If a course needs to be in great condition to be played effectively then the design strategy is flawed.

Of course I did lots of what would be called graphic design now what used to be called commercial art.

Golf course design is exciting.

Even private persons in due season with discretion and temper may reprove others whom they observe to commit sin or follow bad courses out of charitable design and with hope to reclaim them.

And then build a bustling wonderful city of the 21st century with a restoration of a spectacular skyline which Manhattan of course needs. So that is really the design as a whole.

Clearly programming courses should teach methods of design and construction and the selected examples should be such that a gradual development can be nicely demonstrated.

I learn my lines while on the golf course. I try to do two or three things at once. I have ideas for books all the time I have ideas for paintings all the time and I write them all down. I take my sketchpad and my iPad which I design on and I do sit down and do specific tasks at specific times.

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.

I've wanted to design golf courses ever since I was a kid. I suppose it comes from the way I've played the game. To find the proper way to play any hole I've always begun by asking myself what the architect has tried to do with it.

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.

Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course if you dig deeper it's really how it works.

Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.

If you wish to make a man look noble your best course is to kill him. What superiority he may have inherited from his race what superiority nature may have personally gifted him with comes out in death.

Of course we avoid death. To know something is inevitable is one thing. To accept to truly feel it... that's different.

I believe in the institution of marriage. Of course being a Mormon we believe in eternity rather than just till death do us part. If you really try hard if you make it work it's blissful. But I also know a marriage that isn't working can be painful.

I was never afraid of failure after that because I think coming that close to death you get kissed. With the years the actual experience of course fades but the flavor of it doesn't. I just had a real sense of what choice do I have but to live fully?

Sleep is lovely death is better still not to have been born is of course the miracle.

It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.

The safest course is to do nothing against one's conscience. With this secret we can enjoy life and have no fear from death.

Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me give me liberty or give me death!

It's ironic really. Guys should be excited that I got Kristen Bell. If Brad Pitt gets Kristen Bell it's like 'Well of course he did.' With me it should be 'Oh good a normal-looking guy got her. Maybe I'll get me a Kristen Bell.' But guys hate my guts for always dating women I have no right to be with.

He described how as a boy of 14 his dad had been down the mining pit his uncle had been down the pit his brother had been down the pit and of course he would go down the pit.

When I found out I got this job I cried of course - I'm a girly-girl - and then I called my dad and he cried too. On so many levels this is a thrill for me.

As a dad I'm emotionally dedicated but I'm not 'figuring out their life plans'. But of course as I'm telling them about the rights of wrongs I'm thinking back to what I was like at their age.
