We’ve seen the big numbers and rage-filled moments from John Daly before, but launching a club into the water is a new one. Daly usually mails it in via different DGAF ways but with Lake Michigan right there, he decided to take advantage of the scenery and dispose of a club. The launch came after he posted a 10 on a par-3.

Daly’s loss, however, was another young enterprising fan’s gain.
