Seriously, the stories about this dude just keep piling up. Shame he won't live long.

In case you don't follow golf, the great John Daly - creator of Grip It And Rip It - winning the British Open in 1995.



Daly at the British Open couple of weeks ago.



The man gives no ****s. Smokes heavily, drinks heavily, and apparently eats heavily. He even has a cocktail named after him.

Quote:

It's been estimated that John Daly, in his prime, would consume 515 gallons of Diet Coke each year.

Quote:

Pat also claims he saw Daly drink 72 beers in an afternoon at Hooters.

He once hit a tee shot in a tournament off a beer can.



Dude is a national treasure. Thankfully, his son, now playing at Arkansas, appears to be a chip off the old block.

That's what people said in the 90s - dude is a machine. This is not new news.

John is from my hometown in Arkansas.

My claim to fame in golf is I beat Daly in a local member guest 2 man scramble tournament 2 years before he won the PGA. We shot 16 under in 36 holes and beat his team by 1 stroke. Dude was drunk as a skunk both days but damn could he hit a golf ball. His drives would go places on a course that I had never seen. It was amazing to watch.

He actually bought the golf course he grew up working at and spends quite a bit of time in that small town in Arkansas. He is a party guy but holds charity local golf tourneys and is a nice good ol boy who overindulges in fun. He's just a local boy when he is home and very down to earth. It could be worse.

Count me a big fan of Big John. I even got my golf cart from him.

I was at the 8th hole on Pinehurst #2 in 1999 when he hit an 11. Could hear every word he said as he hit the ball while it was still moving off the green. My grandfather was with me and he was a good ol' boy who grew up on a farm in Missouri in the Depression. Still remember him telling me after we watched that, "Talent can only take you so far if you can't control yourself."

There's a guy who struts around the food board who made this a battle for second place long ago.

Saw him hit his tee shot over the heads of people in the crosswalk of #10 fairway at Forest Oaks outside of Greensboro NC. He was irritated that the marshals had not put up the ropes when he was ready to go. That was the same weekend when he went from mullet to shaved head.

BTW - I didn't wish anything I'll on anyone. My OP wasn't touched by staff. I did have OSU and Arkansas confused - I don't really keep up with college golf.

I read it during down time when I was working in another city and had nothing to do in the evenings. A friend had it so I borrowed it.

It's interesting for sure. Not high brow reading but dude really has no filter and doesn't care what anybody thinks. And when he does finally leave the planet, he will be able to say that he did things his way for the most part.

Daly and Miguel Angel Jimenez; golf legends.

JD is a ****ing legend. When my younger cousin was a preteen, he was at a pro-am tourney day and was following Daly. Daly noticed him and asked if he played. My cousin lived on a course and was pretty good, so he said yes. Daly said "well come up and hit one." He gave my cousin his driver and my cousin smoked one right down the middle of the fairway. Daly said what equates to "holy ***** Don't to that again because you're showing me up." The crowd cracked up and it solidified me as a fan for life.

We went to a lot of tournaments back in the day and saw the best and worst. Daly was up there with guys like Gil Morgan (DDS) who asked why we weren't in school mid-week and laughed when we told him we had an appointment with the dentist. Juxtapose that with guys like Curtis Strange who was an ******* and literally pushed my cousin into a creek while crossing a bridge during a pro-am because he and his caddy wouldn't single file to let opposing traffic pass.

A) OP with the super hot take. John Daly has been an icon/punchline for decades
B) I love the notion of comparing a picture of someone today to a picture of them 27 years ago and being shocked they don't look the same.

A guy I met last week was chatting a bit and said he is in his 30's. I was guessing 50 for sure.

It's hard to tell sometimes.
