Jack Nicklaus’ Drive Down Magnolia Lane Was Full Of Nostalgia And Starstruck Security Guards
The party can finally start: Jack Nicklaus has made it to Augusta.
It’s safe to say nobody deserves more respect at Augusta National Golf Club than the Golden Bear. When you win six green jackets like Nicklaus, including back-to-back wins in ’65 and ’66, it just comes with the territory. That’s why it’s no surprise that Jack got the rockstar treatment as he drove down Magnolia Lane yesterday.
Watch from behind the scenes what happened when I arrived to Magnolia Lane and the Masters this afternoon!

Here are a few of my favorite exchanges from the video:
Guard 1: “We know who ya are.”
Passenger: “Jack, does this ever get old?”
Jack: “What, Magnolia Lane?”
Passenger: “Yeah.”
Jack: “Umm, well, it is old.”
Jack: “You don’t need to scan that, do ya?”
Guard 2: “No sir, I sure don’t.”
Guard 3: “You go wherever you’d like, young man.”
Passenger: “Why are they so nice to ya?”
Jack: “I don’t know.”
Sure you don’t, Jack..
The GOAT.

9 years ago at 10:13 amWait, what?
9 years ago at 10:47 amI would launch a herd of midgets off the Golden Gate Bridge if it meant playing a round at Augusta National.
9 years ago at 10:04 am“Alright, Buttery, toss these suckers off the bridge and a round at Augusta is yours.”
9 years ago at 10:06 am*Takes each midget’s shin out from under them, and watches them plummet to the earth below*
9 years ago at 10:09 amDoesn’t sound like much of a sacrifice at all.
9 years ago at 10:10 amI mean from an “ethical” standpoint it is, but you’re right, I wouldn’t beat myself up for it.
9 years ago at 10:13 amWell put.
