Golfers all over the world, and particularly those of mature age, have long longed to emulate the fluent flow of the Sam Snead swing. For all the attention paid to the game’s top players and prolific money-earners, Snead retains a niche all of his own, although he had his sixty-seventh birthday last month. No top golfer has made the game look easier. So even the keen youngsters of today will welcome a reprint of a 1975 publication, Sam Snead’s Book of Golf (Stanley Paul, 178 pp; $16.05). For Snead’s explanation of a complex game, written with the assistance of Larry Sheehan, is as simple and easy to follow as it is to appreciate Snead’s own graceful method. It is an attractivelypresented book, and the many illustrations are as straightforward as the text. This reprint can be thoroughly recommended to players of all ages, handicaps and ambitions.
