John Daly (1) (1966–)

A frank autobiography by one of golf's most talented PGA members, who is also one of the most self-destructive. John shares his version of his life story including substance abuse, marriage and divorce, the tour, gambling, and most other vices. And after all, isn't it his version that matters? Daly comes across as truthful and open, despite the reader wanting to grab him and shake him silly from time to time. Good read, and best of luck to this man.

Irascible golfer John Daly responds to the recent spate of "how-to-golf-like-me" books, including Tiger Woods' bestselling "How I Play Golf" with "Golf My Own Damn Way." The two-time major champion (1991 PGA Championship and 1995 British Open) gives practical advice for the common player to improve and enjoy the game more.

The book is written in the same "grip it and rip it" style of Daly's golf game, with short chapters written on specific topics. Among Daly's advice is shortening warm-up show more times on the practice range, always using a golf cart, and always using enough club. There is a mixture of technical lessons, game management tips, and humorous thoughts about the game.

This is not a book for those just starting to play golf and struggling to learn the rules and the basic techniques. However, if you know roughly how to play the game and are looking for hints of how to get better, this is a fun romp with John Daly leading the way. show less

A very easy to read and honestly written autobiography. John is clearly an impulsive guy (food, booze, women, gambling and lastly - golf!) However the ending, with him doing his own Q&A, looks like he only had so much to write about and needed to fill up the last hundread or so pages.

Still its recommended for easy, enjoyable reading.

A number of good insights from one of the most naturally gifted golfers on how to shave 10 strokes.

Quick read.
