...Nicklaus, who can outdrive Trevino by 30 yds. and win any tournament when he puts his total game together. Most colorful? Most popular? From the public, there is no argument.

A tall, angular Texan who averages 235 yds. off the tee and putts like a pool shark, Kathy contends that "the amateur male golfer can learn by watching the girls swing because his game compares with ours...
