Buick Invitational

Filed under: Golf — Bunker @ 5:00 pm

Bogey is giving me grief for the plethora of political postings and the dearth of golf topics. I must comply.

John Daly is 3 under at the Buick. That is more exciting than any of the other stories at Torrey Pines as far as I’m concerned. I’m a Daly fan. He’s been a yo-yo over the years, but it is thrilling to watch someone built like him take that big long swing and send the ball 320 yards. He can then take a wedge and make the ball dance.

His all-out approach to the game has given him Major wins, and big numbers. More than once he’s walked away from a green and written “18” on the scorecard. But when he’s on, he’s a joy to watch.

If ever I got the opportunity to play in a Pro-Am, Daly would be high on my list of partners. I hope the TV coverage actually includes some of his play this time around, but with Tiger in the field, it won’t happen unless they’re in the same group.
