The author, former wife of PGA tour superstar John Daly, offers a shocking memoir revealing the hidden truths of professional golf. While the sport once enjoyed a wholesome reputation, it has been tarnished, not just by Tiger Woods but by Daly himself, known for his erratic behavior and wild lifestyle. Having been married to him for nine years, she provides an insider's perspective on the chaos that often accompanies fame in golf. The allure of money, alcohol, and women has ensnared many players, and she takes readers into the clubhouse to unveil the darker side of the game. She recounts John's reckless antics during their marriage, detailing how she often covered up his self-destructive habits, including his addictions to whiskey, sex, and gambling, which led to him losing nearly a million dollars in just an hour. Candidly, she shares her experiences of physical and emotional abuse, the reasons she remained in the role of golf wife despite the turmoil, and the fallout from John's affairs. The narrative also includes her own struggles, including legal issues and confrontations with his girlfriends, particularly the night he claimed she attacked him with a steak knife. Beneath the polished exterior of golf lies a world rife with groupies, partying athletes, and infidelity, as the author dismantles the sport's carefully curated image.
