437.0. "Nicklaus Back Problems" by ENGINE::WARFIELD (Gone Golfing) Wed Nov 09 1988 08:02

Jack Nicklaus, suffering from a degenerative back condition, said he will seek 
further medical advice before he decides whether he can play tournament golf 
again.  "I can't play the way I am", said Nicklaus.  "I've got to make up my 
mind what I'm going to do".  A Magnetic Resonance Imaging examination conducted 
by Dr. Bruce Waxman at St. Mary's Hospital in West Palm Beach, Fla., Monday 
confirmed a disc problem in Nicklaus' lower back.

	I am sorry to hear that Jack is having back problems it is probably the worst problem for a golfer. If this means the end to his competitive days I am glad that I got a chance to see him in person at the The Open this year. Maybe he can see the same doctor that Fuzzy Zoeller saw. After his back surgery his back was better than before his problems started! Signed anxiously waiting, Larry

	Sad news indeed. With all his outside business ventures, he won't be home twiddling his thumbs, though. If it is career ending, golf has lost one of it's greatest talents and competitors of all time. -rick
437.3	"The Golden Bear still roars!"	OURVAX::GLASS		`Tue Dec 20 1988 11:50`	7
	Well now, The Golden Bear didn't look like a man with either a bad back or plans to retire from golf as the Skins Game was in progress. He was not the big winner, but the only one not to pick up either day and finished with two 33's. It is hard to beat the Ohioians!!!!!!!
