The source of people's animosity towards JD is that they are jealous of his talents and abilities? Or that he pissed away that talent and ability? Whatever. The source of people's animosity towards JD is the fact that he behaves like a buffoon on and off the course. Maybe this article will provide some perspective on what an embarrassment and a train wreck JD is...... http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/35671943/ns/sports-golf/ Also take a read of the one first hand reader comment to this other article: http://www.linkslifegolf.com/2009/01...he-common-man/ As you can see a picture of JD emerges that makes him an embarrassment to the tour. Has he turned his life around? Perhaps, but considering his most recent lawsuit of the Honda Classic and the children's charity associated with the tournament leads me to believe otherwise.

It seems that you and others don't like Daly because he doesn't conform to your idea of a tour pro. He doesn't kiss sponsor's rear ends and he doesn't dress like country club pro or have a corporate haircut. So what? Yes he's had a lot of personal issues but I'd guess he has issues with obsessive compulsive behavior and may be bipolar. Certainly he didn't grow up a wealthy country club player.

I could do without his childish behavior and assault issues for sure.
