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.

Forget the name thing, just being Jack Nicklaus' son was enough of a cross to bear.
I had the opportunity to meet Jackie at Winged Foot, in 1984. Very personable and friendly. Definitely took after Barbara and not Jack. Never met Gary, but I'd heard he was more of a "chip off the old block".
