Jack Nicklaus Quotes


Jack Nicklaus

Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one`s levels of aspiration and expectation.

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 he can.

He has the finest, fundamentally sound golf swing I`ve ever seen.

Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation.

There isn`t a flaw in his golf or his makeup. He will win more majors than Arnold Palmer and me combined. Somebody is going to dust my records. It might as well be Tiger, because he`s such a great kid.
