    This review is from: Shell's Wonderful World Of Golf: Hogan Vs. Snead [VHS] (VHS Tape)
    This video not only brings back the memory of two of the worlds greatest golfers of all time, but reminds me of the consistancy and longevity of these two titans. Before there was Palmer, Nicklaus, or Earl Wood had a gleam in his eye, these two prowled the circut along with Lord Byron and dominated the sport for almost two decades. When this video was shot, Hogan was basically putting the finishing touches on his career, yet would still particpate in majors and some charity events till the end of the 60's. Snead however would continue to play the circut, and would be instrumental in developing the Seniors circut we see today. This video is well worth the price just to see the two go at it for 18, (Hogan never played a match just for fun) and while Houston CC is a fairly wide open venue, it still is a competitive course. By the way Hogan hits all 18 in regulation. The video is a little goofy at the beginning talking about the evolution of Houston and its future but all in all a fun trip for those of us who remember the two or any younger folks who truly want to see two of the most contrasting yet finest swings ever.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great look at Hogan playing, January 17, 2007
    This review is from: Shell's Wonderful World Of Golf: Hogan Vs. Snead [VHS] (VHS Tape)
    If you are a big Hogan fan this is definitely worth getting. There are not many places where you can actually see Ben hitting shots and playing golf other than this. Ben hits all 14 fairways and 18 greens during this match and with a little better putting could have shot a really low score. Much is made about Ben playing a fade but on the first hole been hits a draw driver and a draw iron into the green. He basically played whatever the hole called for. This is a real classic match and a must see for Ben Hogan or Sam Snead fans.

    5.0 out of 5 stars As stated on the video-sleeve:, April 19, 2006
    This review is from: Shell's Wonderful World Of Golf: Hogan Vs. Snead [VHS] (VHS Tape)
    The PGA Tour Presents - SHELL'S Wonderful World of Golf: Classic Golf Matches from Around the World. Hogan vs. Snead. Houston Country Club - Houston, Texas. Aired February 21,1965

    A classic match with a bonus... tips from Hogan and Snead!

    Considered by many to be the best golfer of all time, Ben Hogan is probably best remembered for his diligent work ethic and search for perfection. Driven by the desire to win, Hogan's first tour victory came in 1940. From 1946-48 he won 32 times, including three major titles. A near-fatal car crash in 1949 almost ended his career, but Hogan's determination never faltered as he mounted a spectacular comeback in the 50's, winning six more championships.

    To his first tour win in 1937 Sam Snead added more than 100 additional worldwide victories over the next four decades. A founding member of the Senior Tour, Sam continued winning even into the 1980's. His record is only part of what makes him legendary. With one of the most admired and natural golf swings the game has ever seen and an easy-going attitude to match, Sam Snead is undoubtedly one of golf's greatest players.

    Houston Country Club's generous fairways are forgiving off the tee, but to shoot low, precise iron shots to the giant elevated greens are a must. This was an ideal venue for the historical 18-hole match between two masters of the game, Ben Hogan and Sam Snead. Hogan proved this by hitting every fairway and every green in regulation.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Very dissapointed
    My VHS tape sound was terrible. It sounded like a motorboat on the sound track. The sound is so annoying it has to be turned off to view the tape. Read more
