Apparently it is... I guess people will find any way possible to get that shite in their bodies

quote:

“I’d usually snort it,” Willy says. “I shot heroin a few times. Every time I shot up, it scared the shite out of me. I was lucky nothing terrible happened. Shooting heroin was fatal for people I knew.”

Yet he didn’t stop. And while he acknowledged he was struggling, he didn’t reveal what he was struggling with. By the end of the season, he was unrecognizable to himself as a golfer and a person.

“People asked, ‘What the frick is going on with you?’” he recalls. “I’d reply with some variation of, ‘Golf is hard right now.’ I can’t imagine what the response would have been if I had described how much heroin I’d been snorting.”

I was matched up with him in a North AL vs Central AL junior event when we were 14.


I played a round with him when he was around 12 or 13. I was playing with a client in Pell City and he was just hanging out at the course and the client knew him and asked him to play with us. He smoked us.

He went by Will at that time.

Hoffmann with 3 birdies and 3 bogeys for an even round of 71 for his debut. Pretty damn impressive

How many sponsors exemptions can he get? I really want him to get back on tour. He is kinda crazy, but he was dealt a pretty shitty hand.

Think he has two more after this one. They expire this year though. Almost impossible to get card with that without a win

No. These are medical exemptions. I am wondering about sponsor exemptions.

Not 100% on the sponsor exemptions. I know he has two more starts due to medical exemption because they agreed to treat multiple muscles as separate exemptions.

From the Golf Digest article to the TV announcers discussing his return, it's been all positive coverage for him. Can't imagine strings not being pulled to get him into additional tournaments

There’s a video of the podcast where he states “I took 6 Percocets, drank 3 24oz Bud Lights, and went out and shot a 66 in 100 degree heat.” Insane.

he wanted to help others who were struggling. A bottle of red wine sat on the table between us. Even for a Tuesday night, it was quiet. The distant sound of vehicles echoed off a couple of strip malls.

We nursed the wine from paper coffee cups as the sun went down. “I still drink a bit,” Willy said. “Nothing like I used to. I’ll have five or six (beers) to take the edge off. I’ve been clean now for seven or eight months. Every now and then I’ll smoke a little grass. The craziest thing is that’s what got me suspended.”


This doesn’t make any sense. He’s sitting down with the writer to discuss his dependency issues over a bottle of wine?
