John Daly: Quit Whining and Play

Somehow it seems that everytime I try to watch golf, there’s John Daly on the tube explaining how he was wronged by the golf powers that be. Two weeks ago, he was upset about the PGA’s new cut rule that left him in the money, but off of television for the fourth and fifth rounds of the Sony Open. (Me thinks that Mr. Daly fails to open his mail from the PGA.)

Last week, he was giving a performance on the course worthy of any NBA all-star that’s trying to draw a foul. Reportedly in pain, Daly was treated at length by his therapist while he lay on the course. Eventually, he withdraw from the tournament. Several news sources, including the LA Times, reported his being well enough to enjoy reveling at the post-tournament parties.

This week, the Daly controversy stems from his not getting a sponsor’s exemption for the upcoming FBR Open in Arizona next week. It seems the last spot went to 20-year-old Jason Day.

Is it just me, or are these enough John Daly stories to last the season?
