Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The key to Slammin' Sammy Snead's Better Golf is it's subtitle, The Lessons I've Learned. An Obi-Wan Kenobi of the links, his style is less that of teacher than mentor; in a folksy approach as languid as his swing, he happily shares his knowledge rather than preaching it. In addition to offering sound advice, Snead's book is fun. His anecdotes are as colorful as the bands he traditionally wrapped around his signature straw hats.

5.0 out of 5 stars worth the money - some really good swing thoughts/keys, October 6, 2004
By avarma "avarma" (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
I picked this up in a used bookstore. What attracted me initially was that one heard quite a bit about the 'smoothest' swing in the world belonging to Sam Snead - and other praises - but one almost never hears much about Sam as a teacher.
On leafing through the book - there was an interesting chapter on 'My Swing Keys - things that have worked for me' - and right away that itself made me want to buy the book. The Swing Keys are simple - but more importantly - there are many more gems in this book. It really DOES summarize his life's learnings - and one gets a good idea of why this guy was someone who could take on the likes of Hogan and Nicklaus.
I like to re-read different sections of this book - and learn something new and interesting every time. Example - Snead talks about the 'low and slow' takeaway - and gives the following tip:
Place a second ball behing the club (after addressing the ball you are about to hit). Gently ROLL the second ball away - straight back - This is the way to start the swing! I was floored with that tip - and there are several such gems in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great lesson by Sam Snead, February 6, 2006
Great advices from Sam Snead. Give many simple, clear and useful key thoughts on the essential basics of a sound golf swing. I found the advice of "pulling" the club from the top particular useful for me. Highly recommended for weekend golfers (I'm one of them) who want to build up a simple, smooth and consistent golf swing.
