NICKLAUS, Jack. (with Ken Bowden). Putting My Way. A Lifetime’s Worth of Tips from Golf’s All-Time Greatest (Signed by Jack Nicklaus)

Hoboken, New Jersey: John Wiley & Sons, 2009. First Edition. Octavo. pp. xii, 142. Publisher’s green boards, gilt-lettered spine, in pictorial dust jacket featuring Nicklaus celebrating a putt. Signed on the front free endpaper by both Jack Nicklaus and his longtime collaborator Ken Bowden. Fine in fine dust jacket. A pristine signed example.

A fine, bright copy of Nicklaus’s definitive work on the art and philosophy of putting—condensing over four decades of competitive experience into an accessible, methodical guide. The ten chapters cover every aspect of the short game, from attitude and grip to faults, fixes, and strategy, with personal anecdotes and reflections throughout. Illustrated with line drawings by Jim McQueen.

Nicklaus, winner of a record 18 major championships, here distils the essence of his mental and mechanical approach to golf’s most exacting discipline. Co-author Ken Bowden worked with Nicklaus on several of his instructional and autobiographical books.
