Jacks Last Putt at the British

In 1972 my parents took me to Muirfield to watch the British Open. I was 11 years old and had hit my 1st golf shot a month earlier on a soccer pitch beside our home . Its hard to describe the excitement i felt as i walked through the gates of The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers and witnessed my 1st of many 'Opens'.
As i made my way past the clubhouse and the grandstands by the 18th green with my father in tow i suddenly saw this great big blond haired man walking to the practise putting green, little did i know he had already won the Masters and the US Open earlier in the year and was marching confidently towads history and the illusive grand slam.
I followed him all four rounds but alas he was pipped by a stroke by Lee Trevino and the impossible slam would stay safe once again.
But since that moment 33 1/2 years ago when he almost tripped over me , he has been an incredible role model and someone i have looked upto so often, the way he handled himself on and off the course throughout his career is something others should attempt to immulate, as it is awful to watch the behavior of some very high paid athletes.
So the moment the above picture was taken i can assure you i was shedding a tear or two.
I promise you Jack Nicklaus will be missed by this fan...
