European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 16, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday August 16, 1991 the stars and stripes b Page 25the Road that awaits Daly by Jim litre the associated press he was golfs original country boy with the Long swing and the longer drives. And he too got More free advice than he Ever bargained for. A lose and  leave you to yourself commentary a now people Are going to Tell him he can to keep doing that. And in a sure he does no to need any More advice. But id Tell him keep doing it for As Long As you can. A a he a just 25, so maybe he a got a Good pretty much. But win and people will time to go before father time cuts in. 1 stand in line to fill your head with All did no to Start cutting Back my swing unti45 kinds of ideas a 79-year-old Sam Snead or  recalled with a laugh. By then most but not All of Snead so i showed up swinging the club Back remarkable accomplishments in the game past parallel and after id won my first had already been secured a seven a few tournaments somebody was always jars 81 tour victories four Vardon Tro pulling me aside. They a look real serious and say a Sam shorten up that  or they a say a Box  or do this or do that a so yeah a Snead said a i guess you could say i know a Little bit about what this John Daly Fella is going to go  they called him slamming Sammy when he joined the tour in the mid-1930s, and like Long John Snead was largely self taught. A growing up Back Here in the Sticks a he said Over the Telephone from his Virginia farm a you did no to see too Many people who played really Well. I picked up some things on the course a i started cad dying at the age of 7 a and i used to shag balls for my older brother Homer. He had a real Nice smooth swing. A but mine was pretty much my own. I used to work on making it what i Call a oily a with no hitches. It seemed to me that when the screw gets Down tight those fellas with hitches got one More thing you done to need to worry  then As now there was a Host of Long pies and the Hall of Fame. He has won 13 times on the senior tour since and playing against the youngsters at the Quad cities open in 1979, he became the first Man to shoot his age a 67 a then shot 66 the following Day. Jim Daly Johns 58-year-old father was Quick to admit he had no clue whether flexibility was built into the family genes. But he certainly Hopes so. He shoots in the Low 90s How Hasni to beat his son since John was 9, and is fast losing Hope of Ever doing so again. A i Cut Down a 9-Iron for John when he was 4 or 5, and i had a Book by Tommy Armour that i based my teaching him on. But i can to take much credit for him. A i Only gave him advice on How to grip the club and where to stand. You Doin give a 4-year-old a whole lot of instruction. And ill be darned a the elder Daly a construction worker said from the family Home in Dardanelle ark., a if he Wasny to hitting it Over the House two or three Days  at age 6, Jim Daly gave his son a set of full sized clubs autographed by Jack Nicklaus whom the younger Daly had Ball hitters who made the galleries howl seen on to and was trying to Model his for a while but whose careers ended swing after. Quietly in the Woods Well off the fairways. A the never had a Junior set and i never nobody remembers Chick Harbert or got to Cut them Down. He loved the game Jimmy Thompson any More. But nobody so much he just grabbed the clubs that who Ever saw him swing can forget Sam first Day and ran to the course. And so Snead. He hit it Long a around 275 Yards now in a telling everybody that a where he at a time when the big hitters were got his Power even though i have no idea tapped out at 260 a but he also hit it if its True. Straight. And still does. A but he was still fairly Small at that a a that a going to be his Challenge right age and when he would take them there a Snead said. A right now that club Back a Jim Daly said a they were so heavy comes around on one Side to where he that he had to build this Nice Long swing can see it and when he finishes he can  see it again. In a what they Call Loose Here a hoping it stays that Way. For a jointed but even i got to Marvel at him. Long Long Long time. Current Long driving sensation John Daly 25, displays a a below parallel Bunyan esque a clawing that slamming Sam Snead below says he used until he was 45 years old.  cagers open Warmup slate tonight by Klint Johnson assistant sports editor Langen Germany a the armed forces All stars who will represent the .
