    So,not bad for a native of Ohio and a man that is also the designer
    of seven(7) of the top 100 courses.
    
    He is still one of my favorites for this years Masters or any 1988
    major!

246.1"Jack's Tale"OURVAX::GLASSFri Apr 08 1988 13:151
    Unless you were unaware,this is the record of a Mr.Jack Nicklaus!
246.2"the HAWKs Tale"NSG017::GORDONMon Apr 11 1988 13:4815
    if memory serves correctly..........
    
    Jack had a good shot at the grand slam in '72.....
    
    but what all golfers and sports comentatorys seem to always overlook
    and never mention is the fact that in...
    
    	1953 Ben Hogan won the MASTERS,BRITISH OPEN and U.S.OPEN and
    	but for schedule of P.G.A. conflicting with one of the above
    	tournaments he may have won that too.....
    
    No one not even JACK..can claim to have come as close as Ben did
    to matching Bob Jones GRAND SLAM....
    
    
246.3"they were BOTH great!!!"NSG017::GORDONMon Apr 11 1988 13:545
    someone once asked Tommy Bolt who was better Nicklaus or Hogan
    and the reply was "Well I've never seen Hogan watch Nicklaus practice
    but I've seen Nicklaus watch Hogan practice a number of times..."
