IF you thought the world of golf had already gone mad, what with $10 million prize funds in Dubai and square drivers galore, then get ready for this - John Daly has written a golf instruction book.
That’s right, John Daly has followed up his best selling autobiography: My Life In And Out Of The Rough with his very own words of wisdom on the intricacies of the game, entitled: Golf My Own Damn Way - The Real Man's Guide to Improving Your Game.
Daly has collaborated with Glen Waggoner and you can bet that the minute it lands in the NCG office I’ll be the first to take advantage of tips like these.
* Letting your belly lead your swing - "You can't see your own belt buckle so focus on that little extra hanging over your belt. For some of us that's easier than others.”
* Get your head out of the game: "The No 1 obstacle to hitting a good golf shot is your head. Not moving it or anything. Using it."
* Leave the Big Dog in your trunk: "You're going to think this really sounds weird coming from me, Mr. Grip It and Rip It. Seat belts fastened? Okay, here it comes: The next round you play, leave your driver in the trunk of your car."
Other priceless quotes include his plans to convince the PGA Tour to let him wear Bermuda shorts, make carts mandatory and strip-search spectators to keep mobiles and cameras off the course.
Now this probably isn’t going to achieve the same results as the offerings from David Leadbetter, Dave Peltz or Nick Faldo, but you’re going to have twice as much fun in the process.
If you’ve taken time out to read the first hilarious and intriguing insight into the life of John Daly then this is surly unmissable. I read it on a train from Glasgow to Sheffield and never once put it down.
In fact, its hold was just as tight as Daly’s Grip It and Rip It philosophy. If you too have shared this experience then another biography to delve into is Bud, Sweat and Tees, by Alan Shipnuck that charts the astronomical rise to fame of Rich Beem.
Happy reading!!
