More quotes by Jack Nicklaus
I understand golf is a game, and I've never treated it as anything else. Family is something that's very special, and so they all contributed to the room. They all contributed to what my life was, my career was.
Jack Nicklaus
Temper is the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it.
Jack Nicklaus
If there is one thing golf demands above all else, it is honesty.
Jack Nicklaus
I guess that's why they call it Hell.
Jack Nicklaus
If I have a weakness, it's probably ice cream. That's where I get lax, sloppy. I'll sneak into the refrigerator at night and take two or three bites and put it back. Butter pecan. Only two or three bites, but it shows.
Jack Nicklaus
None of the guys did anything. We never did anything. I never really got into the workout room until I was about 40 years old. I was pretty strong and I didn't think I needed that much.
Jack Nicklaus
I've never set up any golf course that would favor anybody. I try to make it exactly the opposite, which is what we did at Valhalla when we modernized it to accommodate the lengths players are hitting it today.
Jack Nicklaus
Whether it's pool or Ping Pong, I can't stand to have my kids beat me. Especially Ping Pong! And when they beat me, they just needle the devil out of me. That's fine. I'd rather have that than let them win a shallow victory.
Jack Nicklaus
If you want to hit it farther, hit it better.
Jack Nicklaus
I never thought about being No. 1. I just kept trying to be No. 1.
Jack Nicklaus
We don’t have to do a bunch of things to figure out how to win the Ryder Cup. Just go play golf. ... I’m a little bit too casual probably about a lot of things, but you can’t force good play. Good play comes from good hard work and actually being prepared to play, not being forced to play.
Jack Nicklaus
The holes are numbered.
Jack Nicklaus
Augusta National is a young man's golf course, and you really need a young man's nerves to play on it.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf is you against yourself.
Jack Nicklaus
This is a game. That's all it is. It's not a war.
Jack Nicklaus
I'm more proud of the good rounds I've played while hitting the ball badly than of the great rounds while hitting the ball well. I understand my swing well enough to get myself through a tournament and win it. I've made it work.
Jack Nicklaus
Talent isn't as important as the work and dedication necessary to become competent.
Jack Nicklaus
What's interesting about golf is that most athletes end up gravitating toward golf because it is such a difficult sport.
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 don't think anything about age when you're playing [golf]. I mean, why would you ever think about that.
Jack Nicklaus
