Anyone who has seen the one page tips in a golf magazine will recognize the essence of this book. It doesn't go into depth, instead it will have a sketched image of what you should be doing along with a paragraph or two of explaination.

The tips have been organized into specific areas, setup, grip, and power for example to make it easier to find what you're looking for.

Keep in mind it's not intended to teach, just offer quick tips and advice and as such I pick it up just to flip through it to jog my memory at times. Originally over-priced at $25, I bought it for $7.95 and found it worthwhile at that price as a good reminder of what I should be doing by one of the best who has ever play the game.

I wasn't blown away. It is more little snipets of information than actual tips you can use. I recommend buying his Golf My Way book and skipping this one.

In my humble opinion, while "My Golden Lessons" is a good read, the book is targeted for more experienced players. I am looking at taking up golf again after taking off several years due to family, work, and other interests and want to read some books for the beginner or less experienced. Saw this book at the local public library and decided to read it.

The book, written by one of the best players ever, contains several colorful illustrations (usually drawings of Nicklaus himself) of how to hit particular shots, stances to use , mental preparation, etc.

However, as stated earlier, I believe the book is better suited to the more experienced golfer. Still, a good read and I will refer to this title more as I play longer.

Recommended.

I play to a 7 and have over 150 golf instruction books. Jack's new book is by far the very best I have ever read. Good, solid advice given in a no nonsense manner with great illustrations. Don't miss this one.
