John Daly Goes To The Country Music Awards...

I know, sounds like a bad joke is on the way. Seriously, was Long John nominated for one of those tasteless live renditions of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" that he performs at Make-A-Wish Foundation gatherings?

Either way, he Tweeted: "me and my best friend/gf anyone can ask for off to a great night!"

Great to see him in such spirits considering he and the girlfriend, in one of those total coincidences that only happens to people like Stefan Vanderhoof and Scott Donlan, Long John just happened to pick out the same jacket as the GF's pant pattern.

Don't you hate when this happens?

"Marty Hackel, white courtesy phone please.... Mr. Marty Hackel...."

Honestly, doesn't it look like the both of them got run over by a motorhome?

Say what you want, all you righteous hypocrites ... John Daly is the Most Interesting Man in Golf.

Stay horny, my friends!

Bill Fralic

Aside from the hideous outfit, he looks terrible. That stomach-stapling surgery has made him guant. Remember how fat he used to be? Just pathetic.

I think I'd willingly wear her pants if I could...

I thought the cig in his hand was a nice touch

Say what you will about John's adventures....his girlfriend is stunning.

Wonder how long it'll be when she starts collecting alimony checks.

Double Secret Probation

OH - Daly IS in that picture...I had to look a few times. He can go wherever he wants and wear whatever he wants...just take her along.

I just pissed myself:

"... John Daly is the Most Interesting Man in Golf."

John Daly is NOT in golf.

Run over by a motor home? He's wearing the curtains from his motor home. By the way, and feel free to be frightened, Daly has been in the studio working on a second CD. I believe the working title is, "Three Chords, Four Ex-Wives and a Six-Pack of Bud."

Mr. and Mrs. Haversham

How does he get all the cute girls? He looks like Andrew Magee now, I think.

You guys have great taste in women:

You guys who wonder how he gets the girl obviously haven't read Rick Reilly's book "Who's Your Caddy?" It will enlighten you about JD in ways you never really wanted to be enlightened.

11.17.2009 |

FWIW

I respect him as an innovator

11.17.2009 |

Good Grief. Always hated when couples wear matching outfits.

JD is not a part of the Wiserhood?

FWIW: That had occurred to me, too. Way too much information in the Daly chapter, though the book is still worth a flyer from the Remainder Table.

Is that the same girl? The Hooters girl?

Ky Laffoon's Ghost

Not many people know that the spelling has been anglicised. The family name is actually Dali.

Pickworth

I think he deserves what he gets; both good and bad. Launching a clothing line in the UK took some guts, and people do respect him over here. At least he's not as pathetic as previous, having to walk off a green with the shakes and retiring from the Canadian Open a few years ago was the low point of my golf-watching experience. Canadians, being Canadians, however, gave him a tepid round of applause.
If he's at the Open this year, I'll follow him around for a few holes.
