Acclaim for It’s Only a Game:“Easily the best golf instructional-type book since Harvey Penick’s Little Red Book. . . . This book is a classic.”—Bud Shrake, coauthor Harvey Penick’s Little Red Book“Jackie is a warrior. He is a born competitor who meets every challenge head on, on and off the golf course. His values and integrity are unassailable, as pure as those of any man I've known.”—Ben Crenshaw“This book is pure Jackie, and I hope that from reading it you get some of the fulfillment and enjoyment he’s given to me and others over the years.”—Steve Elkington
