Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Written in the early '70s, Golf My Way is the first of the truly modern instructionals mixing physics and kinesiology with theory and technique. The writing's a little dense, but the illustrations are quite good, and some of the mental exercises nothing less than revolutionary. If there's a caveat to Golf My Way, it's that Jack's way works for Jack's game, and may not mesh with yours. Then again, this is the book that introduced Ernie Els to golf, and look what he's done. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jack's Original Tape, September 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Jack Nicklaus: Golf My Way: The Full Swing [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After renting this tape many times over the years, I was happy to find that Amazon.com carries it. I purchased it and at the same time purchased "Golf My Way -- The Full Swing". When they arrived, I found that this tape, "Golf My Way I -- Hitting the Shots" is the original tape that I have rented. I also found that "The Full Swing" is EXCERPTED from this one, so I returned it. It states that plainly on the cover, but that is not clear online. One only needs this one tape. Ordering both is not necessary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for the avid golfer, September 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Nicklaus, Jack / Golf My Way [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT FOR BEGINNERS, June 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Jack Nicklaus: Golf My Way: The Full Swing [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I found this video to be most helpful in the beginning stages of my game (before I broke a 100). Nicklaus, does an excellent job of keeping the lessons flowing and easy to understand. I would definitely reccomend this video to the weekend hacker who wants to try video lessons to get a grasp on the fundamentals of a good golf swing.
