More quotes by 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
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
Johnny Miller is a very honest guy. That may have been to his detriment sometimes. On television, he's too honest. We talk about it a lot. Do you really need to be that honest? You know what I mean? But he's a good man. He's a good family man. He's got good values, and we're delighted to have him as our honoree.
Jack Nicklaus
There's more to be learned here [St. Andrews] about course design than anywhere. Collection bunkers, false fronts, bump shots. The fundamentals of design became fundamental because of what's here. And it happened accidentally. Or maybe accidentally on purpose.
Jack Nicklaus
If I had only one more round to play, I would choose to play it at Pebble Beach. I've loved this course from the first time I saw it. It's possibly the best in the world.
Jack Nicklaus
The longer you play, the better chance the better player has of winning.
Jack Nicklaus
Don't be too proud to take lessons. I'm not.
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 think you ever will yourself to win. I think you prepare yourself the best you can, get yourself in the best mindset you can get in, and go after it.
Jack Nicklaus
I guess that's why they call it Hell.
Jack Nicklaus
To sink a six-foot putt with thirty million people looking over your shoulder, convince yourself that, if you miss it, you will be embarrassed and poor.
Jack Nicklaus
If you're going to be a player people will remember, you have to win the Open at St. Andrews.
Jack Nicklaus
1960, I was 20 years old, and I was leading the U.S. Open. Now, I wasn't leading by several strokes, but I was leading the U.S. Open and playing with Ben Hogan, had a very good chance to win, nine holes to go, I was leading. I was still leading with six holes to play.
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
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
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 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
Confidence is believing in your own ability, knowing what you have to do to win. My confidence was developed through preparation.
Jack Nicklaus
The one strongest, most important part of my game is that I want to be the best. I won't accept anything less that that. My ability to concentrate and work toward hat goal has been my greatest asset.
Jack Nicklaus
I was never satisfied if I didn't win a major. I mean, not that year or any major I played, I wasn't satisfied unless I won it. But that's what our goals are. I'm sure that these guys' goals are the same as mine. They want to win every time they play. If you don't win, then you're not happy, obviously.
Jack Nicklaus
