The John Daly Report.

[Cleveland Gunmetal]

What a shocker... John Daly withdrew. That's 4 WD's and 5 made cuts this year.

[iacas]

I read his book and all it did was turn me off to him even more. It's not worth the paper it's printed on.

I'd say more than decent. Wouldn't be surprised if he turned in an 80 in the heat this afternoon though. I hope not, golf tournaments are just more exciting when he's in contention, especially in a major.

C'mon John! Don't melt down.

OK, that's taken care of!

OK, that's still doable at this point!

67 and three 73's... 32nd I think. Considering everything that's a nice showing for JD.

What's more of a surprise is the fact he actually survived 4 days in that heat on cigarettes and diet cokes.

[Q.Q.Quillume]

So, when does Long John get to tee it up again in an official PGA event?

[Q.Q.Quillume]

September 20, 2007: Daly is entered in the Turning Stone Resort Championship. He tees off on #1, making par on 1, 2, 3, & 5 and bogey on 4, 6 & 7. So what does Daly do at that point? Buckle down and try to make a couple of birdies? Heck no, not Big John. He withdraws, of course.

[BASHERBAKER69]

when is JDs next event?

I think Long John will have another dismal season on the PGA Tour in '07. My prediction does NOT mean I'm pulling against him, just being realistic.

This is what I said 14 months ago; since then J.D. seems to have been on a runaway freight train going straight downhill.

[BASHERBAKER69]

sadly, we could be talking about his serious ill health by the end of the season unless he has a quiet word with himself.

Sadly John Daly is close to what went on in the 70's. A lot of the players had the same lifestyle as John. Remember Johhny Miller talking about not knowing if your caddy was going to show up or not. Lets put it into perspective...heres what went on that you didnt hear..

this article was with a thread you tried to post earlier that was shut down unforunately.

Who remembers the good old days?...you could drink yourself in to the ground and drive home and there was little the authorities could do about it...until you mowed down a family on the pavement or crashed in to a ditch.

i don't think there's anything cool about drinking and driving- my advice is..if you see someone doing it call the police-you re doing the driver a favour and the general public a favour.

JD will probably be a well remembered golfing legend who tragically passed away in 10 to 15 years time...due to liver failure.

Im just saying that i never knew roger maltbie did that. I was really shocked. I mean he literally could have lost his winnings while drinking. Thats pretty extreme because the paychecks back then were really small-and imagine trying to support yourself.
