This print shows Jack Nicklaus preparing for a golf tournament in St. Louis, Missouri, and its two images capture the pre-event practice rather than the competition itself. Nicklaus was one of the most closely watched golfers of the mid-1960s, having already won the Masters and the U.S. Open by 1965. Photographs like these, taken during practice rounds, were a staple of newspaper and magazine sports coverage, giving readers a close look at a star's routine before a tournament began. The pairing of two frames on one print is a useful reminder of how photographers worked the scene from more than one angle.
