The high school he went to was the Upper Arlington Golden Bears. Jack Nicklaus: ‘Well, I’ve been a Golden Bear all my life. I might as well continue to be a Golden Bear.’” “Jack made a trip to Australia, got off the plane and there was – how they used to have newspapers stacked in the airport – the headline said, ‘Golden Bear from U.S. to Arrive Today.’ Jack and Barbara have always given credit to Australian sportswriter Don Lawrence for coining the nickname.
