Harmon Revokes Daly's Hall Pass
/Tim Rosaforte's original February note on John Daly and Butch Harmon resurfaces in the April Golf Digest, and includes this from Harmon:
"I told [John] to look in the mirror to see the guy who's causing all the problems. On tour, he needs to stay on his bus, stay out of the Hooters and the bars. I told him, 'If you can't do that, we don't have a deal."Not surprisingly, Daly's well documented weekend foray into the Hooter's pavillion did it for Harmon. From a Doug Ferguson wire report:
Harmon added, "I gave him one hall pass. One is all I'm going to give him."
"My whole goal for him was he's got to show me golf is the most important thing in his life," Harmon said from his golf school in Las Vegas. "And the most important thing in his life is getting drunk."No one can accuse Butch of holding back.
"I've let him know that after his actions of last weekend, we are no longer together," Harmon said. "In all honesty, I'm a very busy person. I'm willing to help the kid, but until he helps himself and makes golf his No. 1 priority, I'm not his guy.
"Jon Gruden caddying, I thought was ridiculous. I thought he made a circus out of the whole event."
Daly, who is playing the Arnold Palmer Invitational on a sponsor's exemption, could not be located for comment.
