Most golfers on tour generally head out of town after slamming their trunks on Friday afternoon. Whether it's to spend a few days with the family, get a jump on the next tournament, or just to get as far away as possible from the course where they just missed the cut, it's a weekly ritual on the PGA. Unless, of course, you're John Daly, who has made missing cuts something of a pastime. I mentioned a few days ago that during a rain delay at this week's PODS Championship, Daly hightailed it to the Hooters Owl's Nest tent, just off the 17th hole, to wait out the weather.
Well, after missing the cut by roughly a mile, Daly could be found ... at the Hooters Owl's Nest downing beers. Obviously, there's nothing wrong with a grown man having a few pops, but because we're talking about Daly -- a guy who can't have just a few of anything -- it becomes a story.
Despite Daly's recent on-course struggles, he's still wildly popular, primarily because of his Joe Six-Pack shtick and the fact that he can bomb a golf ball 350 yards down the fairway. And if ever there was a place perfectly suited for Daly, it was the Hooters Owl's Nest:
The golfing Buddha also willingly autographed Trinity resident Kim Geiger's jeans, who bent over and offered her backside as his canvas.And some people think Daly doesn't have any game. Kim Geiger and her butt disagree.
"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."

Seriously?C'mon, on a day where yet another NFL player is being accused of abusing a woman, you are going to harp on Daly for doing what most other PGA players will not...mingle with his fans.

John was/is a great golfer. Many people would give a million dollars to drive the ball and play like he is capable of playing.
He has an addiction problem that is keeping him from realizing his true potential in life and golf. If he ever conquers his demons and gets back to being the fantastic golfer of the past it would make many people very happy.
Until then he is just another drunk on the golf course. We don't need them and it is bad for the game.

Who cares what John Daly does when he is off the course. It's no worse than what all my golfing buddy's do once the round is over. Is this double standard needed?
