Review: Golf My Way: The Instructional Classic, Revised and Updated by Jack Nicklaus and Ken Bowden with illustrations by Jim McQueen

This is quite possibly one of the most popular golf instructional books that was ever written. The first edition appeared in 1974, and the book has since gone on to sell more than 2 million copies. Fast forward to 2008 and the old favorite is back, updated, and better than ever. If you didn?t catch this one the first time around, or if this is an old favorite book of yours, the update is certainly well worth the money.

The first section of the book covers basic attitudes about golf, and goes into the methodology behind the game. You?ll be learning how Nicklaus views the game of golf, and the techniques that he uses to get those high scores. This section also contains a look at some other pro?s techniques and a discussion about how to become a better player.

The second section details Nicklaus? technique for the tee shot, and the rest of your drive. Some very important subjects are discussed here, and this is the ideal section to read if you have had difficulty with this portion of your game. The third section deals with approach shots and handling your putts, and once again, offers some incredible information that is truly helpful.

The fourth part is a very interesting look inside Nicklaus? brain, and his past career. It covers quite a lot of ground, such as tournament play, the mental game of golf and many other aspects of this sport.

The updated version contains a new chapter about how Nicklaus? views and techniques on golf have changed through the years, and many other updates are sprinkled throughout the book. In many cases, update books are rarely worth repurchasing, but we?re happy to report that this one is money well spent. Even if you have read the first version many times, you?ll still be able to get quite a lot of new information out of this updated version.

Whether you are a struggling novice, seasoned professional or someone that just likes to play a little golf from time to time, this book has plenty of merit. You?ll be able to learn some incredible techniques from a master golfer, and in many cases, it?s like receiving instruction from Nicklaus himself. Considering how much that would cost, reading the book is a whole lot cheaper and probably just about as effective, since you can keep going back to review the information.

For those that truly love the sport of golf, or are trying to develop that love, this is the ideal book. We found it to be a complete golf instructional that can open up some new horizons for golfers, especially those that are struggling. It would make the perfect gift for Nicklaus fans, and is well suited for those that are determined to learn more about this game, how to play it and more importantly, how to get more out of it.
