Jack the Ripper

“Yes Sir!” the announcer proclaimed as “Jack Nicklaus [threatened] to make the 46th year of his life the most memorable to date - a year when this once young, strong, heroic golfer [made] middle age a time of even bigger heroics.” (The New York Times, May 24, 1986) Jack Nicklaus had just sunk a putt in the 1986 masters for eagle on the fifteenth hole, positioning only two back of the lead.

That all changed in 1996, when a young African American prodigy erupted on the scene, changing the…

This tells us that they were basically simply there to benefit from one another. The dog wasn’t with the man to keep him company, but instead to find warmth.
