All I want for Christmas is a Nicklaus course

Keep one thing in mind about the current financial downturn: The rich are still rich, they just have a little less money.

If you don't believe me, take a look at the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. This fantasy Christmas list has everything I've ever wanted, including a Guinness Home Pub Package ($250,000) and a thoroughbred racing farm ($10 million). But my favorite is the Jack Nicklaus-designed three-hole backyard golf course for just $1 million. (Construction and site costs not included.)

Jack Nicklaus Custom Backyard Course Package
Go ahead, re-read it. Yes, THE Jack Nicklaus, Golfer of the Century turned world-renowned course designer. Yep, your very own custom-designed three-hole course. Uh-huh, for your backyard. Jack will study topography, aerial photos, and landscape maps for the site, then send his team to survey the property. He'll create a formal design plan and color renderings for up to three holes and a practice area, depending on the size of your back forty. Your construction crew builds from it, with supervision from Jack's world-class design team (the same team pursued by premier club owners worldwide). Now to sink the winning putt; when your course is finished, the Golden Bear himself will stop by to play the first round with you, personally. More? He'll sign his club and ball for your collection and throw in a custom set of Nicklaus clubs, including a personalized bag.

Drop your putter, dig your cell phone out of your golf bag, and call 1.877.9NM.GIFT.

Of course I may have to settle for the Golden Bear sweater vest.

*Here are some other backyard courses we may see in future catalogs:

The Arnold Palmer backyard course: Arnie hires another guy to design the course, but comes to your house when it's done with a couple cases of Rolling Rock and hangs out for the week.

The design purist backyard course: When the course is built, the designer tears down your house to improve the aesthetics of the course.

The Tiger Woods backyard course: Dubai residents only
