I love a good golf story. Jack Nicklaus has won the Masters Tournament a record breaking six times. The first time being in 1963. The Masters winner is awarded the iconic Green Jacket but in Jack's case they did not have a 43R on hand for the ceremony so they used a 46L coat.
The following year member Tom Dewey's jacket, former governor of New York, was in in Jack's locker and fit perfectly. 35 years later in 1998 while Jack was having lunch with Augusta National chairman Jack Stephens and told him he did not have his own Green Jacket the chairman was stunned. He directed Nicklaus to go to the Pro Shop and be measured for his own Green Jacket.
After Jack won the last of his six Green Jackets in 1986, he was finally actually able to receive his own proper Green Jacket.
With Love,
Coach K
