John Daly Admits That He’s Very Low

King Grip-It-and-Rip-It, John Daly, came out recently and admitted what many in the game already knew but weren’t saying – the golfer has been served a six-month suspension from the PGA Tour for “conduct detrimental to golf’s image.”
↵
↵Oddly enough, this suspension has nothing to do with Daly’s bout of camera-throwing rage at the Australian Open last month. No, this suspension dates back to a bender than John-John went on in October when he got all drunk and disorderly outside a restaurant in North Carolina and ended up sleeping it off in the local clink. In other words, in the Wonderful World of John Daly, another run-of-the-mill Tuesday.
↵
↵Seriously, what’s going on here? If John Daly got suspended every time he had to sleep off a drunk in some provincial holding cell he would, like, never play a round of professional golf in his life. And yet here he is fessing up to the fact that he’s banned from the PGA Tour for six months and the only reason offered is this restaurant smackdown in N.C.
↵
↵Did I mention that Daly’s assessment of the situation was to say, “This is the lowest I’ve ever been.” This, THIS, is the lowest John Daly’s ever been? Man, that’s pretty friggin low. Something must be going on here that nobody’s telling us, some truly depraved details that aren’t making it into the press. I simply refuse to believe that a five-star general of a drunk like John Daly earns himself a six-month vacation from pro golf in the U.S. merely for getting drunk. That would be like giving Kevin Garnett a suspension from the NBA for saying “m****erf***er” or giving Kanye a suspension from rap for being too arrogant. It’s like, how they roll, you know what I mean?↵
