Part 1 of 3 airs tonight for anyone wanting to set their dvr's. Hope it's good. There should be countless of chances at reruns given its the golf channel but just a reminder for anyone interested.

It was entertaining but felt like a puff piece. I have no idea if there is any real controversy in the Nicklaus family but this series had no intention of showing it off there was.
This is the argument I have made forever!!!!CyclingAg82 said:t - cam said:

One thing about Nicklaus - from everything I have read about him, and now shown in this series....totally devoted to his wife and family. I never really heard of anything remotely controversial about him.
The show did not highlight anything negative- because there wasn't any to speak of. Of course he was in his prime when there weren't multiple idiots around him with cellphone cameras. So there's that.
Even more amazing was his win total vs. tournaments entered. According to PGA Tour, he entered 595 events and made the cut 506. 286 Top Ten finishes...and then there are the ridiculous stats from the majors. 18 wins and 19 runner ups, is a record for the ages.oldschool87 said:This is the argument I have made forever!!!!CyclingAg82 said:t - cam said:

In his absolute prime age of his golfing career, he tried to play the minimums for roughly 8 years so he could be with his family!!!!
If he practiced half as much as Tiger, not even practiced, just showed up to the course 1 day earlier, he probably wins another 5 majors, and who knows how many more wins, he just did not enter the tournament...
You look at Jack's swing in his twenties, it is pure violence!!!
