Greats of the Game: Sam Snead

Simon Holmes look back at the life, career and swing of golfing legend Sam Snead

[@zacharyfox9389]

I wonder if this guy realizes Snead grew up in Virginia and not West Virginia. He became the pro at the Greenbrier in WV that’s all. He grew up in Bath County by the Homestead.

I went to the Homestead and ate at Sam Sneads. If he was actually born in WV I was going to False Advertising! Lol

Snead and Hogan hit it only as far as they needed to, It was said that sometimes Hogan would hold back on purpose on his tee shot so he would be away so he could hit first and stick it close to intimidate his opponents . Not sure but it definitely would be something the Hawk would be capable of for sure.

Jason Marks not really. earlier in his career, Snead often swung out of his shoes because he often got paired with other big hitters to draw galleries

[@Chendoart]

He even won a ladies tournament 🤣😂. Bet Tiger's never done that

[@hickorytrickory9944]

Hogan a hard snappy swing ? Snead not ? this guy does not know what he is talking about. Both Hogan and Snead had the same length of swing and speed.

[@mudddge]

Hickory Trickory Snead was always longer than Hogan
