  • John Daly - There will never be another professional athlete quite like him. With a diet of chocolate, diet coke and cigarettes, it's a wonder how he ever went pro in the first place. Despite this, he's had an incredibly successful golfing career, beating Tiger Woods while battling an extreme hangover and a laundry list of other addictions. John Daly has cemented himself as a golf legend.

      I'm just so amazed at this guy's pure raw talent and work ethic. This guy is just so good! And I think it shocks people because ever since the the War on drugs, the government has painted all addicts as monsters and failures and everyone just eats it up and believes it without question. When that isn't true at all. Plenty of people are functional addicts and are extremely successful. They aren't bad people. Addiction is a mental illness. And yeah there are bad people who are addicts, but there are bad people who aren't addicts. Being an addict has nothing to do with whether or not you're a bad person or a failure. And the culture makes you believe the exact opposite of that. It's really sad. Statistically someone you know and admire is a secret functional addict and you have no idea.

He threw up a few times in a bin and the other golfers were laughing but he still went out to play his round. He was friendly and down to earth and was nice to the staff unlike some of the other golfers

    The great thing about John Daly is that, more than any other pro golfer I've ever seen, when you watch him, you think, "That guy's a schlub just like me." You can imagine for just a second that even though you're no prime specimen of humanity, maybe you could do something like that too.
    You can't. Nobody but Daly can. But it's a really attractive dream.

    He came to my city to play in a corporate tourney when I was in 1st grade. My dad came and swooped me from school in the middle of the day to take me to see him. I didn’t know too much about who he was until my dad filled me in on the legend. We were standing in a packed crowd away from the action where I was standing w my dad with a hat he had just bought me wondering if I would be able to see this guy everyone’s losing it over. Soon enough, there he was. Walking towards his shot a little past where we were. He saw me with my dad where I held out my hat for him to sign in the crowd and as cool as he was he walked right up to us and started to sign it. He didn’t even have to either, he was far enough away that he could have just ignored us but he didn’t. I’ll never forget what he said: “skippin’ school to come out here huh? I like that.” He handed back my hat and proceeded to schwack the living shit out of his next shot and sparked a cig right after. That was almost 20 years ago and I’ll never forget that moment as long as I live as it’s one of my favorite moments with my dad…..I still have the hat.

    John is the legend they don't want you to remember or love. I met him at a Pro-Am Tournament back in the late 90's. There was a long drive champion giving an exhibition on how to drive ...long lol before the start of the match. A crowd was surrounding this guy on a T box and he's going over all the technical things he does and how he can drive beyond anyone. John walks up cig hanging out of his lips watches this guy hit one and laughs. The guy asks if John cares to try, John dropped his cig on the ground pulled a ball out of his pocket just flopped it on the grass, no Tee, took his driver and crushed that ball, I mean crushed it! Crowd is cheering he says "You don't need any of that fancy crap just hit the damn ball". The long drive guy didn't even respond. John is a legend who plays by his own rules and that's why his fans love him!

      Pre 90's I followed this fucker before it was frowned upon. Love III, Big Easy, and Pavin weren't too far behind as tee ball stretchers.
      He was my hero for bending the Golden PGA thumb. If it isn't by your way, someone else will surely show how it can be done. The Pros pre 2000's played with decorum for the game and not in pursuit of earnings. Different times that now have monetary outcomes.

      Then there's Trump, but I digress. No formal PGA W's, just venues to host'em.
      Late 1994, I showed up early every morning after being dropped off by my father at the Dairy Queen down the hill from Oakmont in Pennsylvania.
      Running to the gate of West flashing my pass and continuing to the driving range non stop from Tuesday through Sunday.
      US Open '94 The Big Easy took it. First time I ever met the Golden Bear. I was 12, and Jack was being carted off 18 green towards the clubhouse. I handed him my Oakmont magazine that featured Arnold hitting from the church pews on the cover. Jack scribbled his name over Palmer and looked back twice over right shoulder, then flung magazine into the air behind him being driven up to the lodge. I caught the book mid air and treasured that moment ever since. Daily, Pavin, Love, and Ernie were the ones to watch warming up for morning practice on range. One of my very first perfected shots was the Daily Flop. This green side recovery has been saving me strokes for nearly thirty years. I was raised with on high ethical standards behind the mountains where Palmer made his name. Small town called Russelltown, PA. My HS team home course was Pittsburgh International formally known as Deer Run.

Three spinal surgeries, and 25 yrs later I'm comfortable within my limitations regarding rotation. The only problem with being number one is that the feeling diminishes over time. The game in itself is what carries the legacy not shooting in the red.

Tiger said something like "If i was as talented as you John, I wouldnt have to prcatice this long." He then got paired with Tiger the next day and beat him.

    Daly is a legend of the sport. He still plays on the PGA Tour Champions circuit, for pro golfers aged 50 or over. He and his son John II beat Tiger and his son Charlie in the PNC Championship in December 2021 by 2 strokes - that tournament is only open to father-and-son teams where the father or son must have won one major championship - previous winners include Angel Cabrera and his son, Stewart Cink and his son, David Duval and his stepson, Davis Love III and his son, Bernhard Langer and his son (4 times), so some talented guys there - John and John II were runner-up to Vijay Singh and his son in 2022.

    John was given a rare gift, one that 99.9% of the rest of us wasn't given. The way the man hits a golf ball is unmatched. When you're in the gallery and he tees off that little white ball maes a humming noise as it cuts through the air. It's the most spectacular thing I've ever seen. I'm not going to pretend I'm a fan of a guy who's in constant self destruct mode. At the end of the day when all is said and done, he will have lived the life he chose.

    Imagine him in top shape, no gambling addiction and always present on tours. Daly would have been more legendary than he is today. Thank you for this vid for introducing us to this beast!

      Yeah but then it wouldn’t be as cool and he wouldn’t be John Daly. Appreciate him for who he is.

      @@willissudweeks1050 I'm really fascinated with his achievements despite his routine. You're right though, it's his life. He enjoyed and paved it the way he did. I'm just concered about how his life went downhill because of the vices is all.

    He played some games with the guys from the Coutnry Club Adjacent channel. My favorite quote of his on those games "Take that, earthlings". Dude's an alien.

    I remember watching John Daly with my dad in my teens or younger and that guy could hit a golf ball like nothing, that thing just went out into space, and he sent it every time!

    I can’t golf without drinking. The two just go hand in hand for me. few weeks ago I golfed 27 holes and drank 12 beers topped off with an LIT. I don’t normally drink that much but it was family, friends and a lot of laughs. The next day I discovered John Daly while looking up some golf videos on CZcams. He’s a talent and a cool dude.

    Drinking catches up to everyone. It can take a couple years - maybe even a couple decades - but whatever 'powers' a drinker thinks they gain eventually lead to becoming a burden and a curse.

    It’s crazy how far this channel has come in 4 years. Terrific work, Lachlan. Your content is some of the best on the platform right now. Quite literally, every single video is interesting and really draws the viewer in as well as holds their attention. I’ll be watching as long as you keep producing .
