Yes...they are really gorgeous. Hmmmmm....me want.

[natedd]

Odd question and probably silly...Is the pro necessarily the father? Could Rickie Fowler bring his dad out? Or Paula Creamer bring her dad?

[TheMoneyShot]

No more PowerBilts for Fuzzy?

Does anyone know if these were even produced or made specially for him. Just checked ebay and came up blank. There are several sets of JNP cavity irons.

The Father has had to have won a major championship and can bring son, stepson, daughter, or stepdaughter, grandson or grandaughter. (I believe)

JNP Classics!

Correct on the criteria for playing

They made them, they do not show up too often, probably cause the didn't sell many.

Greg, Once again thanks for the awesome pics! I am happy to see this tournament back again. One of the best!

How cool is Jack Nicklaus WITB pics. Awesome stuff.

[tarheelscratch]

Saw a funny video on Lee Trevino and his son, his son was asked about listening to what his dad taught him and admitted he didn't always do what his dad told him. The interviewer asked him what happend when his dad found out he didn't listen and he said "he makes me polish his major championship trophies to remind me he knows what he is talking about"

[Philfil]

Too bad the photographer didn't go over to the Nike shop set up on the range for the pro-am players, they had both new Covert drivers on display!!!

A set sold on Ebay in May of 2011...only ones I could find...beautiful set of irons [total of 500 sets made].

[Bogey's Belly]

Nicklaus has gone as far as adopting the “casual” shoes, yet he is still rocking a set of blades… that is pretty salty.

[cz13X4]

those j40 blades get me every time.. so dreamy

There's a thread on all the Nike Covert equipment with hand held, close up photos of the drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons so really didn't need to shoot any photos of it in the little set up they had on the range

Jack looks dorky in those shoes. Just not right for him.

At 70+ yrs of age, you go for comfort and not worry about whether someone thinks you look dorky.

I liked seeing pics of the course, played there in October and it was in fantastic condition. It's also nice to see what the sons are playing.

With all that Jack has done for the game, he could play golf while wearing a tank top, board shorts, and some flip flops. The sneaker-like shoes are a good look, IMO.

[floycota]

Who is playing the Topflite Intimidator woods?

[jastroud]

I thought it was interesting that Jack was playing a Taylormade ball...not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think that bag belongs to Bernhard Langer's daughter.

If memory serves, Trevino had a hand in designing those woods.

I talked with David this morning, as he walked off the range on the way to the practice green about Nike equipment. He said he had not hit the new Covert Driver yet but was having a driver, fairway wood and hybrid being built for him.

Said he was looking forward to hitting it.

Also, said he had not had a chance to test the new ball yet but was playing last years version of the 20XI-X.

[/quote]My rep said that Nike would have an increased staff (other than the big names already mentioned--Rory--Whatney) but I never thought Duval would be in on that. Interesting indeed.

Yes they are Christina Langer's fairway woods.
