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.
