18 Majors, 73 PGA Tour Victories, Jack Nicklaus has achieved everything a golfer could dream of. As well as great family life and a successful business. So it only fits that they dedicate a room to him at the USGA Museum. Huge thanks also go to his longtime coach Jack Grout and his wife Barbara, who was by his side throughout his career. Thanks to Max Adler and Golf Digest for this great story.

The Opening of the Jack Nicklaus Room.
Wednesday (27th May, 2015) was the official opening and dedication of the Jack Nicklaus Room at the USGA Museum in Far Hills, NJ. For the people who go to these sorts of things, the experience is always the same: You can't walk 10 feet without bumping into someone you know, or are supposed to know, wearing a blue blazer. If you know the face but not the name, you buy some time by asking if they've been playing much golf lately. And if it's 85 and humid, like it was yesterday, brace yourself for the answer.Regrettably, I spent only 15 minutes in the new room, which at 1,200 square feet is surprisingly intimate and houses just 82 artifacts. It's a lean version of the sprawling Jack Nicklaus Museum in Columbus, Ohio, which loaned items for the exhibit and will continue to rotate more. Several short videos and an interactive course-design feature pack additional layers of depth, but the impression is that the main concern of the curators was accessibility. The placards for each object are succinct and written in the first-person voice of Jack."[The USGA] did such an efficient job of not being overbearing with a big room," Nicklaus said. "They've put it tastefully in a place where it's not going to get lost, where you can see it very quickly. There are three people that come to these rooms — streakers, strollers and scholars. Streakers speed through in about an hour. Strollers spend a couple hours and get a lot of information. A scholar could spend all day, or more…I think that's what they've tried to accomplish."Someday soon, I'd like to return on at least the level of a stroller. But to offer at least a taste from my manic visit...
BEN SAYERS PUTTER USED BY JACK NICKLAUS
Easy to forget that Jack Nicklaus actually used a hickory shafted putter. With it, he holed out what he's says is the most important putt of his career. The final putt in the final match to defeat Charlie Coe in the 1959 U.S. Amateur.
