My kids all do love to hunt and fish. When they get together, I think that's what they get together more for than anything else.
Jack Nicklaus
My workout was playing other sports and I always played tennis, football, basketball, threw a baseball - I was always doing something to keep me active. That's how I kept my body going.
Jack Nicklaus
We called [my son] Gary Little Herschel when he was in middle school - but then he didn't grow any taller. He ended up playing golf and being a really nice golfer.
Jack Nicklaus
Essentially, he has been retired since he was 21.

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 play the Father/Son every year on the PGA TOUR Champions. I split it between Jackie and Gary as my playing partners.
Jack Nicklaus
I've had a lot of majors where I didn't play well until the last round. Keep yourself in contention that's the name of the game. I usually ended up shooting a good round and all of a sudden, somehow, I won.
Jack Nicklaus
Well, I think that Augusta is not the same golf course that I grew up on. Bobby Jones' philosophy was giving you space off the tee if you put it in the right side of the fairway, you ended up getting the right angle to the green.
Jack Nicklaus
I understand golf is a game, and I've never treated it as anything else. Family is something that's very special, and so they all contributed to the room. They all contributed to what my life was, my career was.
Jack Nicklaus
The fact is, I diet every day of my life. I have to work at it. But I diet so I can pig out.
Jack Nicklaus
Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game's two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.
Jack Nicklaus
Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's level of aspiration and expectation.
Jack Nicklaus
Jones is the greatest golfer who ever lived and probably ever will live. That's my goal. Bobby Jones. It's the only goal.
Jack Nicklaus
Confidence is believing in your own ability, knowing what you have to do to win. My confidence was developed through preparation.
Jack Nicklaus
Grand Haven will challenge the skilled player yet, because of some width to the holes, it also will be a fun course that the average player can enjoy.
Jack Nicklaus
Once you play a tournament, you're playing against the golf course, you're playing against yourself and trying to do the best you can.
Jack Nicklaus
Scoring comes from being able to preserve what you've got and play your smart shots when you need to play them and not do stupid things and take advantage of things when have you them.
Jack Nicklaus
I think you've all heard my story about my daughter and how we felt Children's Hospital saved her life when she was less than a year old. I won't go through all of the details of that.
Jack Nicklaus
Every putt is different. Your feet dictate the stroke by how they feel on the green. I just never used the same stroke on every putt.
Jack Nicklaus
I love the golf courses because it brought the best out of me. It made me prepare, made me work at it, made me do the things I needed to do to be better, and that's what I loved about USGA events. If you couldn't handle it, then you got beat, and that's OK.
Jack Nicklaus
