Jack Nicklaus positions himself nicely with Millennials
There's Jack Nicklaus, FaceTime-ing and seeing Entourage. Who says grandparents can't be hip?
Jack Nicklaus has 22 grandchildren.
He doesn't act like it, though. Nicklaus conducted approximately 872 interviews at the Memorial last week and revealed that he's actually quite hip to the things Millennials are interested in.
For example, Nickalus FaceTimed with winner David Lingmerth's dad who was in Sweden at the time on vacation.
David Lingmerth's parents watched post-round press conference from Sweden via FaceTime, then got to speak with Jack Nicklaus. Pretty cool.

Before that, he'd noted that he's a big Mark Wahlberg fan (didn't see that coming) and was going to see Entourage.
“[Mark] called last week and said ‘How are we going to take this thing to the next level?’ I thought it was a nice call. I’m a big fan," Nicklaus said of a water company he and Whalberg both have ownership in.
“Sure I’m going to go see it," Nicklaus said of Entourage. "Absolutely. I like all of [Wahlberg's] movies. They’re a bit of a shoot up (laughter). But he does a great job.”
