We start with the John Daly/Butch Harmon fiasco.
On Wednesday, Daly was an hour late for his pro-am tee time for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. That means he's out of the tournament. That's probably the best thing that's happened to him in the last two days.
Daly's swing coach, Butch Harmon, dropped him as a client and the reason is not good.
Per the AP http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=3288641
Yikes. This is as worse a break up as I've seen in my life and that includes Kim Carr dumping me two days before my senior prom. (I went with her.) Stories have swirled for a while that Daly is back to what he's notorious for, but for Harmon to directly blame that on Daly's dismissal is huge.
Daly's been publicly humiliated now. Whether Harmon is trying to do this to get him on track is anyone's guess (possible since Harmon said over and over again how much he loved Daly.) Daly has to wake up now, but how long have we said that? Daly's playing career is in shambles without eligibility so how Daly responds could determine what happens to his life.
We'd all love to think that Daly rebounds from this, but enough is enough. Too many stories and Harmon was supposed to work closely with Daly. This is not some wild accusation by Harmon. This smells like the beginning of the end of the Daly tragedy.
Last week, no one accumulated any points.
This week is the aforementioned Arnold Palmer Invitational, named after...Dean Martin.
