In this intimately-penned biography following the life and times of the Golden Bear, author Mark Shaw takes readers 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, Jack Nicklaus: Golf's Greatest Champion provides anecdotes from Nicklaus's family, closest friends, golf rivals, and associates. Along with career statistics and analysis of Nicklaus's playing theories, Jack Nicklaus: Golf's Greatest Champion paints a portrait for readers of Jack the golfer, Jack the family man, and Jack the golf course designer and businessman. With the energy of a lifelong fan, Shaw concludes this unique book with arguments why Jack Nicklaus should be recognized as the greatest golfer in the history of the sport.
