John Daly is tied for 17th.

I know there is another post on Daly's return but I just wanted to post an update and wish hime well. But as many on the other post had mentioned until he "admits" he has a problem...he will "NEVER" make it. I was just reading on GOLF.com where he still admits to having a beer or two....that aint going to get it with his problem....he is going to have to decide which side of the fence he wants to stand on.

You're right. Until he admits he has a problem, he won't be able to get over that problem.

He has come clean about his whiskey drinking....says it makes him crazier than a sh*thouse rat....as I understand it, he is done with hard liquor and limits himself to beer...which still gets him buzzed from time to time, but he doesn't seem to be destroying hotel rooms anymore.

BTW....fu*k all those out there with "holier than though" attitudes (not pointing the finger at anyone in particular, just in general).

Love him or hate him, John's gonna be John. He may have lost 50 pounds but he's not going to change the way he is for anyone. If he wants to play good golf again, he knows he'll have to clean up and get more serious about golf again. That doesn't mean he can't enjoy a few brews after the round, but he can't go on the all night drunken binges and expect for people to keep giving him second chances. His vulnerability is what fans are drawn to. The media presence around him means that his life is in the public eye 24/7, and many people can identify with the ups and downs he's been through in the past 3 or 4 years.

On a side note, he emailed me the other day to confirm to me that he's now signed with Adams, even if a formal announcement hasn't been made. Last week in Spain he was playing the new Speedline Driver, Idea Pro Hybrid and Idea Pro Black irons...

Well, at least you didn't leave any doubt on how you feel.

JD indeed had his act together this week. Shot 66 today and tied for second at this moment. I am surprised, but I do wish him the best going forward.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 313 - I played 18 today. First and last holes were ugly, but I actually played pretty well. Driver was great, irons were alright, and the short game was better than average.

      Day 205 (23 Nov 24) - Worked with the alignment rod and 7i  in reference to ball position in relation to lead foot on full iron shots, noticed an increase in thinned shots last couple of rounds - better contact with the balls (hard foam) during the drill/swing rehearsals.

      Which Irons?

      By iacas ·

      Have you gone to a fitting? A good fitting will not only give you a clubhead but a shaft, etc. that will suit you.

      Irons Too Nice to Use

      It's not like the Nike Vapor Pro are exactly a highly sought set of irons.

      Irons Too Nice to Use

      By Typhoon92 ·

      Last night I was putting my Nike Vapor Pro Irons back in my bag.  I had my sons i500’s in there the last couple months after we all went to Top Golf .  I picked up the Nike’s this past spring and they are like new.  I feel guilty using them… I have other irons that aren’t valuable that I could use instead.
