==Early years==
Born in 1921 and raised in Bettendorf, Iowa,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sports Pudit )〕 Fleck's parents were poor farmers who had lost their land in the 1920s. He attended Davenport High School and played on its golf team. Fleck started as a caddy for a local dentist in the mid-1930s, turned professional in 1939,〔(Jack Fleck, Davenport, 1972 )〕 and worked as an assistant golf pro at the Des Moines Country Club for five dollars a week prior to World War II. He joined the military in 1942 and served in the U.S. Navy as a quartermaster; he participated in the D-Day invasion from a British rocket-firing ship off Normandy's Utah Beach. Within two weeks after his discharge from the service, Fleck was on the PGA's winter golf tour with pro friends trying to qualify for PGA Tour events.
