The leader board was insane. Seve looked unstoppable. Kite played so well. Watson was right there. Norman should have won. But he didn't. Story of his life outside of wine and cattle.

Spring semester, freshman year, main campus. I remember that everyone wanted to know about Jack’s MacGregor putter after he won. It was very oversized for the time, and much different than the blade putter he had used for most of his career.

Writing a White Paper that forever changed my life.

I did get to watch the last 9 holes on Sunday, but by that point Wife #1, who was a golf addict, already had enough of me.

Great to put this on the big screen. FFWD as needed, but don't miss anything.

Where does this rank on your "Damn, I'm glad I got to watch that" list?

I was 16 somewhere in NEW. JERSEY. o_O being a pain in the a$$.

😞
I was 13 in New Jersey, sweating out whether or not I would pass 8th grade and move on to high school. Surely also being a pain in the ***. But I do remember watching this. Probably the first time I got roped into watching golf. Great match.

Junior year at PSU. In my apartment at Beaver Hills. As Jack made his charge, town actually started to buzz! I opened the balcony and listened to the roars as I cheered in the apartment. So memorable!! Amazing that Jack Nicklaus’s charge is one of my favorite memories!! 40 years ago!! Yikes!

It was crazier here in Columbus--which is already a golf crazy town and Jack is a native (well, suburban Upper Arlington, anyway).

I was pulling the engine on my 1974 triumph Spitfire. Running in an out of the garage on the final round
