ARNIE & JACK (H)
Palmer, Nicklaus, and Golf's Greatest Rivalry
Ian O'Connor
The 50-year duel of Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus propelled

game into a major American sport with a dedicated following. Through
access to both players and hundreds of interviews, the author explores
their extreme differences and sprawling influences through mini-dramas
such as the 1962 U.S. Open. Remarkably, each wanted what the other had,
and despite being rivals they were also dear friends.

THE SCORECARD ALWAYS LIES (H)
A Year Behind the Scenes on the PGA Tour
Chris Lewis
As Tiger Woods broke down in tears on the 18th green at
Royal Liverpool Golf Club, legions of spectators strained their eyes to
read the emotion on his face. Like the millions watching on television,
they knew that Tiger had just won the British Open, and that his father
had recently died. Beyond that, however, they knew precious little -- only
that he played with a Nike golf ball, carried an American Express card in
his wallet, and, presumably, drove a Buick. They were hungry for more, but
everything else about his off-course life, and those of his fellow pros,
was forbiddingly well guarded.

John Daly - My Life In & Out of the Rough
The Truth Behind All That Bull **** You Think You Know About Me
John Daly
Ever since his astonishing victory in the 1991 PGA
Championship, John Daly, known affectionately on the PGA Tour as "Big
'Un," has enthralled fans with his big drives, bigger personality,
and "Grip It and Rip It" approach to golf and to life.
Long John, usually seen with a Marlboro Light dangling from his lip, is
the unchained, unpredictable, unapologetic bad boy of professional golf.
"The only rules I follow," JD likes to say, "are the Rules
of Golf."
Daly's play-it-as-it-lays approach drives My Life in and out of the Rough,
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.
(He's been married four times.)
A two-time major winner before he turned thirty, John Daly is one of the
most popular athletes in the world. Taking readers with him off the
fairway and into his $1.5-million motor home for a rollicking ride through
his life -- an ever-churning world of booze, burgers, casinos, country
music, and breathtaking moonshots -- Daly reveals how a down-home Everyman
from Arkansas managed to rise to the peak of the golf world, escape from
the depths of abject depression, and, finally, take control of his life.
Well, sort of.
