Jack Nicklaus is one of the most well known faces of the golf world, and he is currently scheduled to “visit the 19th hole” with local fans this fall as the West Michigan Sports Commission hosts An Evening with Jack Nicklaus.

Currently scheduled for Monday, Sept. 28, from 5-9 p.m., at the DeVos Place Convention Center’s Steelcase Ballroom, the West Michigan Sports Commission will allow the attendees to not only get to meet Nicklaus “but listen to the great stories of his life, as well as participate in a charity auction,” according to supplied material.

The proceeds of the auction will go to the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, American Dunes, and the West Michigan Sports Commission.

With over six decades of professional golf experience, and seemingly countless tournament and championship wins, Nicklaus is one of the greatest golfers to ever live. Not only is he a great golfer, he is also a philanthropist, good-will ambassador as well as an incredibly charitable person, according to supplied material. Nicklaus is involved in numerous children’s hospitals as well as creating several scholarship foundations.
