The Golden Bear is coming to Golf Town.

Okay, maybe Jack himself isn’t dropping by (that we are aware of), but his Jack Nicklaus Apparel line has arrived at Golf Town. There’s no name in the sport more synonymous with greatness than Jack Nicklaus—he’s the face that changed the game and against which all greats are judged. Along the way he’s been an ambassador for the sport, a designer of outstanding golf courses, and the winner of the most major championships in the game’s history.

Nicklaus’s apparel line is signified by his trademark Golden Bear logo. The logo was inspired in part by sportswriter Don Lawrence of the Australian newspaper the Melbourne Age. Asked what he thought of Nicklaus, Lawrence responded by saying he was reminded of a “big, cuddly, golden bear.” That, coupled with the fact the mascot at Nicklaus’ high school as a golden bear led to one of sport’s most famous nicknames.
