http://www.hispanicbusiness.com/2012/9/26/jack_nicklaus_endorses_romney.htm
Nicklaus, winner of more major golf tournaments than anyone and a son of Upper Arlington, delivered a formal endorsement of the Republican presidential nominee this morning at Westerville South High School that was at times personal and at others sprinkled with statistical, policy-driven talking points normally delivered by a more political surrogate or the candidate himself.
"I've always said the worst thing you can do on a golf course is to dwell on a bad shot, because it will affect your swing," Nicklaus said, speaking before Romney addressed approximately 1,700 in the school gymnasium and another 350 in an overflow room, according to the Romney campaign.
