This is Jack Nicklaus' actual application to compete in the 1999 US Open. Even though he was the greatest golfer of all-time, Jack Nicklaus still had to send in an official application to compete in the US Open. Jack's address is listed as his golf club Muirfield Village in Ohio. The right side of the application required details of the applicant's finishes in local and sectional qualifying. Jack Nicklaus, of course, was exempt from this ordeal so it is handwritten "Fully Exempt S-14." That S-14 exemption is for "Special Exemptions selected by the USGA Executive Committee." 

Jack Nicklaus has beautifully signed and dated the bottom of this 1999 US Open application. Interior visible document is 8" x 10 3/4", and framed to an overall 13 1/2" x 16 1/8".
