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. 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.

In 2009, Tiger Woods was the most famous athlete on the planet, a transcendent star of almost unfathomable fame and fortune living what appeared to be the perfect life - married to a Swedish beauty and the father of two young children. Winner of 14 major golf championships and 79 PGA Tour events, Woods was the first billion-dollar athlete, earning more than $100 million a year in endorsements from the likes of Nike, Gillette, AT&T, and Gatorade. But it was all a carefully crafted illusion. As it turned out, Woods had been living a double life for years.

Great Story
I'm too young to have watched Arnold Palmer on tour but I enjoy golf, drink lots of Arnold Palmer iced tea/lemonades, and own some golf items with the colored umbrella on them. This biography does a good job separating chapters of Mr. Palmers career, life, and business ventures and allows the reader or listener into Arnold Palmers beliefs and upbringing. You don't need to be a golf nut to read this book; I would even argue the younger generations can learn more from Mr. Palmer than anyone.

A True Gentlemen Playing a Gentlemen's Sport
Arnold Palmer's life story in his own words and read with reverence by Rich Lerner from the Golf Channel. He was a humble, but proud man whose character was shaped by a firm but loving father, whom he affectionately referred to as Pap. This book traces Arnold's life from humble beginnings as the son of a hard working survivor of the depression. His father was a self taught greens keeper and agronomist who would go on to become a self taught head professional at Latrobe Country Club. Under his father's tutelage, Arnold would go on to become the pre-eminent golfer of his time. Like all sports legends, his greatness was ultimately overcome by younger and stronger competitors, primarily in the form of Jack Nicklaus. Unlike many athletes that might become bitter or spiteful as another great rival begins to emerge, Arnold's true character is shown by the fact that the two rivals would go on to become great friends and business associates. To my surprise, Arnold's many athletic achievements may have only been eclipsed by his homespun business acumen that allowed him to become one of sport's wealthiest atheletes.
A great read/listen.
