Golf My Way
The Instructional Classic, Revised and Updated
by Jack Nicklaus
Reading Profile
Should I read this?
Golf My Way lays out grip, setup, swing mechanics, shot selection, and course strategy in a steady, teacherly voice. It works best as a chaptered reference you return to when fixing specific faults or practicing fundamentals. The steady, descriptive approach is the book's strength but also its limitation: many passages are long on description and repetition, with fewer short, modern-style drills or biomechanical explanations. If you want quick drills, a contemporary coaching language, or a fast read, you'll likely find it slow.
Read this if...
- •a mid-handicap weekend golfer trying to break 90 — wants a single source to troubleshoot swing faults and practice fundamentals between rounds.
- •a high-school or club coach building a season-long lesson plan — needs consistent chaptered instruction and a clear teaching voice to base drills and progressions around.
- •a returning golfer rebuilding basics after years away — prefers systematic explanations of grip, stance, and shot selection rather than bite-sized tips.
Skip this if...
- •you'll likely put it down when long, descriptive passages pile up; readers who want quick, action-oriented drills tend to lose interest by the middle sections.
- •annoying if you prefer modern biomechanics or contemporary coaching language — the teaching stays in an older instructional style and rarely uses recent technical terminology.
- •no exercises: lacks hands-on, step-by-step drill worksheets or a playbook of short practice routines for immediate application.

Consider Accidental Presidents by Jared Cohen. Recommended by 10 sources.
“Accidental Presidents offers eight narrative portraits of men who succeeded to the U.S. presidency without election, using anecdote-rich scenes and readable context to show how personality and circumstance interact with office power. It’s strongest as a set of self-contained stories that make succession stakes concrete for non-specialist readers; it does not prioritize dense archival argument or exhaustive methodology, so expect some interpretive generalizations and repeated themes across cases. Use it for fast historical orientation rather than scholarly deep-dives.”
