Product Description:
The 50-year duel of Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus propelled each to the status of American icon and helped transform a gentleman's game into a major American sport with a dedicated following. Through access to both players and hundreds of interviews, the author explores their extreme differences and sprawling influences through mini-dramas such as the 1962 U.S. Open. Remarkably, each wanted what the other had, and despite being rivals they were also dear friends.
Rating:
- Arnie & Jack: Fortunately, their golf was better than O'connor's writing.
I enjoyed the stories about Palmer and Nicklaus, especially the account of their first meeting at Athens Country Club in 1958. Unfortunately, the writing is surprisingly poor. O'Connor uses every cliche and trite phrase to describe the players, almost ruining the otherwise interesting stories. I would not expect this from an experienced sportswriter.
Rating:
- Good golf read, even though a bit over done and repetitive
In order to tell his story, the author goes out of his way to draw a contrast between Palmer and Nicklaus; Jack was calculating, Arnie was daring; Jack wasn't aware of galleries, Arnie played to them; Jack was tubby and not photogenic, Arnie was built like a middleweight prize fighter and charismatic; Arnie played a low draw, Jack a high fade; Arnie was blue collar, Jack was pampered, and on and on. In short, Arnie wanted what Jack had (the best golfing talent) and Jack wanted what Arnie had (fan's ... Read More

- "A Classic Work with the Most Riveting of Personal Moments"
Good book, great book on two of golf's greatest names, greatest players and greatest guys...This book is "a keeper," giving a dynamic inside look at the personalities and competitive instincts of both men. The reader comes to a new and deeper appreciation and understanding of the two golfing giants of our time.
Ian O'Connor takes the easy way out in some of the writing at times, but the story (and stories) he tells far overcome the few and slight wordsmsithing that could be made by the ... Read More

- How Arnie and Jack Liked to Defeat Each Other . . . in Detail
If you want the long and short of this book, it's easy to summarize: Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus loved nothing better than to one-up each other; Arnold wanted to win more on the golf course, and Jack wanted to be more popular with the fans; their wives kept the rivalry from getting out of hand; and they are more at peace with one another now than before.
If you want to read about the various times they played each other, the off-course competition, slights to one another, and what bugged ... Read More
