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).

"Getting paired with you is the equivalent to a two-stroke penalty to your playing competitors"  -- Sean O'Hair to Rory Sabbatini (Zurich Classic, 2011)


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...

In my Srixon staff bag:

Driver: Titleist 909D2 8.5 - Grafalloy Epic X
Fairway: Adams RPM LP 13 degree - Grafalloy Epic X

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.

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
