John Daly Driver Giveaway

Did anyone see that video of John Daly crushing a golf ball off a beer can last week? I just saw a post on Facebook where you can win a driver if you reenact the shot.

 

 

Anyone else see this or know if it is legit?

Funny story. Early 2000's, want to say 2002 my dad and I went to The Memorial in Dublin OH. We we're in the process of walking the course when somewhere around hole 7-8 John Daly was playing. We hear "FORE Left!!!" And duck our head as that's where we were. A ball goes whizzing by our heads and comes to rest in the left rough/tree line. A group of about 8 people gather round it and in a few minutes up comes John Daly. He sees us, sees where his ball is, and since he's still carrying his driver he hands it to the guy standing immediately to my left and says "here you go". The guy, dumbfounded asks "I can have it?" And John says "it's all yours. I don't want it". Lol. One of the other guys in the group immediately offers the guy that had his driver $500.00 for it to which he politely but firmly declined. He did let me take a peak at it, it was a Titleist with 5.5 degrees of loft (iirc).

 

Daly played out the rest of the round hitting his FW off the tee (not any better than his driver as he shot somewhere around 80 and missed the cut). I've always had a soft spot in my heart for him and his struggles. A normal guy with normal problems that due to incredible flexibility was able to do extraordinary things.
