Usually seen with a cigarette dangling from his lip, Long John is the unchained, unpredictable, unapologetic bad boy of professional golf. My Life In and Out of the Rough is the thrillingly—and sometimes shockingly—candid memoir of a larger-than-life athlete battling assorted addictions (alcohol, gambling, chocolate, sex), his weight, and divorce lawyers (having been married four times). Carrying readers off the fairway and into his $1.5-million motor home, Daly takes us on a rollicking ride through his ever-churning world of burgers, booze, casinos, country music, and breathtaking moon shots—and reveals how a down-home Arkansas Everyman rose to the pinnacle of the golf world, escaped from the depths of abject depression, and, ultimately, took control of his life.

 Rating:  - Nothing short of Incredible!A wonderful glance into the remarkable and troubled life of an amazing golfer and a truly incredible man! John has always been my favorite golfer. I picked this book up due to a recommendation by a friend. I found that once I started reading I could not put the book down until it was finished. This book goes into the shortcomings and triumphs of the most diverse golfer that the game has ever seen. Some people love to hate John, and others would love to hang out with him. ...

He is admittedly self-destructive and the story is not all that fascinating. I'm glad I bought a used copy for very little. Rating: - Awesome bookWhat an awesome book. I think I read this in a day! I couldn't put it down. John is sure a good ole boy! Rating: - This book carries the same excitement as watching John tee it up on SundayFirst off I must tell you that I am a fan of John Daly and his incredible natural talents. This book uncovered every detail of John's life from a kid, through two major wins, and onto where he is today. I enjoyed every page and was glad to see John tell it like it is. This book is an easy read, partly because it carries a 4th grade reading level. However, the book does a good job of revealing all the truths. Yes, most readers may have different views on John's alcoholic dependance, but one thing is ... Read More Rating: - Good ReadJohn Daly has interested me for a long time. I suppose the whole under-dog thing, going up against the odds, etc. But I really enjoyed reading this book. Thought it was an easy read and well written since it was refreshingly naked in terms of a person just showing all there is to show. I would recommend it especially since it is so opposite of the whole stuffy professional golf player fraternity.
