Ok... One thing that impressed me... Someone who looks like that is younger than me. By almost two years.
Even if you’re not a golfer, I’m surprised you didn’t really know anything about Daly. He’s a minor cultural icon figure from the 90s. He’s lived a rough & rowdy lifestyle, but unlike the vast majority of successful golfers, he grew up in a poor and dysfunctional family. That’s why people relate to him, he’s a blue collar guy in a white collar game. He’s also got a very laid back personality and people relate to that.
He has said many times that he never thought he’d make it to 50 years old, but he did. I had the opportunity to see him play at a PGA tournament near the tail end of his career. Despite his high score, it was fascinating to see the shots he could hit from areas that others just couldn’t pull off. Tiger Woods famously said that Daly was a more talented golfer than him—it’s too bad Daly struggled with his demons and couldn’t win more. Still, two majors and several other worldwide tournament wins isn’t too shabby. I’d be willing to bet that Davis Love would gladly trade his 20+ PGA titles for an extra major in order to have two instead of one.
I've definitely picked up on what you said. I totally get that relatable personality thing. I suppose he's one of many boats I've missed. I may have heard of him but it never registered with me. I'm just not that much into "cultural icons".
I kind of think of Bill Clinton as the John Daly of presidents lol. Even people who despised Clinton’s policies and behavior had a difficult time really, truly hating the guy. Some people just have a charisma to them that makes it difficult to despise. (Now that I’ve said that, I’m blowing the dog whistle to invite everyone on here to tell me how I’m dead wrong!)
That’s because you’re not a golfer, not because you’re holy.
Well put. The whole Sinatra "My Way" thing has always been very distasteful to me. That is a position I picked up early in my foray in IFB and that has stuck with me to this day.
I'll never claim to be holy. I suggest you remember that. There are, however, positions I gravitate to which I can only claim are a matter of my tastes. Whether they align with holiness or not is God's call, not yours or mine.
I understand that you didn’t claim to be holy, it just comes off like that. I’ve seen people on here (you?) prattle on like an encyclopedia when it comes to some of the old rock bands. I wonder how their lives would compare with Daly’s? Daly hasn’t been a drinker in years, but yes, he’s admitted to being a former alcoholic. (Are you a former drinker?) Daly’s been married/divorced. (You?)
Ok, so this conversation needs transferred to the other thread thenI kind of think of Bill Clinton as the John Daly of presidents lol. Even people who despised Clinton’s policies and behavior had a difficult time really, truly hating the guy. Some people just have a charisma to them that makes it difficult to despise. (Now that I’ve said that, I’m blowing the dog whistle to invite everyone on here to tell me how I’m dead wrong!)
I definitely draw mine at Dallas Cowgirl fans.Everybody’s boundary for “separation” looks different. I draw mine at SEC/ACC fans.
(Still a Bungles fan, but now we can be called the Bengals once more)
I’m an ACC guy, but an SEC guy at heart. Other than Clemson, the ACC just doesn’t send a tickle up my leg.Everybody’s boundary for “separation” looks different. I draw mine at SEC/ACC fans.
I’ve always liked the underdog Bengals. Being a lifelong Bucs fan (I never switched allegiances to the Panthers), I can identify with the Bengals.I was a hapless Bungles fan as a small kid so I started rooting for America’s Team for awhile to fill the void, but thankfully my three older brothers beat that out of me.
