I wouldn't consider myself a John Daly fan, but I would like to see him get his life in order and get back to playing good golf. That being said, I will not watch another episode of this series. They lost me in the first 30 seconds where Daly looks into the camera and his voiceover says, "It's hard being John Daly." Then he went on to mention how he had to sell BOTH his hummer and his Maybach. Yes, clearly very tough. I'll root for him to get his life in order, but don't ask me to feel sorry for all your problems when they are self-made.

Three lousy shots and one brilliant shot can still make par...

Yes, I saw it and I must say he looks terrible!. I would guess that it is only a matter of time befre he spins ou of cntrol. I hope I am proven wrong. He has soo much natural ability and it's wasted.

I don't even plan to watch it. Ever. Any of it.

As a journalist and forum captain you should probably watch it, as work related.

I watched it again and changed my mind a bit...JD is going through lapband and eye surgery trying to get things on the right track....I thought he was pretty humble in the first show, besides dropping autograph signings at the "peoples" feet....he needs to work on that...maybe sign a few and then politely decline the others and just say " I got to practice for the round"..or something like that. Why do I like him??.... Because he is the longshot that was not bred into golf. He dug it out of the dirt. As a 9th alternate in the PGA he hit the shot in that tourney, which most alternates dream of. So I guess sort of the Paul Bunyan of golf? I do wish him well, hope he wins, and has a more positive influence on the game. Yes...I'm a "The Glass is Half Full" guy.....

It was better than watching a bunch of wanna-be's try and hit flop shots over a piece of plywood....big break sucks. The tournaments, highlights, instructional shows, and golf central are worth watching. The rest of the programming sucks.

I will probably watch the show as long as they limit him strumming those cheese soaked 3 chord "its hard being me" excuses for music he does. Seeing that group of ya'hoo inbreds he hangs out with, its no wonder he is so screwed up. I think Crash Davis put it best when refering to Nuke Lalush in Bull Durham when he said "he's got a million dollar arm and a 10 cent head", Daly has a million dollar game and a crushed beer can head.

You either love John Daly or hate him, as this thread clearly states. I love him, and itss way more interesting than watching Hank Haney swing a 2 foot plastic pipe with a line down the side claiming its going to revolutionize your swing mechanics.

John Daly is rotten for being an alcoholic? How about Tiger for blowing up his families piece of mind, shaming his kids and wife....?

I was excited about the show before it started - I didn't know too much about JD, just the highlights, but I thought he seemed like a cool guy, sort of like a blue collar, working-man's golfer. However, after seeing the show my opinion is 100% changed. He is a whiny loser who surrounds himself with "yes" people and groupies. He is completely delusional about the fact that he is trying to get his life together - getting lapband surgery and switching to light beer, what an inspiration to us all! If he doesn't get his way, he whines and quits like some sort of hollywood Diva.

JD is an unbelievable jackass. Thanks to "Being John Daly" for making that so clear.

I was ok with the show, I did see once episode where he donated a part of his winings to a girl that just lost her dad somewhere in Europe and now she is going to college with the investment of his donation which was about $40,000 and invested well, now pay for her college. It was a touching story.

John Daly has so much talent it sad that he has not continued to use his talent in a positive way. I think he needs a mentor to help guide him through life.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously?? 
    • I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
