Ever since his astonishing victory in the 1991 PGA Championship, John Daly has enthralled fans with his big drives, bigger personality, and "Grip It and Rip It" approach to golf - and to life. Usually seen with a Marlboro Light dangling from his lip, John is the unchained, unpredictable, unapologetic bad boy of professional golf. My Life in and out of the Rough is 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.

The War after the War is a lively military history and overview of Reconstruction that illuminates the new war fought immediately after the American Civil War. This Southern Civil War was distinct from the American Civil War and fought between southerners for control of state governments. In the South, African American and white unionists formed a successful biracial coalition that elected state and local officials. White supremacist insurrectionaries battled with these coalitions and won the Southern Civil War, successfully overthrowing democratically elected governments.

When a group of people gather together to generate ideas for solving a problem or achieving a goal, sometimes the best ideas are passed over. Worse, a problematic suggestion with far less likelihood of success may be selected instead. Why would a group dismiss an option that would be more effective? Leadership and communications expert John Daly has a straightforward answer: It wasn't sold to them as well. If the best idea is yours, how can you increase the chances that it gains the support of the group? In Advocacy: Championing Ideas and Influencing Others, Daly explains in full detail how to transform ideas into practice.

Golf My Own Damn Way is a different golf instructional book, as only John Daly can write. Funny, irreverent, and crude, this book is perfect for the golfer looking to improve his or her game, or for nongolfers looking for a laugh. With short, quirky chapters that cover everything from improving your swing to John's favorite courses, this book is more than just a golfing manual. You'll also get John's thoughts on the current state of the game and his opinions on other players on the PGA tour.

Found some powerful & difference making points of having emotional intelligence. There are 12 of them, so I’m breaking them down into 4 parts.

This will be a great 4 part series of some very helpful life ideas ...

Lessons from a basketball coach, who again, is really an educator - and educators are needed all throughout life. This message is not just for students, but really for all of us. Coach Tom Crean (@TomCrean) says “Students: 1. There is always someone who gets left out. You can be the one to bring them in. 2. Your kindness is strength. Not a weakness. 3. Your own confidence grows when you are helpful to someone else. You brighten someone’s day and it brightens yours too.” Again, I’m seeing these lessons are for all of us. Maybe the world needs to see these lessons as important enough...

Soon after he arrives, however, a twist of fate spawns a reunion with an old flame.

With the wedding bought and paid for (and completely non-refundable!), she decides to give it away to a deserving couple.

Six months after the murder of his uncle, Sean is trying to get his life together. He's stopped drinking, he's taking better care of himself, and he's working hard to keep a fledgling security business afloat. At a blood plasma bank Sean frequents to earn extra income, he meets the distraught relative of Andrew Carson, a man who went missing weeks earlier on the other side of the state, with a pool of blood in the snowy driveway of his home as the only clue to the man's fate.

Saw an amazing post that I also used to put together a little video presentation for some basketball coaches / teams, and the message was something that all of us can use - especially me. I found this from Coach AJ Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) who I find so many great ideas to post, podcast about, create things from, and generally find a great amount of inspiration. In this message that he posted, Coach Kara Lawson (@karalawson20) said, "Preparation doesn't guarantee a result. It just guarantees growth." She brings up four thoughts that help us even more. “Preparation matters because:...

Saw this one when I needed it - which usually happens that way as the things I stumble across always seem to make a connection to me. Hopefully they do with you too. This is from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Stop using your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe, create, love, grow, glow, manifest, and heal.” I’ve been worrying a bit too much over the last couple of days - and other times over the last few years and I loved this for giving me some reflections on what I should be doing with my energy. I hope it helps you find some things to think about how you use ...

Thirty years ago, Sean Coleman's father abandoned his family in the Colorado mountain town of Winston, and was never heard from again. The reason for his disappearance was always a mystery, but a lifetime of blaming himself put Sean on a rough, dark path that took him years to return from. Now content in his life, Sean receives unexpected word that his father has finally reemerged, on the other side of the country in Pawleys Island, South Carolina...as a murder victim. At the wishes of his sister, Sean flies out to retrieve the body, and hopefully find answers to why his father, left and the life he went on to lead. What Sean discovers is a second family, a web of deception, and a brutal killer who's still on the loose...and isn't finished killing.

Saw this great post and an even better reminder for all of us about bouncing back. Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) comes back with another great thought: “Flowers grow back even after they’ve been stepped on. So will you.” All of us have so many things going on in our lives where we feel that we’ve been stepped on, pushed around, knocked over, etc. The key is to always try and pick ourselves up and to keep going. Good thoughts here that I share with you - or I at least think they are good ones…. Remember, not the only ones out there, but these hopefully will be good for you to...

Few residents in the small, secluded mountain town of Winston, Colorado, have kind words to say about Sean Coleman. He's a bully, a drunk, and a crime show-addicted armchair detective with an overactive imagination. After a night of poor judgment, Sean finds himself the sole witness to the unusual suicide of a mysterious stranger. With the body whisked away in the chilling rapids of a raging river, no one believes Sean's account.

Danaher is able to take the complex and often contradictory rules of jiu-jitsu and break them down into universal concepts.

We live in an anxious age. Long-held certainties, cherished beliefs, and social trust are crumbling. Don’t expect things to get better. For too long we have taken our Christian heritage—the heritage upon which America was built—for granted. But we’re rapidly, and now inevitably, losing the Christian culture that shaped the American republic. What will take its place is a despotism—and a new paganism, worse than the old, because it will be based on a hatred of Christianity.

Got a great reminder for one of the important lessons in life - coming from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Life's so short. Spend it with friends who make you laugh and feel loved.” It’s a great time of year to reflect on things like this and then try to put them into action each and everyday, not just during the holidays. I am also reminded that I need to be this person for others as well. Once again, the world would be a lot better if more people took this to heart & the world needs anyone and everyone to take this to heart. Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments ...

It’s been a little while since I was reminded about some important life lessons from Damon West (@damonwest7) and he reminds us that: “Here are some ways to be a coffee bean and keep your momentum up especially around this time of year! Remember, you are capable of much more than you think.” There are 4 areas he shares about how we can become a Coffee Bean: 1) Fuel your life with purpose, 2) Be humble and hungry, 3) Make life a mission trip and 4) Remember when you succeeded (click HERE for the video on Damon West’s story). This is something each of us can connect with and take ...
