John Daly WITB 2018

Daly had the Vertical Groove driver as an addition to his bag at the beginning of the 2018 season. He noted that the use of Nunchuk shafts changed his game and the feel in his wedges and driver was consistent.

His participation in the 2018 Open Championship at the Carnoustie Golf Links in Angus, Scotland, was affected when tournament organizers refused his use of a buggy due to a problematic arthritic knee.

Here is a look at the equipment that was in his bag during the season:

Driver: Vertical Groove Driver with Nventix Precision Nunchuk Shaft
3 wood: Ping G Stretch with Nventix Precision Nunchuk Shaft
2 Iron: Ping Crossover with Nventix Precision Nunchuk-370 Shaft
Irons: Ping i200 with Nunchuk xi Shafts
Wedges: TaylorMade Milled Grind wedges with Nunchuk xi Shafts
Putter: Ping Anser

His performance in the 2018 season was interrupted by an osteoarthritic infection in his right knee. He pulled out from the U.S. Senior Open and made the announcement through his Twitter account. John’s TaylorMade Milled Grind Wedges have tape on them. The tape is meant to improve the weight of the club and impact the swing.

PGA Tour Champions

John Daly’s reputation as the biggest hitter on the PGA and the unpredictable way he played the game made him famous. He is everything an amateur golfer would want to be given that he won his first tournament at the tender age of 13 when he was barely a grown man.

He has five wins, the last one being the Buick Invitational in 2004 where he won the playoff after a tie with Luke Donald. He won with a birdie on the first extra hole after Luke Donald missed a six-foot birdie putt.

John’s son, John Daly II is doing things on the circuit that make him exceptionally proud. John Dally II followed his father’s footsteps by playing collegiate golf at the University of Arkansas where his dad played between 1984-1987. This may be seen as a reflection of each other, with the younger John taking his father’s golfing path.
