Being out in the hot sun for four to five hours can leave you badly burned, especially in the sunbelt regions of the U.S. Use a good sunscreen with a rating of at least 45. Another problem can be blisters. Drain with a clean needle, don’t peel the excess skin away and cover with a clean bandage.

Elbow tendonitis can be very painful. Make sure you ice the elbow frequently before and even during the round, wear an elbow wrap. Back pain can red-line your game completely. You can find relief for back pain with a very hot shower and anti-inflammatory medications. Walk instead of riding, it will help loosen stiff muscles.

Jack Nicklaus was the “frumpy” kid who challenged Arnold Palmer, the beloved General and leader of “Arnie”s Army.” It took years for golf fans everywhere to adapt to Nicklaus’ stiff demeanor and style. After all, he was the giant slayer, the chubby Knight that took down Arnold Palmer, the King.

Nicklaus is now golf’s beloved elder statesman, a man that finally after all these years, showed his emotions at the conclusion of his final round at The Open.

As the song goes “thanks for all the memories,” Jack.
