The 1995 Open Champion and legendary wild man of golf recalls the
best and worst of his life: his inspirational play on both US and
European tours; the demons that afflicted him on the course and his
addiction to gambling and drink; and the trashed hotel rooms and
spectacular marital problems. John Daly took professional golf by
storm when he came out of nowhere to win the 1991 PGA Championship
at Crooked Stick in Indiana. A big hitter, Daly quickly became a
favourite with PGA crowds for his long drives and no-frills
philosophy of 'grip it and rip it.' Almost as quickly he became a
controversial figure thanks to his on-course fits of temper and
off-course bouts of drinking and gambling. He won the Open
Championship in 1995 at St Andrews, then suffered through six years
of poor play and personal turmoil before winning the BMW
International Open in Munich in September 2001. In February 2004 he
returned to the winner's circle on the PGA Tour, winning the Buick
Invitational at Torrey Pines. Daly has been married four times, and
his spectacular marriage bust-ups have attracted endless media
headlines. His fourth wife, Sherrie, and her parents were indicted
on federal drug and gambling charges in 2003; they were accused of
selling cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamines from 1996 to 2002
and of laundering the proceeds through local banks. She has only
recently been released from a federal penitentiary to return to the
family home. Daly talks openly in his book about his controversial
private life, the tantrums, the additictions to drink, gambling and
women, and reflects on a new course in life in this richly
entertaining read.

Ever since his astonishing victory in the 1991 PGA Championship,
John Daly has enthralled fans with his big drives, bigger
personality, and his "grip it and rip it" approach to golf . . .
and to life. Usually seen with a cigarette dangling from his lip,
Long John is the unchained, unpredictable, unapologetic bad boy of
professional golf.
My Life In and Out of the Rough is the thrillingly--and
sometimes shockingly--candid memoir of a larger-than-life athlete
battling assorted addictions (alcohol, gambling, chocolate, sex),
his weight, and divorce lawyers (having been married four times).
Carrying readers off the fairway and into his $1.5-million motor
home, Daly takes us on a rollicking ride through his ever-churning
world of burgers, booze, casinos, country music, and breathtaking
moon shots--and reveals how a down-home Arkansas Everyman rose to
the pinnacle of the golf world, escaped from the depths of abject
depression, and, ultimately, took control of his life.
Well, sort of . . .
The elucidation of the cellular and molecular bases underlying the
inte grated function of the central nervous system, both in disease
and in health, must ultimately come from the combined efforts of
scientists from many disciplines, including biology, chemistry,
histology, pathology, physiology, pharmacology, and psychology.
Communication between scientists from these various
disciplines-vital to the advancement of our understanding of the
function of the nervous system-has become more and more difficult
in recent years. Both increasing specialization and the incredible
increases in publications pertinent to brain research in a wide
spectrum of journals, in symposium volumes, in monographs, in
abstracts, and in reviews contrib ute to the problems of
cross-communication and even of communication within a scientific
discipline. Research on the significance of cyclic nucleo tides to
the function of nervous systems is particularly illustrative of the
communication problem. Since the initial publications by
Sutherland, Rall, and Butcher in the late fifties and early sixties
on high levels of adenylate cyclase, phosphodiesterases, and cyclic
AMP in brain, the ensuing litera ture of this field has expanded
exponentially. At the present time, from five to ten publications
relevant to cyclic nucleotides and the nervous system appear each
week. Indeed, these are minimal numbers based mainly on examination
of literature titles and key index words. Many articles concerned
with some aspect of central function contain, buried within their
text, experiments with or related to cyclic nucleotides."
Bring Out The Beast In Your Golf Game!
When John Daly, winner of the 1991 PGA Championship and an
eleven-time PGA Tour leader in driving distance, started playing
golf with his old friend Sean Fister, he was always able to drive
the ball farther than Fister could. Not anymore. After years of
practice, Fister has gone on to win numerous World Long Drive
Championships and hold the record for the longest carry in the
world finals at a whopping 393 yards.
Now Fister has taken all the winning tips and techniques he has
learned over the years and organized them in this book so that you
too can drive better and more consistently. With Fister's Ten
Commandments of Distance, you'll learn proven secrets to increase
the power and accuracy of your drive, including: ANTI-SLICE TIPS

"When I'm picking a partner for a tournament, I always pick
Sean. I'm not going to lie: having a guy fly it 360 isn't going to
hurt you in a scramble, but it's way more than that with him. I
think the ultimate compliment you can give an athlete is that he'd
be a perfect team sport guy, and there's no doubt Sean Fister would
fit in to any locker room. Golf is such an individual sport that
you wonder how a lot of these guys would react when other guys are
relying on them, or in that give and take. You don't wonder that
about Sean. He's just a great, great guy and a great teammate.
There's no helping my game-I've got golf demons in my head that
I've got to get rid of-but I've seen him do some amazing
things."
--NBA HALL-OF-FAMERCHARLES BARKLEY
"Sean 'The Beast' Fister is the ultimate competitor, and
watching him perform at the highest level in his sport has been
inspiring. I'm proud to be associated with him in business, and I'm
proud to call him a friend."
--CRAIG PAYLOR, PRESIDENT, JLG INDUSTRIES
