'''Carlingford''' (Postcode 2118, S33.777 E151.048) is a [[suburb]] located approximately 22&nbsp;km north-west of central [[Sydney]], [[Australia]], covering an area of 7.9 square kilometres on the south-eastern outskirts of the [[Hills District]]. It is one of the busier suburbs within the Hills with many businesses available in the large town centre. To the east lies [[Epping, New South Wales|Epping]]; to the north lie [[Beecroft, New South Wales|Beecroft]], [[North Rocks, New South Wales|North Rocks]] and [[West Pennant Hills, New South Wales|West Pennant Hills]]; to the west [[North Parramatta, New South Wales|North Parramatta]] and to the south [[Oatlands, New South Wales|Oatlands]] and [[Telopea, New South Wales|Telopea]].
''This article refers to the golfer for the actor of a similar name see [[Jack Nicholson]]''<br>
<br>
'''Jack William Nicklaus''' (born [[January 21]], [[1940]]), also known as "The Golden Bear", was a major force in professional [[golf]], first on the [[PGA Tour]] from the 1960s to the mid-to-late 1980s, then on the [[Champions Tour]] from the late 1980s to the 1990s. Nicklaus is widely regarded as the greatest golfer of all time.
 
==History and urban character==
Together with [[Arnold Palmer]], he is credited with turning golf into the major [[spectator sport]] it has become. While Palmer brought golf into the television era, it was the developing Nicklaus-Palmer rivalry that drove subsequent interest.
{{unreferencedsect}}
Originally, the area of Carlingford was called [[Mobbs Hill, New South Wales|Mobbs Hill]], named after the ex-convict settler William Mobbs, who is credited for bringing [[orange (fruit)|orange]]s to Australia. Carlingford received its current name after a vote in 1886 by the residents. The name was suggested by Frederick Cox after he heard one of his employees describe similarities between Mobbs Hill and the town of [[Carlingford, County Louth|Carlingford]], located in the east of [[Ireland]]. Carlingford was also probably named in honour of [[Chichester Parkinson-Fortescue, 1st Baron Carlingford|The Lord Carlingford]].
 
The area was settled in the mid-[[1800]]s and, at the time, was an [[agriculture|agricultural]] area on the outskirts of Sydney. Like much of the Hills District, Carlingford was a significant orange-growing area for the city. [[Pennant Hills Road]], then a major arterial road from Parramatta to the northern suburbs, was a major route of transportation for agricultural produce from the area. When the train line which terminates at [[Carlingford railway station, Sydney|Carlingford Railway Station]] was completed in 1896, it, too, became a major route for the area. Carlingford Produce, a gardening and agricultural-materials seller located next to the train station, is located in the former train workshops. This store, much like James Ruse Agricultural High School (see below) remain as testaments to the agricultural history of the suburb.
==Career highlights==
Nicklaus was born in [[Columbus, Ohio]]. He was raised and attended public schools in the suburb of [[Upper Arlington]]. Overcoming a mild case of polio as a child, he took up golf at the age of ten, shooting 51 for his first nine holes. At 13, he broke 70. He won the first of six [[Ohio]] State Junior titles at the age of twelve. While attending [[Ohio State University]], he won the [[U.S. Amateur]] title twice (1959, 1961), and an [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] Championship (1961). At the [[1960]] [[U.S. Open (golf)|U.S. Open]], he shot a 282, finishing second by two strokes to Arnold Palmer, who won the tournament with a final round 65.
 
In April [[1923]] the [[Wesley Mission|Wesley Central Mission]] established the Dalmar Children's Homes on fifteen acres of land near Marsden Road in the eastern end of the suburb. The property eventually had many cottages, together with a hospital, an orchard and vegetable gardens. The land is now the site of the Alan Walker Retirement Village.
Nicklaus began his professional career in 1962, and his record of eighteen wins in [[men's major golf championships|major]] tournaments (three [[The Open Championship|British Open Championship]]s, four [[United States Open (golf)|U.S. Open]]s, five [[PGA Championship]]s, and six [[The Masters Tournament|Masters]]) is as yet unmatched. He is one of only five golfers to win all four current majors in a career (the "Career Grand Slam"), the first of only two (the other being [[Tiger Woods]]) to have won all four majors more than once, and the only golfer to win all four majors at least three times. At the age of 46 in 1986, he became the oldest player to ever win The Masters. In all, Nicklaus racked up 46 top-3 finishes in majors (including 19 second-place finishes and nine third-places), 56 top-5 finishes, and 73 top-10 finishes.
 
