Jack Nicklaus
I couldn't control Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tom Watson or Lee Trevino. The only person I could control was me. The only person I could prepare for events was me. And if I didn't play well, I didn't play well, and I wasn't going to compete.
Jack Nicklaus
I guess that's why they call it Hell.
Jack Nicklaus
Pressure is what you live for...if you are going to be successful in life, you're going to have pressure.
Jack Nicklaus
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.
Jack Nicklaus
My kids all do love to hunt and fish. When they get together, I think that's what they get together more for than anything else.
