My Story By Jack Nicklaus, with Ken Bowden
"Golf is a science, the study of a lifetime in which you may exhaust yourself but never your subject. It is a contest, a duel or melee, calling for skill, courage, strategy and self-control. It is a test of temper, a trial of honor, a revealer of character.
It affords a chance to play the man and act the gentleman. It means going into God's out-of-doors, getting close to nature, fresh air, exercise, a sweeping away of mental cobwebs, a genuine recreation of tired tissue.
It is a cure for care, an antidote to worry. It includes companionship with friends, opportunities for courtesy, kindliness and generosity to an opponent. It promotes not only physical health, but moral force."
- David R. Forgan