As Sydney rapidly expanded, following [[World War II]], Carlingford underwent rapid [[urbanisation]] starting in the late [[1960]]s. The presence of James Ruse Agricultural High School, established in [[1959]], is a testament to the agricultural history of Carlingford as well as the rapid pace of urbanisation; which soon made the school, and its large farm, somewhat of an anomaly amongst the 1970s- and 1980s-style houses which dominate the suburb. More recently, in the [[1990]]s, the government policy of [[urban consolidation]] has seen the development of high-density units and [[apartment block]]s around the town centre and the train station. There have also been redevelopments of older houses into medium-density [[Rowhouse|townhouse]]s, and [[Semi-detached|duplex housing]].
Nicklaus's six wins at the Masters came in 1963, 1965, 1966, 1972, 1975 and 1986. Not only is his win tally a record, but he also finished as runner-up a record four times. In the decade of the 1970s, Nicklaus finished in the top ten at Augusta every year. Over his career, he appeared in the event 45 times and made the cut 37 times. In 1998, at the age of 58, he finished an impressive sixth.
 
In 1961, the [[HMS K13|K13]] memorial was unveiled, and stands as a prominent feature in Carlingford, passed by thousands of motorists along [[Pennant Hills Road]] each day.
Nicklaus won the U.S. Open in 1962, 1967, 1972 and 1980, and is tied with [[Ben Hogan]], [[Bobby Jones (golfer)|Bobby Jones]], and [[Willie Anderson (golfer)|Willie Anderson]] for most wins. He is the only player to win the title in three different decades, and also had four runner-up finishes in his 42 appearances. He made the cut 35 times.
 
==Population statistics==
Nicklaus won the Open Championship (British Open) in 1966, 1970, 1978, and was runner-up seven times. He made the cut in 32 out of 38 appearances, and from 1966 to 1980 he never finished worse than sixth. So revered is Nicklaus in the [[United Kingdom]] for his British Open exploits that in July 2005, the [[Royal Bank of Scotland]] announced that Nicklaus's image would be printed on a special issue of two million £5 notes. <!---Not true I am holding one featuring LORD ILAY--->
[[Australian Bureau of Statistics]] data from the 2001 [[census]] records the population of Carlingford as 19,678 residents, with a gender mix of 49% males and 51% females in line with the rest of the Australian population. (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2002)
 
==Commerce==
His five wins at the PGA Championship came in 1963, 1971, 1973, 1975 and 1980. He is tied with [[Walter Hagen]] for most wins. He made the cut 27 times in 37 finishes and was runner-up four times. His 1971 victory made him the first player to win the career Grand Slam twice, an achievement which was matched by [[Tiger Woods]] at the 2005 British Open.
[[Image:Carlingford carlocourt.jpg|thumb|300px|Carlingford Court Shopping Centre.]]
Carlingford has two [[shopping centre]]s - Carlingford Court, which underwent major reconstruction in the late [[1990]]s, and Carlingford Village. Carlingford Court is a typical suburban shopping centre, and is home to major businesses such as Target and Fitness First. Carlingford Village is a smaller shopping complex, which has many Asian food outlets and tends to appeal more to the Chinese community. {{fact}}
 
The Carlingford town centre, located on [[Pennant Hills Road]], also comprises a number of street shops. The centre recently underwent minor redevelopment, including the relocation of Target to the old second floor [[Myer]] store which closed on the March 31, 2006.
Several of Nicklaus's epic defeats in major tournaments helped established the greatness of other players in the public's mind. Nicklaus suffered excruciating losses to, among others, [[Tom Watson (golfer)|Tom Watson]] and [[Lee Trevino]] that both raised the stature of those outstanding players and made Nicklaus a more sympathetic character (in contrast to Tiger Woods, who has won nearly every major in which he has ever led).
 
