Moleskin: YHC had a great time putting this workout together. As a longtime fan of Jack Nicklaus, and soon to be turning 46 years old (the age of the Golden Bear back in 1986), this was a most enjoyable workout for the QIC this AM!
The yardages for the holes were those from 1986. Since the broadcast didn’t mention which club was being used on most shots, YHC assumed the club Nicklaus used on several of them. An article about this historic round told which clubs were used on a few of the pivotal shots, so the 5-iron tee shot on 16, pitching wedge approach on 17, and 3-wood off the tee on 18 are accurate.
The total reps in the workout were 300, not counting those in the COP and Mary.
YHC also peppered in some of the famous quotes uttered by the announcers over the final holes throughout the workout…
On 15: “Yes sir! The battle is joined. My goodness. There is life in the old Bear yet!” – Ben Wright
On 16: “And there’s no doubt about it… the Bear has come out of hibernation.” – Jim Nantz (This was actually Jim’s first Masters tournament at 26 years old. He proved right off the bat his ability to interject a cheesy one-liner to the broadcast).
On 17: “Maybe… Yes, SIR!“ – Verne Lundquist
T-claps to Elaine for joining the workout from over in Georgia. It was great “seeing” him this AM! It was also great having Dropped Call in the gloom after the birth of their 3rd child and transitioning from man-to-man over to the zone defense.
Final comment: This was YHC’s first time leading a virtual workout on Zoom, but it went well and proved that if AB can do it… ANYBODY can do it! With that said, step up and sign up to Q a workout for your Brothers.
Aye!
