to since the Arnold Palmer event?..where is he playing next?

Not Puerto Rico ; he was invited but declined? I'm not sure I remember the details.

Watching Daly play golf and live his life is a bit like watching the Jerry Springer show. You want to turn the channel but you also want to see what is going to happen next. Heck, he might be on one of these days.

Now THAT is rock bottom.

I still love watching Big John off the tee box. I just think he sucks with the putter. It almost looks like he could careless about that part of the game.

I dont think JD will make the cut...Although the Zurich is a tournament i thought he would have done well in considering his length off the tee

Can JD make the cut in New Orleans?

He hasn't posted a score for the 1st hole today (Friday) yet, so I guess it's fair to offer my opinion at this point.

Yes - he can make the cut, but, I don't think he will. After the 1st round he was T-73 (or something in that area) & was right on the "projected" cut line. It will take a pretty good round today for him to make the cut.

I have a hunch he will make the cut, looked like he had a double bogey yesterday on a par 3 though...

Daly misses cut by six strokes - shoots 73-77 at Zurich Classic of N'awlins.

Not even close...
