Before hip replacement surgery, Jack was in pain. “At first I was able to exercise enough to neutralize the pain so that it didn’t hurt at night. But eventually I was having trouble functioning beyond just not hurting. I couldn’t really walk around...and I couldn’t play golf. Now, my hip doesn’t hurt at all.”

Jack Nicklaus is back on the tour and credits his hip replacement surgery with helping him to regain his first love – golf.
