Thought this was interesting.

GR Press said that was Kid Rocks beer that got used as the tee.

I wonder if that beer can will find it's way to eBay?

I must say, he looks like he's well past his third trimester.

I wonder what would happen if you or I would show up for a regular schedule tee time at Warwick Hills in jean bib coveralls.....................

well i have got to say if you are in the gallery maybe overalls, but if you ARE PLAYING IN THE PRO AM a little respect. but what can you expect when you are playing with a PRO who goes shirtless and shoeless on the course. TRAIN WRECK i hope DALY can get a hold of a BIBLE. cause there is no one her that can seem to help him. death becomes him if he is not careful.

SORRY for the small rant.

thats a waste of beer

I wonder how good the shot was.

still no. never.

Pretty cool....I wish people would get off his back. He hasn't done anything that is so bad to warrant how he is treated. Look at NFL players...they get a free pass for some seriously bad decisions.

And no I'm not feeling any Man-love.....

What was so wrong? He probably was asked to do it and he did. Am reading his book at the moment, definitely has changed my view of the guy.

Oh that John daly guy...

I like Daly, I think he's funny... but Kid Rock looks like a moron in those overalls.

That was awesome

I don't know much about John Daly, what I do know of him, all the "bad" he has done has been to himself and himself only so IMHO when he does something wrong to other people we can jump on him; in the meantime can't we leave the guy alone ? He likes to have fun and he is a nice person(from what I have read) and he is very entertaining, in my book nice + entertaining = the perfect athlete :-).

I salute you John Daly, like those bud light commercials

If only he could get Brit spears as he caddy!

I wander what it did to the driver face?

i'd gladly follow john daly in a tourney over woods everyday and twice on sunday.

am i the only one that thought this was completely hillarious

When's the last time Daly played golf on Sunday?

Hitting it off a can is kind of Daly's "signature trick," he's done it many times off of a diet coke can. Just happened to use a beer can probably because Kid Rock asked him to. Warwick Hills is in Grand Blanc, which is really a suburb of Flint. And Flint is about the most blue collar town in America and the birthplace of General Motors and the United Auto Workers union. A declining industrial town with high unemployment. People up there love this kind of stuff and Daly gets huge support there. I'm sure his galleries were by far the largest of the tournament as they've been before when Tiger isn't in the field. Lighten up, guys.

That was awesome. Lay off Big John. What has he done to hurt anybody? Yeah, maybe he doesnt golf to his full potential, big deal. I would bet half the people on this board dont perform their job at their full potential either (especially those/us who are on this site while at work, haha).

Recently: Bill RB pleads guilty to hit and run. Another Bengal was arrested. Pacman still not reinstated. etc etc.

To be honest I find Big John's approach to the game pretty disrespectful and not a bit sad.

Here's a guy who for some unknown reason has the public's ongoing fascination and I really cant work out why. Etiquette and dress rules seemingly dont apply to him, he either misses the cut or withdraws from most tournaments and hasnt played well in a dog's age.

And yet you get folks on here defending him and saying he's a man of the people etc etc. If I hear him singing "MR Fan" one more time I may be sick.

I think it's cool that with all JD's gone through that he still plays golf and enjoys it. I have to admit, I enjoy watching him play. I like his swing, a lot (once he's back to parallel). He draws the consistent galleries, there is no denying that fact.

That shot sounded solid. I volunteer someone else to tee it off a tall one and see what the can does to the club face.

he is kind of a wreck but I have to be honest I read a quote of his that struck me as pretty reasonable. He was talking about waiting out that rain delay a few months ago in the beer tent, and that he is the only player out there interacting directly with the fans, sitting down and drinking a beer with a couple of them. He might be struggling with his game, but he is still a great draw for sponsors and fans alike. At least he is staying relevant in the game.

There are plenty of struggling pros out there who will never be in the news and never have a chance at exemptions that Daly might get, where he might on an off chance put together a few good scores. Granted, he did win an Open and is vastly more talent than most of these guys, but he still is struggling along with all of them, except he makes an effort to give sponsors top-dollar for his entry and has fun while doing it.

I totally agree. Crazy things are done by pro's all of the time. Why is it that everybody thinks that having a personality is soo bad. Too bad that some golfers still fancy themselves as the "elite" or else this judging of Daly wouldn't be taking place.

I think we will be seing him soon on Jerry Springer. White trash theater. I'm sure he'll roll up in a trailer on wheels and park it in the parking lot.

i think it was funny.. golf wouldn't be the same without john daly.. gives hope to all us overweight drinking golfers LoL

Sad but tragically true. Yes he is a nice guy and yes he is a breath of fresh air but what a waste of talent and a life. Here is a guy who as a young main won the British Open. I guess some people cannot handle it.

Some of his enabler fans so "oh he is a great guy and people should loosen up and he is not a big fake, he has fun, etc etc." They do him harm by offering him beers or having him pull pranks with beer. I assume he has a drinking problem and his "fans" who offer him beers are real jerks.

If Daly was a bad guy I would not really give s**t about him. He reminds me somewhat of Elvis. Super nice guy with lots of demons and very self destructive.

I was at the range at a muni course yesterday at dusk and it was getting close to closing. Some drunk old guy in a tee shirt and shorts with a mega tall boy beer was walking around to "bust balls" as he said. I think he had worked there for a while. He was blabbering on saying some offensive stuff and he sounded like a slob. A late 40's African American guy was near me and probably 7 people were still hitting. This guy had to have been an ex-ball player, tall and lean. Very deliberate with two clubs on the ground - he was a Titleist guy. Good focus, minding his business and probably a regular. The drunk knew everybody including this guy and the drunk starts talking about Tiger. I was getting uncomfortable that his "joking" might get out of hand. The African American guy was probably almost done but he was laughing a little but packing up. I looked towards him and we smiled and I shook my head. I was relieved that this fellow left because I was afraid the drunk was going to say something as he was getting very close.

