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 eighteen
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 95 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.
