If I have a weakness, it's probably ice cream. That's where I get lax, sloppy. I'll sneak into the refrigerator at night and take two or three bites and put it back. Butter pecan. Only two or three bites, but it shows.

Oakmont, you've got to be playing slope.

He's going to be around a long, long time, if his body holds up. That's always a concern with a lot of players because of how much they play. A lot of guys can't handle it. But it looks like Tiger Woods can.
Jack Nicklaus
If I had only one more round to play, I would choose to play it at Pebble Beach. I've loved this course from the first time I saw it. It's possibly the best in the world.
Jack Nicklaus
I think I fail a bit less than everyone else.
Jack Nicklaus
You can win tournaments when you're mechanical, but golf is a game of emotion and adjustment. If you're not aware of what's happening to your mind and your body when you're playing, you'll never be able to be the very best you can be.
Jack Nicklaus
Golfers have a tendency to be very masochistic. They like to punish themselves for some reason. A lot of them like tough courses.

Nick O'Leary is a tough kid. He doesn't use gloves. It's freezing outside and he's obviously wearing short sleeves like all the other guys that let their guns stick out.
Jack Nicklaus
Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's level of aspiration and expectation.
Jack Nicklaus
Tom Watson, Tom Watson blew, what, two PGA Championships and a U.S. Open. Did it destroy his life? No, it didn't destroy his life. He learned from it. He went on to win a lot of major championships and obviously became one of the world's great players.
Jack Nicklaus
That's sort of overkill. We've had 70 years of the Ryder Cup, and it's gotten along just fine. The pendulum will swing back without making a monumental thing about it.
Jack Nicklaus
How people keep correcting us when we are young! There is always some bad habit or other they tell us we ought to get over. Yet most bad habits are tools to help us through life.
Jack Nicklaus
I don't care how old your children get, you're always a dad.
Jack Nicklaus
Augusta National is a young man's golf course, and you really need a young man's nerves to play on it.
Jack Nicklaus
Pete Egoscue has totally changed my life. Never have I experienced such complete pain relief as I have by following the Egoscue Method.
Jack Nicklaus
I play the Father/Son every year on the PGA TOUR Champions. I split it between Jackie and Gary as my playing partners.
Jack Nicklaus
As long as I'm prepared, I always expect to win.
Jack Nicklaus
I like trying to win. That's what golf is all about.
Jack Nicklaus
You have to trust your kids. They have to experience life, and you just hope you've provided them a foundation for what's right and what isn't.
