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.
Jack Nicklaus
He had a lot of talent, but didn't have much dedication, wasn't organized, didn't know how to learn, didn't know how to comprehend what he was doing, didn't try to learn how to get better.

Sometimes the biggest problem is in your head. You've got to believe you can play a shot instead of wondering where your next bad shot is coming from.
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
All I ever wanted to do was play competitive golf against the best players in the world.
Jack Nicklaus
I've been fortunate over my career to make a little history on the 16th hole at Augusta National.
Jack Nicklaus
What's interesting about golf is that most athletes end up gravitating toward golf because it is such a difficult sport.
Jack Nicklaus
I'd rather be two strokes ahead going into the last day than two strokes behind. Having said that, it's probably easier to win coming from behind. There is no fear in chasing. There is fear in being chased.
Jack Nicklaus
Learn the fundamentals of the game and stick to them. Band-Aid remedies never last.
Jack Nicklaus
I never missed a putt in my mind.
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
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
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.
