Nick O'Leary is a tough kid. He doesn't use gloves. It's freezing outside and he's obviously wearing short sleeves like all the other guys that let their guns stick out.

Confidence is when you stand over a shot and know you're going to make it because you've done it time and time again.
Jack Nicklaus
I never missed a putt in my mind.
Jack Nicklaus
I can barely turn on my computer!

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.

Once you play a tournament, you're playing against the golf course, you're playing against yourself and trying to do the best you can.
Jack Nicklaus
I've been fortunate over my career to make a little history on the 16th hole at Augusta National.

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.

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
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
I never thought about being No. 1. I just kept trying to be No. 1.
Jack Nicklaus
I guess that's why they call it Hell.
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 think in my case winning fans came as a result of winning tournaments. Certainly, I didn't have too many supporters when I came on Tour. I didn't look like an athlete, I was overweight, had a crew cut, baggy clothes and on top of that I didn't smile much. I was very serious about my game, literally and figuratively the heavy.
Jack Nicklaus
Any golfer worth his salt has to cross the sea and try to win the British Open.
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.

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.
