John Daly is 57 years old. Let that soak in. Santa’s backswing is still long and languid, and every now and then he pokes a drive over 300 yards.
He’s still sippin’, grippin’, and rippin’ — and wearing loud pants and eating delicious Hooter’s wings. No one lives the tour life better than the big boy from the U. of Arkansas.
We recently came across this golf tip video where JD shares his #1 game improvement recommendation for his Pro-Am partners. We were surprised to hear what he had to say.
The biggest takeaway: Don’t just grip it and rip it. Instead, take more club and swing 3/4.
How about them apples? The fabled gripper & ripper himself says to pull back the reins if you want to hit consistently more solid shots that travel the distance you need them to.
Watch the video, get out and practice, and then take what you’ve grooved to the course!
