The grip it & rip it proponent’s twang off the tee, supersized gut and garish Loudmouth threads tend to draw the lion’s share of John Daly headlines these days but lately his music is doing the talking.

JD’s ‘I Hit it Hard’ a rock inflected track Daly sings about not holding back, living large and hitting long.  The ditty which feels a lot life Blake Shelton meets Bon Jovi after downing a couple sweet tea & lemonade vodka cocktails scored an A+ with  country music life’s @dayneshuda and is currently heating up the dial.   Though even Shuda is bemused why the three-year-old song is getting airplay now : “The fact that this song is getting played on SiriusXM now caught me off guard.

Ryan Palmer and Lee Westwood must have really loved chowing down on Jason Dufner’s ‘Butt Rubbed” Filet Mignon last night, they lead the PGA Championship along with Kevin Chappell at -6 after Thursday's round at Valhalla. 

As per tradition the reigning champion picks the menu and the cheeky moniker of the steak with skillet sweet potatoes, sautéed Kale and a peach sauce was the reigning champion was a reference to the friendly rear end pat on the 18th green that Dufner laid on his wife after he won the championship last year.
