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).

    This is an entertaining read, but it does get old reading how sorry JD feels/felt for himself. The most annoying part is the way he "humbly" drops stories of how great of a person he is...he likes to toot his own horn and let you know he is the nicest guy in the world. Overall it's interesting to read about his screwed up life, but there are many parts that should just be skimmed over.

    I liked the read, but it becomes painfully obvious how in denial this douche is about his vices. All in all, I had a much better view of John Daly before I read this book. And I'm not referring to the alcohol use. He mentions a few times that he started to get the feeling his wives were "only in it for the money". Ya think, John?

    If you ever wondered about this man, here is your answer. I have the actual book but glad I can still leave comments! A must read for golfers.
