More quotes by Jack Nicklaus
All I ever wanted to do was play competitive golf against the best players in the world.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf was my vehicle to competition and I can't play if I can't compete.
Jack Nicklaus
I never missed a putt in my mind.
Jack Nicklaus
A perfectly straight shot with a big club is a fluke.
Jack Nicklaus
Don't be too proud to take lessons. I'm not.
Jack Nicklaus
I've always tried to play golf with a golf club. I have a hard time driving with my rifle. I mean, 18 is really narrow ... I have no problem with the course, except for the tee shot on 18.
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
Confidence is believing in your own ability, knowing what you have to do to win. My confidence was developed through preparation.
Jack Nicklaus
The holes are numbered.
Jack Nicklaus
A big part of managing a golf course is managing your swing on the course.

Jack Nicklaus
Before every shot, I go to the movies
Jack Nicklaus
Learn the fundamentals of the game and stick to them. Band-Aid remedies never last.
Jack Nicklaus
I have a couple [of grandsons] that are in college playing lacrosse. It's great and it's fun. But they all also play golf a little bit.
Jack Nicklaus
Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation.
Jack Nicklaus
You have to trust your kids. They have to experience life, and you just hope you've provided them a foundation for what's right and what isn't.
Jack Nicklaus
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.
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
Any golfer worth his salt has to cross the sea and try to win the British Open.
Jack Nicklaus
I'd rather be two strokes ahead going into the last day than two strokes behind. Having said that, it's probably easier to win coming from behind. There is no fear in chasing. There is fear in being chased.
Jack Nicklaus
