Grip It and Rip It


"Now Momma Lou makes chocolate gravy; Lord, she is so nice /Poppa Jim pulled me aside and gave me some advice/ He said, 'Quit spending all your money on all those old skanks/Just put some in your pocket and put some in the bank.'"—John Daly, "All My Exes Wear Rolexes"

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. John Daly certainly resembles that old saying.
He's one golfer you won't see on the Leaderboard at The Masters this year. But you could go up the street and buy something from him.

He's got a bus on Washington Road up from Augusta National, where he is hawking T-shirts, head covers, hats and and stuff, trying to make a buck. (Link) He is on the outside looking in, literally, because he is temporarily suspended from the PGA Tour.

More from ESPN:


John Daly smashed one tee shot off the top of a beer can during a pro-am. At another tournament, he returned from a rain delay with Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden as his caddie. And his most memorable photo this year came in an orange jail suit, eyes half-closed.


Daly has had his share of problems over the last few years. Alcohol, a few failed marriages, weight challenges, money problems, etc. Let's hope he gets it together at some point and makes a come back.
PS -- if you want to watch the beer can shot.... here.
