Jack Nicklaus is an icon of golf and the man who made many people fall in love with this sport. There are many who often have prejudices about golf icons, believing that most of them are actually arrogant and cold.
But that is obviously not the case.
Golf content creator Matt Scharff had the opportunity to record a video of Jack Nicklaus on his YouTube channel, and his words after the recording speak volumes about the greatness of Nicklaus.
Scharff admits that it is somewhat strange to be in the company of such a legend who marked an era of golf.
The popular creator had many topics with Nicklaus, carrying only positive emotions from this conversation.
Hes a bro! When you meet a legend like that we are all very nervous. We are just 20 year old kids, we are literally all like we should not be here. What are we actually doing here? Getting to film Jack and talking to him at lunch. Ordering what he is ordering. We talked for a long time and spent so many hours with him. He shared so many different stories, I wrote them all down in my notes so I could tell my kids about it later."- he said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.
Matt Scharff shares his impressions
The famous creator was amazed by the modesty of this golfer and his desire to play a round of golf.
Nevertheless, Nicklaus pointed out that he was sorry because they could not play at Muirfield, feeling that Jack had a great desire, and that his words carried a deep sincerity.
You would think when you meet someone like that he is going to be a certain way. When you meet someone very high up there in their craft, you expect them in your mind to be a certain way and act a certain way.."
Scharff revealed that they had plenty of topics to talk about, and Nicklaus was quite open to sharing some interesting details from his career. This kind of meeting remained deeply engraved in the memory of Scharff, who hopes to have several more opportunities for the same.
