Photography

Photographers whose work is annually selected to appear in the Jack Nicklaus Golf Calendar are among the elite in their class and imagery style. Photos from such widely recognized professionals as Evan Schiller, Joann Dost, John and Jeannine Henebry, Mike Klemme, and Dick Durrance have appeared in the calendar along with those of Nicklaus Design staff photographer, Jim Mandeville.

Selections are based upon criteria such as how a golfer would play the hole tee-to-green, a course's location, course grand openings, and even for a golf hole's WOW-Factor.

"Unweight" Your Putter For Smooth Takeaway
The scientists tell us a putted ball always skids a little bit before it starts rolling. Be that as it may, I putt best when I have the feeling I'm starting the ball rolling end over end the moment it leaves the putterface.

To obtain that feeling, I have to swing the putter back close to the ground. In trying to do that though, there's often a fear of stubbing the blade. The solution for me lies in a mental image and physical sense of "unweighting" the putter just before I start it back by raising its head just barely off the ground.

In addition to promoting a low-to-the-ground stroke, this little move helps me keep my body still and makes it easier to start the club back smoothly.
