“The two things that motivate me most are closely allied. They are failure and a desire for self-improvement.
By failure, I don’t necessarily mean getting beat, although that’s often the end result and in itself is a strong motivation to go to work. The kind of failing I’m talking about is failing to measure up to the standards I’ve set for myself personally. When that happens, I get an irresistible urge – almost a compulsion – to improve. Whatever effort is necessary to prevent another failure, I just have to make it. Like now. Today.
Frankly, I believe this, more than anything else, is the reason I am where I am today. I’m not an easily satisfied person. Sure I take a lot of satisfaction in what I’ve achieved. But life doesn’t stand still. Every satisfaction wanes after a while, so if you’re like me you don’t sit around looking backwards. You try to move on, to look for something that gives you another satisfaction and, at the same time, hopefully adds a little more to your life.”Jack Nicklaus, Jack Nicklaus’ Playing Lessons, Chapter 1
And
“I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head. First I see the ball where I want it to finish, nice and white and sitting up high on the bright green grass. Then the scene quickly changes, and I see the ball going there: its path, trajectory, and shape, even its behavior on landing. Then there is a sort of fade-out, and the next scene shows me making the kind of swing that will turn the previous images into reality.”
And
“I like trying to win. That’s what golf is all about.”
And
Arnold Palmer, in 1962, after losing the U.S. Open to 22-year-old Nicklaus in a playoff: “Now that the big guy’s out of the cage, everybody better run for cover.”

And
Chi Chi Rodriguez: “Jack Nicklaus is a legend in his spare time.”
And
Gene Sarazen: “I never thought anyone would ever put Hogan in the shadows, but he did.”

Coaches Hot Seat NFL Quotes of the Day – Thursday, April 6, 2017 – Bobby Jones
Robert Tyre Jones, Jr retired from golf in 1930, at the age of 28, still an amateur, having just won the Grand Slam. Grantland Rice wrote of him:
“One might as well attempt to describe the smoothness of the wind as to paint a clear picture of his complete swing. A consummate gentleman, he also possessed wit, a temper and a keen intellect, and all of these are evident in his many insights into golf and life.”
And
“Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots – but you have to play the ball where it lies.”
And
“Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course…the space between your ears.”
And
“It is nothing new or original to say that golf is played one stroke at a time. But it took me many years to realize it.”
And
“Some people think they are concentrating when they’re merely worrying.”
And
“The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.”
And
“Golf is assuredly a mystifying game. It would seem that if a person has hit a golf ball correctly a thousand times, he should be able to duplicate the performance at will. But this is certainly not the case.”
And
“Sometimes the game of golf is just too difficult to endure with a golf club in your hands.”
And
Bobby Jones was not only a consummately skilled golfer but exemplified the principles of sportsmanship and fair play. Early in his amateur career, he was in the final round of the 1925 U.S. Open at the Worcester Country Club. During the match, his ball ended up in the rough just off the fairway, and as he was setting up to play his shot, his iron caused a slight movement of the ball. He immediately got angry with himself, turned to the marshals, and called a penalty on himself. The marshals discussed among themselves and questioned some of the gallery whether they had seen Jones’s ball move. Their decision was that neither they nor anyone else had witnessed any incident, so the decision was left to Jones. Bobby Jones called the two-stroke penalty on himself, not knowing that he would lose the tournament by one stroke. When he was praised for his gesture, Jones replied,
“You may as well praise a man for not robbing a bank.”
Coaches Hot Seat NFL Quotes of the Day – Wednesday, April 5, 2017 – Gary Player
“The harder you work, the luckier you get.”
And
“Each shot is important.”
And
“Golf is a puzzle without an answer. I’ve played the game for 40 years and I still haven’t the slightest idea how to play.”
And
“If there’s a golf course in heaven, I hope it’s like Augusta National. I just don’t want an early tee time.”
And
“A good golfer has the determination to win and the patience to wait for the breaks.”
And
“We create success or failure on the course primarily by our thoughts.”
And
“You must work very hard to become a natural golfer.”
And
Gary Player’s Ten Commandments

Accept the advice of the man who loves you, though you like it not at present. 8. Trust instinct to the end, though you cannot render any reason. 9. The heights of great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but that while their companions slept were toiling upward in the night. 10. There is no substitute for personal contact.

“Basketball is a team game demanding a high degree of accuracy, judgment, individual skill, initiative, self-control and the spirit of cooperation. It demands that each player be skilled in all phases of the game, thus developing allround rather than highly specialized ability.
