I was there and even though these GOAT's were past their prime, it was Jack V Arnie and there was definitely still a competitive fire burning in each of them . The late 80's and the 90's was a great time in Phurst. This was only a couple years or so after both Mr Palmer and Mr Nicklaus had built 2 great additions to golf in Phurst, Pinehurst Plantation and Pinehurst National. The Deuce was a different course then but back on the radar after having hosted the 91 and 92 Tour Championship as well as the 94 Senior Open - followed 5 years later with the 99 US Open. And now this week we have the 4th US Open to be played on Course 2 in the last 25 years. I think it is safe for us to continue to say that Pinehurst is the Golf Capital of the World.

Fantastic and amazing Jack! You've always been my number one golf hero ever since I was a youngster in Florida. I saw you play a tournament there probably around the time this Pinehurst match happened. I got your autograph. I also met you with my dad when you were playing a practice round at Bink's Forest with your son caddying. I was only 9 but I'll always remember you said "What's your handicap, 3?" I didn't know what a handicap was, but was in awe of the time you took to have a picture with me. I also wrote a letter to you back then and was shocked to get a response and a signed picture of you hitting out of a bunker. Since my earliest days in golf I tried to emulate you in every aspect of the game. I watched 'Golf My Way' hundreds of times as a kid and practiced the swing in the house trying to copy every detail of your swing. It served me well. I won a lot of tournaments in Florida as a junior but tapered off after that. Those fundamentals have stuck with me though and it's astounding how much of the game goes back to the very basics. The difference between a bad shot and a great shot for me is usually proper alignment and head still and making sure my grip is sound. The golden bear still remains the greatest of all time in golf and in many other aspects of life, especially family. Well done Jack! You are an ideal example of the greatness of a western man, as is Mr. Palmer, a hero of mine right along side you 👏🤝🏻

There's a lot to love about the #2 course at Pinehurst, especially since in was so lovingly restored in 2010.

I prefer no. 8. The turtleback green as a concept gets tiring for players, and viewers, unless I'm alone in my assessment. Perhaps it provides a number of short game options, however still too gimmicky for my taste. A one trick pony if you will. Pinehurst isn't that easy on the eyes, whereas it's Pinehurst no. 8, is more aesthetically pleasing, to my eye/taste anyways.

I have a couple anecdotes I'd like to share about Mr. Palmer. I'm now retired but in the early 90's I was still working at Martin Marietta's (later Lockheed Martin) Missile Systems in Orlando as an Aerospace Engineer. Our "Main Plant" was right around the corner from BayHill, and I was starting to get serious about golf and had been taking lessons from a well known local golf coach in Orlando (Mike Keymont). I then read a Golf Digest mag article about the top 5 golf instructors in America and number 4 was Mr. Dick Tidy, the director of golf instruction and the golf school at Bay Hill. Mr. Tidy had been #2 behind Arnie at Wake Forest and a lifelong friend. Bay Hill is a private club so i didn't even know if i could get lessons from Mr. Tidy but I picked up the phone and called and next thing I know I have six lessons scheduled. Mr. Tidy was great, and he taught me to hit the Palmer Draw. One day I am hitting driver on the range and I hit a bullet...Mr. Tidy growls..."We'll Take 18 and those and pitch back to the par 3's!!!" Anyway after my driver practice Mr. tidy said okay let's go up to Mr. Palmer's office to watch your video...I went, Wait, What? We are going to Mr. Palmer's office, is he going to be there? Mr. Tidy says nonchalantly, I don't know but that's where the video recorder is. So we walk up the stairs to the 2nd floor above the clubhouse and walk in and there is Mr. Palmer at his desk. I'm a grown man with two Engineering degrees working on some of America's blackest defense programs but I felt as nervous as a school girl. Dick asks Arnie if we can borrow his desk to use the video machine/monitor and Arnie gets up and says sure. then he comes around the desk and extend his hand and says, "So how is you game coming along?" like I was some tour player...what a great man and great human being he was! My second anecdote is shorter. It was about the same time, the early nineties and the Bay Hill Invitational was in play. Arnie had said before the tourney that he wasn't happy with where his game was and was really not interested in just being out there if he wasn't competitive but he relented and said he would play. It's Friday and Arnie is playing well and has a chance to make the cut. He has drawn a huge gallery and I am one of them and I'm watching Arnie and he has a very serious look on his face (you could tell he really wanted to make the cut). He leaves the 8th green and is walking to the 9th tee and he is eyes down and working...a crowd forms around him and one poor dope blocks his path on the cart path to the 9th tee...lol, without skipping a step Arnie gives him a perfect forearm shiver with those popeye like forearms and knocks the guy right off the cart path and almost puts him on his ass...it was great to see!!! Mr. Palmer ended up missing the cut but it was nice to see him playing with the bit in his mouth for the last time in a PGA Tournament.

