A Nicklaus Design golf course is done by the guys in my company that I work with, that have been trained in my vision, and they do what they think I might do.

We also play a Father/Son at home and I play with Steve, too. I try to mix it up. We play two or three times a year, but that's about it.

Talent isn't as important as the work and dedication necessary to become competent.

If you want to hit it farther, hit it better.

You can win tournaments when you're mechanical, but golf is a game of emotion and adjustment. If you're not aware of what's happening to your mind and your body when you're playing, you'll never be able to be the very best you can be.

I'm deadly serious even when I play tennis against my kids. I want to beat their brains out.

What's interesting about golf is that most athletes end up gravitating toward golf because it is such a difficult sport.
