On my office wall is a framed copy of the cover to a special commemorative issue of GOLF Magazine, circa 1988. The cover line reads, “Player of the Century: A 40-page tribute to Jack Nicklaus.” The issue was a commemoration of the one-hundredth anniversary of the opening of the first country club,St. Andrewsin Yonkers,New York, and the beginning of golf inAmerica. George Peper, the editor in chief of GOLF Magazine, chose to put Nicklaus on the cover because he felt Nicklaus was the greatest golfer of all time, a level better than Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, and other golf heroes, many of which attended a gala affair celebrating the Centennial at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
