JACK NICKLAUS NOW HAS A ROOM at the USGA Museum, along with four other golf legends: Bob Jones, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer and Mickey Wright. But after all his golf travels through the years and after winning all those major championships and other trophies, this impressive new Nicklaus exhibit with more than 80 artifacts and interactive displays is still just a room and certainly not a home.
Golf's geatest major champion never put golf first. That spot was always reserved for his family.
The Golden Bear's first priority was on hand at yesterday's dedication ceremony at the USGA campus in Far Hills, New Jersey: wife Barbara, who will receive the Bob Jones Award next month, sons Jackie and Gary, and others.
