Sam Snead
Those who go along get along.
Sam Snead
I give the ball some sweet talk. I tell it that this isn't going to hurt a bit. I'm a friend and all I'm going to do is give it a nice little ride.
Sam Snead
Just have a Coke or something and watch the boys go past.
Sam Snead
'You know Bobby, when I was your age I'd drive the ball right over those trees at the corner.' Feeling challenged Mr. Cole hit a big driver right into those big trees. Snead then said 'Of course, when I was your age, those trees were only 10 feet high.'
Sam Snead
The only place that's holier than St. Andrews is Westminster Abbey.
