A Day At The Hooter's Owl's Nest With John Daly!

img10697926.jpgAnwar Richardson reported on John Daly's visit to the Hooter's Owl's Nest, which included this bizarre photo slideshow and accompanying audio where you can hear John sloshed.

The Richardson piece prompted Steve Elling to suggest that Tim Finchem be Dean Wormer to John Daly's Kent Dorfman.

From the Richardson write-up:

Daly, whose best finish this year was tied for 60th in the Mayakoba Golf Classic, and his associates gave a news photographer who tried to take photos of him the middle finger. One member of Daly's group mooned the photographer, resulting in boyish laughter from his group.

The golfing Buddha also willingly autographed Trinity resident Kim Geiger's jeans, who bent over and offered her backside as his canvas.

"I go, 'Here I am again. I'm your worst nightmare.' He goes, 'Oh no you're not, honey. As a matter of fact, I like it when you walk away,'" Geiger said. "He goes, 'I like your butt. I'm an butt man.' He goes, 'And you have a nice butt.' Yeah baby, he likes my butt."

Where's the photos and audio?

What are we to think, if, at the conclusion of the events of the past week, John Daly is somehow disciplined by the PGATour, but Tripp Isenhour is not?

More likely scenario, it would appear: no disciplinary sanction for either player from the Tour. Indeed, if I were in charge of disciplining Daly, I might wonder, "What do we 'charge' him with? Second-degree loutish behavior? Misdemeanor conversion of a mullett haircut into action? Felonious good-ol'-boy?"

In Daly's case, a more interesting storyline might be; who are his best friends, and what are they saying to John?

What's the PGA Tour turned into? This is now the norm most weeks.

I'm not a fan of John Daly by any means, but we seem to be unable to decide what we want in golf. John isn't polished, for sure, but he's alot closer to the classic golf pro of the 1950s than are players like Sean O'Hair, Zach Johnson, et al. At least I think he is. So what do people really want? A boring, robotic golfer with altar boy virtues, or a lout who likes to have fun and mix with people?

The media scrutiny in 1950 is nothing like it is today. If Arnie went out and got loaded and signed his name on some girls boobs, we didn't read about it or see video of it on You Tube.

I never knew there was a "Hooters Owls' Nest."

It must be part of the PGATour's ongoing commitment to avian raptors. Like, for instance, Red-shouldered hawks...

John is clearly a Babe Ruth larger than life man. I hope he is with us a long time and finds a way to arrest his demons. I feel he is a lion who is wanting his courage back and is struggling to find it amongst many detours. Via con dios John, Jay
