Relationship in the rough

With all the tabloid and TV hullabaloo over Britney Spears finally coming to her senses and seeking a divorce from K-Fed, her backup dancer/wannabe rapper/couch anchor, it was easy to miss another significant celebrity marital transaction.
John Daly, everyone's favorite long-driving, hard-partying PGA Tour player, now finds his love life buried deep in a sand trap.
He's headed for divorce No. 4, which means that the number of ex-wives in his life will continue to outpace his number of major championships (two).
The Associated Press reported that Sherrie Miller Daly filed for divorce last month.
This comes on the heels of her rejoining society after serving a federal sentence for her involvement in an alleged drug and gambling ring.
Long John’s life continues to resemble a mournful country music song, something about how all his exes drive a Lexus.
But Daly shouldn’t fret for long. Never mind the con that will be walking out of your life. Think of all the pros you can offer the ladies.
Granted, he's not much to look at these days. The last time I saw him at the Masters, he was wearing an 84 Lumber polo shirt (pimping his sponsor) and smoking an unfiltered Marlboro during the par-3 tournament. His ample gut hung far over his beltline, a testament to his time at the Hooter's on Washington Road during Master's week.
It's not as if he doesn't offer anything, however. He's in the midst of his worst year on the PGA Tour with just one top 25 finish. With him missing all of those cuts, there's plenty of time to cuddle with future ex-wife No. 5.
The man also appreciates fine foods (ie. his affinity for Hooter's wings) and offers palatial digs (the Winnebago he sleeps in during Master's week. It has a stove and a bathroom inside). What woman wouldn't jump at the chance to meet him?
Now that it appears the lovely Ms. Spears is back on the market, perhaps it’s time to put these two crazy country kids together.
