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

 

You very well may be........

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:

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.

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.
