THANK YOU! Its been 42 years since I watched this live and it was just as enjoyable this time around. Jack Nicklaus, the "GOAT"☝ that all others should be measured against, with his athletic ability, his calmness under pressure, his course strategy, his sportsmanship, and most of all, his determination to be the best of all time...
At 3:19:28 we see that Jack's caddie didn't waste any time cracking open a beer right after they won. Caddies openly drinking beers at the US Open, and the winners share was 55k. 1980 was a glorious time. People who didn't live during those days forget that top athlete's, corporate executives and CEO's, celebrities, and others, while they made more money than most folks, they didn't make a LOT of money more than most folks. Because back then, money had actual value, so a person could make 20K a year and live fairly well with a home, a car, and even a small family. And if a big shot made 120k a year, you didn't feel all that distant from him, you were even happy for him and his/her success. Nowadays, with money so worthless, and sports stars, celebrities and corporate executives making $15 million a year while a person making 60k has to struggle just to get by, it's made us a very fractured society, and that can never sustain itself. And if you live in a bigger city or suburb nearby, making 60k means you either need to find someway to make twice that, move to a smaller more rural town, or live in a tent under a bridge.
Great comment. You have to remember that our country was still ok with white men thriving back then, instead of rigging every system and institution to destroy us, as it does today.
That's a lot to interpret from a guy opening a beer on a hot summer day but I agree whole heartedly with your observations of the contrast between then and now. The saddest part might be that those people under age 45-50 have no idea the world you describe ever existed. The pre smartphone/internet world was a much simpler time and I'm afraid were heading for a crash as a society. A return to God and Judea/Christian values is the only way out of the mess we're in.
Watched the last round. Jack had a few miscues With his driver in the front nine, but made the adjustments to correct and he hit every fairway and every green in regulation on the back nine. Smartest player ever in professional golf.
This brings up such great memories. I started golfing at age 11 a few weeks earlier and this was the first tournament I watched. I became a Nicklaus fan and always admired how he carried himself on and off the course. I still remember the last putt on 18 as if it was yesterday.
1980 was a great year for me. I was in college and had only been playing golf for a year or so. School had just let out and I was working a summer job. I watched this on my little 10 inch black and white tv in my studio apartment in Eugene Oregon. Good times.
This was smack in the middle of a great period for pro golf. The late '70's through mid 80's were fantastic to watch. So many great players active and playing great golf.
Conrad Nagel, 1980, a memorable year in sport: 1. Nicklaus winning the 1980 US Open and PGA Championship at age 40 2. Genuine Risk, a filly, winning the 106th Kentucky Derby 3. 2 memorable fights between Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard 4. Our Olympic Hockey team "Do You Believe In Miracles? Yes." 5. 2 memorable Bjorn Borg-John McEnroe men's tennis finals at Wimbledon and US Open.
Living in the UK, we only had this reported through newspapers, satellite TV didn't arrive for a long time. The soft focus from those days gave anything from the usa an other world feel about. I'll always remember watching wrestlemania 6 live, amazing. Sometimes HD TV isn't needed.
Jack had that elusive little thing called, "It." for decades. I started playing in '70. The 70 and 80's were a great time to grow-up in golf. Hats off to Aoki with his indomitable spirit. I can't recall another time 2 players in a major played together AND led the tournament all 4 days.
yeah it was very recognizable but when you think about it an odd choice - life was a lot simpler then I remember this round so well I was working at a golf course and we got rained out that day a friend and I sat back and watched this final round all day uninterrupted
It really is amazing how much golf has changed, and yet how much it has stayed the same. They hit it so much further now, but conduct themselves with so much less class than they used to. At 40 years old, Jack was the grand old man of golf. 40 years old is just past peak today, as players are in so much better shape. But the winning scores haven’t really gotten that much lower, and there is usually a dramatic finish. The biggest difference of course is the prize money. The purses are 50 times bigger than they used to be. That really is a credit to Tiger.
