Stunner: Daly's Fourth Wife Gets A Book Published By Supposedly High-Minded Outfit
/It's good to see the literary lions at Simon and Schuster--who once brought us books like Harvey Penick's Little Red Book--are going for quality these days, inking John Daly's fourth wife Sherrie (the prison one) to a book deal. Can't you just see the editor who inked this deal slamming down his phone and declaring to no one in particular, "I got Sherrie Daly!"
The vital tome, with a title blatantly ripped off from Dave Hill's classic, is apparently about to hit stores and hopefully this series of highlights captured by Garry Smits is all you will choose to read:
1. She said there were two versions of her ex-husband: John Daly, who she admitted could be "sweet" to her, and "JD," the hard-drinking, emotionally and physically abusive side who would call her the most vulgar of names.
I know, it's hard to keep reading when you learn something like that about one of your heroes, but we must soldier on...
2. Daly's reaction to things that displeased him often resulted in public urination. She described one incident where Daly came home and was displeased with the color of paint she had ordered for their kitchen. In front of his wife and his mother, Daly urinated on the walls.
That's going to be a tough image to get out of my head.
4. She was with Daly during his famous casino session in which he spent almost all of a million-dollar prize for finishing second to Tiger Woods in a World Golf Championship event within one hour, that same night. When she told Daly that every $500 pull on a slot machine could have paid her bills for an entire month before she married him, he replied, "don't interrupt me while I'm gambling."
You have to side with him on that one. After all, when you're trying to get back on the winning side of a cerebral competition like slots, you need 100% focus.
