John Daly Quotes

I'm not a table-flipper.

Anger is a momentary madness, so control your passion or it will control you.

I have thrown chairs, but only during football matches. Generally, I am well-behaved. I do not like to make people angry.

If I make a bogey or three putt I'm on fire inside. But it's not like you're going to play any better slamming your club or getting angry. So you might as well just keep it in. People say I'm pretty calm, but I do make mistakes and I do get angry, but I try and not show it.

You don't want to let the other team feed off your outward physical demeanor. But at the same time, you can't go out and play this game and not expect to just be angry and be competitive and be excited and have that fire in your belly.

I was an athlete when I was younger and played a lot of sports, including golf, but I always ended up throwing around my clubs in frustration.

The defenders make me very angry. They are kicking, or they are pinching or they say things to me that I don't like. They try to do everything to take me out of the game. I learned to keep my mouth shut, to keep my hands down, just try to put the ball in the net. This is the best answer.

In real life, I tend to yell at people a lot. Not because I'm bossy or mean, but because I'm frustrated.

Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.

In general I was a good kid. It usually took a lot to make me mad. But once I reached the boiling point, I lost all rational control.

I have never, honestly, thrown a chair in my life.

I'm not as impatient as I used to be. I used to hit people if I didn't like what they were saying. Just lash out. 'Bam - shut up! Hahahah!' I was terrible.

To lose your temper is only useful once a year.

I would cry after losses when I was a kid and pout. But I played like that.

It's difficult for me to really temper my personality, but I am trying to be a little more sensible about it.

I've only lost my temper three times in my whole life.

I lost my temper on stage.
