Golf All-Skills team
Jack Nicklaus picked his all time All-American golf team for Golf Digest this month. His only rules were the players had to be from the US, he had to pick a different player for each skill, and he couldn't pick himself for anything. I don't have the magazine in front of me so I might get one wrong, but his team was:
Driving - Ben Hogan
Fairway Woods - Hale Irwin
Long Irons - Sam Sneed
Mid Irons - Byron Nelson
Short Irons - Johnny Miller
Sand Shots - Ray Floyd
Chipping/Pitching - Tom Watson
Putting - Tiger Woods
What would the team look like if we picked current players from anywhere in the world, and you can use the same player for more than one skill?
I think Tiger is the obvious choice for long irons, chipping/pitching, and putting. If his recent play is any indication, he may be the choice for driving also.
What's your list?
