John Daly opened with a round of 72 at the AT&T.; He played Pebble Beach today and in typical fashion started with bogey, eagle, par, birdie on the first four holes.
He managed to hit 8 of 13 fairways and his longest drive of the day measured 331 yards.
His avg drive distance was 304.5 and he hit 10 GIR. Not a bad start but he trails by 7 shots after one round.
Let's toast a diet coke for luck

Big John fired another even round of par today at Spyglass Hill which included 12 pars, 3 birdies and 3 bogeys. A much nicer round than the up and down first round. He managed not to have a double bogey today and should be around for the weekend.

Cheers to the Lion!
The Diet Coke toast must have worked!

When did Ford pay off his gambling debts? Was this recent? As for JD he is one of my favorite people in all of golf, I love watching him and seeing him do well. Tiger said it himself once, that John Daly is the most talented guy in the game of golf and if he committed himself there is no telling what this guy can do. When Daly won the PGA in 91 at Crooked Stick he donated approx 30,000 of his winnings to a family nearby because one of the family members had been struck by lightning. I dont know the full story on that but I know that is what he donated. Watching him and Tiger in that playoff either last year or the year before (cant remember when), when Daly missed that three footer, that was awesome to watch them two. Anyway I hope he does well, most golf fans love this guy.

'05 WGC invitational i believe, very entertaining stuff to watch Daly go shot for shot with Tiger. Unfortunate it ended like it did.

I find John Daly really repulsive. I wouldn't want to hang around with him; I wouldn't want to play golf with him. I'd be afraid he'd have a heart attack, and he'd blame me for it!!

The greatest golfer in the history of the 1300 block of Patricia Avenue!


I like John, hes just a regular joe. I heard that he is now concentrating on golf and thats it. I want to see him win more, now that he split up with his wife he can concentrate on putting and the short game more. I liked his show too, very funny.

I seriously doubt Long John is "concetrating of golf and thats it". My guess is he's concentrating on beer, booze, cigarettes and gluttony and probably a few other things. That being said, I like the guy and hope he does get his game back. I'm not betting the house on it, however.

As Erik Barzeski pointed out ealier, he is trying to reconcile with wife #4 which will not help his golf game at all. His personal life is still a mess. He needs to get his weight under control and this might be a great time to change that back breaking swing of his into a more fluid and reliable swing.

I'm still pulling for him and it's starting to feel like my love affair with the Raiders. I love them too even though I know they SUCK!

From what Ive heard coming from JD himself, the swing actually helps his back because he says he feels more loose when he swings like he does. He says that when he tries to stop the club on the backswing, thats when he hurts his back. Seems odd, I know. He is currently tied for 33rd at Riviera, lets hope he makes the cut. He reminds me of Mike Tyson, what could have been. Although Tyson was way ahead in his sport then Daly is, but Daly has all the potential in the world.

Looks like John will make his second cut of the year!
He fired a -1 in round one of the Nissan and a +1 in round two.
Todays round was a little shaky though with 3 birds, 2 bogeys and a double.
I hope he can hold it together......cheers

    • True, true. I should do that. He really did go off during that run, I remember now. Appreciate the context. 
    • I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude.  Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering.  Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that. 
    • Yea I admit too I had more of a 2nd round evaluation on him, where I wrote in my notes "Maybe Geno Smith" after watching a couple games. Too many screens, too many sacks, awkward throwing motion at times, low velocity at times. Too low. At other times though I thought he made some nice throws, hence why I thought he should've probably gone around round two. So to me the free fall is surprising to an extent, but of course, it all makes sense now that he's still sitting there. He probably bombed his interviews too, and I know almost nothing of his personality. I love sports betting, hence why I love following this stuff, but there's only so much I can know from the outside looking in. But yea, my 2nd round guess was smart to an extent, but also bad now that he's still on the board and it's pick 4.17 at the moment. I see. Thanks for the take, I know you watch every game of theirs.  I just watched some of the Penn State game and can see both the upside and why he's still available. But I can get on board as well that Howard has more upside than Sanders too. Tougher competition, showed some growth from K-State to Ohio State.  I guess the question marks with Howard are processing and accuracy. Yea especially for us as fans. We don't get to interview these guys or talk to their college coaches to get a better idea of what they'll be like to work with everyday. We don't know who will end up being more durable and whose body will just naturally break down over the next few years. Some guys are great talents who go to terrible situations too, who are poor system fits in failed regimes. Other guys hit the jackpot with the perfect role on a great team in a weak division. There are so many variables.
