It’s our 18th episode and it's only fitting that we’re talkin’ golf! In this episode we’re chronicling the career of John Daly, one of the most colorful characters in the history of the sport. We discuss what makes the Diet Coke drinkin', cigarette-smokin', Loudmouth wearin' golfer such a beloved figure in the game. 

From humble beginnings in Dardanelle, Arkansas, John Daly had a natural talent for the game.  When he burst on to the scene in 1991, he resonated with regular working class people almost overnight.

Driving the ball longer than anyone else at the time, John attracted a new demographic to the sport that had never been seen before. His "Grip it and Rip it" attitude would make him a fan favorite but his antics both on and off the course would lead to a turbulent career throughout the decade. 

We're covering the highs and the lows, as well as his experience playing against a scrawny kid with a funny first name. We also discuss his music career and why he is forever indebted to Arnold Palmer. 

In honor of The Players Championship this week, we're teeing up our favorite golf tournaments in our usual segment of The Top 5! Hit It Hard!
