New book of John Daly leaves nothing to the imagination

Through the years, we've learnt nothing should surprise a about John Daly and his excesses in life, be it drinking, gambling, trashing hotel rooms - not to mention his four failed marriages.

He wrote about much of it in his book, My Life in and out of the Rough, but a new book has been penned by his fourth wife, Sherrie, who has not been without controversy herself as she spent five months in jail for her part in a drug ring.

According to early reviews in the US, sections of the book are in the "far too much information" category, such as the time he returned from Germany to his Arkansas home to check the progress of interior decorators. They'd painted the kitchen walls the wrong colour so, Sherrie writes: "In front of everyone, in front of his own mother, John whipped it out and started peeing all over the wall."

No doubt the book will sell, as there is a morbid fascination with the flawed genius who has never fulfilled his potential.