There are also several shopping strips elsewhere in Carlingford - near Carlingford station, including the only [[pub]] in Carlingford (Carlingford Bowling Club).
Nicklaus also won the prestigious [[The PLAYERS Championship|PLAYERS Championship]] three times (though never at the [[TPC at Sawgrass]], the current PLAYERS site and a course whose setup he harshly criticized, likening some of its approach shots to "stopping a 5-iron on the hood of a car"). He won various events around the globe as well, including six [[Australian Open (golf)|Australian Open]]s (1964, 1968, 1971, 1975, 1976 and 1978).
 
==Politics==
He is second to [[Sam Snead]] on the all-time list of players with [[Golfers with most PGA Tour wins|most PGA Tour wins]], having accumulated seventy-three titles. In seventeen consecutive seasons from 1962 to 1978 he always won at least one PGA Tour title and always finished in the top ten on the money list. He topped the PGA Tour money list eight times: 1964, 1965, 1967, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, and 1976. He play on six [[Ryder Cup]] teams: 1969, 1971, 1973, 1975, 1977, and 1981 and captained the team in 1983 and 1987.
Carlingford falls under the jurisdiction of several Local Government Areas: the [[City of Parramatta]] in the south, [[Hornsby Shire]] in the north-east, and [[Baulkham Hills Shire]] in the north-west. Similarly it falls under several [[Australia|Commonwealth]] ([[Division of Berowra|Berowra]], [[Division of Bennelong|Bennelong]], [[Division of Mitchell|Mitchell]], [[Division of Parramatta|Parramatta]]) and [[New South Wales|State]] ([[Electoral district of Epping|Epping]], [[Electoral district of Baulkham Hills|Baulkham Hills]], [[Electoral district of Parramatta|Parramatta]], [[Electoral district of The Hills|The Hills]]) electoral divisions/districts.
 
The population of Carlingford, as with the rest of northern Sydney is relatively affluent. [[Baulkham Hills Shire]] and [[Hornsby Shire]] councils generally have a majority of conservative councillors. Most of the electoral divisions that Carlingford lies within have historically been held by the [[Liberal Party of Australia]]. The exception is Parramatta City Council, and the electoral division and district of Parramatta which include sections of southern Sydney and tend to be marginal seats.
In 1996, Nicklaus was the first person in the history of the [[PGA]] to win the same Senior PGA Tour (now the [[Champions Tour]]) event four times. He is the only person in the history of the PGA to win all of the major championships on both the [[PGA TOUR]] and Champions Tour. (Although he never won the [[Senior British Open Championship|Senior British Open]], it was not recognized as a major in the United States until 2003, after he had stopped playing the Champions Tour.) He never played a full schedule on the Champions Tour, but he won ten Champions Tour events, including eight [[senior major golf championships|majors]].
 
The Commonwealth Electoral Divisions of [[Division of Berowra|Berowra]], currently held by The Hon. The [[Attorney-General]] [[Philip Ruddock]] MP, and [[Division of Mitchell|Mitchell]], currently held by The Hon. [[Alan Cadman]] MP; are safe [[Liberal Party of Australia|Liberal]] seats. The Commonwealth Electoral Division of [[Division of Bennelong|Bennelong]], currently held by The Hon. The [[Prime Minister]] [[John Winston Howard|John Howard]] MP is a marginal [[Liberal Party of Australia|Liberal]] seat. The Commonwealth Electoral Division of Parramatta, currently held by Ms [[Julie Owens]] MP, is an [[Australian Labor Party|ALP]] seat by a narrow margin; regained from the previous Liberal member [[Ross Cameron]] in the [[Australian legislative election, 2004|2004 election]].
In 1978, he received ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'' magazine's "[[Sportsman of the Year]]" award. In 1980 he was awarded the [[BBC Sports Personality of the Year Overseas Personality]] Award.
 
The State Electoral Districts of [[Electoral district of Baulkham Hills|Baulkham Hills]], currently held by Mr Wayne Merton MLA; Epping, currently held by Shadow [[Attorney-General]] Andrew Tink MLA; and [[Electoral district of The Hills|The Hills]], currently held by Shadow Environment Minister Mr Michael Richardson MLA; are safe [[Liberal Party of Australia|Liberal]] seats. The [[Electoral district of Parramatta|State Electoral District of Parramatta]], currently held by Ms Tanya Gadiel MLA, is a safe [[Australian Labor Party|ALP]] seat.
Jack Nicklaus had an unusual playing style, combining being one of the greatest putters of all-time with being the longest hitter on the tour during his prime. He popularized the "power fade," which was his characteristic ball flight.
 
