One of the best swingers of the golf club ever, Sam Snead, was a great of the game. A seven-time major champion, he enjoyed a long and successful career, and he continued to perform at an extremely high level into his old age. In fact, at the age of 67 he matched and then beat his age by a stroke in the 1979 Quad Cities Open on the PGA Tour.
But “Slammin’ Sam” had problems on the greens. In the 1966 PGA Championship, when struggling with the yips he decided to take extreme action. He went to a croquet putting style, standing across the line of his putt and swinging the putter between his legs.
