“Golf is all about 150 yards and in” – John Daly gives out big advice for beginner golfers

John Daly has some key advice for golf beginners. The two-time Major champion believes that youngsters should focus more on chipping and putting.

Daly is one of the most popular golfers and currently competes on the Senior Tour. He has won 19 professional titles in his career, including two Major championships.

A couple of years ago, Daly appeared as a guest on the Full Send Podcast, hosted by Kyle Forgeard and his team. During the podcast, he shared valuable tips for young golfers.

"For all you beginners out there, chip and putt," Daly said in the podcast. "Everybody on tour can hit a driver or a 5 iron, but it's 150 yards and in that means a lot. No guy that wins a golf tournament ever talks about the wedge they hit close out of the rough, they all want to talk about the drive they hit to get them there, but golf is all about 150 yards and in."
