Review

Whether or not Sam Snead sits atop the leader board as golf's greatest is no gimme, but there's no question about his ability to communicate. His storytelling was always as much a part of his game as his smooth, melodic swing, and he tells wonderful stories in The Game I Love. In the tradition of Harvey Penick's bestselling series, Snead's book is a slim volume that affably blends advice with anecdote, swing thought with strategy: on that level alone, the book is nothing if not useful and engaging. What makes it uniquely fun, though, is its clever bottom-of-the-page photo feature; flip quickly through the book and you can see the Snead swing--as graceful as the game has ever produced--in all its glory, and that fills The Game I Love with poetry as well.
