Summer Golf Reading for 2015

A recent New York Times article published in anticipation of the Memorial Tournament hosted by golfing great Jack Nicklaus notes that none of his heirs inherited his love for the game. Of his 22 grandchildren, only one, Gary Thomas Nicklaus, has tried competitive golf. Ironically the most gifted golfer of his grandchildren is Nick O’Leary, who shot a 5-over-par 77 10 years ago at age 12. But he was recently selected in the sixth round of the NFL draft by the Buffalo Bills after a four-year career as a tight end at Florida State University.
