I understand that John Daley has gone through some tough times but what the hell is going on while this athletic apparel? Caddyshack is about 30 years old and I now feel like Judge Smails or Spaulding has been reborn watching Daley’s recent new golf apparel at the British and the PGA. Did he suffer a blow to the head recently or is he paying tribute to the 40th anniversary of Woodstock? I’d understand torn jeans and a sleeveless tee but not whatever paisley print he was wearing.
I’ve got to admit that I’m a big John Daley fan – what golf fan doesn’t want to smash a drive 350 yards and have the incredible touch he had? I’m also an optimist and have hoped that he would be able to pull his life out of the nose dive it was taking for the past decade because he would be the ultimate foe for Tiger. It would be corporate Tiger vs beer chugging John. The differences can’t get more pronounced than that and the tv ratings would go through the roof which would mean golf apparel companies would be able to show their newest golf clothes to a much larger audience. However, with the recent golf apparel John is wearing, I don’t know if that would be good or bad for all golf clothes companies.
It has often been said that all publicity is good publicity and the fact that I’m posting this article means that both the PGA and John Daley are getting publicity. In my mind, this is “My Life on the D List” type publicity which has a shorter attention period than actually winning a tournament, any tournament! Maybe this is a situation of “crazy like a fox” and Daley is launching these new men’s golf clothes to the general public (doubt this will become women’s golf clothes anytime soon). I do see college kids wearing this type of clothes so maybe I’m too old to understand this is on fashion. I guess time will tell but I’d love to hear what company is selling the new golf apparel that John Daley is now wearing. Please send a twitter note to @athleticapparel or post a comment here so that we can share this news with all of our readers. This will be very useful information so that people know what company to search to buy those clothes or to know what company to organize a protest against.
In my mind, I hope Peta organizes a protest against John so that we can go back to the good old boy Daley look and normal men’s golf clothes, if there is such a thing. However, that is only my opinion – what is yours? Please comment and thank you for visiting my blog.

John Daly goes through this “born again” phase about every 5 years. I’ve stuck up for him in the past, but this song and dance is getting old. He’s not an everyman likes most people say. Not every man wins multiple major golf championships, gambles away millions of dollars and has numerous wives. I hope he works through it this time, but I have a tough time believing that it will end will for Long John Daly.
