Re: Nicklaus: The younger Tour players are 'soft'
This is probably irrelevant, but this thread reminded me of a Ben Hogan story:
Quote:
Years ago, before he began his career as a television golf analyst, Gary McCord was introduced to his idol Ben Hogan while Hogan was having his customary lunch at the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas .
"Tell me, Mr. McCord , what do you do?" Hogan asked.
McCord said he was a touring pro.
Hogan nodded. "How long have you been out there?"
"Seventeen years," replied McCord .
"Seventeen years," said Hogan, startled. "I must be getting out of touch. Tell me, Mr. McCord , how many tournaments have you won?"
"None," answered McCord .
"None?" said Hogan. "What *** have you been doing out there?"
