ALthough the price was inexpensive, there was uncertainty when placing the order. I could not get information pertaining to whether or not this tape was a separate release by Jack Nicholas, or a portion of his GOlf My Way tape released on its own. Well, it turned out to be a small section of the original Golf My Way .............. which is one of other tapes I ordered at the same time. The third tape I ordered, Short Shots, was also a repackaged section of Golf My Way. So, actually, I would only have needed to order Golf My Way and neither of the other two. I feel I wasted my money on Control Shots and Short SHots. One thing I was looking for was the number of minutes of each tape ......... but, that was not listed in the product info.

Having watched the consistency of Jack Nicklaus at last year's Senior Open, his reputation for self discipline became a revelation to me as I listened and watched a presentation by someone else of the rules of golf and the handicap system. Because he has, in many cases, set the standard for control in golf, I couldn't help but realize how much like business golf is where the slightest of different angles often produce measurable differences in the outcome of the game - golf or business. The importance of practice and respecting the greens as well as giving oneself an equal shot at making the green and controlling the put as well as fellow players became clear as the standard of excellence most thrive for. I reckoned then, how like life golf is in being able to maneuver the roughs, the bunkers and the greens with just the right tools as well as with the right swings. In his recent decision to take life a little easier because of his back pain, I surmised that as a master of the game, he probably thought about all the important angles. What a great teacher!
