Shoeless John Daly drives a ball off a beer can and chugs it, all while smoking

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

At this point we all know John Daly’s legendary exploits, but perhaps no video has ever captured his nature as well as him driving a golf ball off a beer can and then chugging the beer.

Behold the beauty, the glory. A full crowd of holiday-goers waiting to watch Daly drive the ball off a beer can. There are four key things that makes this moment amazing.

  1. Obviously the beer can being used as a tee. It’s hard to tell whether this is a really skinning Michelob Ultra can, or a 24 oz can of Bud Light — but either way it’s great.
  2. Smoking while driving — flawlessly.
  3. Party shorts that would make Jimmy Buffet jealous.
  4. No shoes, no problem.

After driving the ball, Daly runs to the fallen beer like a new parent rushes to the changing table when their baby is about to roll off.

You keep doing you, John Daly — responsibly.
