Jack Nicklaus hitting a tee shot on the 11th hole at  St. Andrews in a practice round at the 1995 British Open.  I first saw Jack in person at an exhibition match with Tom Watson in Seattle, Washington in 1981.  The man compiled the most impressive record in golf history, with 18 professional major championships and two U.S. Amateur titles. 

I also saw him at St. Andrews in '90, the 1995 Senior U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club outside of Washington, D.C., and the 2003 Jeld-Wen Tradition at the Reserve Golf Club in my home town of Aloha, Oregon.   It was always a thrill.

Nicklaus was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974.