Thanks for posting this video; brings back great memories. The one thing i'll never forget about this, involved Seve. He, unfortunately, got stuck in traffic on the way to the course, early in the tournament, and by the time he got to the first tee to hit, and catch up , the group ahead had already hit their second shots, and he was disqualified, heard leaving the course , cursing in Spanish; that was something.
Later that same year Keith Fergus and Lon Hinkle came over to Walton Heath for the European Open. I lived s short cycle of away and got a 4-day pass for my birthday. What a thrill. Doug Sanders was there, and the tournament was won by Tom Kite by a shot from Hinkle and Leonard Thompson.
Can you upload the the final round of the 1980 PGA Championship, also won by Jack Nicklaus? Can you also upload the final round of the 1983 PGA Championship, which Jack Nicklaus finished second by a shot?
Just don't upload the last two holes of the '82 Open at Pebble, when Watson broke my heart, and chipped in & birdied the last two holes, to cost Jack a 5th Open Win
Right! He won a career grand slam after age 38. Amazing…I’m going to look up who else might have done it or come close. Only Hogan comes immediately to mind.
Interesting to think about if Tiger was able to swing his swing his whole career like Jack, how many majors would he have won? Remarkable how Jack always looked the same.
Besides Jack not tinkering too much, all his exercise and working out came from just playing golf. He was in excellent "golf shape" despite being overweight in beginning of his career. Tiger started doing crazy stuff like military training overly working out his body which already had a small frame to begin with. Tiger's legs are also infamously skinnier and weaker than Jack's and he should have just had the look he had from 1997 to 2001 before he went crazy in the gym.
I love Tiger. I think his 2000 swing was the best the game has ever seen. But in hindsight, he should have stuck wuth Butch Harmon-who helped to build it. One of the game's greatest teachers.
my favorite bit is the part from 29:45 to 30:26 where it goes "it's a bit disconcerting when a player like that" and then hard cuts to static. that's some good horror movie aesthetic right there.
1980. 2 majors for the golden bear nicklaus number one for total driving in 1980 ie length of tee and accuracy off tee.not been approached by anyone since.also jack number one for greens in regulation that year
can you please upload the final round and Strange vs. Faldo 18-hole playoff round of the 1988 US Open, the 1988 US Open Preview and Jack Nicklaus 18 Great Holes of Major Championship Golf.
Interestingly, in the first part of the coverage when Peter Allis is introducing the final days play he says 'can Jack Nicklaus win his 18th major' (aged 40). Obviously at that time Allis believed that Jack's 2 US Amateurs were also so called 'majors'. It was around this time, 1980, that the 4 championships were enshrined as the 4 majors and most of the best golfers on earth would contest both the PGA championship and The Open championship. Quite clearly, even in 1980 the US Open was still referred to by many as 'the Open' and the British Open was not yet firmly known as THE OPEN. By 2022, when this was written, the 4 majors are The Open, US Open, PGA Championship & The Masters. This makes you wonder though about the players like Walter Hagen, Raymond Floyd, Byron Nelson, Bobby Locke, Jim Barnes, Peter Thomson & Tommy Armour who all could have won all 4 of the majors but they were not officially majors in their era. Of those great golfers who could and should join Nicklaus, Woods, Player, Sarazen and Hogan as 'grand slam champions', Walter Hagen has the strongest case, surely he would have won the Masters a few times in his prime, afterall he won 5 Western opens and also did beat Bobby Jones on occasions. Byron Nelson only played The Open once in 1937 at Carnoustie Scotland (5) where he was beaten by 6 shots by Sir Henry Cotton another great golfer (like Bobby Locke and Peter Thomson) who rarely played in the USA. The 1980 US Open was a great contest, Isao Aoki played beautifully too and how good did the golden bear look on that Sunday. #jacknicklaus
@@dash_r_media Yes, I am aware of this history and my comment was indicative of that I hope. Whether someone wants to argue if it is the British Open of The Open is irrelevant to me and I think the historians (and public) are slowly all agreeing on The Open Championship for an event that was once frequently referred to as the British Open. Myself, I usually refer to it as the British Open.
