Apropos of nothing, playing as late 70's / early 80's Jack Nicklaus, replete with long hair (no hat), plaid pants, and yellow Sunday shirt is the bomb.

Swing is still definitely not Jack, but at least it's sorta distinctive I guess. I dig the wooden driver and blade irons he wields as well. And they actually make a difference in how you play the game, too - the 5-degree wooden driver means that the modern concept of high-launch/low-spin drives is sort of out (!), and you have to rely on run-out to get distance.

I played a round at Augusta and did Verne Lundquist calls out loud to myself on any putt that was of reasonable length. I'm a huge dork.
