JD on JD Ramblings...

[sharkhark]

Anyone read the golf channel excerpts of john daly's upcoming book.
I repeat my comments on previous threads. The guy in my opinion doesn't deserve pity. He has now added gambling, to alcoholic, violent outbursts, walking off courses mid round.
Anyone who continues to say he doesn't have a drinking problem cuz he doesn't drink the hard stuff anymore? is a liar.
Anyone who say's he is better because he doesn't trash hotels as much anymore?

Here's link and a few excerpts:
http://www.thegolfchannel.com/core.a...1&select=19188
Daly three-putted from 15 feet on the second playoff hole against Woods at Harding Park. He headed to Las Vegas and lost $600,000 within 30 minutes. He said he took out another $600,000 line of credit and lost that in two hours.
Daly says he has taken more control of his life in the last six years.
"I'm off those ... medications. I don't drink JD (Jack Daniels) anymore. I don't beat up on hotel rooms and cars as much.

Pretty insane, 50 to 60 million in twelve years. GOOD LORD!!

Listening to Team 1200 this morning I was floored at how much money he has gambled away and I could only wonder was writing this book another way to generate $$$$, which it will, lots will buy it.

I almost find it hard to believe he has spent that much given his Career earnings is $8,776,552. Yes, he has earned lot$ in appearance fees and endorsements, but this seems exaggerated.

John daly is one of the highest in endorsements. He takes on more than most players and has his own clothing line which takes in alot.
In a golf magazine article last yr, they had his total take for 2004 at $21 million. Multiply that times all the years on tour since british open, pretty easy to lose 60 mill over time.

In ratios lots of people lose similar amounts. I guess it's all about your perspective and value for a 1$.

It could be exaggerated .. .

i.e. walk in with 500K. Win 500K, then lose all 1M.

"I just lost 1 Million Dollars!"

when he has a losing session he could easily be counting what he is @ when he leaves minus what he was @ at the highest point as his loss, as opposed to what eh lost from his pocket.

[dH]

Agreed and it is TRUE he did Loose 1 million if he went in w/ 500 and won 500 because at one point when he COULD OF LEFT he had 1 millin in his hand. ahh I remember the 1st time I lost a million on slost. lol
