Review: Jack Nicklaus:
My Golden Lessons
|
| | |
| | |
|
Anyone familiar with Jack Nicklaus knows that everything he does has a distinct purpose. The publication of his instruction books provides a perfect example.
|
| |
|
As with everything he undertakes, I get the distinct impression his books are produced when he really has something new and different to offer.
|
| |
|
This book is not a typical instruction book in that it doesn’t cover the swing and the game in “sequential” order. Those books are aimed more at beginners and mid to high handicap players.
|
| |
|
My Golden Lessons is a book that more established players will enjoy. It’s based on his remarkably popular instruction series in Golf Digest and Golf magazines.
|
| |
|
The best of those articles are presented here and cover a variety of topics, from swing instruction, to course management, to the art of managing your mental approach.
|
| |
|
Having read many of these short lessons over the years, I was instantly drawn to this book. Its format is one I happen to like and I can thumb through a number of short lessons like these for hours. Open the book to any page and you’ll find something of immediate interest.

|
What else makes this book a standout? The illustrations by Jim McQueen. I’m convinced that a talented illustrator captures the essence of an instructor’s message in a way that photography simply can’t touch.
