Sam Snead is known as the golfer with the greatest swing in the history of the game.Here his famous swing is captured in a series of action photographs that give you a close-up look at each important stage of the motion. "If you are having trouble breaking 100,it is mostly in your head, not in your aim," is Snead's introduction to psychological side of golf.The "week-end golfer's" difficulties - erratic putting,poor chip shots,topped shots,slicing and all the rest - are analysed by Snead,and the main points of his analysis are then set down in chart form.He shows the importance of blue-printing and planning your round and how to gain complete confidence in yourself and your ability to play a better,more leisurely game.You get expert guidance on the three most vital phases of the game - the grip,the stance and the swing - as well as a description of each type of club,its purpose,advantages and disadvantages,swing weights,shaft lengths and grips,always written with the average golfer well in mind.All through this friendly and helpful book the emphasis is upon developing a natural easy-going style.Sam Snead is perhaps the greatest winner in the annals of golf competition,for he has scored over 100 tournament victories since he began his career in 1937,and has taken the Vardon Trophy,which goes annually to the golfer with the lowest scoring average over the entire year,no less than four times.He has been in many Ryder Cup teams.Yet,for all this,there is never a hint of strain in the way he plays golf and his object in writing this book is to show you how to play the game in the same relaxed way.
