One of the most unique and fascinating pro golfers left with a rich text of ornery oddball quote material is John Daly. To help us, we combed through the and found some of the best and funny quotes from John Daly — giving insight into the life of golf's biggest personality.
1. "I hit the ball as hard as I can. If I can find it, I hit it again."
The quote is the perfect example of his bold and to the point style of golf. With his powerful swings and no-fuss attitude, Stricker had become one of golf's genuine good guys.
2. "I believe nicotine plus caffeine equals protein."
Daly's... quirky perspective on nutrition never fails to put a smile on my face. This quote rings as true today as it did in his day -- proof of his unapologetically nontraditional way of life.
3. "I don't think I've ever stepped into a gym - they won't let me smoke there. I just thank God Miller Lite isn't as fattening as most beers. If I cut back on beer, though, I'd look anorexic."
So typical of Daly — only he could tie together one's fitness and beer into humor. And his witty one liners become the gunpowder of laughter in the trials.
4. "I was never able to have three or four beers. One's too many, and ten just ain't enough. Basically it's the way I've been since high school."
It's a cheeky little quote outlining the drinking habits of Daly and revealing his preference for blowing his own trumpet as a hero on the course..
5. "This fitness thing is blown out of proportion. What am I going to do on a treadmill - smoke a cigarette and drink a diet co*ke?"
He downplays the traditional practice of health and fitness on the ballad Humdrum -- one of the album's humor tracks.
6. "I will just put four or five extra packs of cigarettes in my bag and I will be fine."
Which essentially summed up, quite humorously the laid back personality of Daly and his unapologetic love of Cigarettes.
7. "Do I have to know rules and all that crap? Then forget it."
This quote shows Daly's hatred for regulations and red tape and perfectly sums up his bad boy, rebel-with-a-cause attitude.
8. "I enjoy the oohs! and aahs! from the gallery when I hit my drives. But I'm getting pretty tired of the awws! and uhhs! when I miss the putt."
This quote humorously sums up Daly's relationship with the gallery responses during his golf games, with some of the transparency making his character more appealing.
9. "Life is nothing but a memory. People who dwell on the bad ones aren't going to have a whole lot of good ones coming up."
Once again, rhetoric gives way to cheap philosophy (still funny, though); in effect, Daly punches you in the gut, making you forget to laugh until after you stand up again.
10. "My slogan is who needs fitness when you've got great equipment."
While this show might be set around people who like to get fit, Daly recreates it for himself, and captures his passive, humorous approach toward mainstream health initiatives.
A Bigger than Life Character: John Daly
Brenda Daly, who, ex-husband John claims, was often his life or death player (or maybe she was not the player at all), is best known for her relationships. His no-nonsense attitude toward both golf and life have made him a cult figure in the sports world. Not your usual path to golf stardom but having already become the big talking point of the tournament, born on April 28, 1966 in Carmichael, California.
Daly has been a golfing maverick from his long drives -- still the most iconic of his one-armed golf swing -- to his disdain for the conventions of professional golf. Both of those qualities have also made him one of the most loved and hated men on the planet.
Daly's outgoing personality and larger than life-mode has made him worldwide a fan favorite. His battles with alcohol and personal demons have been well documented, but his ability to smile through the pain and be honest and vulnerable have made him a hero to many.
His journey from where it all started, as a kid from small-town, to becoming an iconic golfer is nothing short of a story of his down-to-earth approach to the sport. His self-deprecating wit and sense of humor about the rollercoaster of chutes and ladders that was his life has made him an endearing figure in the sometimes-starchy world of sports.
John Daly Quotes that Reveal His Genuine and Witty Personality — A Bunch of Thoughts — Life Success — Happiness—Summary But his larger-than-life personality and unapologetic approach to all things golf and life are still encouraging and entertaining fans around the world. So, as we toast to the humor and insight of this iconic golfer, here's to you, John Daly -- ask no quarter; give no quarter.
