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

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
