If John Daly Burying 30 Yard Field Goals While Barefoot Doesn't Signify Football Being Back, Nothing Will

Golf Digest - Last week we excitedly shared an unearthed gem of a video showing John Daly drilling a 50-yard(!) field goal at a Denver Broncos practice three decades ago. Amazing stuff. But today we're equally as excited to share some related news: John Daly still has it.

And by it we mean a booming leg that made him the placekicker for a Missouri high school football team that won a state title four decades ago. Or, rather, a booming foot, because while Daly still kicks lefty, the two-time major champ apparently likes to do his kicking barefooted now.

Not quite 50 yards (probably more like 30), but still impressive. And again, in his bare feet. Talk about an elite athlete. Somehow the NFL season is starting on Thursday and this guy is still a free agent!

I'm at a loss for words after watching that. 

What can't John Daly do? 

I don't care how callused your feet are, how tough you are, how much iron you can pump, kicking a football barefoot, 30 yards through the uprights is no joke.

And John Daley did it with fucking ease.

And being the marketing genius that he is, he then took to Instagram to try and cop a shoe deal out of it.

The original video resurfaced in August as a “throwback Thursday” piece, and during the middle of the Pro-Am on Wednesday, the moment arose to make it happen again.

That first video came when he visited a Denver Broncos practice and nailed a 50-yarder back in the day!

Nothing should surprise you about Daly anymore. 

If I woke up tomorrow and there was video of him going viral doing the olympic rings huffing a grit, like Vince Vaugh in Old School, I wouldn't even blink.
