First Time I Met Jack [nicholas ]

We Have A Great Field And I'm Very Happy About That. It's A Tough Time Of Year As It Gets Closer To The Masters, But I'm Appreciative Of The Players Who Are Here, And I'm Expecting A Great Week.

Golf Challenges You Mentally At Any Age, And When You Become My Age, It's A Challenge Physically To Try To Make Your Game Work As Well As It Ever Did. That's Close To Impossible, But That Doesn't Keep You From Trying To Hit The Ball Where You Used To Hit It And Make The Putts You Used To Make All The Time.

What Other People May Find In Poetry Or Art Museums, I Find In The Flight Of A Good Drive: The White Ball Sailing Up Into The Sky, Reaching Its Apex, Falling And Finally Dropping To The Turf, Just The Way I Planned It.

I Was Born In 1929, That Was The Depression, So The Golf Course Was Manned By My Father And Two Guys, They Worked For My Dad And They Took Me With Them Everywhere They Went. And It Was Fun.

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.