Wow didn't know about this one. What a classic. The magic certainly lingered in these two.
Fantastic and amazing Jack! You've always been my number one golf hero ever since I was a youngster in Florida. I saw you play a tournament there probably around the time this Pinehurst match happened. I got your autograph. I also met you with my dad when you were playing a practice round at Bink's Forest with your son caddying. I was only 9 but I'll always remember you said "What's your handicap, 3?" I didn't know what a handicap was, but was in awe of the time you took to have a picture with me. I also wrote a letter to you back then and was shocked to get a response and a signed picture of you hitting out of a bunker. Since my earliest days in golf I tried to emulate you in every aspect of the game. I watched 'Golf My Way' hundreds of times as a kid and practiced the swing in the house trying to copy every detail of your swing. It served me well. I won a lot of tournaments in Florida as a junior but tapered off after that. Those fundamentals have stuck with me though and it's astounding how much of the game goes back to the very basics. The difference between a bad shot and a great shot for me is usually proper alignment and head still and making sure my grip is sound. The golden bear still remains the greatest of all time in golf and in many other aspects of life, especially family. Well done Jack! You are an ideal example of the greatness of a western man, as is Mr. Palmer, a hero of mine right along side you 👏🤝🏻
Jack has always had that keeping par focus. That's why he took his time putting. What incredible decisive pars he's done in so many games?! Beautiful birdie at the end👍
Absolutely great! Thank you……..👍
Named my first son after my dad, my second son after Jack Nicklaus. Long live the golden age of The King and The Bear!
I wish there could have been this matchup on the Original series when both were in their prime!
The good ole boy'z, we miss u2, these days will never be forgotten. ⛳🇺🇲🗽🇺🇲⛳
These two guys should have had their own sitcom. Their personalities compliment each other well. Very classy and a great example of good sportsmanship for young people to witness.
Good to see two gentlemen respecting each other. If Rory had the first 8 holes Arnold had he would have walked off the course and deleted his Facebook account.
All in their prime. A match between Arnie,Jack, and Tiger with today's equipment .Would be something of the ages.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom
Nice comeback, Jack. Great match. Great sportsmanship.
Legends !!! This was so much fun to watch
These guys were competitive to the end !

Over here in Australia it Was Player and Thomson in the 50s /60s. Player won 7 or 8 Australian Opens and Thomson won 5 Opens with 3 in a row. American players started to come in the 70s
Love AP, such a class act
In 1994 Arnie was already 64 years old and showed it, however still played Pinehurst 2 at what 2 over. Incredible.
That was a putting clinic by the Golden Bear! Crazy that on a 6700 course, at 55, still goes round in -4....wonder what his handicap would have been in his prime (if he had one). +6, +7?
Awesome!
Jack, you did something similar at the Fred Meyer Challenge in Portland, OR one year. I've never heard or been a part of a roar that loud. Thank You.
Both of these men helped to shape my love for this game. Both are consummate gentlemen, both have left a mark on this sport that no one could ever diminish and both were ambassadors who spread this game to all corners of the globe. I feel lucky just to have played a course with Arnold's name on it and Jack will always be #1 in my books, no matter who passes him in the record books. Only Tiger gets to breathe the same rare air as these two men, and that's talking strictly about the game...
Loved Mr. Palmer but my all time favorite was Jack. A day late but Happy Birthday Mr. Nicklaus.
God bless you, Mr. Palmer. I'll always be a Five-Star General in your Army of countless admirers.
Love Bryson and thrilled he won but that last putt Rory had was tough. He played it outside left and it ripped to the right quickly
I like that Arnold is still using a persimmon driver in 1994.
True class acts. Something Tiger never had.
There's a lot to love about the #2 course at Pinehurst, especially since in was so lovingly restored in 2010. One of my favorite Donald Ross designs incorporates the "inverted saucer" or domed greens characteristic. This assures that mediocre or poor iron approaches are never inadvertently rewarded.

I prefer no. 8. The turtleback green as a concept gets tiring for players, and viewers, unless I'm alone in my assessment. Perhaps it provides a number of short game options, however still too gimmicky for my taste. A one trick pony if you will. Pinehurst isn't that easy on the eyes, whereas it's Pinehurst no. 8, is more aesthetically pleasing, to my eye/taste anyways.
Seeing these greats miss fairways and fat some shots really helps with me setting realistic expectations.
My favourites growing up was our own Peter Thomson and Sam Snead I have a set of Sams and Jacks clubs in the shed and a Thomson 5 Iron
Jack Nicklaus - the greatest!
What a gem.
Damn, Jack's putting was spectacular.
The fact that David B Fay refereed this shows you what a big deal it was
I would LOVE for them to start doing these again. The dream would be Tiger vs Phil. Those Matches between the two of them were always fantastic!
So much better than the golf “influencer” garbage on now
If these ever get remastered into clear videos, they'll be absolute beauts. Hard to watch atm, though.
Amazing how much technology has changed the game in 30 years.

