Golf My Way

Dieses Buch ist meiner Meinung nach das Beste Golf Lehrbuch. Jack Nicklaus erklärt mit Logik und Didaktik alle Facetten des Spiels, die Beschreibung der Technik ist ausführlich und wird durch unzählige Bilder unterstützt. Eine absolute Kaufempfehlung für die, die eine gute Technik entwickeln wollen.

Ok some of the language is a little out of date, but that aside - who wouldn’t want to learn from the greatest golfer of all time! Interesting mix of anecdotes and lesson type advice!

"El golf ya es suficientemente dificil para complicarlo aun más". Esta frase de Nicklaus resume perfectamente la orientación de su libro

While many here argue that the book is essentially useless for novices to the game, I'd disagree. I'd say it depends upon what kind of student one is. If a reader of any discipline is diligent, intelligent, and motivated, there would be very little in the book that requires prior experience to *concepts* and proven expertise. I found no terms or ideas in the book that a regular person could not imaginatively understand conceptually with some effort. Of course, competent implementation requires close practice in golf, pretty much like it does in any sport reliant upon eye-hand coordination, mind-body integration, and a competitive spirit. I'd say the author (and his team) explain issues very well, indeed. I think the book could be fruitfully read serially from one chapter to another, and it could also be used as a kind of reference manual for different issues. The more personal comments by Nicklaus along the way were appreciated by me and added richness and provided interest to continue reading his book. Those who only want the technical "solutions" in golf may be missing a part of the game that makes it so enduring and attractive (and addictive). I taught a complex discipline in university for about 35 years, and I think most teachers find themselves making a decision about at what level he or she will teach students: to the top 1/3, the middle 1/3, or the bottom 1/3? In any situation, learning is always an inside job--not simply reliant upon so-called "great teachers."

I picked up Golf My Way by Jack Nicklaus, and it’s been a game-changer. Nicklaus’s insights are clear and practical, breaking down techniques that are easy to understand and apply. His tips on the fundamentals have noticeably improved my game, making it an invaluable resource for golfers at any level. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned player, this book offers timeless advice from one of the best in the game. Highly recommended!
