Golf is game of respect and sportsmanship; we have to respect its traditions and its rules. -Jack Nicklaus Respect
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 Diet
People don't want to go to the dump and have a picnic, they want to go out to a beautiful place and enjoy their day. And so I think our job is to try to take the environment, take what the good Lord has given us, and expand upon it or enhance it, without destroying it. -Jack Nicklaus Good

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 he can. -Jack Nicklaus Sports
