How good is it listening to Jack Nicklaus on Sky?

[G1BB0]

loving it already especially when Montgomerie tried to say his 16 then mentioned Jack's 45

I actually dont mind seeing much golf atm as can listen to him all evening.

 

[Siren]

I am the same as you mate, I could listen to him talk all day long about golf.

 

[Foxholer]

Very sound advice about not hitting shots that can send you out of the tournament!

 

[G1BB0]

you dont have to play amazing and win this tournament is the best statement I think.

also theres no diffcult putt from the centre of every green.

 

[adiemel]

Yes have to agree with you theere foxholer. Surely that is advice we could all use when ever we play.

Can listen to Nicklaus all day. Perhaps Monty will learn that it doesn't have to be "me" all the time. Jack is open has something good to say about everyone.

 

[G1BB0]

I like Monty but he is totally overshadowed!

great viewing roll on the next 3 days :thup:

You'd think it was Monty with 18 Majors to his name. The man is a self obsessed clown

Amen to that. Would love Jack to just tell him to pipe down

I'd actually pay to see that.

Its great listening to Jack, he makes everything in the game sound so simple.

The Master....

 

[Dodger]

I was watching on ESPN but flicked over to listen to Mr Nicklaus and couldnt quite bear the slime that was coming out of Montys mouth, every sentence was "blah blah blah, Im sure Jack will agree", "blah blah blah, isnt that right Jack". Sickening and sometimes you could see Mr Nicklaus answering his question but body language was telling that he wanted to continue with what they were already discussing.

Butch Harmon did the right thing and just sat back and listened which to me speaks volumes about him too, Butch probably has more anecdotes about Augusta and its competitions etc than Monty but was happy to just sit back and listen.

I liked listening to him talk about golf, but not that keen on his commentary skills.

+1 to this. Whoever described Monty as self-obsessed was right on the money. Just shut up and listen, Colin. You (yes, even you) might learn something if you kept quiet for 5 minutes.

The best bit of advice Jack gave was "Don't do anything dumb." Anyone can make a mistake, the key is not to follow it up with another one.

Why do they keep calling him Mr ? He is Jack, or big Jack to everyone that has ever picked up a club in anger.

Amazing to think he was very unpopular at the beginning of his career, especially in the US, when he started beating Arnie. Has always been a true sportsman in victory and defeat.

They used to call him Fat Jack, didn't they?

I think Arnie's Army called him a lot worse.
