Chronicling the ups and downs of the amazing world of John Daly, this award-winning book has now been brought right up to date to include all the latest details of Daly’s career and family adventures, which include a long-awaited comeback for the natural-born golfer with the ‘killer swing’ and the arrest of his ex-wife for drug-smuggling. From his unexpected win in the 1991 USPGA Championship at Crooked Stick, Indianapolis, to a shocking descent into alcoholism, gambling addiction and more incidents and accidents than most people would encounter in one – maybe two – lifetimes, here is the story of a man who has been in rehab twice, fought with fans, clocked up three ex-wives and blown $10 million on a three-year gambling spree. He has trashed his house, wrecked hotel rooms and spurned multi-million dollar sponsorship deals rather than give up drinking. Yet despite his trials and tribulations, John Daly remains the biggest draw in the game. His no-nonsense ‘grip it and rip it’ philosophy has struck a chord with golf fans the world over and his length off the tee is truly the stuff of legend.
