Summary: Easy read
Review: Jack has written a very simple book to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Essential for the avid golfer
Review: Jack Nicklaus has forgotten more about the golf swing then we will ever know. Nicklaus shares his vast knowledge with the rest of us hackers. He starts with the basics about Grip, stance, swing arc, alignment etc. The beginner to the scratch player will gain important game improvement knowledge. Jack shows how to do it correctly and he also shows some common swing faults.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the essentials
Review: One of the 5 or 10 "must have" books in your golf library, Golf My Way isn't about how to play golf as much as it is about how Jack Nicklaus plays golf. In other words, it's not really an instructional book. Nicklaus gives advice but it's always in the context of how he plays the game.

That said, Golf My Way is a wonderful introduction to the game of golf, suitable for players of any level past complete beginner. It is especially suited for players looking for more insight into how to think their way around a golf course.

The book is beautifully illustrated. I do, however, carry a slight bias in my opinion. The book is illustrated by Jim McQueen, who illustrated for Nicklaus for decades (and continues to do so). McQueen's youngest son was a classmate of mine during the years that they lived in western North Carolina. I got quite a kick out of peeking at Jim's current work-in-progress on his drawing table.

(Funny, though, that I didn't take up golf until almost two decades later.)

Summary: Essential Full Swing Instruction Manual
Review: still the single best instruction manual after all these years. (and not just because of the author!) for the first time, proper setup, feel and how to shape your shots is all laid out in one terrific easy to follow book. for example, did you know that after you have mastered one basic swing to hit the ball straight, how just a few simple pre-shot adjustments using the same swing will allow you to hit on command just about any type of shot you want?: the high fade, low penetrating draw, slice or hook (yes there are times when you intentionally want to hit these last 2!) will will become a standard part of your arsenal after reading this book. I was at a clinic being delivered by Jerry Pate once where he said "no one knew how to mechanically hit these shots until Jack Nicklaus taught us all in Golf My Way. before then, it was all done pretty much by feel." I agree with Jerry.

The one thing you won't find here is adequate instruction on the short game other than putting. since chipping and bunker play was never Jack's forte (why bother when you never miss a green!), this is not surprising.
