Okay, so today I want to talk about something I saw and did that was a bit out of the ordinary, even for me – John Daly using a golf cart at the PGA Championship. Yep, you heard that right.
It all started a few days ago. I was scrolling through some golf news, and there it was, a headline about John Daly being allowed to use a golf cart. I’ve always been a fan of Daly – he’s like the wild uncle of golf, you know? Always doing things his own way. This time, though, it wasn’t just a quirky choice; he had a real reason.
Getting into the Details
- First off, I dug into why he was using a cart. Turns out, he’s got arthritis in his knee. It’s bad enough that he can’t walk more than six holes. So, the PGA gave him the green light to use a cart, under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Makes sense, right? We want the game to be inclusive.
- Then, I remembered seeing this before. It wasn’t the first time. Back in 2019, at Bethpage Black, he used a cart too. So, this has been going on for a while.
- Next, I watched some footage of him at the tournament. There he was, big John Daly, riding around in his cart. Some people were giving him a bit of a hard time about it, but hey, the guy’s got a legit medical condition.
Digging Deeper
Now, I’m no golf expert, but I know a thing or two about carts. I’ve even tinkered with a few in my time. I started looking into the kind of cart Daly was using. It wasn’t just any cart; it was a lifted golf cart. These things are pretty cool. They give you a smoother ride and better performance. I can see why someone with knee problems would prefer one of these.
My Own Little Experiment
This got me thinking – what if I tried something similar? I don’t have a golf cart, but I do have an old ATV. It’s not quite the same, but it’s got wheels and an engine. So, I spent the afternoon messing around with it, trying to see if I could “lift” it a bit. It was a bit of a mess, I won’t lie. Wrenches everywhere, a bit of oil on the garage floor, the usual. I did manage to raise it a little, though. Not sure it made much of a difference, but it was fun.
Wrapping It Up
So, that’s my story about John Daly and his golf cart. It turned into a bit of an adventure for me, too. I learned a bit more about golf, a bit more about carts, and a whole lot more about how to not lift an ATV. And in the end, I have a bit more respect for Daly. The guy’s a legend, arthritis and all.
That’s all for now. Hope you enjoyed my little adventure. Catch you next time!
