Summary
Ever since his astonishing victory in the 1991 PGA Championship, John Daly has enthralled fans with his big drives, bigger personality, and "Grip It and Rip It" approach to golf - and to life. Usually seen with a Marlboro Light dangling from his lip, John is the unchained, unpredictable, unapologetic bad boy of professional golf. "The only rules I follow", JD likes to say, "are the Rules of Golf."
My Life in and out of the Rough is a thrillingly - and sometimes shockingly - candid memoir of a larger-than-life athlete battling assorted addictions (alcohol, gambling, chocolate, sex), his weight, and, perhaps worst of all, divorce lawyers. (He's been married four times.)
A two-time major winner before he turned 30, John Daly is one of the most popular athletes in the world. Taking listeners with him off the fairway and into his $1.5-million motor home for a rollicking ride through his life - an ever-churning world of booze, burgers, casinos, country music, and breathtaking moonshots - Daly reveals how a down-home Everyman from Arkansas managed to rise to the peak of the golf world, escape from the depths of abject depression, and, finally, take control of his life.
Well, sort of.

Review of John Daley’s book

Under delivered
John has an amazing story to tell but this book lacks depth. Especially in regards to his golfing life and experiences on the tour. I also struggled with the narrator which was very different from the way John speaks. Self narration would have proved the overall experience for me.

pretty good story but didn't like the narration
any longer and I would have got bored. got to love JD but didn't enjoy the narration. probably fine if you are from the deep south but a bit annoying otherwise. some great anecdotes which he could have made more of and some dull bits like the 4 wives which went on a bit long

Fascinating Story
Loved it, what a great golfing character. So much talent and so much wildness lol. Great story of his story, covering all the highs and lows. Very truthful and doesn't pull the punches. Really enjoyed the book and well worth the listen.

Big John
Shows how professional golfers have to go to hell and back but we only see them on tour living their best life.
