Even Before You Step Up

First Time I Met Jack [nicholas ] I Had Heard About His Golf And Prowess - I Was Playing In The Ohio Amateur.

The Game Is So Fantastic, And People Who Get Into It Love It So Much...i'd Be Pleased With That. There's No Game Like It.

From The Beginning It Was Drilled Into Me That A Golf Course Was A Place Where Character Fully Reveals Itself -- Both Its Strengths And Its Flaws. As A Result, I Learned Early Not Only To Fix My Ball Marks But Also To Congratulate An Opponent On A Good Shot, Avoid Walking Ahead Of A Player Preparing To Shoot, Remain Perfectly Still When Someone Else Was Playing, And A Score Of Other Small Courtesies That Revealed, In My Father's Mind, One's Abiding Respect For The Game.

An Athlete Must Have A Certain Cockiness To Succeed And Win, But An Athlete Must Also Care About The Game He Or She Plays.

For Years I Did Take My Time, But That Was Because I Hated Waiting To Hit Shots - I Adopted A Pace Where I Didn't Have To Stand By My Ball And Wait.
