More quotes by Jack Nicklaus
They [my sons] all went to different schools and all did different things. They're about as different for five kids as you'll ever see. They don't do anything the same.
Jack Nicklaus
Every putt is different. Your feet dictate the stroke by how they feel on the green. I just never used the same stroke on every putt.
Jack Nicklaus
When I look back on when I grew up, not even football players lifted weights. That was back 50 years ago.
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
Golf is you against yourself.
Jack Nicklaus
I learned early in my career, where you get so wrapped up and so excited, that all of a sudden you don't think. So I worked very hard to keep myself suppressed. And that's one of the reasons I wasn't gregarious with the gallery.
Jack Nicklaus
But if I played well and prepared myself properly, then all I had to do was control myself and put myself in a position to win.
Jack Nicklaus
I knew that if I kept the pressure on and didn't do anything stupid I would probably win.
Jack Nicklaus
This is a game. That's all it is. It's not a war.
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.
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
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
I never thought about being No. 1. I just kept trying to be No. 1.
Jack Nicklaus
Any golfer worth his salt has to cross the sea and try to win the British Open.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf was my vehicle to competition and I can't play if I can't compete.
Jack Nicklaus
Sometimes the biggest problem is in your head. You've got to believe you can play a shot instead of wondering where your next bad shot is coming from.
Jack Nicklaus
Temper is the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it.
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
All I ever wanted to do was play competitive golf against the best players in the world.
Jack Nicklaus
The worse you're performing, the more you must work mentally and emotionally. The greatest and toughest art in golf is playing badly well. All the true greats have been masters at it.
Jack Nicklaus
