More quotes by Jack Nicklaus
Barbara [my wife] and I said a long time ago that if we were in a position to help somebody, it would be kids. So when we started the Memorial Tournament (in Columbus, OH), Nationwide Children's Hospital, which saved my daughter's life when she was less than a year old, was the beneficiary from day one.

I think I fail a bit less than everyone else.
Jack Nicklaus
I've always tried to play golf with a golf club. I have a hard time driving with my rifle. I mean, 18 is really narrow ... I have no problem with the course, except for the tee shot on 18.
Jack Nicklaus
How people keep correcting us when we are young! There is always some bad habit or other they tell us we ought to get over. Yet most bad habits are tools to help us through life.
Jack Nicklaus
The fact is, I diet every day of my life. I have to work at it. But I diet so I can pig out.

Learn the fundamentals of the game and stick to them. Band-Aid remedies never last.
Jack Nicklaus
If there is one thing golf demands above all else, it is honesty.
Jack Nicklaus
I don't think about winning the Masters as part of the slam. You want to win the Masters because of what it means to the game.
Jack Nicklaus
Why are we building golf courses? Because we enjoy being outside, bringing man and nature together.
Jack Nicklaus
Well, I think that Augusta is not the same golf course that I grew up on. Bobby Jones' philosophy was giving you space off the tee if you put it in the right side of the fairway, you ended up getting the right angle to the green.
Jack Nicklaus
I knew that if I kept the pressure on and didn't do anything stupid I would probably win.
Jack Nicklaus
Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game's two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.
Jack Nicklaus
If I had only one more round to play, I would choose to play it at Pebble Beach. I've loved this course from the first time I saw it. It's possibly the best in the world.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf is you against yourself.
Jack Nicklaus
I've had a lot of majors where I didn't play well until the last round. Keep yourself in contention that's the name of the game. I usually ended up shooting a good round and all of a sudden, somehow, I won.
Jack Nicklaus
I never worried about money, except that I knew that all I had to worry about was golf. As long as I could play, I was going to make money.
Jack Nicklaus
I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf is not, and never has been, a fair game.

Learn the fundamentals of the game and stick to them. Band-Aid remedies never last.

I think my boys handled it pretty much the same way with their children, but my grandsons all ended up playing football or lacrosse.
