More quotes by John Daly
Stories match the way our species thinks. Equally important, stories are something we share - everyone everywhere tells stories and oddly enough, in the same way. It all probably started around some campfire a million years ago.
John Daly
There are probably some things I could do to keep my flexibility up, but I'd rather smoke, drink diet Cokes and eat.
John Daly
Whether I'm shooting 10-under or 10-over I have to realize people have come a long way to see me play. I can't be back-handing putts.
John Daly
I hit the ball as hard as I can. If I can find it, I hit it again.
John Daly
Granted, I could go out and lose everything (by) gambling and drinking, but there's no sense in denying it. It's in my blood.
John Daly

John Daly
I don't care what anybody says. The first tournament is not the hardest one to win. It's always the second one.
John Daly
I wasn't this nervous playing golf when I was drinking. It's the first tournament I've won on the PGA Tour in a sober manner, so it's a great feeling knowing I can do it sober. I don't think two years ago I could have pulled this off.

My slogan is who needs fitness when you've got great equipment.
John Daly
Do I have to know rules and all that crap? Then forget it.
John Daly
Everyone has addictions and my problem is that I have 5,000 of them. If it's not drinking, it's gambling if it's not gambling, it's eating anything from burgers, doughnuts to M&Ms. The only addiction I don't suffer from is chasing women.
John Daly
The only way I'll ever make the Ryder Cup team is when I become captain then I can name myself to the team.
John Daly
I learned you can't drink whiskey and play golf.
John Daly
I will just put four or five extra packs of cigarettes in my bag and I will be fine.
John Daly
How you frame an issue shapes how it is viewed by others. Great advocates frame their ideas as problems that need solutions.
John Daly
This fitness thing is blown out of proportion. What am I going to do on a treadmill - smoke a cigarette and drink a diet Coke?
John Daly
Idea-Advocacy Matrix highlights a couple of things: that good ideas need to be sold if they are ever going to see the light of day and bad ideas sometimes do quite well because of the skills of the proponent to sell them.
John Daly
All four days I didn't think. I just hit. Squeaky (Medlen, his caddy) said 'kill' and I killed it.
John Daly
I was never able to have three of four beers. One's too many, and ten just ain't enough. Basically it's the way I've been since high school.
John Daly
It's nice to worry about playing golf and not all the other stuff.
