I don't think about winning the Masters as part of the slam. You want to win the Masters because of what it means to the game.

More quotes by Jack Nicklaus
If there is one thing golf demands above all else, it is honesty.
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
You don't think anything about age when you're playing [golf]. I mean, why would you ever think about that.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf really excites me only when the course is difficult and challenging. I love competing. The pressure of competition against fine holes and fine players makes me feel very much alive.
Jack Nicklaus
There are interesting times. The game is more fun when you are experimenting. One day yuor great, the next day scatterlog. But your learning. No that's not right. I probably have forgotten more about golf than I will ever learn. What you do is remember some of the things you thought you would never forget.

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
Why are we building golf courses? Because we enjoy being outside, bringing man and nature together.
Jack Nicklaus
I play the Father/Son every year on the PGA TOUR Champions. I split it between Jackie and Gary as my playing partners.
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
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
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
Golfers have a tendency to be very masochistic. They like to punish themselves for some reason. A lot of them like tough courses.
Jack Nicklaus
I think my boys handled it pretty much the same way with their children, but my grandsons all ended up playing football or lacrosse.
Jack Nicklaus
I don't care how old your children get, you're always a dad.
Jack Nicklaus
Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation.
Jack Nicklaus
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.
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
