ARNIE & JACK (H)
Palmer, Nicklaus, and Golf's Greatest Rivalry
Ian O'Connor
The 50-year duel of Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus propelled
each to the status of American icon and helped transform a gentleman's
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.
Until now. In The Scorecard Always Lies veteran Sports Illustrated golf
correspondent Chris Lewis reaches past the results, stats, and sound bites
to focus on the personalities and personal lives of the sport's top
players. While embracing all the drama and excitement of the 2006 PGA Tour
season, he takes us inside the locker rooms, hotel rooms, and private
planes to deliver an unrivaled, behind-the-scenes look at the Tour and the
men who play it.
Lewis spent thirty weeks of the 2006 season on the road with the best
golfers in the world, exploring their backstories, motivations, and
preoccupations, and collecting telling, character-revealing tales. He bore
witness to both the hard work and the privilege that frame their
lifestyles. But he also discovered a Tour that to this point remained
largely unknown -- one where a player while pursuing dreams of glory might
also be suing his agent, going through a messy divorce, or looking to
throw down in the locker room with one of his peers.
There's John Daly trying to explain how his wife has just been taken off
to jail. There's Chris Couch making a midnight, barefoot run through a
derelict district of New Orleans, fearing he was about to be kidnapped,
and taking refuge in a tattoo parlor.
We watch as Tiger Woods tries to deal with losing his father to cancer,
while refusing to abandon his fondness for blue humor. We see Phil
Mickelson hanging with rock stars, sharing a Masters victory gift with a
national championship-winning college football coach, and hooking up a
sportswriter with a would-be groupie's phone number. All in all, we get a
rare glimpse of the off-course lives of the Tour's stars and their
supporting cast.
At turns humorous, touching, and insightful, the book sheds new light on
every aspect of Tour life, from easygoing Tuesday practice rounds to
feverpitch Sunday showdowns, always taking care to show how their
off-course concerns inform their every swing.
Fans will savor the fullest portrait yet of a group of players who,
throughout their successes and struggles, remain unfailingly smart, funny,
and engaging, and make up the most intriguing subculture in all of sports.

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.
