Yeah, he was known as "Fat Jack" and people resented him for displacing Arnie. But as you said, he turned it all around. Lost weight, got the cool hair. Most of all, he was the greatest. He remains the gold standard, and I am glad I got to see him play in his prime. A class act all the way.

I gotta be honest about Jack, as I love the guy and his game, and his great decency, but I shagged balls for him decades ago at Oakmont C.C. in Pittsburgh one fine morning........... and he was not (at that time) a real charitable tipper.
