You know, it really is a shame that John Daly ever discovered alcohol. Daly, in all honesty, is an incredible golfer, considering I'm certain he's shot under par before while completely drunk.Butch Harmon - who was once Tiger Woods's coach - said that he stopped coaching Daly because Daly cared more about getting drunk than he did about playing winning golf. Daly objected to that, but frankly, Harmon nailed it on the head. And this story only backs that up.
Apparently Daly got insanely drunk at a Hooters (of course) in North Carolina this weekend and actually wound up passing out.
Someone at the restaurant called EMS after he lost consciousness. Paramedics say Daly refused to go to the hospital so they called for help from police.
Officers described Daly as extremely intoxicated and uncooperative. He repeated he didn't want to go to the hospital.
The problem was also compounded by the fact that Daly didn't have a ride. Now, you're probably wondering, why didn't he have a ride? Well, he was apparently with a tour group that wasn't real thrilled with his drunken antics, so they ditched him.
Officers say he was part of a group traveling on a tour bus. The group left Daly behind at the Hooters because they didn't want him to continue traveling with them.
Man, for most people that would be rock bottom. For Daly, that's called Sunday. Daly wound up being taken to a local jail where he spent 24 hours sobering up.
The problem here is that Daly clearly has an addiction, but at the same time seems totally unwilling to try and pull himself away from it. I mean, why else would he have made a commercial for Maxfli that clearly celebrates binge drinking?
