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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

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.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
