Oh BO, sorry, but you reading books 40 years ago does not really put you in any better position to judge Jack's GOATness than a man with a computer and PGA Tour Stats loaded up.
Jack is a egomaniac ( lol like Tiger)
one of Jack's early books he has a tracing of his hand stating,
"this is the hand of a major champion" or some such nonsense.
in actuality he had to use an interlock as the Vardon grip wouldn't work with his stubby fat fingers.
yeah he was good. so far ahead of everyone as far as the mental side of things. Everyone else was boozing it up and whoring while Jack was plotting how to dissect the course. Plus he has a whiney irritating voice. Still he's the GOAT of his time, and he's mellowed since he quit competitive golf.
It will be interesting to see of Tiger mellows or remains a big douche-bag like his idol Jordan when he becomes irrelevant.
