Jerry Kelly looks like a young Jack Nicholson in his PGA tour dot com mugshot. That’s saying quite a lot about Nicholson’s age, as Kelly is 39 years young! However, this blog is not in praise of Jerry Kelly, but rather, to bury him. I don’t care if he wins this week or not, and he’s currently tied with another under-achieving w(h)iner (get it? w(h)iner!!), Duffy Waldorf. I used to like both these guys, but they just don’t seem to want to win enough for me. Scratch that. Rewrite. Duffy doesn’t want to win, just collect bottles of wine. Kelly wants to win too much.

I used to lump DiMarco and Kelly together, like Calcavecchia and Green. Green had an illness, we now know, which is why he dropped off the tour, and Calc became Calc. Well, DiMarco plays within himself, while Kelly rarely does. Kelly pleads with Jack Nicklaus to put him on the cup teams, then goes out and plays crappy golf in the majors, and crappy golf in match play. You can’t fault a lack of desire, but rather, a hyper-desire. Kelly needs to back off and play within himself. Freakin’ hockey-player mentality.

Jerry Kelly, begone!
