WAILEA, Maui – It is a golf fan’s dream,
the opportunity to see what kind of magic Jack
Nicklaus and Tom Watson can create when
paired together on a golf course. Or the chance to see what would
happen when Gary Player and Hale
Irwin put their considerable golfing intellect to a
similar purpose against the charismatic duo of Arnold
Palmer and Peter Jacobsen and the
talented and dangerous tandem of Raymond Floyd and
Dana Quigley.
