![Tee Grizzley - Blow for Blow (feat. J. Cole) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wNLN5xsx5dc/mqdefault.jpg)
His words should be etched over the entrance of every golf club--- " when you have played to the best of your ability but still lost, shake your opponent's hand, say "well done", mean it and remain friends ". Not just a super golfer but a real sportsman.
That's why he's the greatest champion of all time
Yes, he played a par 3 course near me, and said "It was very tough."
That was a difficult "par-3" course.
(Every hole was a par-3, if I wasn't clear)
Jack Nicklaus called it "tough" or "difficult," I forget.
It was nice though..
I hated to see those last few clips. Unfortunately we all get old unless the Good Lord takes us early in life.
Amen man. It’s sad, but good to know we have hope in Jesus, if we believe we are born again and have eternal life.
Yeah its too bad, like my papaou always said father time is undefeated....
@@Ti_Fire AMEN
what? i loved those clips. hes still out playing. beautiful
Why. He’s still out there at 80 plus. Golf is good for you
What an amazing athlete and the best golfer 🏌🏿♂️ of all time!! THE GOAT 🐐 OF PROFESSIONAL GOLF ⛳️
So legendary. Great video.
Backswing gets a bit shorter but everything else remains the same - awesome player and even better man
Anyone else notice how much better it sounded coming off persimmon than metal. I'm glad I learned with those and the blades. They were mercilessly unforgiving, but when you flushed it, oh, was it ever sweet.
Very consistent swing plane through all those years.
Legend
consistency
Started playing a draw in the later swings.. a classic
Just classic
🎉super excellent
I love you
Perfected his tempo so he can use his swing at any age, 🫡
Amazing...so cool
This kid might have a future in golf.
He’ll get burnt out
He doesn’t have a future, but a past
It took crazy long for that swing speed to slow down, major respect
Absolutely
🔥
I was watching the same thing it wasn't really until the last like 4 or 5 swings
I read once at 60 years old he had his clubhead speed checked and it was around 118 mph
Yes true dat
The goat
Father Time is undefeated. Enjoy your younger years while you can everyone!
That’s kind of what I took out of
all that. I never was thinking much about the swing.
yes those geezer swings are heartbreaking
You are wrong imo. I enjoy and play better golf now at 73 than I did at 23,33,43..,,,,,My technique is better and today’s equipment is much better. Despite all my orthopedic injuries I actually have more shots in my arsenal. Only thing I’ve lost is distance and that is taken care of by playing the forward tees. Enjoying it more than ever.
@@jherl8307 oh yeah. You could still be improving at 73 with great attention to fitness and flexibility as well as refined technique.
@@jherl8307 Exactly my experience. I'm 66 years old and have lowest handicap of my life and I started with golf lessons at age 6. I have always loved the game, but the fact I am playing better than ever I consider it a gift from God in return for 46 years working hard and providing jobs for many, many people throughout those years sometimes at the expense of my own needs and interests.
Man 😩 you can see the movement in his shoulders on the downswing become less and less mobile through the years and even still found a way to adapt. LEGEND
The snap on his left heel remained though. Awesome transition
Yeah for sure! the late adjustment to fix his plane in his older years is something only someone who never misses the center of the face can do. Not arguably the goat for no reason
He might have lost his follow through but that’s not where the power comes from. Jack mastered his tempo so he can still make pure contact at any age,
Jack didn’t exactly take care of himself and care about being in peak physical condition. It’ll be interesting to see how Tiger is when he reaches Jack’s age as he’s been the complete opposite in that regard.
@@Wally17. Not really a good comparison considering Tiger's borderline crippled. Only age got to Jack.
Jack's the Best, EVER...
25 year old Jack with todays ball and equipment would be terrifying.
120 mph clubhead speed with a heavy steel shafted 42 inch persimmon driver moving a balata ball 300 yds was pretty good.
130 + titanium into a Pro V 😮
@@philhazel4810 .. with a fade too f'crissakes
Dude looks like a BEAST in that first swing.
If Jack was 25 in Tigers era, we would be saying Tiger who.
For many, it's a privilege to live so long you lose your golf swing due to old age. RIP Seve and Payne
Tony Lema as well. Tragic
One word...... GOAT
Good old Jack!!! Great guy always pulled for him....
The guy was a machine and in his younger days a monster off the tee. Just watch his early swings with a metal driver at 43.5 inches and a wooden head. Listen to the sound and you'll know what I mean without actually seeing the ball flight.
He had a MacGregor persimmon wooded headed driver with a 42 inch steel shaft
He said in an interview. If he was young now and playing with modern equipment. He would be the longest hitter on tour and it wouldn't be close.
I don't doubt it. He was hitting 280 in his 70's ffs lol
@@ryancampbell4445 Yeah in the 60's and 70's he could reach back and carry it 300+ whenever he wanted with persimmon drivers and balata balls. Pretty crazy.
