Got to be tough being Tiger Wood's son. You would certainly feel the pressure to perform. Many years ago I went to my local public course in CT one Sunday afternoon to play 9 holes. I was told to join the 3 players on the tee. The tall blonde guy was Jack Nicklaus II, who was there to see if he could qualify for the Nike (perhaps Hogan?) tour event at Yale that week. At his age (29 at the time) he said that his dad already had won about 6 majors. He was trying to see if he could compete on a pro level. So I got the unusual opportunity to play 9 holes with Jackie that afternoon. The following day he went out, shot 83, and went home. Tough name to carry on your shoulders, but his brother Gary did have some minor success on the pro tour.
