The One and Only Sam Snead

Even today, 68 years after bursting onto the national scene, Sam Snead remains the standard. He was the winner of seven major championships, a seven-time member of the U.S. Ryder Cup team, and an original member of the World Golf Hall of Fame.

Until today, though, few people could truly say that they knew Sam. Al Barkow, veteran golf reporter and recipient of the 2005 PGA Lifetime Achievement Award in Journalism, has written the definitive biography of one of the greatest golfers of all time.

Sam: The One and Only Sam Snead is not only a peek behind the mask, but an arresting look into the life of one of the game’s most engaging yet enigmatic figures.

“…it’s a story of Sam he would never tell himself, but one that needs to be told. It will enrich the memory of him for those who knew him and saw him play and give him a presence he deserves.” — Jack Burke Jr.