==Transport==
When Nicklaus won the [[1986]] [[Masters]] using the [[Response ZT]] [[putter]], the manufacturer, [[MacGregor Golf]], received 5,000 orders the next day; the company had planned to sell only 6,000 for the entire year.

[[Image:Carlingford cumbohwy.jpg|thumb|300px|Cumberland Highway, Carlingford]]
 
As with much of Sydney, Carlingford has relatively limited public transport access, which is reflected in the low public transport patronage by commuters. In the 2001 census, 6% of commuters travelled to work via trains while 2% used buses.
In what could be seen as a symbolic passing of the torch from one golf great to another, [[Tiger Woods]] won each major in the year that Nicklaus last appeared in it as a player. In 2000, Nicklaus played in the U.S. Open and PGA Championship for the last time, with Woods winning both; Woods also won The Open Championship in that year, which Nicklaus originally intended as his last appearance in that event. In 2005, Nicklaus made his last Masters appearance, and decided to play The Open one last time. Woods won both events as well.
 
There are a number of bus services which pass through Carlingford. Harris Park Transport, a now defunct bus company, used to operate routes 623, 624, 625, 628, and 629 which pass through the suburb. The 630 was operated by Red Arrow, a joint-venture of Harris Park Transport and [[Westbus]]. As of February 2005, these former Harris Park services (with the exception of route 630) are operated by [[Sydney Buses]] ([[State Transit Authority of New South Wales]]). Previously routes 513 and 521 were the only Sydney Buses services through Carlingford. The former 621 and 622 Citybus Direct (owned by Harris Park Transport) routes from Carlingford to the city proved to be uneconomical and were eliminated.
Jack Nicklaus has been inducted into the [[Canadian Golf Hall of Fame]] and the [[World Golf Hall of Fame]].
 
Current bus lines operated by Sydney Buses include:
==Current career==
* 513 [[West Ryde, New South Wales|West Ryde]] to Carlingford
Nicklaus turned 65 in January 2005, which was the last year he entered a PGA tournament as an exempt player. He announced that he would retire from tournament golf in 2005 at the [[The Open Championship|British Open]] at The [[Old Course at St Andrews]]. The very fact that the 2005 Open was scheduled at The Old Course can be seen as a tribute to Nicklaus. Several years earlier, the organizers of The Open, The [[Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews]] (R&A), had scheduled the 2006 Open for The Old Course. However, aware that Nicklaus' exemption to play in The Open would run out after the 2005 Open, The R&A moved The Old Course up in the rotation one year to give Nicklaus an opportunity to play his last Open there.{{citation needed}}

Nicklaus devotes much of his time to golf course design and operates one of the largest golf design practices in the world. His first design was opened for play in 1970. For the first few years all of his projects were co-designs with either [[Pete Dye]] or [[Desmond Muirhead]], who were two of the leading golf course architects of that era. His first sole design opened for play in 1976. He is now in partnership with his four sons and his son-in-law through Nicklaus Design. The company had 299 courses open for play at the end of 2005, which was nearly 1% of all the courses in the world (In 2005 ''[[Golf Digest]]'' calculated that there were nearly 32,000 golf courses in the world, approximately half of them in the [[United States]]. [http://www.golfdigest.com/planetgolf/]). There are Nicklaus Design courses in more than thirty U.S. states and more than twenty five countries around the world. Jack Nicklaus is personally responsible for over 200 golf course designs. These include [[Muirfield Village]], [[Shoal Creek]], Castle Pines and the PGA Centenary Course at the [[Gleneagles Hotel]].

