Hogan said Sam doesn't know anything about the golf swing, he just does it better than anyone else

I had the great privilege of watching Sam Snead at the Country Club of Lansing when I caddied there. HE WAS A MIND BLOWING PLAYER!! HE WAS 66 YEARS OLD AND STILL PLAYING THE REGULAR TOUR. Snead played better, longer than anyone else.Sneads only weakness was shirt putting. He had all the other shots. The greatest natural athlete ever to play the tour. I've seen Tiger, Jack, and other luminaries in person. I've never seen anything like the display he put on that day. Like Hogan, Snead only played in the Open championship once. Both men lost time to military service. Both also played in the PGA Championship when it was in a match play format. Sam Sneads game needs no apologies. I know. I saw greatness in the flesh.

Comments like yours ought to be kept for posterity. But how about his hilarious remarks, like: 'The fairways were so narrow, we had to walk up them single file.?

I was fortunate to have gotten to know him. We had a relationship that I was very proud to get to know him. I couldn’t go to the greenbrier if he seen me we had to talk for over hour or more. I was talking one day and it told him about his swing and what he was doing wrong he said I was right then I told him I was going to fix it for him. He told me he had the best instructors their was a they couldn’t fix it why could I do it. Simple I was smarter than they were and I told him how to fix it and he told me if he had known what ink told him he could have won another fifty tournaments. He treated me with so much respect. It was a joy to have known him. ❤

Sam is the greatest golfer of all time with 142 unofficial wins. He was close to 6 foot and a muscular 200 lbs. He was a awesome athlete with a very perfect powerful swing. Just imagine with modern training methods and modern golf equipment how good he would be. 142 wins says it all. H eplayed in a era of many great players.

His swing looks powerful enough as it is you could just transfer him from the past straight into present.

Bobby jones retired at twenty eight years old and went months without touching a club and usually won the tournament, his forty one percent win rate is incredible, Byron Nelson won eighteen tournaments in 45 with a full field, Hogan played 18 tournaments with byron and byron won thirteen of those against ben, sam played the full year. Byron started the next season winning six in a row then at age thirty four he bought a ranch it would've been interesting to see Byron continue to battle hogan through the late 50s. Byron won over fifty tournament and six majors but definitely would've won more. Sam snead to all golf historians is definitely not overlooked he was without a doubt one of the greatest of all time.

I believe Sam Snead was first credited with 89 official PGA wins. In 1989 the PGA Officials and historical analysts went back and evaluated numerous golfers' tournaments and records and did some editing and reevaluation. They reduced the number of wins from Sam Snead. I believe they reduce Gene Sarazen total wins, along with other greats as well. They got to keep the tournament wins. They just decided not to count them as official PGA tournaments. They reduced Sam's official 89 wins down to 81. Then PGA decided to include " The Open" as an official PGA tournament. It went back up to 82. The PGA use to not count the British Open " The Open" as an official PGA tournament. They decided to start counting it as of 1998,'99. ... Many of Sam Sneads devout fans believe Snead's Greenbrier wins should be counted. That would take Sam up to 86 PGSA wins.

Yes, you are correct they did cut down his total, a few I understand but some should have counted. 86 is probably correct.

Saw him for a couple of holes ( god knows why I didn't watch more ? ) at the Bob Hope British Classic at RAC club Epsom in 1980. I have never seen anyone make the game look so easy ! It just looked like the game wasn't that much of a problem to him !

Sam won the 1949 PGA in Richmond Virginia at the old Hermitage course. (Now Belmont) At 10:38 in this video, the Hermitage clubhouse is behind him. (still standing)
