Free Game I Love Ebooks To Download
Short of actually inventing the sport, Sam Snead has done more for golf than anyone else who ever swung a club. Over the course of a spectacular career that began in 1936--Snead, now eighty-five, still swings like a champion--the man who has won more tournaments than any golfer in history not only perfected the playing of the game, but helped make it an American institution.In The Game I Love, Snead mixes expert advice on golf with unforgettable anecdotes. Acclaimed for his personality as much as for his professionalism, Snead shares the priceless strategies that helped to shape his success (and now yours), including instructions on the swing, wisdom on putting, and insight on the all important mental game.If you're looking for pointers from the master on crushing drives down the fairway or just having more fun on the course, this is an absolute must for your golfing library.

It's hard to remember back to the era when golfers were assumed to be gentleman, no scandal, no inappropriate behaviour, just great golf. His career included everyone from Cary Middlecoff and Arnold Palmer to a nascent Tiger Wood. (by then he was not playing but his comments on the, then, phenom, have a validity that only now have proved to be true.) He was a gentle man, a man who believed in dignity and respect. He also believed in the rules of golf and played not with them but to them. His triumphs are many and in a quiet way he mentions them. Basically anecdotal, they knit themselves together in a comfortable string that carries the reader down the fairways, into the traps and out of the water hazards that he and those who played with him knew. This is not a "and then I won" sort of book, it's pleasant reflection by a man who knew the game and how to play. His kind no longer exists which is a great sorrow. The book exists as a pleasant memory of a good and wise man who has the humility to tell it well and completely.
Slammin' Sam. What a guy. The book is worth the price and the time but I do wish Mr. Snead had actually written it himself. For instance, it is mentioned several times that he liked to tell off-color jokes. Okay, but how about giving us an example! But no. This is pretty much a book published to make a buck off of a man's name without taking the time and effort to produce something that allows us to understand the man himself. A discussion with Sam about how he practiced and why would have been interesting. However, there are quite a few things that made me smile and the part about Hogan getting "Player of the Year" in 1950 when Snead thought he was much more deserving (he was). Sam was honest about many things and I found those tid-bits worth the effort.
Book is great. Snead is best player ever. Better than Hogan, Woods or Nicklaus. Any club or teaching pro who disagrees isn't worth his weight in salt.
This is a fun book that covers the life and career of the Great Sam Snead. It is an easy read that hard to put down. Any fan of golf will want to read this.
This is a very good book. I think that everyone can learn something from Sam's book.
