Payne Stewart sure didn't leave ANYthing on the table -- and I like that approach. It looks like CBS is promoting their 60 Minutes profile of Daly that will be on Sunday evening...fyi... cbsnews.com John Daly's Recipe For Success May 3, 2006 (CBS) John Daly has figured out a few things at the age of 40 after a roller-coaster ride on the fairways of professional golf and in the fast lane of life. He can drink lots of beer — as long as he doesn't drink whiskey. He doesn't need the pills doctors tell him to take. And no matter how good water is for you, that's not what his body craves .. and, besides, it makes him shoot bogeys. Daly shares these pearls of wisdom with 60 Minutes correspondent Morley Safer this Sunday, May 7, at 7 p.m. ET/PT. "[Beer is] the only thing I like to drink … I don't drink whiskey anymore, so thank God for that … I've conquered the Jack Daniels, that was the biggest one," he tells Safer. The whiskey cost him three marriages, got him in trouble with the Professional Golfers Association Tour and drove him into rehabilitation on three occasions. But beer is just the thing for Daly, who keeps lots of it on ice wherever he goes. The brew fits in well with his two-packs-a-day cigarette habit and his taste for fast food, all of which makes his body a bad fit for the healthful effects of water. "My body just doesn't … it doesn't want that. It's fighting it. 'Hey what's going on, you're putting something healthy in here?' " he says. "I am to a point not very superstitious about things, but every time I drink a bottle of water I make a bogey." As gifted a golfer as he is, Daly's downfall is his blowing up on the course — losing his head — and for that and other problems, doctors put him on medication that included antidepressants. Daly decided that to find himself, he needed to lose his meds. "I took myself off all this medication … that doctors were putting me on," he tells Safer, "and I looked in the mirror one day, I said, 'One thing you got to do, John, let's take care of John for now.' I used to look in the mirror and flip myself off; now I can look in the mirror and say, 'Hey, you're all right, you're all right today, man.' " Daly is doing it his way, as he always has, for better or worse. "I'm all feel, just like my golf game, and that's the way I have been with life." In Sunday's profile, Daly also discusses his gambling problem, which has cost him millions, as well as his checkered love life, his triumphs and tragedies on the golf course and his appeal to his fans.
