John Daly lashed out at Garry Smits of the FLORIDA TIMES-UNION Tuesday on Twitter after Smits reported the news of his PGA Tour personnel file being released. All 456 pages of it.
(JD’s file: Tour to need more horsepower for hole-punch)
Daly has since deleted two of the three Tweets he posted listing Smits’ cellphone number to his nearly 50,000 followers.
So why Smits?
He works for the newspaper that obtained Daly’s file. A file that it procured only after Daly sued the newspaper’s parent company in 2005.
The other irony lost on Daly is that Smits’ piece led to more interest in his wretched reality show - which apparently debuted last night.

Daly’s lawsuit was from a comment made by Mike Freeman of CBS Sports when he worked for the Jacksonville paper. http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6264363/14185224
Getting tired of Daly being referred to as the “Tour’s everyman golfer”, too. The average guy has been married multiple times, been through bankruptcy, quit rehab, has been investigated for spousal abuse, and has a 450+ page personnel file?
More accurate would be ’scumbag from backwoods of Arkansas’ Tour player John Daly….

Watched this last night. Like driving by a car accident. Not sure if it was supposed to be a tragedy or a comedy. Big John has the IQ of a 3 wood. Sad.
