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.

The best way to cope with trouble is to stay out of it as much as possible.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf is you against yourself.
Jack Nicklaus
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.
Jack Nicklaus
I think I fail a bit less than everyone else.
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.
Jack Nicklaus
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
The long irons are the nemesis of the average golfer. I'm convinced that the underlying reason for this is that he keeps hearing how hard they are to handle. They're not that difficult, truly.
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.
Jack Nicklaus
I learned early in my career, where you get so wrapped up and so excited, that all of a sudden you don't think. So I worked very hard to keep myself suppressed. And that's one of the reasons I wasn't gregarious with the gallery.
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
If you're going to be a player people will remember, you have to win the Open at St. Andrews.
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
I couldn't care less who I'm paired with. There's nobody I've ever played better or worse with, thank goodness. You don't want any factor to be outside your control. What if Arnie's Army had bothered me? What id I'd said, Oh geez, I'm paired with Palmer, I'd never had beaten him.
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
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
Sometimes, I'm an ogre. I can be short. I'll walk into the office some days and I've gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, and everybody knows it. I'm a perfectionist. I like to be organized, and I like to get everything done today.
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
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.
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
Confidence is believing in your own ability, knowing what you have to do to win. My confidence was developed through preparation.
