"No holes from Royal St George?"
Paul Jones -
While Nicklaus does mention #4 at Sandwich, he is on record as stating that Sandwich/Royal St. George is one of his least favorite courses in the Open rota.
In fact, legend (and it could be total b.s.) has it that, the year Nicklaus turned 65, the Open was originally scheduled to be played at Royal St. Georges. This was the final year of Nicklaus' exemption as a past champion and likely the last year he would appear in an Open. Nicklaus made it known he would probably not come over to play in the event if it was held at Royal St. Georges, since he did not like the course. Because of this, the R&A decided to hold the Open that year at St. Andrews, to make sure Nicklaus would show up for his Open farewell.
