Welcome to the Jack Nicklaus Museum Virtual Walkabout at My Quality Time

GOLF..GOLF..GOLF..GOLF..GOLF..GOLF..GOLF..GOLF..

On a cold blustery March day I had the opportunity to spend a couple hours touring the Jack Nicklaus Museum located in the heart of The Ohio State University sports complex in Jack's hometown of Columbus, Ohio.

The museum is a 24,000 square-foot educational and historical facility.

2355 Olentangy River Road Columbus, Ohio 43210

This statue was commissioned by Golf Magazine to honor Jack Nicklaus as golfer of the century, 1888—1988……

and the tour begins.With The Legends of Golf….

Nicklaus was born in the Columbus, Ohio , the son of pharmacist Charlie Nicklaus (who ran several sites named Nicklaus Drug Store) and his wife Helen.. Jack Nicklaus is a “family man” whether as a son,husband,or father.

There are video screens in many of the “rooms” of the museum. This is a screen shot from one of them.

DEDICATION

“My ability to concentrate and work toward that goal has been my greatest asset.” J.N.

“Through the years of experience I have found that air offers less resistance than dirt.” J.N.

“Concentration is a fine antidote to anxiety.” J.N.

“A kid grows up a lot faster on the golf course. Golf teaches you how to behave.” J.N.

Unlike the other major championships, the Masters is held each year at the same location, Augusta National Golf Club

“I'm a firm believer that in the theory that people only do their best at things they truly enjoy. It is difficult to excel at something you don't enjoy.” J.N…. I really like this quote…..

The PGA Championship (sometimes, especially outside of the United States referred to as the U.S. PGA Championship or U.S. PGA) is an annual golf tournament conducted by the Professional Golfers Association of America. It is one of the four major championships in professional golf.

“The game is meant to be fun.” J.N. and most golfers…

F.Y.I.:: The U.S. Open scheduled so, if there are no weather delays, the final round is played on the third Sunday of June, which is Father's Day.

“Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game's two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.” J.N

“Some places it could have been worse. Some places it could have been better. Tomorrow is another day.” J.N.

Golf course design:: Nicklaus is in partnership with his four sons and his son-in-law through their company, Nicklaus Design. The company had 299 courses open for play at the end of 2005, which was nearly 1% of all the courses in the world .. WIKI

The tour of the museum ends with an 18 minute presentation in the theater (narrated by Sean Connery). I found the presentation enjoyable as I did the other presentations in the different rooms.

Three screens all with a different image…

Concentration & Determination

Now we end our walkabout back where we started

"The Golden Bear" Jack was raised in Upper Arlington, and attended Upper Arlington High School, whose nickname and mascot are called the Golden Bears.

..Thanks for stopping by..This may be the longest post I’ve done, but as many of you know I really enjoy golf. See most recent golf post from Ocean Isle.. I also like visiting museums and I’m about two or three posts behind in that area depending on how you count.LOL… If you enjoyed the post or are a golfer go ahead and

or leave a comment….

Funny Monday in the Shower & Sarah toooo

Funny Monday is back by not so popular demand. Thanks internet

DO NOT wash your hair in the shower!!
It's so good to finally get a health warning that is useful!!! IT INVOLVES THE SHAMPOO WHEN IT RUNS DOWN YOUR BODY WHEN YOU SHOWER WITH IT. WARNING TO US ALL!!!
Shampoo Warning! I don't know WHY I didn't figure this out sooner! I use shampoo in the shower! When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body, and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning, "FOR EXTRA BODY AND VOLUME."No wonder I have been gaining weight! Well! I got rid of that shampoo and I am going to start showering with Dawn Dishwashing Soap. It's label reads, "DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE."Problem solved! If I don't answer the phone, I'll be in the shower…

Now the main event “Sarah Palin Making Jokes”…. Sarah Palin - Big Gulp CPAC 2013

Have a great day and I hope to se ya on the road…
