Bob Hope: Shanks For The Memory

The World Golf Hall of Fame will feature one of golf’s greatest ambassadors in a special exhibition, “Bob Hope: Shanks for the Memory,” that will open in conjunction with the 2008 World Golf Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony this November, 2008. The announcement was made at the 2008 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic at the Classic Club in Palm Desert, Calif.

Jack Nicklaus: Golf’s Golden Champion

The World Golf Hall of Fame unveiled a special exhibit that celebrates the stories of Jack Nicklaus’ benchmark career in golf and his successful career and life off the course. Nicklaus’ indelible impact on the game of golf began at age 10, the year he first picked up a golf club and carded a 51 in the first nine holes he ever played. The special exhibit’s storyline begins with his youth and storied amateur career and extend through the greatest professional career to date, showcasing artifacts, memorabilia, photos, video and text.

“Jack Nicklaus: Golf’s Golden Champion” opened in conjunction with the 2007 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Nov. 12 and will remain on display through December 31, 2008.
