h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Entry: Jack Nicklaus - A25718457
Author: summerbayexile - Beaten paths are for Beaten men - U208939

I can't believe the great man didn't have an entry devoted to him on h2g2, but I just had to write one as a lifelong fan. I hope the title is self explanatory as, along with Pele, Ali and a few others you do not need to add anything to the name Jack Nicklaus. I'll get back to links etc in the not too distant future, but I really hope you like this as I'm quietly convinced that this is one of my better entries.

Great Entry, I really enjoyed reading it

Just two little typos:

preceeded -> preceded
unbelieveable -> unbelievable

Well done

Thanks for that h5ringer. Typos corrected.
SBE

Have now added a number of links to players and tournaments.
SBE

Done a bit of tinkering to make the paragraphs more manageable and have added a section about the end of his career. I think its well and truly ready now!
SBE

It reads much better now..

SBE would be worth mentioning that he honoured in 2005 by the Royal Bank of Scotland by appearing on a £5 note issued that year. 2 Million were issued and he was only the third living person to appear on a Scottish Bank Note following the Queen and Queen Mother.

Thanks for the extra info on the fivers DD. Hopefully it is easier to spot now that it has the extra background.

A pleasure mine now sits alongside my George Best one.

heya sbe,

A really don't like golf, but I have heard of the Bear

Great, readable Entry, enjoyed it very much.

There's a few stylistic things to look out for though.

When you have a quote from someone, you seem to miss out some punctuation (a comma or semi-comma or the like) in the text before the quote.

I think it's capital Century - as in 20th Century.

dates are written day first, then month, then year

eg: 21 January, 1989

These however are real nit-picks and aside from those a great Entry.

Hello SBE

<< I hope the title is self explanatory as, along with Pele, Ali and a few others you do not need to add anything to the name Jack Nicklaus.>>

Wearing several badges as I am, I have to advise that if you leave the title as is, the sub-ed or the Eds will add "Golfer" for the folks who haven't heard of him, it's house-style

Cheers Matt and Galaxy Babe. Fixed all the above, though you don't know how tempted I was to put 'Jack Nicklaus - Plumber' to see if anyone would notice!!
SBE

Was Jack Niklaus a plumber in his spare time then? I think you ought to mention that if he was

Well as a professional golfer he probably got a lot of plumbing done

Just kidding SBE

SBE

Your wish is my command h5ringer and Galaxy Babe!!!!!
Check the little extra info I slipped in!!!!

Super, super Entry SBE

Yes, I agree, it's perfect now
