Being that this is the week that the PGA Tour stops in Greensboro, Sam Snead comes to mind. He won eight times in Greensboro, still a PGA record.
Snead was described as having had a perfect golf swing, and indeed, in his younger days, he could drive the ball 300 yards off of the tee -- and that was long before high-tech 460cc drivers and modern three piece golf balls, all built with space-age materials. Self-taught, Snead's swing was a thing of beauty to watch, and his philosophy on how to do it priceless:

I'm going to go hit some balls barefoot today. I can't wait for others to ask me what I'm doing. I will tell them, "Following some advice I got from Sam Snead."
ReplyDeleteGreat video. I will use it as I try to become a single handicap.

I am still astonished Sam could kick the top of a 7 foot doorway up until he was seventy years old. I couldn't do that at 17,27,37 or any seven.
