So
another new winner on tour—Ted Potter Jr. wins at Greenbrier. Missed five
straight cuts then wins, shows just how fickle this game can be. Looked like he
was heading back to Q-school (the last one) and instead he has two guaranteed
years on tour and a ticket to the Master’s.
And what
is going on with John Daly? He is looking like the Daly of old. If he can come
up with enough sponsors’s exemptions I think he will win his card back. Fans
love him and he is proving he still has game. He needs four years to reach 50
and the seniors tour, I expect he will be welcomed there with open arms, he
flat out brings in fans and $$$. Hard to keep a player with a 70.1 scoring
average out of tournaments but some of these good-old-boy tourneys remember too
many of Daly’s bad moments. Hope they open up and let him play. He is playing
this weekend so I will set my DVR as we will be on the road to a family reunion
(please feel sorry for me, it won’t help but I need it).
The Web.com Tour instead of Q-school and everyone needs to earn a card through
a year on this tour, good-old-boys at work again. This concept is as bad as the
BCS and the Hockey (let everyone in) playoffs and the NFL Pro Bowl. Golf never has reached the
viewing numbers it would like and this will not help. Will we see the good young
players on other tours (Europe, Australia) come to America for a year in the
minors so they can play the PGA tour? NOPE!
