With all the news this week surrounding John Daly I just have to say a few things. I would like to start off saying that I am a huge fan of John and may be a little biased. The news today says that John got turned down by the FBR open for a sponsors exemption. They instead gave it to Jason Day the new "IT" player that nobody wants to follow pass the first tee. If anybody ahs ever had the chance to follow John in a tournament then you would understand why the sponsors want him to play. He has a crowd as large as Tiger everytime he plays. John could be 30 over par and people would still follow. Tournaments make a killing when he shows. The FBR has screwed up big time on this one. This is a huge financial blunder considering all the press John is getting lately. Every tournament director should have John on their list, bottom line. What he does in his spare time is his business. Last weekend was one of the biggest and laid back tournaments of the year. I would have been hanging from every celebrity ceiling fan I could find, get a few winks, stagger to the teebox and knock down a 3 iron stinger up the left side. Do your thing John its who you are and some of us can't get enough of it. Listen to Butch and get that tempo in HARMONy, harmony get it. Butch Harmon...harmony get it. Oh well I thought it was clever.
On a sad note:
Tour caddie Steve Duplantis was killed today when he was struck by a taxi cab while crossing the street in San Diego. Steve was only 35.