@@ryancampbell4445 believe it. His technique is similar to one of a long drive competitors nowdays. He coils up as much as he can and then pivots on his left as he follows through thats a sign of alot power. Its what Bryson and others started doing also to get that extra power and protect their body.
Jack Nicklaus is why I did not finish college. Rather I would head to the library and read magazines and books on Jack then head to the course and skip class. 😊
how that turn out for ya ?
@@phillp7777right in the lumberyard?
18 Majors and 19 runner up finishes and n majors. Crazy numbers. And his swing is aesthetically underrated. His swing was near perfect.
What’s perfect?
I hear Hogan this,,, Hogan that... Never Jack's. Obviously greaat swing, man was powerfull and athletic.
Gotta admit. The runner up stat is actually mind blowing and the one argument that Jack is the GOAT over Tiger. That being said, Tigers stats are just hard to ignore. Jack never had a season quite like Tigers 2000-2001 season.
Jack's swing got it done. Sam Snead was perfect. Hogan was the best ballstriker. Jack was 100x better at managing the course than Sam.
@@brbob4934 From what I've seen and heard Snead basically only ever drew or hit the ball straight.
Some things never change.
like his head raising up!
Great video. You can see the awesome power of his gr8 swing. He poured his entire body into it all, and still does...in his 80s. He put a hurtin' on that golf ball!!!
It's impressive to see how hard he was still going after it as he aged. Inspiring really
One swing ....he's only got one swing.....
The way he finishes with golf club so tilted up is legendary.
High finish
high trajectory....
High trajectory..... soft Landing
Soft Landing .....ball stops quicker.
THE G.O.A.T 🐐
My favorite athlete and a role model for all people
The GOAT!
He’s 2nd best, but still a Legend.
Ya Bobby Jones might have been better@@Hammock63
No one even comes close to touching Nicklaus. I love TW but Not even the Tiger.
@@Hammock6318 is more than 15
@@red_mamba18 is more than 15 Cheetah should have made more putts and stayed away from the hoes
In 1961 Jack burst the insert on his persimmon driver several times. Think about that for a minute. This is like hitting a modern titanium driver and denting the face.
Remarkably consistent without a doubt. "The Golden Bear"
GREATEST OF ALL TIME
The GOAT.
The SGOAT (second greatest of all time)
@@joeldriver-sp2rg do some research... he's still the greatest... Tiger hasn't beaten Jack's record... and never will..
@@paulmarsh8974 Jack played in 77 more majors than Tiger has and only has 3 more. Apparently you're the one who needs to do research.
@@nay8991 oh, so that's the measuring stick now? I think most will go with majors.
@@joeldriver-sp2rg jack had 19 2nd place finished , nobody close and top 10 in majors, jack would need super binoculars to see 2nd place.
When I was growing up in the 60's - 80's, Jack Nicklaus was the best player and I always wanted to swing like him.
I did too. I had the exact same build and it worked out pretty well: I got very long off the tee and could hit high 1 irons. I don't care what anyone says--hitting the ball long and high is the greatest pleasure in golf. I stopped playing around 30, but I'd still go to the range now and then to crank long balls. Always get a little gallery and it would give me an ego boast. EVERYONE wants to hit it long. Thanks Jack. You were a great model to have as a kid: not just with the swing but how you comported yourself on and off the course.
Jack seldom gets mentioned when the talk of the "all time greatest ball strikers" comes up. But, he most certainly was!
That swing tempo never changed ..true class 💎🧸
The BEST ever. Period.
Absolutely!
Comma. Semi-colon.
Still the GOAT!
Jack knew about Ground Reaction Forces and the left heel stamp long before we all worked it out 50 years later!
G. O. A. T..
AND A GENTLEMAN WIN OR LOSE 🙏🏻
And we can't say that about many others today....the prima donnas😂!!!!
In golf? Sure we can!!!
I will never forget the feel between persimmon wood and rubber insert against a wound balata ball. And Nicklaus could really hit it.
Time is relentless and savage.
Time is undefeated
We all go thru it ...just life
Sorry y’all. The best ever.
Nice, Jack.
A lot of folks have parroted your swing over the years.
Nice again..
Its a different experience to see these athletes compete in person, especially during a scorching summer day. Men swinging heavy steel clubs and compressing the ball to generating that audible velocity. There’s a bit of an intimidating factor there when you think about it.
Just goes to show that even a terrible looking swing can be gold.
Image how far he would’ve hit that if modern technology when he was young. He had a pretty violent swing
Gosh… it’s sad to see by the end, what a mighty man having his walk with Father Time
Wonder how many times he's swung the club in his lifetime... A million or two?
Those hips. Even at old age. Still goin for it. One of the 🐐s
Yep it's actua;lly impressive that even in old age he was still really ripping it as much as he could
The GOAT...
Depressing video. Basically shows his life from birth to death. 😢
The greatest golfer of all time.
nope
@@natem1982
18 major wins with (19) 2nd place finishes. No one is even close.
