More quotes by Jack Nicklaus
Talent isn't as important as the work and dedication necessary to become competent.
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
I love the golf courses because it brought the best out of me. It made me prepare, made me work at it, made me do the things I needed to do to be better, and that's what I loved about USGA events. If you couldn't handle it, then you got beat, and that's OK.
Jack Nicklaus
Oakmont, you've got to be playing slope.
Jack Nicklaus
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
As long as I'm prepared, I always expect to win.
Jack Nicklaus
I think you've all heard my story about my daughter and how we felt Children's Hospital saved her life when she was less than a year old. I won't go through all of the details of that.
Jack Nicklaus
You have to watch your handicap. My son Steve says, Never make a putt you don't have to.
Jack Nicklaus
The importance of my legacy is not the golf course, it's what my life is, and what my life is intended to be. The game of golf is a game. My family is my life.
Jack Nicklaus
The holes are numbered.
Jack Nicklaus
I don't care how old your children get, you're always a dad.
Jack Nicklaus
I never worried about money, except that I knew that all I had to worry about was golf. As long as I could play, I was going to make money.
Jack Nicklaus
Learn the fundamentals of the game and stick to them. Band-Aid remedies never last.
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
Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation.
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 never thought about being No. 1. I just kept trying to be No. 1.
Jack Nicklaus
I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf is not, and never has been, a fair game.
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
