John Daly BBQ to celebrate it’s 1 year anniversary

Russ Christy — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 03:39:45 +0000

One year ago, John Daly BBQ opened it’s doors to the world wide web. During this time, we have helped barbequers fulfill their summer outings. When the grill was placed in a dormant stage and covered with snow, people continued to tame their barbeque appetite through us. We have met many great people who have purchased our products and they have come back for more. Check out our site to see what some of our customers are saying.

To celebrate our 1 year anniversary, John Daly BBQ is giving away a 2 Rib/1 pound Pork Combination package. Tell us about your experience with our site and your name will be entered into our drawing. Contest ends, July 31st and the winner will be announced August 15th.

We want to personally thank those who have supported us and look forward to seeing them again. We look forward to those who have not yet tried our barbeque and welcome you to check us out.

John Daly making friends along with a fashion statement

Russ Christy — Wed, 26 May 2010 01:39:17 +0000

FORT WORTH – John Daly had the largest following at Monday’s Hagan pro-am for the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. Wearing diamond-patterned pants in two shades of blue was a bonus for the players and fans.

“I told him I loved the pants” said Ashlan Wiley, a volunteer caddie. “He said, ‘Thank you, hon.’ ”

John Daly, a five-time PGA tour winner, chatted with the players and caddies, singed autographs, and paused for photographs while walking from green to tee boxes.

With a recent hip problem, Daly has had problems returning to the PGA Tour on a regular basis. The effort of last year’s lap-band surgery and better diets has kept the former 300-pounder at a steady 185.

“Everything else is great,” Daly said.

Daly’s playing partner was easily won over by his new look.

“Watching all his trials and tribulations, watching him coming back, and being with him in person is fabulous,” amateur Scott Summers said. “His weight loss is amazing. What’s even more amazing is the force that he strikes the ball with.”

This year Daly has played in nine events and making the cut in six consecutive tournaments. The hip problem forced him to withdraw on Sunday from his two most recent tournaments. Daly last played Colonial in 1999.

Daly is expected to play in the St. Jude Classic Tournament in Memphis, TN June 10-13.

John Daly: Street Vendor in Augusta

John Daly has parked his 45-foot RV across the street from Augusta National and set up shop at the Masters, selling hats, T-shirts, towels and other memorabilia. Loudmouth and Lion Gear will be sold at 2635 Washington Rd (Windsor Jewelers), Monday – Saturday.

Daly is autographing merchandise and has songs from his CD blaring on speakers. It’s not the first time Daly has set up shop at the Masters. He first did it in 2007, hanging out at the local Hooters signing autographs.

Hopefully one of these years we will see The Lion qualify to play in the Masters. His last appearance was in 2006 when he missed the cut. That was also the last time he held his PGA Tour card. For now, though, he’ll be the guy peddling his wares in front of a huge RV.

John Daly Not Retiring

John Daly - Hole 5 at Torrey Pines

“never said retirement in anything or twitter-i want to correct that! simply sayin I need my time & working through these bad times thank you”

“i want to thank my fans throughout all these years & I don’t like to continue to embarass myself– maybe my mind may change down the road but right now i don’t have the money to be on the tour. My game has never been the same since my rib injury during the Honda Classic in 2007. God Bless! JD”

These are just a few things John Daly posted on his Twitter account and Facebook about his comment of quitting golf. After failing to make the cut at Torrey Pine ( Farmers Insurance Open), John made a comment to the Golf Channel producer he was quitting golf.

I don’t see John leaving the game he loves. With the injury at the Honda Classic in 2007 and his rapid weight loss, his body is having a tough time adjusting to the demand of the game.

John will be back and we believe you will find him at the AT&T Pebble Beach tournament, February 8-14th.

Your man cave needing that one decoration you been waiting for? Well, just in time for Christmas, you can now have that one decoration on your walls with John Daly.
That’s right… John Daly!
Fathead Wall Graphics has introduced a golf line of over-sized wall decals, starting with John Daly in his Loudmouth pants. Now you can watch golf tournaments, Arkansas Hogs and Dallas Cowboys on Saturday and Sundays side-by-side with one of the sport’s most popular players.
The Fathead decal is 2 feet 7 inches wide and 6 feet 2 inches tall. When you purchase your John Daly Fathead decal (available at fathead.com for $99.99) you will receive nine extra Daly-related smaller posters.
Fathead brags that ordinary golf posters simply don’t measure up. “Try to find a John Daly poster this big and bold – no way,” Fathead adds.
Not only can you watch your favorite sport with John Daly, you can also eat his famous barbeque with Big John!

According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the United States last year. The ACS also reports that an estimated 40,610 breast cancer deaths are expected in 2009 (40,170 women, 440 men).
