Golf

Whereas most golf books are stiff, formal and paralysing, Grip It and Sip It will get readers to loosen up and play golf the way it was meant to be played: The John Daly Way. A funny and ribald golf book from the game's most colourful and controversial figure -- and least likely guru. Since his coming-from-nowhere win at the PGA Championship in 1991, John Daly, known affectionately on the PGA tour as the 'Big Un', has enthralled fans with his big drives, bigger personality, and 'grip it and rip it' philosophy of both golf and life. Falstaffian, unpredictable, often seen with a Marlboro hanging from his lip and frequently in the company of his best friend, Jack Daniels, Daly is the unapologetic bad boy of professional golf. 'The only rules I follow,' he likes to say, 'are the rules of golf.' Daly's last book, My Life in and out of the Rough, was a thrillingly candid memoir of a larger-than-life athlete battling the links, addiction., depression, weight problems, and divorce lawyers.
