Product Description

If you know anything at all about John Daly—and if you don't, what in the hell are you doing with this book in your hands?—you know he approaches the game of golf from an, uh, slightly different perspective than your average two-time major winner.

How different? Well, for starters, Long John thinks the PGA Tour ought to permit Bermuda shorts, make carts mandatory, let him wear his hair down to his butt if he wants to, and strip-search tournament patrons at the entrance gate to keep cameras and cell phones off the course.

In Golf My Own Damn Way, you'll take a virtual ride on Big John's magic bus as he tells you the best way to grip it so you can rip it. Looking for a sure cure to bunkerphobia? It's here. A one-hour golf lesson that's 100 percent guaranteed to make you a better golfer? Ditto. Want to know why you should occasionally leave your big dog in your trunk, how to watch your weight, and what golf and sex have in common? You came to the right book.

And while he's busy explaining all these and many other things, Daly also tells you why you should keep your head out of the game, let your belly lead your hands, listen to your right foot, check your ball position—and buy a hybrid (the club, not the car).

Following in the spike prints of his 2006 bestselling autobiography, My Life In and Out of the Rough, Golf My Own Damn Way is an off-the-wall and intensely personal yet imminently practical and accessible tip sheet on how to cut ten strokes off your score—now.

Two things are certain: you've never seen a golf instructional book quite like this one, and you'll never need another one.

Fairways and greens, Pard!

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, informative, great fun to read, December 2, 2007
By Dave (Portsmouth, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Golf My Own Damn Way: A Real Guy's Guide to Chopping Ten Strokes Off Your Score (Hardcover)
John and his co-writer have pulled off the trick of writing a golf instruction book that is an amusing read and will not send you to sleep within the first few pages or require deep study and a Ph.D in "golf speak". The tone of the book is very chatty and you can almost hear the Big Man talking as you read: it captures his patois and personality really well. Serious students of all things golf may not find much here they do not already know (and I know as I am one of those sad people ...) but honestly it is as close to a good read as a golf instructional could ever get. The subject matter is very wide-ranging, covering preparation, a little technical swing stuff, course management, psychology etc. in bite-sized short chapters. Although strictly speaking the material will be familiar to most seasoned golfers, it is put across in a such a vivid and down-to-earth way that is convincing and motivating. By contrast to most golf instruction which is pretty soporific and requires hard work and study, this is a breeze and great fun to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Daly Approach, December 12, 2007
By M. Reed (VA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Golf My Own Damn Way: A Real Guy's Guide to Chopping Ten Strokes Off Your Score (Hardcover)
John Daly has written this book without the usual paralysis of analysis that many golf book authors use. This makes the book interesting and enjoyable to read. So, I would put the book in the "fun to read" category. Whether the contents of the book will improve your golf game is for each reader to determine.
