More quotes by Jack Nicklaus
I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head.
Jack Nicklaus
I never missed a putt in my mind.
Jack Nicklaus
I couldn't control Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tom Watson or Lee Trevino. The only person I could control was me. The only person I could prepare for events was me. And if I didn't play well, I didn't play well, and I wasn't going to compete.
Jack Nicklaus
Public appearances are a headache. I hold mine down to a minimum.
Jack Nicklaus
That's sort of overkill. We've had 70 years of the Ryder Cup, and it's gotten along just fine. The pendulum will swing back without making a monumental thing about it.
Jack Nicklaus
I'm deadly serious even when I play tennis against my kids. I want to beat their brains out.
Jack Nicklaus
A perfectly straight shot with a big club is a fluke.
Jack Nicklaus
Pressure is what you live for...if you are going to be successful in life, you're going to have pressure.
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
Barbara [my wife] and I said a long time ago that if we were in a position to help somebody, it would be kids. So when we started the Memorial Tournament (in Columbus, OH), Nationwide Children's Hospital, which saved my daughter's life when she was less than a year old, was the beneficiary from day one.
Jack Nicklaus
I don't really have a problem saying good-bye to things. All things come to an end.
Jack Nicklaus
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.
Jack Nicklaus
As long as I'm prepared, I always expect to win.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf is a game of precision, not strength.
Jack Nicklaus
I've said many times before that Pebble Beach is a wonderful thinking-man's golf course. That is why it is such a great U.S. Open venue.
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
You're not going to tell me that you're going to find a person who's not a very good athlete and he or she is going to be a great player. But anyone can play the game. That's the nice thing about the game. You don't really have to be a world-class athlete to play the sport [golf] and have fun because of handicap systems.
Jack Nicklaus
If a guy is a good athlete, he'll end up being a pretty decent golfer if he just takes it up. But you never master it even the best players in the world never master the game.
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
Before every shot, I go to the movies
