John Daly is one of the oldest players in the golf community today. The PGA Tour pro has made many records on several courses and has played alongside tons of players. However, there was a time when he played with a special partner who was then leading the country. Daly shared his experience after playing a round with the former POTUS Donald Trump.

John Daly shared a picture on social media after playing golf with Donald Trump

John Daly is not very active on Instagram, and usually posts pictures of himself and his family or videos from his tournaments. But he sure did post a picture with the former US President Donald Trump after playing golf with him. The golf ace and Ex-President played a round at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster.

It was right after Daly recovered from his surgery, after he was bitten by a dangerous spider. Daly is known for the color of his pants more than his game on the field. And so, the golfer wore his famous “stars and stripes” shorts during his round with Trump.

Thank you for a great day.” He also mentioned Donald trump’s official Instagram handle in the caption and added, “you are the best!”

Daly got bitten by a venomous spider

Almost a month before his game with Trump, Daly met a rather scary incident. The golfer was bitten by a venomous brown recluse spider while he was on a holiday in England. Daly needed mouth-to-mouth followed by emergency surgery to recover from the spider bite. He was treated for early-stage sepsis after he developed a major infection somewhere around his stomach.

The golfer said that he was in extreme pain, but he still felt lucky to be alive. When the media and his fans asked him to show them a picture of his wound, he refused and said it was “too graphic” to show. His caddie even named him “Caddie Pro” after he recovered from the life-threatening incident.
