Arriving by helicopter, Jack Nicklaus stopped by at St. Andrews this week to host two golf clinics and to chat to the local school kids about the famous Claret Jug.
RBS, the organizers of the trip, wanted the famous golfer to attend the Open this year, however Jack politely declined stating that he had “said goodbye to the game of golf” already at St. Andrews in 2005 (the venue where he won two out of his three Opens).
Nicklaus added that “I didn’t say goodbye at the Masters I said goodbye at St. Andrews”. Obviously the home of golf is a place very close to his heart and he did not want to return just for the fun of it…
But that doesn’t mean you can’t play just for fun on the world’s most famous course!
