It appears my favorite golfer is back in the limelight. Yahoo! Sports today reports that Daly, “has shed well over 100 pounds in the last year as a result of lap-band surgery, and he's now a slim, trim 185. He's talking about writing a new book, and at a press conference Tuesday prior to the Australian PGA, he noted that he'd also like to see a movie made of the insanity that has been his life, both on and off the course.”
Honestly, I don’t care what the man does from here on out. In my book, his life has already been a huge success. He’s reached the peaks of golfing triumph, he’s been down and out, he’s won and lost millions of dollars golfing and gambling. He’s been a drunk, a degenerate and a champion. He’s been married and divorced four times. That’s enough life for three men. I get so tired listening to the talking heads on ESPN pontificate about what a disaster his life has been, how he’s wasted his potential, how drinking has destroyed his game. They can’t read his mind. They don’t know what interior struggles he’s gone through. They don’t know what he’s chasing.
That being said, I’d love to read his book or see a movie about his life – so long as it comes from or is endorsed by J.D.
