It's hard not to play golf that's up to Jack Nicklaus standards when you are Jack Nicklaus.
I'm tired of giving my best and not having it be good enough.
1960, I was 20 years old, and I was leading the U.S. Open. Now, I wasn't leading by several strokes, but I was leading the U.S. Open and playing with Ben Hogan, had a very good chance to win, nine holes to go, I was leading. I was still leading with six holes to play.
I don't really have a problem saying good-bye to things. All things come to an end.
Golf is a game of precision, not strength.
Golf is a better game played downhill.
