Doing “some things,” John gave Says, it’s okay. But just a few.
When golf drills extend it, he worries.
“I think the hardcore that works abroad will hurt these boys,” the great winner said twice, “and they will not play when they are 55, 60 years old.”
Daly was talking in the latest podcast episode “Like a Farmer” – which you can Listen completely here – and his opinion came after discussing Tiger Woodswhich is usually appreciated with the popularization of the strength and fitness training in modern -day golf. Dary said he believed that excessive could hinder someone, however, and that you don’t have to work so hard to play golf.
Yes, he knows what you are thinking – and he said he is not using thought as an excuse not to work on his own.
“I think working out,” said Dary in Podcast, “I think many boys lose their flexibility and so many boys are mechanics, too, they don’t have many. It means their body is not equipped To take the club again as much as I can or is not lucky to be as flexible as possible, but they work strong in the game and taking their pace exactly the way they want it, but I guess work out hurts Many of these people, I really do. “
Is there truth about what Daly says? Simply put, excessive gym work can damage; Every fitness instructor will tell you this. And what works for one person will not necessarily work for another. But accurate out -of -course training, under the right direction, has shown to provide rewards such as distance, flexibility and durability, along with being safe. There is more than, say, bench pressure.
Some, of course, can survive without much training. In Podcast, the host Pat Spinosa asked Dary what his training routine looked like.
Short game, he said.
“My only was the practice of wedges and chips and dressing throughout the day,” Daly said in Podcast. “I could do it all day; That’s all I did. You know, people say I don’t practice much, but they don’t know. When I go on a tour, if you’re not ready, you don’t have to practice as much as possible – just have to go just warm up, and many times, I will not even hit a ball; I will simply go to the green setting, I will hit some chips and go. But this is my mentality.

“And you have to understand, playing with these guys when I went out on the tournament was like, hey, you know, let’s go out and eat and drink some drinks, we play golf, we practice a little and we can start Drinking is the way I went to Golf until ’96, 7, 8, whenever Tiger came out and started training. Most and it would seem, what, Mr. Olympia?
But there is something he would do, he said in Podcast.
Back to that short game he thought.
“Yes, they hit him a mile and stuff,” Daly said in Podcast. “But what happened was that I have seen, would these kids go better in the range of direction and see if they could hit him 350, but that’s great, but can you chip and decide? When I retire from this game – I hope I live enough – man, I would like to help these children with a short game because I feel like I am – I have felt for me and can work with me with mechanics. would be something that I I could really turn it into the game.
“Tougher for amateurs because especially – if they are not beginners, but if an amateur is set in their own ways, you can teach them some things, but more or less for me, I would like to learn professionals, To help professionals. ”
