Despite Winning 18 Majors, Jack Nicklaus Makes An Honest ‘Bathroom’ Confession About His Biggest Fears Before Big Events

Some golfers may experience worry and panic as a result of the pressure and stress of the game, which may show up in their dreams. Others could experience dreams about making errors or missing vital shots throughout a competition.

Golf dreams and nightmares are going to be equally bizarre and unsettling, regardless of whether one is an amateur or the most accomplished golfer. These unsettling factors may have a significant impact on a player’s mental state prior to any game. That is how things have gone with one of the greatest players, Jack Nicklaus.

Golf Digest reports that the winner of 117 professional events recently disclosed his recurrent nightmares in which he was never able to make it to the first tee. No matter how hard he tried, Nicklaus said, he was never able to get there. The six-time Masters champion described his nightmare while saying, “I haven’t had it recently, but I used to have a dream all the time that it was my time to get to the first tee and I could never get there. No matter what I did, somebody ran into me and kept me from getting to the first tee. I never quite got there, and I always woke up before it was my tee shot.”
