I would like to just state that Jack Nicklaus was not a tall man--he is like me and like many others--but he could hit the ball a hell of a long ways. It is quite an accomplishment when you see someone like him that has the rhythm, tempo, and the timing that can hit the ball. That is an inspiration to many of us that are not 6 foot and above, but are below 6 foot and can still play the game of golf because golf is open to everyone. And Jack, along with Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods, Lee Trevino and many others, has opened it for a lot of us. With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
