Snead, along with Trevino, Tom Watson, and even up to Payne had swings that (while they may not have intended it) were built to last. A LOT less stress on the body than the modern swing. These modern golfers like Jason Day, Will Zalatoris, and to some extent, Tiger Woods don't have swings that will take them into their 50s. Tiger lasted amazingly long considering how much stress his golf swing put on his left leg and back. All these new kids that bomb it, just my 0.02, but that type of swing can't make it 15-20 years. They play for a 10 year peak career. Again just my 0.02

The Masters changed the greens drastically in the early 80’s, not sure about Pebble. Permissible green speed should be related to contour imo. The steady backwards movement of the 18th tee over the years (Augusta) is interesting to note and reflects the evolution of the modern ball and equipment and subsequent course lengthening. Seems pointless really and I’m with Gary Plater on this issue. But golf club and ball manufacturers will always strive to create equipment to enable golfers to hit the ball further.

After the war, he put it away and went along successfully with his life. This isn’t a guy who shows himself off any and seems to have an excess of humility. He was definitely lucky to be from a patriotic small town where he got a lot of support. I really think that if all of our soldiers had been able to come back to the open arms of the rest of America, lots of guys would be more like Ernie.

Professionals strive to keep things simple, whilst many amateurs go the other way. As for J.N., if my life depended on the success of a putt he'd be my player of choice.

that close up of Jack's ball in the trap was amazing,, I haven't seen a small dimple Blata DX Tourney Golf Ball in 45 years

I love watching these and thank Shell for making and saving history with the production of these matches. I like how Jack just went to the pro shop and picked up a hat before the match. I can't imagine that happening today with all the endorsements and logos these guys get paid to wear.

Now this was worth seeing for sure! I'd love to see today's PRO GOLFERS play a tournament with the old clubs and balls. Just once! Also Jack at 23 already sure seemed a lot older than that here and Sam showed at 50 he still had his short game!

In 1998, 4 top pros played with Bobby Jones era wooden shafts, they didn't break 90 and marked their ball on the green something jones couldn't do. He still set records around the world with sub par rounds. 13 majors and retired at age 28. He won 47% of tournaments he entered.

This is the first time that I had seen Sam Snead play in a round of golf. Loved watching the young Nicklaus and that old Pebble Beach course. What a special treat. A wonderful production. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I got to know Sam he was a very funny person. We got along in a way I could never imagine he would see me and we had to talk for a while and we talk about anything. His friendship was very special to me

Snead’s swing has to be one of the best ever. He swung the club so effortlessly and generated tremendous power.

This was brilliant in every way. Amazing coverage, amazing shots, amazing legends. Pebble looked so great... I'm coming back to watch this so many more times.

Sam won his first tour event in 36(he's 51 here), Jack his last in 86 (Masters of course). Sam was second in the LA Open in 74!(he was 61)

10-15 years ago I don't think you could have paid me to sit and watch this.... Today, I'm thanking my lucky stars that I get to watch it for FREE! 🍿

Remarkable that Jack was driving a balata ball 300 yards with a wooden driver. Such power, he would have been one of todays longest hitters on tour with that swing no doubt.

I literally enjoyed this more than anything I have seen in golf in a LONG time. (other than Tiger at the 19 Masters, of course) This was awesome... we should have more of these kinds of special matches. Who wouldn't want to see that?

Simply beautiful! Well done!

This is AMAZING.. we need many more of these!

Talk about a golden era. Folks actually dress up to watch a golf match. Great replay. I bumped into and watched the whole thing. Thanks...

Really annoying tbh.

My god this looks footage good... and 2 masters going at it on one of the most storied golf courses in the world. absolutely mesmerizing.

Wow, that was fun to watch. Two all-time greats going toe-to-toe. And color commentary by Gene Sarazen. 😀👍

@@stevereaves6757 In 1963? Being raised by a dad who was Director of Golf at a private CC in 1963, I remember most of the shafts in the pro shop being True Temper SS. Here's a little info from the web: In 1929, True Temper developed the first seamless tapered step-down shaft. This technique allowed them to decrease the outside diameter of the shaft by creating a step-down design which tapered to fit into the club-head. This design helped create different shaft flexes for the golfers' individual needs. In 1980, the Dynamic Gold shaft by True Temper was introduced to the market. This has been a phenomenally successful shaft and is still popular with club makers and manufacturers today. Since the mid 80's, graphite has made great advancements and is generally the shaft of choice in woods today, but steel currently holds the reigns on irons. The last statement may be the choice of the pros, but graphite shaft irons are what the common person (the weekend hacker) would use today.

Incredible. Thank you for posting this - I'd never seen the legendary Sam Snead play before!

I feel privileged to have seen two greats of the game in this remastered film. Jack will always be my hero, an unbelievable golfer and a true gentleman. ⛳💙

If only the people who do the PGA highlights could learn from this :) Absolutely awesome...they should make every player use a 1 iron, nothing like seeing a crushed low 1 iron.

I'm so glad they also included the original comments. I was afraid to have a post game interview by Amanda Balionis! Fantastic restoration and editing job on both image and sound. Changing B&W to colors is one thing, but improving the definition of an original while keeping it vintage is another level. I wonder how long it takes to do that and how many resources are needed.
