Meeting Jack Nicklaus

photo credit: nsaplayer   If you had an opportunity to talk to Jack Nicklaus, on his 79th birthday for just 5 minutes, what would you say?  Here is what I would say:  “Jack, I met you for a handshake in the early 1960’s when you were relatively new on tour.  You were leaving the practice green and I stopped you as you headed towards the first tee.”

“Jack, I want to thank you for giving me all of those exiting moments throughout your long career.  For being such a great representative of the game throughout your career and for just being a genuinely nice guy.  At first I was ticked at you for challenging the ‘king,’ Arnold Palmer but you made a true believer out of me.  Thanks again, for all the memories !

What would you say to Nicklaus, we’d like to hear your comments ?
