Jack's Grandson: "Just he played golf for a living."
/The best college football writer in the land--Chris Dufresne of the LA Times--filed a note and a nice line about Jack Nicklaus grandson Nick O'Leary of Florida State.
O'Leary is the star tight end for the Seminoles, who are competing for the national title Monday night.
In case you've been living on Mars and hadn't heard: Florida State junior tight end Nick O'Leary is the grandson of golf great Jack Nicklaus.
"I mean, it's just like anything else," O'Leary said Friday. "Just he played golf for a living."
Yes, the same way Picasso just painted for a living.
Golf.com's Mike Walker caught a radio interview Jack gave in advance of the big game to talk FSU football. Considering Grandpa has only missed one game of his grandson's three-year career, it's not a shock to learn that the Golden Bear and Grandma Barbara will be in Pasadena for the game Monday.
Oh, and that's a forecasted high of 76 Monday. Bring a sweater Jack, it might get chilly in the second half.