Nicklaus also continues to manage the [[Memorial Tournament|Memorial Golf Tournament]] he created in his home state of Ohio, which is played on a course he designed and is one of the more prestigious events on the [[PGA Tour|PGA TOUR]]. His other interests are varied and many, and include a golf equipment company and golf academies. There is a Jack Nicklaus Museum on the campus of The [[Ohio State University]] in his home town of [[Columbus, Ohio]]. [http://www.nicklausmuseum.org/] He had the unique privilege of dotting the "i" of "Script Ohio" (specifically the "i" in "Ohio"), the signature formation of [[The Ohio State University Marching Band]], on October 28, 2006 when the Buckeyes played Minnesota; this is considered the greatest honor that can be bestowed on a non-band member.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2641971 | title=Strike up the band: Nicklaus dots 'i' at Ohio State | date=2006-10-28 | publisher=[[Associated Press]], via [[ESPN|ESPN.com]]}}</ref>

=== Railways ===
 
[[CityRail]] provides an infrequent train service at [[Carlingford railway station, Sydney|Carlingford Station]], which is the terminus of the [[Carlingford railway line, Sydney|Carlingford Line]]. The Carlingford Line is a mostly single-track line. There is currently only one service in the early morning which connects to the city directly, at other times a train-change at [[Clyde, New South Wales|Clyde]], is necessary to reach other stations, and consequently the service has a low patronage. As part of the [[CityRail Clearways Project]], a passing loop has been promised to the Carlingford Line with two services per hour all day to become effective in [[2010]].

Nicklaus played without much preparation in April 2005 at The Masters, a month after the drowning death of his 17-month-old grandson Jake (child of his son, Steve) on [[March 1]] [[2005]]. He and Steve played golf as therapy for their grief following the death. After days of playing, it was Steve who suggested his dad return to The Masters. He made that his last appearance in the tournament.
Carlingford suffers from major traffic congestion during morning and afternoon peaks. Because of the limited public transport most residents travel to work by cars. In the 2001 census, 60% stated their main method of getting to work was driving their own vehicle. The Cumberland Highway, a major north-south route through greater Sydney, intersects Carlingford in the form of Pennant Hills Road. As well, many motorists commuting from the Hills District and the growing north-west areas of Sydney travel through Carlingford to the city.
 
The [[M2 Hills Motorway (Sydney)|M2 Hills Motorway]], part of the Sydney orbital road, runs through northern Carlingford providing a route to the city and [[North Sydney]]. Since the [[Westlink M7|Westlink M7 Motorway]] was finished, completing the Sydney Orbital, it has replaced the Cumberland Highway as the north-south national highway. This has, however, not relieved much of the traffic congestion on [[Pennant Hills Road]] (south of the M2 Hills Motorway), and has increased traffic congestion on the M2 Hills Motorway {{Fact|date=April 2007}}.
The last competitive tournament in which Nicklaus played in the [[United States]] was the "Bayer Advantage Classic" in [[Overland Park, Kansas]] on [[June 13]], [[2005]].
 
The area of Carlingford to the east of Pennant Hills Road and North of Carlingford Road, was built mostly in the years, post WWII. There is an area of streets named after famous North African battle fields.
Nicklaus finished his professional career at the [[The Open Championship|British Open]] at [[Old Course at St Andrews|St. Andrews]] on [[July 15]], [[2005]]. He played with [[Luke Donald]] and [[Tom Watson (golfer)|Tom Watson]] in his final round. On the 18th hole, Nicklaus hit the final tee-shot of his career, and strolled to the Swilcan bridge and waved to the appreciative crowd (who gave him a ten-minute standing ovation). He then began posing for commemorative photographs with his son and caddy, Steve, as well as Donald and Watson. Afterwards, Nicklaus ended his illustrious career in style, making a fifteen-foot birdie putt and extending his putter and left arm in the air as he had done so many times to celebrate crucial putts. Nicklaus wound up missing the 36-hole cut with a score of +3 (147).

==Other infrastructure==
|-
Carlingford is the site for the control room for the New South Wales electricity grid. A major electricity [[Electrical substation|substation]], operated by [[Integral Energy]], is next to the building housing the control room. The same site also houses one of the major communications relay towers in northern Sydney. This substation used to be connected to Carlingford Station via a siding. While most of the line has since disappeared, some of the remains of the line can be seen from Jenkins Road. An image of this line can be viewed [http://www.nswrail.net/locations/photo.php?name=NSW:Carlingford:8&line=NSW:carlingford:0 here], which is from a website dedicated to railways in New South Wales.