@@frankkinley6272 Yeah i was undefeated in Mario kart on nintendo 64 for 10 years but in 2023 I wouldn't even come close to speed runners.
Sure can tell when the woods stop being, ya know, wood
I was pretty young back in the 70's but I remember Jack being the Earnhardt (Intimidator) of golf.
Yeah he was very intense, sometime surly, during tournament play.
I never realized how active his feet were during the swing.
At 58 he was in contention at The Masters
Can’t even begin to imagine how amazing that must have sounded in person back then
His left heel always comes off the ground. It obviously works. You do not see that anymore.
Sluggers still do it in baseball. It's an obvious power move you would think people would do
Wonder how many million golf balls Jack has hit in his lifetime.
I'm say 15 million ❤
Look up his teenage practice schedule, it's nuts.
Now that's power. The club head speed and acceleration is unbelievable. Wow!
Married quite young and promised wife that he would never be gone for more than 2 weekends in a row. 5 kids and by all accounts an involved family man. His record could maybe have been even greater. The first time I went to the Memorial tournament I wrote him a letter telling him how much I enjoyed it and how beautifully run it was (having been to dozens and dozens of tournaments for comparison) but wondering why there were no 'sign boys' carryiing mini-scoreboards with the golfers since that is such a treat for the local golfing youth. He took the time to write back that he wanted to maximize the experience for not only the players but for the spectators as well. I still have that letter.
I got sadder as the video went on:( mortality.
All of those swings look better than mine😂
Man can you imagine Nicholas, Jones, palmer playing with today's technology
it's Nicklaus...
They didnt need technology they were just that great
Can you imagine the golfers in 1710 playing with 1960s equipment.
Bro hammers the ball in the 4th clip dear god
Jack was a hammer. Swing never changed. 👍
A Jackhammer, perhaps?
18 wins & 19 runner-up in majors, GOAT. But his main pros are putting, especially clutch putting.
I could fall asleep to that sound and cadence like a lullaby
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it 🔧
Imagine him with modern tech and fitting
Jack has been my favorite since I started watching golf in the early 70s. 18 major wins. Most second place finishes in majors. Outstanding character and steady disposition. And to this day - a great ambassador for the game. There will never be anyone like the Golden Bear.
It’s a interesting video
It’s shows that he was one of the great golfers
You can’t teach that. The man was a savant.
Imagine a young Jack in todays game, with modern equipment?? Sheeeesh…
So true, he'd be able to swing even more freely...if you can imagine that.
@@shanebreon2506 He’d have Prime Tiger or Rory-like swing and ball speed, easily!
Even more impressive than Tiger
The Golf swing is Apollo 12
It really hurt my heart to see him at the masters this year. I'm afraid we don't have much more time with this great man.
You can hear when he changed from wood drivers to metal.
The goat
Amazing knee movement that helps his hip to turn faster then any other modern golfer.
A lot of hip movement…. 🤔
Father Time is powerful. Nobody has ever been able to conquer him.
You will always be my IDOL in gold. I learned the game from his Golf My Way vhs vid. I wish I never tried to change because of the teachers in the 80's/90's. 1 and 2 iron were my bail out clubs when I needed to shape a shot. also learned to do everything with one wedge. I loved the Mac Greggor irons, small blades. No one will beat this mans record! Tiger would have been the only one that could have but got caught up with all those damn swing changes.
ONE OF MY FAVES❤️🌹😎
Left knee left foot action is wild
I noticed that in this video. He lifts his front foot up, bends the knee inwards and throws it down and lets it rip. With modern ball and club technology he would be hitting 400 yard drives today.
左足のカカトで地面をぽんと叩き、左足を中心に上半身が回転して行くようだ！
今のドライバーとボールなら400ヤードは飛んで行くだろう？😅
@@竹村潤一-f5d I don’t speak Chinese, bro.
It's a real whip
Watch that left leg! Consistency for decades.
Those diffferent sounds over the years of the clubhead making contact with the ball - AMAZING
Shame we all get old
誰しもが、老いてしまう。
帝王でさえも。。。
I wish , Jack is back again !!
GOAT!
Note to anyone struggling with their swing consistency, just look at Jack’s head and see how much it moves from start of the swing to even way past the follow through. Working on the feel of having that core not move and just rotating round it should help you dramatically
I have no use for Nicklaus in regards to golf any longer. Supporting the PGA/LIV merger is supporting human rights violations and Nicklaus now supports this based on his acceptance and praise for the merger.
Also, if you were paired with a guy on the first tee that looked like Jack in his late 40’s and had that golf swing; you might consider betting a few bucks on the round.
4 hours later, you’d be looking for a new set of brake pads.
Excellent! The one thing that never changes with Jack was his ability to keep his head in the box throughout the swing. So difficult but completely necessary
Golf’s a lifetime sport
