Here’s a message which was recently posted on John’s website:

To All of My Greatest Fans!

Back for an update for everyone!! I don’t get a chance to get online too often because I’m keeping focused on work & preparation for my return. Here’s the latest and I really appreciate all of the fan mail that I have been getting! I do read them all!!

I should know about the European tour this week but I plan to play mid-April and PGA Tour in May.

I continue to work hard every day and hope to be ready real soon!! I am also very glad to have lost some weight because of the support from a special someone in my life!! A change in 40 pounds does a lot in how you carry yourself and your confidence!! I can say it’s the best thing that has motivated me in a long time!!

Again, I feel that my fans deserve to see me again as a champion and now even more than everrrrrr I will be ready to prove myself!!

“There is no success without hardship”!!

God Bless Everyone!!

Bushwood Country Club Blog Drives Golf Channel Into Rough

Randy — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 16:23:51 +0000

Over at the Bushwood Country Club blog , the question “What’s Wrong With The Golf Channel?” gets asked.

Here in the Lion’s Pit, we love comments like this:

“These guys who have never sniffed a Major (Brandel, John Hawkins, Brian) never miss a chance to rip on John Daly, always looking down their noses and harrumphing about how bad Daly is for golf. They are so out of touch with most of us, it is pathetic. Face it, guys – people LIKE John Daly a lot…. the reasons are unimportant, they like him, so shaddup and deal with it.”

Certainly, Australia golf fans love John. His recent November trip proved to be a Panacea for Australian golf. According to The Daily Telegraph, John was mentioned in Australia’s major newspapers 442 times. This delivered an estimated press and media exposure value of $3 million (or more).
