Legendary golf instructor Jim Flick, who has coached Jack Nicklaus, Tom Lehman and standout amateur Beau Hossler, among others, passed away Monday after a bout with pancreatic cancer. He was 82.
A member of the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame, Flick has written several golf instruction books and was named the PGA Teacher of the Year in 1989. He was the longtime director of instruction at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, Ariz., before moving to Carlsbad, Calif., in 2005.
Funeral arrangements were pending. Flick is survived by his wife, Geri, and five children.
