More quotes by 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
They [my sons] all went to different schools and all did different things. They're about as different for five kids as you'll ever see. They don't do anything the same.
Jack Nicklaus
Focus on remedies, not faults.
Jack Nicklaus
I guess that's why they call it Hell.
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
A perfectly straight shot with a big club is a fluke.
Jack Nicklaus
You have to watch your handicap. My son Steve says, Never make a putt you don't have to.

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.

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 think you ever will yourself to win. I think you prepare yourself the best you can, get yourself in the best mindset you can get in, and go after it.
Jack Nicklaus
I think in my case winning fans came as a result of winning tournaments. Certainly, I didn't have too many supporters when I came on Tour. I didn't look like an athlete, I was overweight, had a crew cut, baggy clothes and on top of that I didn't smile much. I was very serious about my game, literally and figuratively the heavy.
Jack Nicklaus
Temper is the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it.
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
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
As long as I'm prepared, I always expect to win.
Jack Nicklaus
When I want a long ball, I spin my hips faster.
Jack Nicklaus
Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's level of aspiration and expectation.
Jack Nicklaus
If you'd asked me at 30 where I'd be during the Masters when I was 46, I'd have pictured myself on a boat fishing, smoking a cigar, drinking a mint julep and watching it on television.
