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
Through years of experience I have found that air offers less resistance than dirt.
Jack Nicklaus
The US Open flag eliminates a lot of players. Some players just weren't meant to win the US Open. Quite often, they know it.
Jack Nicklaus
Public appearances are a headache. I hold mine down to a minimum.
Jack Nicklaus
Confidence is when you stand over a shot and know you're going to make it because you've done it time and time again.
Jack Nicklaus
Grand Haven will challenge the skilled player yet, because of some width to the holes, it also will be a fun course that the average player can enjoy.
Jack Nicklaus
I like trying to win. That's what golf is all about.
Jack Nicklaus
If you want to hit it farther, hit it better.
Jack Nicklaus
I don't care how old your children get, you're always a dad.
