Jack in the Instagram post said, “Whether it’s Christmas or my birthday, like today’s 82nd, the greatest gift I could receive is watching my kids and grandkids succeed. Today, my grandson GT. Nicklaus—who picked up a guitar not long after he first picked up a golf club—is releasing for the first time a single he wrote and performed. It’s called “Intuition,” and it’s available to hear on GT’s website. As I said after GT knocked in that hole-in-one at the 2018 Masters, with all due respect to my six Green Jackets, this might be my No. 1 moment at Augusta. When things like this happen to your kids or grandkids, those are the lasting moments and most important things in your life. Well done, GT! —Jack.”
