Jack Nicklaus

[444 Magnum]

For you golfers who know how improbable this shot is. This was 15 years ago and is not AI.
Johnny Miller says "yeah, show me how to do it..."
So he did.
Jack's caddy saw it coming.



I love the casual way Jack just walks over and schools Johnny. I don't think he could do it twice but the lightheartedness of the event and the fact that he made it are timeless.
Truly the GOAT.

Unfortunately I couldn’t get the video to run. But while we’re on the golfing GOAT subject, don’t forget my favorite for that spot - Arnold Palmer.

When I was a student at Ohio State, I once had a class with Jack. I never knew or spoke with him, only was in the same class. I don’t remember what class it was, just one of the electives.

[THE PILGRIM]

Way back - was going to B-58 Upgrade at Carswell AFB, Ft. Worth, TX.
Several of the guys were avid Golfers and they went to the Golf Tourney at nearby Colonial Country Club at every opportunity.
Ben Hogan was past his prime, but he was the Club Pro.
My Guys thought he was God and followed him around the course.
The officials moved them back and announced that a Golfer would be hitting across the Dogleg.
The fans including my Guys were totally confused! Long shot, tall trees. Nobody can make that shot!
Then a ball comes flying over the trees and lands on the Fairway!
They look at each other in confusion!
The Golfer’s Name was announced.
What? Santa Claus plays Golf?
It was of course Jack and it was the first time My Guys actually heard his name.
But not the last time!
