Publisher Description
From the unapologetic bad boy of professional golf comes a rip-roaring account of his rollercoaster life and career
From his battles with alcoholism and gambling addiction to marital problems (his fourth and current wife is facing money-laundering charges) and a highly publicized breakdown during a nationally televised tournament, John Daly has hit into his share of hazards.
Daly’s play-it-as-it-lies approach drives a thrillingly candid memoir of a larger-than-life athlete battling the links, addiction, depression, weight problems, and, perhaps worst of all, divorce lawyers. Taking readers off the fairway and into his million-dollar motorhome for a rollicking ride through his life—a never-ending circuit of booze, golf, country music, and Hooter Girls—Daly reveals how a down home Everyman from Arkansas managed to conquer the greens, dodge the hazards, and finally take control of his life (sort of).
Customer Reviews
My Life in and Out of the Rough
Notwithstanding that John Daly has amassed and blown a fortune in golf, has been divorced four times, because of drinking, yet still says he is not an alcoholic, and has been DQ'd countless times because of his antics, he still remains popular in the golf world.
Not that I want to take anybody's inventory, but the guy wrote a so-so book and exposed the way he has wasted his God-given talent in so many ways. I am way less of a fan of his after reading this book, and to me, Mr. Daly is just another example of train-wreck in progress. What millions of people would give to be blessed with his talent. To write a book, and basically brag about squandering it is reprehensible, but to each his own I guess.
