Re: The King Is Gone
whenever someone of his era dies, brings me back to conversations with my Dad as we watched golf tourneys on TV. He "hated" Nicklaus  |

funny thing; my Dad loved Palmer and did not like Nicklaus; parents retired to South Florida near Jack; my Dad was a huge baseball fan, coached me in Little League and came to every game I played until I "retired" at 18; he was at a game watching my nephew (his grandson) in Florida and Jack was in the stands watching his son play; my Dad sat next to him and they talked about watching your kids play sports and my Dad was so impressed he changed his mind....still wanted Arnie to beat him though |

Re: The King Is Gone
Arnie was so popular with our Dad's generation, that when Jack came along, somehow his look and approach just rubbed a lot of folks the wrong way. Meeting someone face to face will often change that perception, happened to me many times (obviously not with celebrities).

Re: The King Is Gone
I Loved to watch the skins with Nicklaus, Trevino, Palmer, Rodriguez and Couples.
