Just Jack Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Hey, thanks! Oh wait, you weren't talking about me. Watching that, I kept wondering if it was going to fast to drop in the cup.
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 14, 2010 Author Posted August 14, 2010 Hey, thanks! Oh wait, you weren't talking about me. Watching that, I kept wondering if it was going to fast to drop in the cup. Looks like it has a backspin?
The Dean Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 I don't think I have ever seen Jack step up to a put and strike it that quickly. I remember when he would take a good 5 minutes to strike the ball. Hail to Jack!
BuffaloBill Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 The guy is a legend so don't take the comment wrong but there was a ton of luck involved in that ball dropping. The speed was clearly all wrong so if he is slightly off the line that ball blows past the hole in a big way. With that said it was fun to watch and I sure miss him out on the tour.
ajzepp Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 I only caught the last part of Jack's great career, but have many fond memories of watching him as a kid. I actually have to give him a lot of the credit for why I have as much interest in golf as I do...the guy was just amazing. Him, Arnie, the guy who always did the sword fighting thing with his putter, Curtis STrange, Nick Faldo, and the man with the greatest short game in the history of golf, Mr Corey Pavin. I had the chance to see all these guys play live when I was a kid and it was great. Nowadays I couldn't tell you more than about 4 or 5 top names, but I do enjoy watching the majors. Like tennis, it just doesn't have the same feel as it did when I was growing up. BTW, Kudos to whoever won the PGA today lol
shrader Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Other than having the muscle required to putt the ball that far, I can't imagine that this is a skill a guy will ever lose no matter how old he gets (as long as he can still walk).
Bullpen Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 the guy who always did the sword fighting thing with his putter Chi Chi Rodriguez.
BuffaloBill Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Looks like Jack put on a few lbs..... Looking at your avatar makes me think implanted lbs
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Chi Chi Rodriguez. Johnny: Les, correct me if I'm wrong, but have you developed a recent fondness for alliteration? Les: Well, I'm trying to find a style, Johnny. All good newsmen nowadays have to have a style in order to stand out from the crowd. Johnny: But Les, you've always had a real style of your own. How many newsmen called Chi Chi Rodrigues Chiy-Chiy Rodwagwayz? And what is it you call those little Mexican dogs? Les: Cheehooahooas? Johnny: That's style, Les!
