John Daly denied cart

[SpokaneCY]

Daly asked to use a cart at the open starting in a few weeks and was denied. He has arthritis in his knee apparently.

I thought part of professional golf was also walking the 7-8 miles a day on the course since it's an athletic endeavor.

Kinda seems like a basketball players getting a doctors note so he doesn't have to get back on defense.

I honestly thought John Daly died of alcoholism and general body abuse a decade ago...

I wouldn't mind if they just let everyone use carts and speed the game up. I enjoy watching but would enjoy more if it didn't take 6+ hours to play 18

Daly shouldn't have been allowed a cart in the PGA Championship either this year IMO. Glad that The Open isn't allowing it. Fact of the matter is that Daly is a fat, lazy guy who has let himself go to hell and that's why he can no longer walk a course.

As for taking 6+ hrs for them to play, that's because they play WAY too slow... not because they don't walk fast enough.

Yeah! They should all have to carry their own clubs and wash their own balls too!

Hey, it’s nice to have someone else wash your balls every now and then.

No disagreement there.

Saw Daly at the Principal Charity Classic and he looks like ****. Doesn't move well at all. He definitely has some issues going on. I agree with others, his lifestyle choices does not make him a sympathetic figure. He can still rip it though!

He should be allowed a cart ONLY if his score was strictly ceremonial. And his presence did not cut some other golfer from the field.

Idk enough about golf but has he always just kind of been a sideshow? Or was he considered like a great talent at some point.

He has 2 major tournament wins. And 5 total. He won the PGA Championship his first year on the tour.
He should be jn the hall of fame someday. Might take a bit longer as he has gone to **** lately but he should get in. He was well known for his long drives also.

mullets make life more interesting......just don't bore me. I would have no problem if a Happy Gilmore made the tour and smoked and drank while he played....fun to watch.

Seniors at most other tournaments use a cart.

Make every player take a shot and a bong rip before every drive. Now that would be entertaining.

 

[3TrueFans]

I imagine the course they're playing at doesn't even have carts.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

I wouldn’t want to walk 36 holes either

John Daly will not be in the Hall of Fame someday. It's not even a given that Zach Johnson will be in with 2 majors and 12 PGA victories. Many criticized that Fred Couples made it with 1 major and 15 PGA victories. Just my two cents worth.

**** I might actually have in interest in golf if that was a thing.
