Wow! Awesome.

[Ferguson]

This is a really cool read.

When the time comes, as it will for all of us, I can imagine on a bronze plaque the quote for Jack........"It was all for the children"......... :heart:

Excellent read. Thanks for posting.

Great stuff..the GOAT.

[ironmikes]

Thanks for the article.

Between Jack and Arnold these two guys are what life and golf is really about.

The fact they never forgot where they came from is outstanding .

two class acts for sure !

A week of reminiscences. Dan Jankins passes and I pick up "His Ownself."

 

Now this.

 

Great stuff.

Great Read....but $300.00 worth of range balls in 1950? I would imagine someone was in trouble....

[farmer]

Well, that would be Jack, all class. All the children, all the families he's touched, amazing. As an aside, I wonder how many range balls equaled $300.00 in those days?

[DavePelz4]

You need to add "Grab some Kleenex" to the title please.

Wow this was an incredible read. What a guy. Even better that he's an Ohio guy!

Funny thing.

 

Just as I'm reading this piece and get to the part about the young fan of his and the reason for Jack's wearing the yellow shirt on Sundays (at the Masters in '86 especially), on comes Jack and Barbara talking about this exact same thing at the Player's today.

Love the GOAT, but I can't be the only person who found this unbelievably self-serving

better than “ rounds should be 12 holes”, or “ the cup should be bigger”

I got home from work, turned the TV on and the first thing that I saw was Jack and Barbara sat there in yellow as well.

Very true!

I don't know, but $300 in 1950 equals $3000 today. If my kid rang up a $3000 tab for range balls, there'd be trouble.

It is getting pretty dusty in my office right now...

 

Thanks for the range inflation. I am trying to figure if I would be happy or upset if my boys hit $3,000 in range balls.

Would depend on many trophies they hoisted....my guess is you’d overlook if they brought home some hardware.

Great read. Love all the respect he shows for Arnie.
