Former AFL star Dale “Daisy” Thomas is launching a new golf show on Channel 7, titled Teeing Off with Daisy Thomas.
Here’s the Lowdown: Thomas, known for his time with Collingwood and Carlton, will host the new show, which will air on Channel 7. He is already a commentator for both Channel 7 (AFL) and Triple M radio.
What This Means Now: Thomas is expanding his media presence beyond football commentary. The show caters to the everyday, or “average,” golfer.
The Bigger Picture: This move represents a trend of athletes transitioning into media roles, often focusing on areas outside their primary sport. It also reflects the increasing popularity of golf and the demand for related content. Thomas had been overlooked for a radio show and is now focusing, or at least part-focusing on a different sport.
