John Daly Quotes

You drive for show but putt for dough.

No one has as much luck around the greens as one who practices a lot.

It's just a matter of hitting the ball where I want to hit it and hopefully making some putts.

Where I fall down is my short game. I don't practice enough, and when I have to take a half swing from 50 yards out, that's trouble.

I'm much better off the tee. I'm not a great putter. I do not have a good short game.

I play fairly aggressively week to week and fire at a lot of pins. So I might miss more greens than other pros, but I'm still only a few yards from the hole when I do. That being said, when I really need to hit a green in regulation, I'm confident in my swing.

My short game's not that good. It just becomes a matter of getting that weight moving.

I didn't do anything spectacular when I won the Open in 2001. I hit the ball good, not great. I putted good, not great, but I think I missed maybe two putts inside eight feet all week.

I'm hitting it better than last year. The putting is getting close now, too.

I always could putt. Part of my makeup, I always could putt.

Unfortunately, I only have time to play 15 to 20 rounds a year. I'm a 6-handicap but can play to a 16, no problem.

I'm trying to be a complete player and have every shot in the game.

The more balls that I hit, it's going to get better and better. Once I get a bit more confidence in my ball striking, that's when we can get down to the nitty gritty parts of the game.

I feel usually the strength of my game is my driving, and over the past - even since I was in college and everything, my short game has been the thing that's let me down.

My first years on tour, I tried to be super professional by considering the yardages to every feature and hazard. Over time my caddie and I noticed I play better when we keep it simple. Think about the distance you want the ball to fly, and only that number.

It's kind of exciting again. I'm doing everything right, right now. I'm driving the ball well and I'm hitting some pretty good irons and giving myself opportunities.

You know, one day you make putts and the next day you don't.

The game itself, I think, plays into the strength of my game, which has always been tee to green, hitting the ball consistently in play and managing my game. Putting has always been the one thing that's been a bit more erratic.

My driving and irons are the best part of my game. Growing to be 5-foot-11 has certainly helped.

Putting is not an art, it's a dreaded evil. No wise man ever said that.

The story of the week is you have got to putt well to win the Masters and I haven't putted well.

I'd say 230 yards off the tee is my average. Short game is a strength. I don't three-putt often. Actually, I'd say my mental game is probably the best. I'm very good at staying positive and focused on my game.

I've got a lot more control with my wedges.

Putting is an art. When you're not feeling confident on the greens, it will affect the rest of your game.

I'm becoming a more complete player. I have more shots. I can rely more on my putting, rely on my short game.
