Product Description
Jack Nicklaus: Golf's Greatest Champion is an intimately penned biography following the life and times of the Golden Bear. Mark Shaw takes the reader on a trip through history from Jack Nicklaus's childhood and early golf training with his mentor, Jack Grout, to his success on the Senior PGA Tour. Along the way, the reader finds anecdotes from Nicklaus's family, closest friends, golf rivals, and associates; career statistics; and analysis of Nicklaus's playing theories. Shaw paints a portrait for the reader of Jack, the golfer; Jack, the family man; and Jack, the golf course designer and businessman. With the energy of a life-long fan, Shaw concludes the book with arguments why Jack Nicklaus should be recognized as the greatest golfer in the history of the sport.

 Jack is the greatest March 13, 2003
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the best book on Jack Nicklaus I have ever read. It details his career, but more important, insights into Jack's mind and his strategy. Tiger may be on his trail, but until he racks up a few more championships, Jack is the greatest. This is a must-read for Nicklaus lovers and there are many of us out there.
 Atrocious Nicklaus book March 1, 2003

Actually, a quarter of a star. Hampered by overstylized, crummy writing; apparently no copyediting or proofreading, so mistakes aplenty; and, amazingly, zero quotes from Nicklaus. Author has a love/hate relationship with Jack. Just can't get the golden bear to speak to him. Does author really believe that Nicklaus--not Tiger--is golf's greatest champion? Even Nicklaus would find that hard to swallow. So was this sham of a book.
