Golf's what could have been.......

Forget about the fact that he is a professional golfer. John Daly is above all a human being. Taking into account his latest transgression, John is so beloved by his fans whether they like golf or not. Why do we love him so much? The answer is simple. He exemplifies the average "Joe or Jane". He has issues. Some if these issues are not easily handled no matter what our stature in society is. Unfortunately John's life is on display for all of us to witness. From the time he had the shakes on the course to the more recent incident where Butch Harmon fired him as a client.

I personally felt like Mr. Harmon was a little out of line. If you have a domestic issue, you handle it at home. Does John need to be outed? Maybe he does, but unless Mr. Harmon has a degree in psychology, he overstepped his privileges. I don't care if you were a Vietnam Vet. while I respect and salute your service to this great country of ours, unless you have led the perfect life, you should keep your lips shut.

To John, we will always love you, but we all hope you get to be the old John that we know and love. The great champion that you are.