This pest then start bugging these old guys he knew. He starts talking about the one guy's wife. Just offensive. I moved down the end of the range to get away from this jerk. Drunks at golf courses are trouble. I think Daly attracts some of these people as his "fans." I think if Daly could get a hold of his problems that he would be dogged by these morons at every course.

Sadly for him I think a "few beers" might have something to do with alcoholism. People offering him beers or "having fun" are killing this guy. He is the one who is responsible for himself but I think many of his fans are drunks who are helping to kill the guy.

Zing!

that was more entertaining than any shot I've ever seen tiger woods hit



not kidding, I think Daly's antics are no worse than tiger's stupid fist pumping and hat throwing

Daly is a circus. Tiger is a free pay-per-view.

That says a lot about your view on golf, Mr. Baines! And possibly life.

Kid Rock is a moron even without the overalls.

so do you think throwing your hat on the green is any more appropriate than hitting a ball off a beer car?

both are boorish acts, but one is funny and disrespectful of the course and competitors, the other is just disrespectful of the course and competitors

My apologies to those that were offended by that comment. But Tiger's un-premeditated displays of raw emotion in the heat of battle are not even comparable to Daly hitting a golf ball off a beer can.

i think the other stuff is worse, this is not too bad. its still out of line, but i am sure he was urged on by the other guys in his group. also the crowd definately like it.

boorish, daly yes. Complete loser. His act is getting old. Throwing a hat is not disrepectful of anything. Tiger is not the onlt hat thrower. Funk and Palmer also have tossed a hat.

the famous "Tiger hat throw" did happen on hole 72 of a tourney with the putt to WIN the tourney and NO ONE else played after him. So who does it hurt ? Rats those damn punk kids keep cutting the nets off the rims after they win the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP they should all burn .......

Just calling a spade a spade. What I said was out of line, but it was accurate nevertheless. My apologies to all.

No one watching from the gallery seemed to be offended...Daly's professional playing partner wasn't offended (in fact he gave him a high 5 afterwards)...why would anyone here be offended? It was, after all, a Pro Am and not the actual tournament. These guys paid a good chunk of money to come out and have a good time, not just go through the motions. I've played in some pro ams where the pro was just an absolute a**, and didn't have any fun. Our pro (won't name names) obviously didn't want to be there and it showed. I'll bet Daly's group of guys had a hell of a time and I'm sure their round was something they won't soon forget.

BDLz

Some people disregard John Daly's behavior as being blue collar or stand up for his behavior for being blue collar. Any way you cut it, John Daly's behavior is an illness.

In the past there were John Belushi, John Candy, Chris Farley, and a few others I can't remember. These guys were an awesome talent, people egged them on even while these people were reaching out for help. Others would get their pleasure by watching these people self destruct, and in my opinion, this is what is happening here with John Daly and his antics.

Ely Callaway was the first of the sponsors to try and help John with his addictions, and that didn't work for very long. John soon became cured of his afflictions, he was no longer alcoholic. And once again people encouraged John to behave as John will behave with his afflictions, even the Golf Channel found profit from his afflictions. Butch Harmon who also in a recovering alcoholic was trying to help John but where Butch would not enable, John found those who would, Butch dropped any associations with John Daly.

I feel the need to respond in kind to those who feel that John is just a good ole boy, and should be regarded as such, and that there is no harm, and he is quite funny in his behavior. The man is ill, and I feel he should not be encouraged in the least, less he do total harm to himself.

My point of view only, I do not in anyway speak on the behalf of GolfWRX or any of it's administrators or moderators, these are simply my narrow points of view.

Well said.

I think it's especially disheartening to think about how much talent he's wasted (because he was wasted).

How is he so-called "ill"?

I'm guessing the poster means in relation to his alleged alcoholism.

People still just do not get it. He is ill. He is an addict. Its a disease, its a sickness call it what you need to. Comparing him smoking a golf ball off of a tall boy to Tiger Woods celebrating the feats that your kids kids will see for years to come is like comparing Rosie Oddonell to Charlize Theron. If you really believe they are comparable I have a honda I can sell you that I promise is just like a Lambo. Tiger is celebrating excellence in a golf event. It is no different than when Hale Irwin was giving high fives running around, chicks jumping into the water after winning a womans event, pitchers fist pumping and screaming after a key strikeout, MJ jumping in the air, Phil getting a two inch verticle etc. etc. etc.
Daly enjoys the pleasures of the flesh. Who are we to stop him? However, when it comes to a golf tournament there are certain traditions etc. that you have to respect. He tip toes on the line. He is great for some laughs, makes a ton of money with endorsements and playing in odd tournaments etc.
My conclusion with JD is always this...love him or hate it it wont matter. He wont live to see 50.

LOL




It's John Daly.. and the pro am.. it's for the fans, pro am = entertainment.. lucky someone didn't get a black eye

Wow, what a statement.

What is your reasoning for judgement? Are you better than he is?

How would you describe John Daly as being anything other than ill?




This is what I mean, John Daly is entertainment for the fans, and at present his entertaining ways are via his addictions, he is being exploited.

For all of you guys beating up on JD for hitting a ball off of a beer can, what would your view be had he hit it off of a Diet Coke can like he's been know to do many times in the past (to the glee and great amusement of those in attendance)?
