The 2016 Sr. PGA Championship at Harbor Shores.

He wouldn’t be John Daly if there wasn’t some kind of excitement following him around.

Wednesday at the 2016 Sr. PGA Championship Daly was out playing the Harbor Shores golf Course for the first time. The fans on hand were anxious to see Long John hit the “Big Stick” and for their enjoyment he did.

After his practice round Daly joined the media to talk about his transformation to the Champions Tour and Senior Golf. One hint ! he is excited about it.

In recent years Daly hasn’t gotten into as many tournaments as he wanted to play, now on the Champions Tour he will have a regular schedule. Daly says after having a knee drained a few months back, he is as healthy as he can be. He admits there about 6-7 holes on the Jack Nicklaus designed course that “don’t fit his eye” so he does not have big expectations for this week. But will try and make as many birdies as possible.
