Jack NicklausJack Nicklaus: My Story

Very thorough and heartfelt. An excellent read throughout. I was impressed with his candor.

it's great to read what went through the mind of the greatest golfer of all time. Not only will it help my golf game but it will carry over into other aspects of my life. Thanks Jack!

This is a wonderful accounting of the life of a Pro Golfer. He takes you through the challenges and experiences of Golf at the highest level.

Great read and very insightful into a greater man.

Although Jack writes in a very workman-like style, I loved this book. Heavy in detail and insight into the game, I found it hard to put down.

What a fantastic story and a model of a man. He is my heroe.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Jack Nicklaus rewrote golf's record books. He won eighteen professional major championships, still the record, and won each of the four majors at least three times. In this very well-written autobiography, the Golden Bear looks back at his life in golf, from his discovery of the game in childhood to his unforgettable triumph at the 1986 Masters.Nicklaus recounts each of the tournaments from which he emerged with a major championship, his two U.S. Amateur titles, and other tournament wins. He sets forth his philosophy on golf, and indicates what he thinks it takes to be a successful PGA Tour pro. The author also discusses his favorite courses, offers some thoughts on some of the golfers he competed against, and looks at the role of luck in golf.Nicklaus had a full life off the course as well, and he talks about his family life, his business ventures, and his work in course design.The book closes with an appendix of tournament statistics. As recently as a few years ago, most golf observers considered it close to a given that Tiger Woods would surpass the author's record for majors won, but that proposition is not a lead-pipe cinch today. Twenty years from now, this book may still be the story of the man who owns golf's most important record.

I read two third of this book and stopped it. It is an interesting autobiography of Jack Nicklaus, but it is too long, too detailed and too redundant. Though it is admirable that he remembered the details of 15th hole of the 1959 amateur championship, nobody cares about how he played each hole in his long golf career. He should write a much shorter autobiography emphasizing the lessons he learned from his golf career.

I bought if for my father who enjoyed the book of one of his most admired people and golfers of all time

Well written and--as close as possible--the self-examination, trials & tribulations of a great champion. Thanks Jack!

A must for any golfing fanatic, what it takes to make a legend.

This is an excellent read for any golfer seeking to understand the forces that drove Jack Nicklaus to greatness. His apparent total recall of every round he played is amazing and the insights provided into his mental approach to the game of golf are very interesting.The book was in pristine condition and arrived promptly and represented excellent value for money.

Excellent book and speedy delivery
