About this title

Synopsis

"On my first trip to the Masters, my father, Ray, told me, 'Sit in the bleachers behind the practice area and watch Sam Snead swing.' It was great advice." -- Tom Watson "Sam has a swing for all ages. Golfers will always be trying to copy and learn it." -- Jack Nicklaus "There will never be another Sam Snead." -- Tom Kite Over the past fifty years Sam Snead's name has been synonymous with winning in golf. And in Better Golf the Sam Snead Way, Sam finally reveals all of the inner secrets and tips that have made him one of the all-time greats. Throughout the book, Snead interweaves terrific anecdotes about all the top golfers he's known and played with over the years, providing personal insights into their strengths, weaknesses, and how they rank with the all-time best-including Ben Hogan, Jimmy Demaret, Jack Nicklau.s, Arnie Palmer, Greg Norman, Seve Ballesteros, and dozens more. Never before has Snead been so honest and forthright about the biggest players in the game, and it makes for fascinating reading. You'll also learn Snead's tricks of the trade when it comes to developing the right grip, learning how to putt efficiently, digging out of traps, playing a course properly, and everything else you'll need to make your game the best it can be. And it's all presented in an easy-to-implement style with step-by-step photographs of Sam showing you the ropes.
