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. From Library Journal Many hope to retire to a life of golf, but Snead feels no need to retire from his life in golf. He is the winner of 185 professional tournaments, including three Masters, three PA championships, and one British Open. This book reads like a wonderful late-night conversation with an uncle?full of humor, love, and meaningful advice. Snead's entertaining anecdotes shed new light on all the legends of golf like Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan, contemporaries, competitors, and lifelong friends. Golf's most successful player also gives honest reviews of Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods. Snead is best when writing about the game?fairways, greens, clubs, and the virtually religious quest for the perfect swing. Anyone with an appreciation of the game will enjoy this book.
