Johnny Miller is a very honest guy. That may have been to his detriment sometimes. On television, he's too honest. We talk about it a lot. Do you really need to be that honest? You know what I mean? But he's a good man. He's a good family man. He's got good values, and we're delighted to have him as our honoree.

I have a couple [of grandsons] that are in college playing lacrosse. It's great and it's fun. But they all also play golf a little bit.
Jack Nicklaus
If a guy is a good athlete, he'll end up being a pretty decent golfer if he just takes it up. But you never master it even the best players in the world never master the game.

Whether it's pool or Ping Pong, I can't stand to have my kids beat me. Especially Ping Pong! And when they beat me, they just needle the devil out of me. That's fine. I'd rather have that than let them win a shallow victory.

Focus on remedies, not faults.

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.

My ability to concentrate and work toward that goal has been my greatest asset.
Jack Nicklaus
We don’t have to do a bunch of things to figure out how to win the Ryder Cup. Just go play golf. ... I’m a little bit too casual probably about a lot of things, but you can’t force good play. Good play comes from good hard work and actually being prepared to play, not being forced to play.
Jack Nicklaus
You don't think anything about age when you're playing [golf]. I mean, why would you ever think about that.
Jack Nicklaus
Pressure is what you live for...if you are going to be successful in life, you're going to have pressure.
Jack Nicklaus
Temper is the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it.
Jack Nicklaus
The holes are numbered.
Jack Nicklaus
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
The worse you're performing, the more you must work mentally and emotionally. The greatest and toughest art in golf is playing badly well. All the true greats have been masters at it.
Jack Nicklaus
If you want to hit it farther, hit it better.
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 don't think about winning the Masters as part of the slam. You want to win the Masters because of what it means to the game.
