Sam Snead is known as the golfer with the greatest swing in the history of the game.Here his famous swing is captured in a series of action photographs that give you a close-up look at each important stage of the motion. "If you are having trouble breaking 100it is mostly in your headnot in your aim" is Snead's introduction to psychological side of golf.The "week-end golfer's" difficulties - erratic puttingpoor chip shots topped shotsslicing and all the rest - are analysed by Snead and the main points of his analysis are then set down in chart form.He shows the importance of blue-printing and planning your round and how to gain complete confidence in yourself and your ability to play a bettermore leisurely game.You get expert guidance on the three most vital phases of the game - the gripthe stance and the swing - as well as a description of each type of clubits purposeadvantages and disadvantages swing weightsshaft lengths and gripsalways written with the average golfer well in mind.All through this friendly and helpful book the emphasis is upon developing a natural easy-going style. Sam Snead is perhaps the greatest winner in the annals of golf competitionfor he has scored over 100 tournament victories since he began his career in 1937and has taken the Vardon Trophywhich goes annually to the golfer with the lowest scoring average over the entire yearno less than four times.He has been in many Ryder Cup teams.Yetfor all thisthere is never a hint of strain in the way he plays golf and his object in writing this book is to show you how to play the game in the same relaxed way.

1997réf. 16573Westminster Maryland U.S.A.: Ballantine Books 1997. Splendid copy. As new. Boldly inscribed across the front endpaper in black marker by Sam Snead .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.

Autograph document in Arabic. 8vo. 1 p. Accompanied by the first published account of Slatin's escape: 3 consecutive issues of the Pall Mall Gazette, 23-25 April 1895 (42 x 37 cm each). Wrapped as a parcel within a bifolium of the Times, inscribed "Slatin Bey's Escape" by Sir Reginald Wingate. An archive of first-hand contemporary documents concerning the escape of Slatin Pasha (Major-General Rudolf Anton Carl Freiherr von Slatin, 1857-1932), who was held prisoner for eleven long years by the Mahdi Muhammad Ahmad and his successor. The material was assembled by General Sir Reginald Wingate of the Egyptian Intelligence Department, who facilitated the escape and assisted on the perilous three-week, thousand-kilometre journey across the Nubian desert to Aswan, Egypt. "Probably the most famous European in the history of the Sudan, this Austrian survived as a captive of the Mahdi from 1883 until his escape to Egypt in 1895. His knowledge of the Sudan and its people was unrivalled and after the re-conquest he was appointed Inspector-General, second in authority only to the Governor-General, Reginald Wingate, of whom he was a great personal friend" (H. Keown-Boyd, Soldiers of the Nile [1996], p. 174). - The archive includes an Arabic document presumed to be written by Slatin Pasha (1 p. on thick handmade paper, 16 x 25 cm). Any writing by Slatin Pasha in Arabic is exceedingly scarce. Also, Slatin Pasha's first published account of his captivity and escape in Sudan, in three consecutive "Special Edition" issues of London's Pall Mall Gazette newspapers, preceding his book "Fire and Sword in the Sudan" by an entire year. Dated 23, 24, 25 April 1895 respectively, each contains 1 of 3 parts of Slatin's account entitled "The Story of My Flight". Each issue measures 42 x 37 cm. Wear to extremities and folds, otherwise very good. A scarce contemporary report, complete and in original condition. - Wrapped together within contemporary leaves of the Times, forming a parcel and inscribed by Sir Reginald Wingate "Slatin Bey's Escape", addressed in his secretary's hand to "Miss Campbell, Cawley Priory" - evidently a close friend or relative of Slatin's who Wingate thought would appreciate knowledge of his safety as soon as possible.
