John Daly as soon as famously mentioned, “You possibly can pull a muscle, however you’ll be able to’t pull fats,” and he nonetheless stands by that to today.
The professional golfer is a legendary sports activities determine, and whether or not you prefer it or not, Daly is a glistening illustration of the height male type. He offered himself to the world as an expert athlete within the late Eighties by talking his thoughts and sporting vibrant coloured and patterned outfits.
Daly has solely grown his popularity ever additional by ingesting beer, smoking cigs, and parking his RV exterior of Hooter’s eating places to signal autographs (he’s certainly going via it proper now with the most recent information about Hooter’s). In the event you haven’t figured it out already, Daly just about does something and every part he desires to, at any time when he desires to. That’s why his pre-round routine can generally solely final one swing, and virtually at all times includes an inordinate quantity of Weight loss program Coke
And it would sound unusual contemplating his food plan and train routine, however John Daly has longevity like no different. He was not often ever harm throughout his skilled profession, and he’s nonetheless hitting bombs when he does resolve to tee it up and compete on the age of 58-years-old.
Daly credit his well being – or no less than at all times having the ability to play in tournaments – to the truth that he’s by no means labored out.
On a latest episode of the Like A Farmer Podcast, he even took a stand in opposition to PGA Tour gamers that excessively train. Daly was particularly speaking about how Tiger Woods approaches every part “100% go,” together with his exercises. He believes that type of mindset in direction of bodily exercise will end in nothing however damage:
“You’re gonna get harm. I imagine when this entire work out factor began, performing some issues is nice. However I believe the hardcore understanding goes to harm these guys, they usually received’t be enjoying once they’re 55, 60 years outdated. I at all times say, ‘I don’t work out, I put out.’ That’s not an excuse for me not understanding. I simply don’t imagine you must work out that arduous to play the sport of golf.”
And Daly is just not the primary to assume that Tiger getting jacked harm his golf sport. Actually, a whole lot of golf execs have suspected that Tiger’s damage woes are considerably linked to him bulking up with a heavy weight lifting routine.
The colourful golfer then joked that he does partake in curls as he picked up the alcoholic beverage he was ingesting through the interview. Love that. Any interview that I ever see him do makes John Daly really feel like the last word “play a spherical and seize a beer” man. And Daly wasn’t completed together with his rant in opposition to understanding, as he continued together with his argument:
“I believe a whole lot of guys lose their flexibility and so many guys are mechanical, too, they don’t have so much. Which means their physique’s not geared up to taking the membership again so far as I can or not lucky to be as versatile as I can, however they work strenuous on the sport and getting their their swing into precisely the best way they need it, however I believe understanding hurts a whole lot of these guys, I actually do.”
And there is likely to be one thing to what John Daly is saying.
On the very least, his strategy to the skilled sport has labored out for him. Daly is a five-time winner on the PGA Tour, and he’s nonetheless one of the well-liked and recognizable names of the game. As for Daly’s secret to making ready for golf tournaments (aside from cigarettes and Weight loss program Coke), he insisted that he simply devoted his “work out time” to extra observe:
“Mine was simply observe wedges and chip and putt all day lengthy. I might do that every one day lengthy. That’s all I did. You realize, folks say I don’t observe so much, however they don’t know. Once I get to a match, if you happen to’re prepared, you shouldn’t should observe as a lot. You must simply type of go simply get warmed up principally, and a whole lot of instances, I received’t even hit a ball; I’ll simply go to the placing inexperienced, hit just a few chips and go. However that’s my mentality.”
Simply typical, legendary stuff proper there.
John Daly continues to be an authorized content material machine, and I do know President Trump is doing so much to convey the sport of golf again collectively (PGA and LIV), however I really feel like Daly must be concerned in a roundabout way. Absolutely I can’t be alone in pondering that, proper?
