Canned and bottled beverages pay the ultimate price in honor of John Daly’s 50th birthday

John Daly, upon turning 50 on Thursday, inspired tributes and looks back at the highs and lows, the shirted and shirtless, the shoed and the shoeless moments of his colorful and controversial career. None, however, seemed quite so fitting or sentimental as his son recalling dad smacking a golf ball off a beer can.

Little John, of course, paid homage to Long John’s current habit of drinking 10 to 12 cans of Coka-Cola a day, while an LPGA player went old school a la the old beer can trick.

Jaye Marie Green, clad in a JD tee, sent her birthday wishes Daly’s way ahead of this week’s Volunteers of America Texas Shootout on the LPGA Tour. The birthday boy, himself, is set to take the Champions Tour by storm when the two-time major champion makes his debut among the over-50 set at next week’s Insperity Invitational.
