Summary:
Jack Nicklaus II shares stories, insights, and
lessons
he's learned from his
father
, the "
Golden
Bear," that will delight golf fans of all ages, encourage fathers, and inspire readers to focus on what's most important in life: family. "
Best
Seat
in the
House
", written with New York Times bestselling author Don Yaeger, gives us
18
valuable
lessons
that Jack Nicklaus II learned from his
father
, PGA champion Jack Nicklaus. Although the "
Golden
Bear," as he is known by fans, is widely regarded as the
best
golfer of all time, with a record number of PGA major championships, his life and values show that true legacy lives on through your children, grandchildren, and others we are blessed to call family and friends. For the first time, the public is given the opportunity to see what made Jack Nicklaus an off-course success, including: How he and his wife, Barbara, fashioned fifty-plus years of marriage, understanding that they both had to give of themselves "at least 85 percent of the time;" The importance of having boundaries and limits that everyone in the family agrees on; How Nicklaus taught his
son
Jack, who worked as his caddie for several years, to value his competitors and treat them as he would hope to be treated; The need to be connected to what we'll leave behind: our legacies. One June day, Jack Nicklaus II had just completed his second round in a Palm Beach County Junior Golf Association tournament and was sitting at the scorer's table, signing his scorecard, when somebody told him his dad was on the telephone. He was a little frustrated because he didn't want to be bothered on such an important day, but his dad wanted to know how he had played, so Jack II spent the next twenty minutes detailing every hole and every shot. Afterward, his
father
said, "Jackie, would you like to know how your dad did today?" Of course he wanted to know, and he felt a little guilty for not asking. "Well, I just won the US Open." It was
Father
's Day 1980, and on that day Jack II learned a valuable lesson that he carried with him into adulthood: family is more important than anything in the world.