What woods were these 2 using?
Let's get this going again! Pine Valley as the first course course would be awesome. Augusta National would be a cool and different perspective. But I think the crown jewel would be Cypress Point Club or Seminole... I like the threesome versions but even a foursome would be a crowd pleaser.
I really wish they wouldn’t skip shots

G.O.A.T. vs the KING !
11:41 "Oh, fuck!"
If my life was on the line within a 10 ft. putt no one I'd rather take the shot than Jack Nicklaus. 👍
Gary Player was my favorite. Gutsy underdog.
Can Jack putt, or what? Wow. The old bear was something else.
Jack should ask for money back for that shirt.
The fact that Jack said "shank" off the first tee but was still in the first cut is laughable. Id be happy as hell with that

Different lofts on irons in those days you couldn't hit an eight iron 155, it had too much loft on it plus jack hiy everything high. Seven iron today can be low as 30° forty years ago a seven might be 40. Today 160 eight irons is normal. You wouldn't believe what eight irons looked like forty years ago, looked like a pitching wedge.

Ahhhh ............ THERE IT IS.............. THE WORD............................... ENTERTAIN...................................... WHERE DID THAT GO IN SPORTS?
I have a couple anecdotes I'd like to share about Mr. Palmer. I'm now retired but in the early 90's I was still working at Martin Marietta's (later Lockheed Martin) Missile Systems in Orlando as an Aerospace Engineer. Our "Main Plant" was right around the corner from BayHill, and I was starting to get serious about golf and had been taking lessons from a well known local golf coach in Orlando (Mike Keymont). I then read a Golf Digest mag article about the top 5 golf instructors in America and number 4 was Mr. Dick Tidy, the director of golf instruction and the golf school at Bay Hill. Mr. Tidy had been #2 behind Arnie at Wake Forest and a lifelong friend. Bay Hill is a private club so i didn't even know if i could get lessons from Mr. Tidy but I picked up the phone and called and next thing I know I have six lessons scheduled. Mr. Tidy was great, and he taught me to hit the Palmer Draw. One day I am hitting driver on the range and I hit a bullet...Mr. Tidy growls..."We'll Take 18 and those and pitch back to the par 3's!!!" Anyway after my driver practice Mr. tidy said okay let's go up to Mr. Palmer's office to watch your video...I went, Wait, What? We are going to Mr. Palmer's office, is he going to be there? Mr. Tidy says nonchalantly, I don't know but that's where the video recorder is. So we walk up the stairs to the 2nd floor above the clubhouse and walk in and there is Mr. Palmer at his desk. I'm a grown man with two Engineering degrees working on some of America's blackest defense programs but I felt as nervous as a school girl. Dick asks Arnie if we can borrow his desk to use the video machine/monitor and Arnie gets up and says sure. then he comes around the desk and extend his hand and says, "So how is you game coming along?" like I was some tour player...what a great man and great human being he was! My second anecdote is shorter. It was about the same time, the early nineties and the Bay Hill Invitational was in play. Arnie had said before the tourney that he wasn't happy with where his game was and was really not interested in just being out there if he wasn't competitive but he relented and said he would play. It's Friday and Arnie is playing well and has a chance to make the cut. He has drawn a huge gallery and I am one of them and I'm watching Arnie and he has a very serious look on his face (you could tell he really wanted to make the cut). He leaves the 8th green and is walking to the 9th tee and he is eyes down and working...a crowd forms around him and one poor dope blocks his path on the cart path to the 9th tee...lol, without skipping a step Arnie gives him a perfect forearm shiver with those popeye like forearms and knocks the guy right off the cart path and almost puts him on his ass...it was great to see!!! Mr. Palmer ended up missing the cut but it was nice to see him playing with the bit in his mouth for the last time in a PGA Tournament.

Boring to read.
This is what golf was all about. Normally a driver and long irons or woods for the 2nd shot on par 4s. Not driver then wedges like today. Required real skill and extreme precision on ballstriking!
jack was the greatest putter of all time.
That freaking intro. Sports broadcasters really suck nowadays.
There’s so much to learn from this gem; yes, technology matters, but hard work and talent matters most.

@adrian tunei Speaking of technology, i noticed that Arnold Palmer was using a persimmon driver while Jack Nicklaus drove with a metal driver. Despite being 11 years older, Arnold Palmer was still an awesome driver of the ball.
-4 on that course is pretty dang salty.
Pinehurst doesn’t look like this anymore. Lots of sand and native grass on the sides of the fairways.
Persimmon vs Metal, too.
such a better time in America. Loved watching these legends thru the years. You can't top "The King" and "The Golden Bear."
