"Jack my ball keeps going straight."

Advantages: Manage to complete a round faster with less balls lost
Disadvantages: Don't spend as much time in the rough so I don't find lots of extra balls other people have lost.

...It seems that in golf today the most important thing that a club should have is a high MOI rating (moment of inertia). This rating basically relates to the clubs ability to resist twisting and turning of the club head when a ball is struck off centre. In drivers and fairway woods this has prompted all sorts of weird and wonderful designs. However the same could not be said for the iron market that was until the Jack Nicklaus Company released their Nicklaus Polarity MTR Irons. The set consists of 7 irons (#5 iron through to sand wedge) plus the addition of two hybrid rescue clubs which form a replace for the 3 and four iron. As I stated at first the main benefit that these irons offer over all other clubs on the market is this increased MOI rating. This is done by repositioning the weight in the club head so that it is further apart...

Review of Nicklaus Polarity MTR Irons

Simply The Best - Better Than All The Rest

Advantages: See opinion
Disadvantages: See opinion

...~ ~ It’s hard to believe that this great American golfer, arguably the best who has ever held a golf club, is now over 60 years of age. As a young golf fanatic in the 1960’s, there were three golfers, “The Big Three”, who were head and shoulders above all the others; Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus. They strode the fairways of the world like kings, and between them won more major championships and tour events than any other golfers in the history of the sport. ~ ~ Nicklaus was born in Columbus, Ohio, in January, 1940, and burst onto the golf scene in his late teens, when he won the US Amateur Championship twice. It is fair to say that he was the Tiger Woods of his day, as he hit the ball further and higher than anyone had ever seen before. His sheer strength was awesome to behold, and I can...

Review of Jack Nicklaus

The Course Manager Who Changed

Advantages: see opinion
Disadvantages: see opinion

...“Jack is playing an entirely different game, and one which I am not even familiar with” Bobby Jones, watching Nicklaus win the 1965 Masters. Jack Nicklaus knew he was comfortably the best there was and, many would say, played too cautiously. If he had a weakness, it was arrogance. He knew he ought to win and didn’t want to let the others in through playing bold shots, which could have gone wrong. Safety was almost his watchword. That is, until the final round, with Nicklaus, say, a few strokes behind in a major championship and no longer anything to lose. Then, for his last round tee shots, he would leave the irons in the bag. At Muirfield in 1966, he maneuvered his way round, mostly playing the irons from the tee for placement and avoiding the hayfields along the fairways. He won. Several years later at the same...

Review of Jack Nicklaus

Can anyone tame the Tiger

Advantages: The man is just pure class
Disadvantages: Didn`t convert his 19 runner-up place into majors

...Everywhere you look you see Tiger Woods name splattered on all Golf magazines , bill boards , television ads , sports sponsers etc Yet not too far from him on the 18th hole stands Jack Nicklaus the one man who at the age of 60 is no doubt the greatest golfer the world has ever seen. Tiger Woods a comparative newcomer to the game when compared to Jack Nicklaus has yet to prove the test of time. Where are his challengers ?? Unlike the great Jack Nicklaus who in his prime time had to continually withstand the challenges of Arnold Palmer and Gary Player. These three players captured the imagination of the golfing public yet no matter how fierce and tight the competition was Jack Nicklaus always pulled through to win those all important trophies. This sustained pressure lasted for many years yet Jack Nicklaus withstood it season after...

Review of Jack Nicklaus

Rescue me cheaply

Advantages: Price, quality and result
Disadvantages: none

...American golf where I tried a number of the hybrids out in the store, all very reasonably priced before eventually deciding on the Golden Bear ( Jack Nicklaus brand ) accu force hybrid which equated to a 5 iron. Since then I have discovered immense improvement in my game, hitting distance shots with loft not only from the rough or semi rough but also from the tee and fairway alike. The cost???? Just a mere £29.99p. An absolute bargain and a club I would recomend any beginner ofr high handicap golfer to go along to the store and try out for themselves, I am sure they will agree with me that it is a must have in the bag club....

His Place In History

Advantages: Amazing powers of recovery, immensely marketable
Disadvantages: Sadly passed his peak

...What can you say about Seve Ballesteros? Here is a man who single handedly put golf on to a higher plane. He very nearly won The Open as a 19 year old in 1976 after having led for three rounds he was pipped by Johnny Miller. Still he was the one of youngest ever winners of a Major in the modern era when he won the Open Championship at the age of 22 in 1979 at Royal Lytham and captured 2 other Open titles in 1984 at St Andrews and 1988 back at Royal Lytham, he also won 2 US Masters titles in 1980 and 1983. As The Open is back at Royal Lytham this year it will be good to see Ballesteros back at the scene of some of his most memorable golf. It must be said a mere listing of titles does not define Ballesteros as it does perhaps Jack Nicklaus. Where Nicklaus accumulated titles by relentless attrition, Ballesteros combined enormously hit...

Funny - Perhaps.

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: n/a

...I thought as it's the new year that i'd go through some old e-mails, and I found a few jokes and quotes that some of you out there may be interested in reading, or maybe not... PS. The Update's at the end... A reporter was interviewing Jack Nicklaus. He said, "Jack, you are spectacular, your name is synonymous with the game of golf. You really know your way around the course. What is your secret?" To which Jack replied, "The holes are numbered!" "According to a survey in this month's 'Glamour' magazine,61% of men say they will call a women after having sex on the first date. In defense of the remaining 39%, they said they would call the woman if they could just remember her name." - Jay Leno Little Mary was attending a wedding for the first time. As she sat in the church, she watched the bride slowly approach...

Chasing a Tiger

Advantages: Total Game
Disadvantages: Doesn't get to practice bunker shots......

...headwind, and considering how many tap-ins he has had for par, the margin for error is still there. As Nicklaus bows out, the age of the Tiger is here, and will be for a long time to come. His only test lest is longevity, where he will need to prove himself against Nicklaus, Palmer, Player and the like. But when it comes to outright ability, like Jordan and Gretsky, Woods is in a different class to EVERYBODY playing the game today....

Review of Tiger Woods

Actually very good

Advantages: Gentle learning curve and relaxing to play
Disadvantages: Dated graphics

...I picked up a copy of this and Jack Nicklaus 5 at a local computer show for just £1.00, so i was not expecting much from them. With Jack Nicklaus, i had my fears confirmed as it was cumbersome and awkward to play, but not so with actua golf 2. The install was smooth and fast and on loading you are presented with a very slick front end, where all of your options are laid out in clear form. The overall object of this game is to start as an amatuer and play your way through increasingly difficult tournaments to become number one on the proffesional circuit. The courses are many and varied, from rough windy scottish courses, through to the dry still desert courses. Weather conditions are changable throughout matches, which does affect the ball dynamics. The swing meter is difficult to master, but once you have it is very accurate...

Review of Actua Golf 2 (PC)

The More I Practice The Luckier I Get.

Advantages: A fierce competitor and fine golfer.
Disadvantages: Can be very outspoken at times.

...~ ~ This diminutive South African golfer was born in Johannesburg in 1935. Standing at only 5 foot seven inches in his bare feet, he was an unlikely candidate to go on to achieve greatness in the world of golf, where the ability to hit the ball a long way is at a premium, especially on the Pro Circuit. ~ ~ But from a very young age Player embarked on a daily exercise regime that allowed him to make the very most of his small stature, and which he continues to follow to this day, even at nearly 66 years-of-age, and with his “glory” years long in the past. ~ ~ That there were “glory” years is without question. Player was in his prime at the same time as Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, the two US golfing legends, and throughout his career had many formidable battles with both, on many occasions emerging...
