John Daly is a fun-loving golfer. While many tend to show their good mannerism on the course, he loves to have fun. From his clothes to his mannerism, Daly proved that one doesn’t need to be serious on the course to be the best.

In a professional tournament or other, most golfers wear a collared t-shirt and Docker-style shorts or slacks. And there are some golf courses, where they won’t let you play if you are not in the “proper” attire.

However, Daly would choose not to play at such a course rather than changing his clothes. He always dresses in either bright colors or with random patterns on them.
