Daly’s played golf with George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush, Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.
HANOVER, Md. – When John Daly plays golf with President Trump, there’s no cheating.
Because, according to Daly, it’s impossible to do so.
« He really doesn’t keep score when I play with him, » Daly said during an event at Maryland Live! Casino. « We go out and have a good time. We just talk about family and stuff like that. We don’t talk politics.
« We don’t even talk golf. We just go out and have a good time. Every time I played with him – even when I played with (George W.) Bush, it wasn’t even about that, it was just going out and having a good time and seeing how the family’s doing and just having a relaxed day. That’s what they need. It’s kind of what I need sometimes. »
When Daly needs to relax, he said he plays with a group of his friends in Florida or some of the Tour players down there. Or, as he said, his « redneck buddies » in Arkansas.
« The beer drinking guys, » he said. « I’ll play with my brother – he’s my superintendent – we’ll go play with him. My singing buddy, we call him ‘The Human Jukebox.’ Monty, who owns the bar down the street. There’s about 20 of us, we’ll go out and just play golf and not care about the world and just listen to music and go. »
Daly said of the American presidents he’s played golf with, George H. W. Bush was probably the best. Trump, he said, is « pretty good. »
« (Bill) Clinton couldn’t play at all – Clinton was Mr. Mulligan – but I think Bush Sr. was probably the best that I played with, » he said. « (George W.) Bush was OK. Just not quite as good as (his dad) was. »
