"My wife told me, she says, there's three kind of people that go to museums. There's streakers, and that's the people that just go right on through and they're out of there in a half hour; and then there's strollers, and they go through and spend a couple hours; and there's scholars, and they spend all day there. I'm a streaker. I go through and I'm out. I've had enough of that." -- Jack Nicklaus, who was honored with a special exhibit dedicated to his career in the World Golf Hall of Fame.
