Is there any doubt that he was one of the game's great players?
I am probably the biggest lee buck fan on the forum. You can check my posts on that. But the question is WHY didn't he play? Jack wasn't even close to lee buck with hitting wedges.....that is because his action was different. But Jack could launch it high. I think lee was a better ball striker no question but Jack could do some things lee would have a difficult time doing with his action.

A recent example is zach Johnson .... Great player but action not conducive to launching it
