Jack Grout
John Frederick "Jack" Grout (March 24, 1910 – May 13, 1989) was an American professional golfer who competed on the PGA Tour from 1931 to 1953. Though he taught many Hall of Fame players, he is best known as the 'first and only' golf teacher of Jack Nicklaus.〔Nicklaus, Jack. The Greatest Game of All. Simon And Schuster. p.60 ISBN 0-671-20215-4〕
==Early career==
Grout was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. His golf career began in 1918 as a caddie at the old Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club. In 1927, at the age of seventeen, he was named the golf professional at Edgemere Country Club in Oklahoma City. On October 30, 1929, just one day after the stock market collapsed, he was elected to membership in the PGA. Several months later in February, 1930 he and his older brother Dick moved from Oklahoma City to Fort Worth, Texas. There, the older Grout began working as the head professional at Glen Garden Country Club. It was at Glen Garden where Jack Grout, employed as his brother's assistant, became friends and playing partners with 18-year-old Byron Nelson and 17-year-old Ben Hogan. Both Nelson and Hogan were junior members of the club, and would later become two of the top players in golf history.〔Nelson, Byron. ''How I Played the Game.'' Bantam Doubleday Dell. p.26 ISBN 0-440-50637-9〕
Grout made his PGA Tour début on December 18, 1931, playing in the Pasadena Open at Brookside Park Golf Course.〔Pro-Quest Historical Newspapers. The Los Angeles Times.〕 He remained a regular member on the pro circuit until 1945. Though he had one of the finest swings in the game, he was never among the Tour's top money winners because of extreme near-sightedness as well as having a chronic back condition.
