Jack Nicklaus

My Story

De: Jack Nicklaus, Ken Bowden

Narrado por: Ian Esmo

During his more than 40-year career as champion amateur, dominating professional, and senior star, the Golden Bear has won almost 100 tournaments around the world. Topping that astounding achievement are his record 20 major-championship victories: two U.S. Amateurs, six Masters, four U.S. Opens, three British Opens, and five U.S. PGA Championships.

This is Jack Nicklaus’ complete and compelling in-depth account of his legendary major triumphs, along with many other competition highlights—and some lowlights, too—of one of the greatest sports careers of all time.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The most important golf autobiography since that of Nicklaus’ boyhood hero, Bobby Jones. A chronicle of rare insight and depth. It manages to increase the reputation of its subject. And like him, it will last.” ( Washington Times)

“Nicklaus is very calming in that unpretentious Midwestern way, and Ian Esmo's reading is controlled and blissfully unintrusive. It's like listening to the Golden Bear himself as he recounts the 20 major championships he won between 1959 and 1986.” ( AudioFile)

Two Thumbs Up

Narrator wasn’t the the best. Regardless, great insight into how talent is only a piece of the game and how the key to greatness is the mental side of of the game.

Walking through Nicklaus’s life

Amazing story as you feel like you’re side by side with him going through his life. The details,honesty, and understanding the man who was so misunderstood.
My only drawback is the voice of the guy reading. At first I thought it was a robot, maybe he was trying to sound more like Jack but eventually it grew on me or I just got used to it.

Great Story of Jack as you learn about family, golf, friends, and how hard he worked at golf

I recommend this story to all golfers and sports enthusiasts . A truly amazing life he has has on and off the course. The world is lucky to have Jack and Barbara as they have been great leaders setting a high bar on how to live life. Thanks

The GOAT

I truly enjoyed hearing about the life of Jack Nicklaus from himself. I think the ending could’ve been scripted better. I enjoyed this publication very much.

Good story, bad narrator

at first I thought the book was being read by Siri's father. way to robotic, very little inflection.

however, the story was well written.
