JD was in town today (pics added)

abewley · May 12, 2006

got his book and he signed it.

JD was in town today.. book signing.Big Poppa was out of town.. but i met his wife, mom, 3 yr old daughter and 2 week old son at the signing. waited in line for almost over an hour..

we each got several books signed but his wife couldn't find Big Poppa's JD wedge.. so after we left she went back home and found the wedge and took it back to the signing.

JD almost shat himself. He was soooo excited about seeing the wedge.. he said." hey that was mine!" he was very happy to sign it and pleased to see it.

Big Poppa's daughter got her pic with him and i got a few on my cell phone that i will post tomorrow (sorry about the quality)

He signed books for over 2 hrs.

what a great guy John Daly is.

Big Poppa is another member here. He has one of JD's old wedges :) There's a thread about it, and I believe it's also been for sale in the Classifieds.

what a great guy John Daly is.

He really is a wonderfully plain, down to earth guy who relates to people well. I'm pulling for him cause he's a "man of the people", just a regular guy like all of us.

Great sense of honesty that shines through in his new book as well.

Regular guy like the rest of us????

I don't know about you but I personally don't know anyone who has gambled away £33 million and has been married 4 times. He also seems to be quite impatient and inconsiderate of other cultures for a man so well travelled (like in The Daly Planet when he went to Ireland and made some comment on the plane that he love ireland or something and his son said "Dad you said Ireland was a crap hole" or somthing to that effect. He then went into a pub and insulted the locals by insinuating that they were all poor and didn't know anything about golf)

In my view he's anything but a "regular guy", he is a favourite of the American public but I am not so sure the rest of the world love him as much as you guys.

I think people by saying he's a "regular guy" mean he's a guy that will tell it like it is, he won't sugar coat things, he's got some problems, he might come off as being a bit of a redneck but that's probably what he is a bit(I don't know JD but at time he's not politically correct, big deal, he's JD)

He's kinda of a guy you either love or hate, no in between.

JD is someone I've always wanted to play with. While I think it would be interesting to play with the likes of Woods or Els, I think it would be a blast to play with JD... Maybe some day.

daly came and played my course right before he won the buick. some lady was like here is his autograph and i didnt want it but i was like w/e. He shot 68 first round then 65 second round and its a short course. It is 6400 yards

my dad was going pee when he walked in the bathroom and he went pee and didnt wash his hands. I will never shake his hand after hearing that

My 3 yr old was all upset because she had a disposable camera and they turned it in to Sams for developing. Aaron bought Kaka 3 new cameras and Big John was more than happy to take a pic with my daughter. My wife said he was pretty excited to see his wedge, especially since people were bringing in clubs to be signed that were not his. My wife came thru big for me!!!!! I could not wait to get home to get the wedge and I'm probably more excited to get the pics back of my daughter with John.
