Snead made golf look easy with his silky-smooth swing, and he
played the game at an elite level longer than any other golfer. His
accomplishments were phenomenal: a PGA Tour record of eighty-one
career victories, including Greensboro at age fifty-two; seven
major championships, including three Master's titles and three PGA
Championships; a round of 59 in 1959 at age forty-six; and
induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Snead was perhaps the
sport's most graceful and limber champion. Together with Ben Hogan
and Byron Nelson, who also were born in 1912, Snead formed what
arguably was golf's greatest triumvirate of competitors. These
three men nearly dominated golf for much of the 1940s and well into
the 1950s. Even past the age of seventy, Snead battled his way onto
leader boards against men a generation younger than he. He was a
star attraction for many years on a Senior PGA Tour he helped
pioneer. When Snead passed away in May 2002, he left behind a life
filled with stirring accomplishments as well as stunning
heart-breaks. I Remember Sam Snead includes detailed reminiscences
of Slammin's Sammy"" as told by dozens of the players and people
who knew him, including Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player,
Lee Trevino, Chi Chi Rodriguez, Fuzzy Zoeller, early tour days
traveling companion Johnny Bulla, and many other friends and golf
writers.""
