![]() Jim Flick. When the Golden Bear was preparing for his Champions Tour debut in 1990, he went to Flick for advice. Nicklaus won his first event and retained Flick as his teacher. The partnership led to the opening of the Nicklaus-Flick Golf School in 1991. Flick is a member of the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame and annually makes the short list of America’s top instructors. He also has written five books and hundreds of articles for national golf publications, continues to give lessons at La Costa Resort and Spa and serves as Carlsbad-based TaylorMade’s golf ambassador. Nicklaus, who wrote the foreword for Flick’s 1997 book, “On Golf,” said that Flick understands that not all swings are alike and that he helps people understand and love the game of golf. “His enthusiasm and commitment are infectious,” Nicklaus wrote. “When I talk to people who are repeat students at the Nicklaus-Flick Golf School, I get the feeling that they come back more just to spend time with Jim Flick than to improve their games.” OTHER HALL OF FAME PROFILES: GLEN CAMPBELL WILLIAM P.
