More quotes by Jack Nicklaus

Jack Nicklaus
Golf is you against yourself.

Jack Nicklaus
A big part of managing a golf course is managing your swing on the course.
Jack Nicklaus
Essentially, he has been retired since he was 21.

Sometimes, I'm an ogre. I can be short. I'll walk into the office some days and I've gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, and everybody knows it. I'm a perfectionist. I like to be organized, and I like to get everything done today.
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
It's difficult to excel at something you don't truly enjoy.
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
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
What's interesting about golf is that most athletes end up gravitating toward golf because it is such a difficult sport.
Jack Nicklaus
I understand golf is a game, and I've never treated it as anything else. Family is something that's very special, and so they all contributed to the room. They all contributed to what my life was, my career was.
