A message to Tiger. :-)
That’s Nicklaus, not Nicholson, LOL. I read it wrong at first... celebrity golf versus golf celebrity.
I rarely watch golf but I just loved reading this. A very classy gentleman. Yes, he still has it. :-) (growing up, dad ALWAYS had control over the TV, so I watched what he watched...sports and news.)
Sitting in a pizza place at lunch glancing at it and this old guy walks up to the tee and hey, it’s Nicklaus, and then he hits it and everybody in the place starts yelling. Owner sez, “Heck, Nicklaus just bought the bar.” So there I am with a beer in front of me and the boss walks in and sez, “What’s all the excitement?”
wow that is amazing! thank you for the post. a greater human being then golfer, the Golden Bear still has the class, integrity and indomitable spirit that’s old school, old America. he’s still the same man i cheered on as boy 50 years ago. my dad liked Arnold, but i was all in for Nicklaus. thank you Jack for yet another great moment.
Congrats, Jack! My all-time favorite golfer!
They broke the mold with him and Arnold.
Old guys rule!
Anyone who has read the books that both Arnie and Jack have written about their lives, beliefs, golf and the 100% importance of their ‘old fashioned’ families to them, knows they both would make outstanding FReepers! (Heck, maybe they are both here on the sly!). Jack and Arnie are the very best of Men.
Now somebody explain how that could possibly happen in real life.
