Jack Nicklaus
Essentially, he has been retired since he was 21.
Jack Nicklaus
We called [my son] Gary Little Herschel when he was in middle school - but then he didn't grow any taller. He ended up playing golf and being a really nice golfer.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf was my vehicle to competition and I can't play if I can't compete.
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
This is a game. That's all it is. It's not a war.
Jack Nicklaus
Whether it's pool or Ping Pong, I can't stand to have my kids beat me. Especially Ping Pong! And when they beat me, they just needle the devil out of me. That's fine. I'd rather have that than let them win a shallow victory.
Jack Nicklaus
I knew that if I kept the pressure on and didn't do anything stupid I would probably win.
Jack Nicklaus
Why are we building golf courses? Because we enjoy being outside, bringing man and nature together.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf is not, and never has been, a fair game.
Jack Nicklaus
Public appearances are a headache. I hold mine down to a minimum.
Jack Nicklaus
I never thought about being No. 1. I just kept trying to be No. 1.
Jack Nicklaus
Learn the fundamentals of the game and stick to them. Band-Aid remedies never last.
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
Well, the biggest rival I had in my career was me.
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
He's going to be around a long, long time, if his body holds up. That's always a concern with a lot of players because of how much they play. A lot of guys can't handle it. But it looks like Tiger Woods can.
Jack Nicklaus
Augusta National is a young man's golf course, and you really need a young man's nerves to play on it.
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 there is one thing golf demands above all else, it is honesty.
Jack Nicklaus
