I never thought about being No. 1. I just kept trying to be No. 1.

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.

It's a great sense of accomplishment when you can take something and really think it's really tough, and then all of a sudden you conquer it. That makes you feel pretty good.

Image
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.

You don't think anything about age when you're playing [golf]. I mean, why would you ever think about that.
Jack Nicklaus
Image
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.

If a guy is a good athlete, he'll end up being a pretty decent golfer if he just takes it up. But you never master it even the best players in the world never master the game.
Jack Nicklaus

My ability to concentrate and work toward that goal has been my greatest asset.

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.

You have to watch your handicap. My son Steve says, Never make a putt you don't have to.

Focus on remedies, not faults.

Public appearances are a headache. I hold mine down to a minimum.

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.

That's sort of overkill. We've had 70 years of the Ryder Cup, and it's gotten along just fine. The pendulum will swing back without making a monumental thing about it.
Jack Nicklaus
Image
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.

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