...less likely prospect: Bruce Crampton, 29, a stocky, stoical Aussie who has played in practically every tournament since he joined the U.S. pro circuit in 1957, and whose 1965 winnings, going into last week's Crosby, totaled exactly $0. But Crampton was taking lessons. And from whom? Jack Nicklaus. "Jack noticed that I was hooding my drives," said Crampton. "He adjusted my grip at the top, and that forced me to open my clubface at impact. Then he stood there and watched me hit for 45 minutes. I am grateful that a man of his stature should take...
...whole thing when he showed up at Los Angeles' 6,840-yd. Rancho Park course to defend his title last week. "The odds against a repeat victory must be 1,000 to 1," he told reporters. Actually, they were nowhere near that bad: 15 to 1. Jack Nicklaus, 1964's top money winner (at $113,284) was sitting this one out. Of course, that still left Ken Venturi, Billy Casper, Tony Lema-and Arnold Palmer, who shot a 66 in practice and happily allowed as how he was playing "pretty good, I guess." The odds on Arnie...
...network prime time-nine hours in all-than any other producer. The Munsters, The Bob Hope Chrysler Theater, and The Virginian are all in the top 20. NBC will on Jan. 30 add another MCA show called Big Three Golf, a weekly continuing match between Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player. MCA also presents Jack Benny, Alfred Hitchcock, Wagon Train, The Kraft Suspense Theater, Broadside, 90 Bristol Court and McHale's Navy. At least 22 TV programs are now being shot on the Universal lot. Nor has all this activity crowded out the company's commitments...
...sportswriters, it came up with a 1964 All-America Golf Team. It was a little tricky, because golf-man v. himself-is hardly a team sport. But that was solved by rooting through the golfer's bag and picking players for their proficiency with specific clubs. Jack Nicklaus thereby became Driver of the Year-a masterpiece of circumlocution, considering that he was good enough with all the clubs to win $1 13,284 this year...
Which brought the official P.G.A. totals for 41 tournaments to $113,284.50 for Nicklaus, $113,203.37 for Palmer.-Yet for Nicklaus, playing his third season as a pro, 1964 was full of disappointments. True, he won four tournaments. But he failed to win a major championship, though he finished second three times-to Palmer in the Masters, to Lema in the British Ooen to Nichols in the P.G.A...
