Aww, i miss the 1980s! Jack's first drive on video was 295. He is about 45 years old here with a persimmon driver so if he was 25 and had a modern driver you could safely say that drive would have been 325...or maybe more.
This 85 Skins Game was played practically in my backyard, just 20 mins down the road from my home in Perris CA ( I'd recognize those ugly local hill's anywhere! LOL ) I did not attend & seeing the putting woe's of my Hero Jack Nicklaus, I'm glad I stayed home & watched on TV! Watson & Fuzzy are wonderful, but nothing top's seeing Jack the Bear & The King go at it 😉 Thanks for the great post, really enjoyed watching it.
stevepising, thanks for your comment.....for this was truly an awesome foresome....cuz the Fuzzman kept things light and fun.....and remember, I have much more golf already posted and coming in the future at www.imasportsphile.com
If this is before 86 masters interesting how jack says "not yet" to watson;Jack always the prophetic optimist, almost saying wait until you see me wear the green jacket again!
Amazing footage! This is from Thanksgiving weekend November of 1985. The Skins Game was such a big deal just because Vin Scully was involved in the NBC telecast. I almost didn't recognize Peter Jacobsen's voice. And who can top Bob Goalby!! I have never seen Mr Palmer doing well in a tournament. He wiped the floor with everyone on the front nine. Amazing Nicklaus footage 6 months before he won the Masters in 1986. Fuzzy with his cheeky antics and his Ping Zing putter. Watson swing was so solid. Palmer was playing his cavity back Peerless Axiom irons. I also love all of the old Toyota commercials. Makes me want to jump! By the way, what method do you use to transfer the VHS tape to the youtube quality video? Thanks.
Craig Braddick, thanks for your comment.....cuz I really appreciate when knowledgeable sports fans correct me when I am wrong....for I want to be as accurate as possible while posting 2300 hrs. of vintage sports, comedy and music videos on my webpage at www.imasportsphile.com ....cuz the truth of the matter is that I wasn't around when the events and programs that I am posting transpired.....so, I have and will continue to have some issues in correctness as I transfer each Sony BetaMax cassette to digital.....but, stay tuned....for I have only 370 hrs (1400 videos) currently posted with so much more to come.

Again thanks for posting these love the commercials

great stuff. Watson still a young man and swinging great but would never recover that putting touch that bagged him 8 majors.
