Summer Routine of a Young Jack Nicklaus Will Blow Your Mind

What is a better birthday present than remembering the hard work you put in for a successful career? On his birthday, the PGA Tour posted the summer routine that Jack Nicklaus used to follow to improve his golfing skills. 

Nicklaus’ schedule for practice when he was a young golfer is a motivational message for all of us. Only by looking at it, we see how many hours he invested to be the greatest of all time.

His routine started with him walking from home to the golf course and ended with him walking back to his home. In between, he would practice his putting, hitting balls, and most notably, play 18 holes twice a day. 

When the PGA Tour posted this on their Instagram, fans were in awe to find how hard working this legend was.
