Question:
for those that dont know, his missed cut at the recent Aus PGA wasn’t done in the most professional way (infact he disqualified himself). i seriously didnt think he should have made the trip down here in light of his mother’s death and his pre tournament ‘claims’ of winning it for his mom didnt help at all. clearly he was here to satisfy the promoters needs and not his own personal one’s. one could argue that he’s good for the game and still has the abilitiy, but i dont think the game is good for him. ps. anyone know if someone fished out his driver and putter from one of the lakes on the course after he threw them in? e: woodsienATbigfootDOTcom
Response:
Someone got his putter, don’t know about driver though. You can probably catch a footage of it if you watch the golf central, as I’m sure they will show it.

Poor ole Daly. I guess he has to expect to be treated "special" in these situations. Kaname Yokoo tossed his putter into the lake following a bad round at the Farm Bureau Classic in Jackson, MS. He missed the lake though! Kinda topped off his round appropriately. As I recall, Daly did not sign his card. I’ll be waiting for Allenby (most likely, IMHO) or some other Aussie to toss a club into the lake and see if he is disqualified or not in a PGA Tour event. If not, I will protest with righteous indignation; what is good for the goose….. Rob – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Someone got his putter, don’t know about driver though.

Why should Allenby be disqualified?? There is no Rule about tossing one’s equipment into the lake, it happens often! Daly was disqualified for not signing his card…..and I’m not sure that it made any difference, he was nowhere near making the cut anyway! cheers david

It’s good for him. It’s all he knows and he makes money at it. Little spats like that just build his notariety, and make more people want to watch him. He knows what he is doing.

I thought he did give it up! {Is there much evidence that’s he’s putting out 100%?} – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – ps. anyone know if someone fished out his driver and putter from one of the lakes on the course after he threw them in?

You are correct, and it happens all the time, players finish and don’t sign the card. My response was< I guess, Colored by the Aussie commentators reaction to Daly; he’s obviously some sort of pariah who should not be invited to these events because he threw clubs into a pond and failed to sign a card when he knew he missed the cut.

I thought the commentators reaction related more to his abuse of the rules official and playing partners over the decision of where the ball flew in to the hazard. Where Daly claimed the ball entered the hazard would have required quite a sizable hook.

It looked like a big hook to me, but Daly was there! Heck, he even hit the shot. But what does he know! Of course, we *NEVER* see other people arguing with rules officials and others about rulings in golf.

The relief from a lateral hazard is taken from the "point of entry". Dem’s the rules! Even with a big hook, the point of entry would be quite a way back along the margin from the splash. Daly just looked like he wanted to crib a few metres or fifty. None of which excuses you from losing your bundle, playing the last six holes in 9 over, failing to sign your card and throwing your putter in the lake. Sometimes I wish these players could step outside themselves and look at what their reactions do for their games. Baddeley got angry yesterday and stupidly stubbed a 10cm putt as a result. He got angry again at the 17th, and duck-hooked his drive into the lake off the 18th tee. So lack of control directly cost him two shots. And we always find ways to excuse them (just like we excuse McEnroe or Hewitt). With Daly it was his mum’s death. In my paper this morning it was "we forget Baddeley’s only 21". Well, I’ve seen eight-year-olds behave more rationally than Baddeley. Of course, we *NEVER* see other people arguing with rules officials and others about rulings in golf.
Unless it’s Sergio Garcia.

Oh Yeah! Well Daly played a full round with Padraig Harrington; heck he even won the torunament. Thus he does have patience. Thomas Bjorn OTOH whinned and whinned about playing with some slow Indian player; even berated the poor guy. Thomas has set the kharma calender such that he, Bob Estes and Padraig Harrington will be a threesome in some important tournament. I can’t wait! ;^) Rob — Service is the rent we pay for being RSG Masters 2003 ( http://home.att.net/~janellenrob/RSG-MS.html )

As a matter of interest, the Rules do allow for ‘an error of judgement’….especially in connection with ‘point of entry’ in lateral hazards, (Refer Decision 26-1/17) cheers david

I know that the club collected at least one club and ball and intends to keep them on display.
Response:
But Daly has always been that way, and he has made quite a bit of money and won a couple of majors without growing up.

With $200,000 appearance money it does make a difference. He should at least pretend to finish the round.
