I heard yesterday that Ford and Nicholas were also business partners.

Jack Nicklaus is truly a class act, a real American hero and role model in the way he conducts himself on the course, in his business affairs and in his personal life.

Great post.

I hadn't previously heard about the "dog connection" between President Ford and Jack Nicklaus, but I'm not surprised.

I know that Jack Nicklaus has done some great work for the Republican Party. He made several campaign appearances for and with President Bush in Ohio in 2004, which of course ended up being the crucial state.

Jack, an Ohio State grad, is a revered figure in Ohio. He recently "dotted the i" at a football game, where the OSU marching band spells out a script "Ohio," with the "i" usually being dotted by the guy with the big white tuba. Quite an honor for Jack, and well deserved.

My gym used to display a golfing photo of Ford, Nicklaus, Berra, and one other (maybe Bob Hope?).

Two of my favorite people. It is fitting that they found and shared a part of their lives together.

And when I say a 13- or 14-handicap, I mean he was a real 13 or 14.

Unlike that cheating hacker Billy Jeff.

"The former president was a big hitter off the tee and played to about a 13- or 14-handicap," Nicklaus said.

Big hitter, that Lama.

Ok, sorry, couldn't resist.
