More quotes by Jack Nicklaus
When I want a long ball, I spin my hips faster.
Jack Nicklaus
The importance of my legacy is not the golf course, it's what my life is, and what my life is intended to be. The game of golf is a game. My family is my life.
Jack Nicklaus
I like to catch fish and release them. I probably haven't killed a fish that I've caught in sport fishing for 20 years. No reason to kill it. You know, just take it and release it.
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.

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.
Jack Nicklaus
I'm more proud of the good rounds I've played while hitting the ball badly than of the great rounds while hitting the ball well. I understand my swing well enough to get myself through a tournament and win it. I've made it work.
Jack Nicklaus
I like trying to win. That's what golf is all about.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf is you against yourself.
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
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
Don't be too proud to take lessons. I'm not.
Jack Nicklaus
This is a game. That's all it is. It's not a war.
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
Pete Egoscue has totally changed my life. Never have I experienced such complete pain relief as I have by following the Egoscue Method.
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.
Jack Nicklaus
But if I played well and prepared myself properly, then all I had to do was control myself and put myself in a position to win.
Jack Nicklaus
Any golfer worth his salt has to cross the sea and try to win the British Open.
Jack Nicklaus
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
I never missed a putt in my mind.
Jack Nicklaus
