I read somewhere, that when Jack had trouble going really low as a junior, his dad sent him out on the ladies tees to overcome this mental barrier.

Can you imagine that picture? The bear cub smashing the crap out of Scioto from the red tees. I imagine him with his putter raised in the air with his left arm. A young Silver Fox on the bag, a little green McGregor bag. Playing through groups of Ladies 9'ers maybe.

Here is a picture of him as a junior. (A tad off plane, although he recovered nicely from this to say the least.)

I was fortunate to have started my professional career at Scioto C.C. and got to know many of Jack's high school and college buddies. In the three years I was there I heard so many stories about him and how long he was it was frightening. Even as a junior player he hit forever. It really would have been interesting to see him at a young age with "modern equipment".
