JACK NICKLAUS’ Short Game Control | Stop HITTING OFF the BACK FOOT! 🤯 (Golden Bear Tip)
What can the Golden Bear teach us about the golf short game? A TON! 🤩
In this classic clip, we see Jack Nicklaus demonstrating a phenomenal short-game technique.
Notice his incredibly stable lower body and how he uses his hands and arms to create a crisp, accelerating strike. It’s a masterclass in commitment—you can see he never lets up!
This is a VITAL lesson for any golfer who struggles with chunks, skulls, or decelerating through impact. The common amateur mistake is trying to “scoop” the ball up or shifting too far onto the back foot—Nicklaus keeps his base grounded and lets the club do the work!
We break down what makes Jack Nicklaus’s short game so clutch and how you can apply this feel and technique to your own chipping and pitching to lower your scores FAST.
🎯 Key Takeaways:
• Stable lower body throughout the swing.
• Focus on an aggressive, accelerating strike.
• Allow the clubface loft to lift the ball—don’t try to scoop!
