Jack Nicklaus' Lesson Tee: 15th Anniversary Edition Paperback – June 1, 1992

To get back to the basics of the golf swing.

I bought this illustrated golf lesson text almost twenty years ago. It was mostly sitting on my book shelf until last September. I became seriously interested in learning how to swing golf clubs at that time and the book I took up was "Jack Nicklaus Lesson Tee". It was originally published in the early 1970s, but its brilliance was timeless. I started golf swing practices from scratch, slowly and carefully followed Jack's lessons, have my body remember each detailed motion as Jack taught me and finished the 150 page lessons using almost a half year. Subsequently I reenforced what I learned in the "Lesson Tee" by reading two more Jack's books, "Golf My Way" and "My Golden Lessons". Very recently I played 18 hole golf for the first time in my 59 year life, and it worked! I hit the driver, fairway woods and irons cleanly and I was the person who first reached the greens in most holes while I was competing with low handicappers in the team. Because I haven't practiced putting and chipping and took 3-4 puttings in each hole, I ended up with somewhere between bogey and double bogey on average. But Jack's lessons worked very well and I admired him. I recently purchased almost all books he wrote and all available videos he and others created about his lessons and his accomplishment. AND all started with "Jack Nicklaus Lesson Tee". It is a hidden gem and a timeless textbook for sound golf lessons.

There are a lot of books on how to hit golf balls and each has some secret that will allow you to play golf like a pro, but most do not deliver the results that they promise. The Lesson Tee not only tells you how but also why. The drawings are excellent and you must examine them carefully because they also have pertinent information. Jack Nicklaus gives you everything he knows about golf. Excellent book if you reread it and apply the techniques. Good luck on the golf course!

Used this book as a kid to learn how to swing a golf club 25 years ago. Super happy to have it again since my first one fell apart years ago.

I bought this for my husband and I read it too. It's a great go-to book if we are struggling with a part of our game.

I remembered this from when I was learning Golf and I bought this for my wife to help her learn. She is already quoting things that she learned from this book. The instructions are easy to grasp with full color illustrations (similar to a comic book). Excellent for the beginning golfer or any golfer that wants to brush up on certain techniques.

If you want to learn golf, get this book!

Excellent book. All of the training information includes detailed images with correct hand and body position as well as information on correct weight balance and hand and finger pressure.

Excellent reading

Superb

Ce livre est très bon. Vous bénéficiez de l'expérience de Jack Nicklaus pour comprendre la mécaniques complexe du swing de golf.Les dessins sont très bien faits et illustrent le propos très clairement. Quelques champions autodidactes ont appris le golf avec cet ouvrage. Une référence et un gros travail de synthèse... pour le prix de quelques minutes avec votre pro préféré. Un complément très utile aux leçons pendant lesquelles on n'a pas le temps de comprendre la mécanique du swing, a moins d'avoir un budget très confortable.
