NFL: Brees gets a Super perk � golf with Jack Nicklaus


By TIM REYNOLDS
AP Sports Writer

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. � Super Bowl champion quarterback Drew Brees is finally getting to play his first round of offseason golf.

With Jack Nicklaus, no less.
Brees is playing in a Pro-Am before the Honda Classic with Nicklaus, Dan Marino and saxophonist Kenny G � about an hour�s drive north of the stadium where he led the New Orleans Saints over the Indianapolis Colts for the Super Bowl title last month.
Brees says it�s the first time he�s played a round of golf since June, and that he�s hoping Nicklaus gives him some tips.
That might not be likely. Brees wore a Purdue cap for his round. Nicklaus is an Ohio State man.
