Jack Nicklaus

Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2007

A "Must" for Those Who Admire The Golden Bear
It sounds "trite" and simple to say it, but this book is a "must" for those who love golf and admire the qualities Jack Nicklaus brought to the game, talent, work ethic, competitiveness, success, and class. The epitome of what the game is meant to be. There are other, more indepth, books on Jack Nicklaus, but this one has it all, enough to appreciate the man, who is, what he stands for and ...

Just Hit It

Frank Thomas, Jeff Neuman

Frankly Publications, 2008

Science Wins
On page 117, Frank Thomas states, "Standard clubs will do fine until you shoot consistently in the mid to low 70s." "Until then, work on improving you instead of your clubs." Finally, someone with substantial technical knowledge of the evolution of equipment and the history of golf has finally come out and said it. The job of manufacturers is to market and sell their products, but it matters ...

Curt Sampson

Taylor Pub, 1992

One of the greatest golf books ever, back in print.
I've read a lot of golf books. This is one of my favorites, and I'm glad to see it's finally back in print--there are a lot of golfers I need to recommend this to. It's more just plain fun to read than almost any one I can name. One of golf's great years, and one of the sport's all-time great cast of characters: Hogan, past his prime at 48 but trying to win one more major; Arnie, the greatest ...

The Greenwich Workshop Press, 1999

Terrific!
I was fortunate to have the Golf Channel on a few months ago. Linda Hartough, the artist featured in this book was on with a few of her originals. I immediately purchased the book. After browsing the book 3 or 4 times, taking in her breathtaking artwork, I decided to read a few of the writings by Jaime Diaz on some of my favorite courses. The writings are as enjoyable as the artwork. This book ...

Jack Nicklaus

Simon & Schuster, 2005

Used this to learn how to win
I used the original parts of this book as released by Golf Digest in the 70's and later. This book is updated and includes essential components covering all aspects of the basics and beyond. Nicklaus is excellent at describing the comprehensive components of the golf swing in general and with the various situations you'll find yourself in around the course. Jack Nicklaus isn't usually thought ...

The Lyons Press, 1999

This will help fix what ails your game
Long recognized as the master teacher to all the teachers who are now so famous on tv, Jacobs here has a mighty instruction book. Based on his revolutionary idea of ball flight feedback, one can easily find what pattern one's shots are taking, then apply the remedies listed for that ailment. His two turns and a swing is so simple, but profound. If there is one swing thought I fall back on, this ...

Learning from the master
I am building quite a collection of golf instruction books, but I keep going back to Jack's when I want to cut through the confusion. I am going to order another copy for my twin brother who has recently come back to the game after a 30 year lapse.

Dale Bick Carlson, Carol Nicklaus

Atheneum, 1977

Carlson has the uncanny ability to connect with teens.,
There is a teenager screaming "Help" on the cover of "Where's Your Head." Underneath, it says, "Psychology for teenagers. How to find out about your own personality- how it was formed, and what you can do about it." The Carlsons follow up on this promise. The book describes humans from birth to adulthood in a straightforward way. The authors cover everything from potty training to ...

This is a great book for babies, they love it!
I bought this chunky little book for my 10 month old nephew and he loves it! The words are recognizable to him, and he can hold it all by himself. When we read it to him, he giggles and giggles!

Atheneum Aladdin Book, 1973

A life-changing book
In 1973, I was 9 years old. My grandmother gave me this book and my life was never the same. This book motivated me to believe I could be anybody or anything, eventually finding me as a 39 year old female partner in a large law firm (as well as a wife and a mother). I recently uncovered this book as my parents moved into a new home. It is dog-eared and the cover is missing. What I found most ...

This is one of the best bath book that I met. Its sharp colours amazes my baby very much. It is also wonderful book for toddlers. My two-year-old son even thinks its magic to change the colours and so he loves it so much and must take it in his bath.

Don't miss it.
If you're interested in Jack Nicklaus, and in the way his life and family are interwoven with his golf career, you can't miss this book. One of the great sporting lives in history, a picture of the whole person, an uncommonly intelligent and balanced person who happened to become the greatest player of all time. Even the requisite chapters on instruction (standard among golf biographies) are ...

Super Golf Tournament Book
I don't need another book on the golf swing. I wanted another copy of this book for the "Thoughts" it has. This is clearly the best "non-swing" golf book ever written and the illustrations are terrific. If you have ever played or are considering playing in golf tournaments, you need this book. This was a used copy, from Alibris, and it is in better condition than many new books I've bought, I ...
