Guide For Beginning Golfers

You cannot mention more revered names in golf than the three noted in this writing. Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer have acheived such greatness in the sport of golf. They are all reaching milestone ages and Tom Watson is still going strong at 60 years young. If Jack Nicklaus hadn’t sustained so many injuries both to his hips and back he would still be playing and competing today. He made a brief appearance in the skins game partnering with Tom Watson and both of them were victorious playing against some of the younger bucks on the senior tour such as Fred Couples. Couples was another golfer who has been plagued by injuries through out much of his career.

The photo above of Jack, Tom and Arnold with another golfing great Ray Floyd brings back fond memories of when all four were playing and competing against each other. What a rivalry it was and what an era in golf. We may never see those days again. What I wouldn’t give to see Arnold, Jack, Tom and Ray hitting golf balls again in the weekly tournaments like they did so many years ago. Happy Golfing to All!
