Left-side trees can be a problem off the tee, and the left-side rough is thick near a slightly elevated green. Any approach shot pushed right flirts with trees and possibly a lake that spans the adjacent 12th hole. Although No. 7 is the shortest of Los Robles' three longest par-4s, this hole is rated the toughest on the course. - Dave Shelburne BOOK REVIEW The Nicklaus Way By John Andrisani Published by HarperResource, an imprint of HarperCollins/Publishers (www.harpercollins.com) Longtime Golf Magazine writer Andrisani fills out a strong foursome with this how-to edition that examines the strategies and techniques of a golfer many regard as the best ever to play the game.

Named for explorer Christopher Columbus, the city was founded in 1812 at the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy rivers, and assumed the functions of state capital in 1816. . Good enough a golfer to win the World Golf Writers Championship and good enough a writer to have been Golf Magazine senior editor of instruction, Andrisani also has a background as a golf instructor and interviewed other instructors in pursuit of giving his readers a better understanding of the powerful Nicklaus swing. Impeccable course management, perhaps as important a reason Nicklaus won a record 18 professional majors, also is examined in this 140-page softback edition, which includes chapters on shot-making, good habits and the mental strength of a man Golf Magazine named Golfer of the Century and who Andrisani calls ``probably the smartest approach player ever.'' - Dave Shelburne CAPTION(S): photo, 2 boxes Photo: no caption (Book: ``The Nicklaus Way'') Box: (1) TRACKING THE PROS (2) GOLF CALENDAR |
