April 11, 20179 yr Anyone else watching or recording this? I caught the end of the first episode today. It runs for four nights and digs into the life and career of the GOAT, Jack Nicklaus.
April 11, 20179 yr Author One interesting tidbit, they used to have a long drive contest at the US Open or the PGA (I don't remember) Jack won it back in the 60's with a 341 yard drive. The PGA brought the contest back last year, I think, and the winner hit it 340 yards. Imagine what Jack would have done in his prime with today's equipment and gold balls.

I wonder if he would still hit that 1-iron or if he would switch to hybrids...nobody hit a long iron better than Jack...NOBODY...
