"Why are we building golf courses? Because we enjoy being outside, bringing man and nature together." ― Jack Nicklaus Topic(s): Nature More From Jack Nicklaus "I’m a firm believer that in the theory that people only do their best at things they truly enjoy. It is difficult to excel at something you don’t enjoy." "Pete Dye introduced me to golf course design back in the 1960’s. He came to my hometown Columbus, Ohio to work on The Golf Club." "A Nicklaus Design golf course is done by the guys in my company that I work with, that have been trained in my vision, and they do what they think I might do. They might come in the office and ask me questions and I’d certainly answer their questions, but I’m not involved in the site visits or anything else." More In Nature "The exposed nature of life in the public square affects leaders’ attitudes toward risk – and failure."― Dee Dee Myers "Good men, whether they be Christians or rationalists, do not desire to discriminate between races, but the distinctions implanted by Nature are too conspicuous to escape the observation of our senses."― Arthur Keith "An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language."― Henri Matisse
