I was going to say. Saw him at St Andrews a few years back and nowadays looks no more than 5'8".

i met him last week- i was three feet away. 5ft 7 tops, and i'm being generous. Unless he has shrunk immensely i doubt ever 5' 11. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 29/May/11
Rob what are the chances of 5ft11.75 peak?

I caddied for Nicklaus in a private event back in 1964. I am 6' tall and was a good three inches taller than Jack. But I could never hit the ball like he did!! JackieTreehorn says on 20/Feb/11
I agree with Spence...saw him in 2001 close up and was definitely under 5-9 possibly barely 5-8. Brad says on 4/Feb/11
Yes, he's shrinking. I had not seen him in 37 years and he was 2-3 inches shorter! Terrible Ted says on 1/Feb/11
In 1983 I took the day off and followed Jack Nicklaus and Seve Ballesteros during the first round of the PGA chapionship held at Riviera. I never had seen big Jack before. The second tee is flat, was standing right next to Jack, and I was shocked, Jack was small, I mean 5-9 max. Watching the Senior Skins this weekend, Tom Watson who is 5-9 looks an inch taller than Jack. Funny how we build our heros to be larger than reality. |
