Golf is not a wrestle with Bogey; it is not a struggle with your mortal foe; it is a physiological, psychological and moral fight with your self; it is a test of mastery over self; and the ultimate and irreducible element of the game is to determine which of the players is the more worthy combatant.

Nicklaus Quotes : pic 000037259

Nicklaus Quotes : pic 000228504

Nicklaus Quotes : pic 000671587
