Legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus was hard at work during a recent appearance at Creighton Farms. Nicklaus began his recent visit with a two-hour tour of the Creighton Farms course, during which he assessed every aspect of its design, setup, and condition. With the same intense concentration and attention to detail that made him an 18-time major champion, Nicklaus offered suggestions on everything from mowing patterns to fairway widths and even used a special iPhone application to determine that the slope on one of the greens might benefit from a one-inch adjustment. The golf legend went over every shot on every hole and outlined several new teeing positions with an eye toward making the course more playable and enjoyable for the average player- a theme that Nicklaus spoke to again and again during his visit.
A press conference was held with Jack Nicklaus and Creighton Farms owners David Southworth and Joseph Deitch, Partners of Southworth Development of Newton Massachusetts. Mr. Nicklaus took the time to answer questions on the condition and design of the course, remarking: "this is a remarkably strong golf course. They could hold the U.S. Open here. It's a golfer's golf course for the individual who enjoys playing the game not only because it will be fair and fun, but that it will test your mettle."
