Summary

It has been Said That There are Only Four Things Worth Seeing in Modern Day Golf. The First, Understandably, is the Augusta National Course, the Home of the us Masters. Second is the Greatest Player in the modern Game, Tiger Woods, while the Third is the Living Legend that is Arnold Palmer. and the Fourth? Well, the Fourth is the Swing -- the Awesome, 'Killer Swing' -- of John Patrick Daly. Rewind to August 1991 and the Uspga Championship at Crooked Stick, Indianapolis. Having Driven Through the Night to Get to the Course, 25-Year-Old Rookie Pro John Daly Tees off as an Eleventh Hour Replacement for Nick Price and Without so much as a Practice Round, Blasts his way to a Spectacular and Entirely Unexpected Cictory. That Triumsh, Achieved with a Combination of Brutal Ball Striking and a Bare Subtlety Around the Greens. Should have Signalled the Start of the Big Time for Daly. Instead, it Prompted a Shocking Descent into Alcoholism. Gambling Addiction and more Incidents and Accidents than most People Would Encounter in One -- Maybe Two -- Lifetimes.