@@drrob1963 Often a contentious discussion, sadly. I'd agree that it is most definitely after WW2 at some stage. I think most people who love the history of golf would tend to agree that because Bobby Locke and Peter Thomson never played the US PGA and not once did they play it, that the US PGA can only really considered to be deemed a 'major' by everyone at some point after 1965 when a European star like Seve Ballesteros simply had to play it. Seve did not play the US PGA the first 6 years of his professional career, for example. The fact Bobby Locke or Thomson never played the USPGA and not once, shows that it was not that lofty a goal for them in the 1940s, 50s or 60s.
Yes - its complicated, because the Majors concept developed over time. I feel Ben Hogan's record, particularly his 1953 season, followed by Arnie's mission to emulate his record, joined then by Nicklaus & Player, and combined with the writings of golf journalists such as Bob Drum, H.W.Wind & later Dan Jenkins in the late 50's - early 60's, came to popularise this idea of the four biggest golf events - the Majors. The rise of TV and modern air travel also played a central role! I cannot put a single date on it, but saying it really started following WWII makes sense to me.
My dad took me as well on that Saturday! Followed Arnie for 18 in the morning and then Jack and Aoki for 18 in the afternoon. I remember Arnie still drove the ball beautifully, but he didn't have the height on his irons that Nicklaus did and couldn't buy a putt.
Just wild that as late as 1980 many people were still counting US Amateur championships as majors. Wonderful titles, but post-1930 not even close to a major.
There is often comparison made between Jack's game and Tiger's game. Tell me just how many golf courses increased their length because of the Jack Factor. Comparison between the games of different eras is just ridiculous. Golf scores are made in the moment against the opponents of the moment. I seriously doubt either Jack or Tiger ever gave a moments thought to establishing records, any more than any golfer does. The only focus that works is one shot at a time. That is what I like about golf. I am beginning to realize that golf commentators, golf pundits and golf reporters are a scourge on humanity.
You are looking at Jack in 1980. When, he came on tour in 1962, he literally shrunk golf courses. Won a long drive contest at the 1963 PGA with a drive of 341 yards. The Masters Jack proofed their course around 1968.
I've been playing since I was a kid. You have no idea how much easier -and longer- the ball and equipment have made today's game vs 1980. Plus they shave the fairways even more today. Hit a Titleist balata ball with a persimmon driver and you'll see what I mean.
Jack win them all! & for the life of me back then & to this day could not understand why Tom couldn't lol...mindframe is everything in golf period! & Jack had Eh Steel Trap with Persimmons to boot 👢 🤔 lol...it was fun watching Aoki try...
2:33:01 Jack has to bend over almost to the ground again and again just get a sip of water from these small azz cone cups that everybody hates and they put the coolers all the way on the ground. Shows how much thought was put into it...NONE
THANK YOU! Its been 42 years since I watched this live and it was just as enjoyable this time around.
Jack Nicklaus, the "GOAT"☝ that all others should be measured against, with his athletic ability, his calmness under pressure, his course strategy, his sportsmanship, and most of all, his determination to be the best of all time...

Very well said
Great comment. You have to remember that our country was still ok with white men thriving back then, instead of rigging every system and institution to destroy us, as it does today.
The combination of wealth inequality and the evil of the internet/social media has doomed society. Everything was much more simple back then.
That's a lot to interpret from a guy opening a beer on a hot summer day but I agree whole heartedly with your observations of the contrast between then and now. The saddest part might be that those people under age 45-50 have no idea the world you describe ever existed.

Jack was just great that day; remember it well and hard to believe this was 40 years ago
All of ABC's golf telecasts in that era opened with Love's Theme, the great proto-disco anthem. No matter who won or lost, Barry White got paid.

It was also played quite a bit on a Saturday night harness racing show that I used to watch on WOR New York.
