Limited Edition Sam Snead Bronze Hands, Sculptor by Paul Kamish.
In 1998 Sam’s son, Jack Snead, asked me if I would be interested to do a life-cast of Sam’s grip holding the golf club. I agreed to do that and spent an afternoon at Sam’s house in Fort Pierce Florida doing the life-cast of his grip. It was a great experience for me.
Samuel Jackson Snead (May 27, 1912 – May 23, 2002) was an American
professional golfer
who was one of the top players in the world for most of four decades. Snead won a record 82
PGA Tour
events including seven
majors
. He failed to win a
U.S. Open
, though he was runner-up four times.
Snead's nickname was "Slammin' Sammy." He was admired by many for having the so-called "perfect swing," and generated many imitators. Snead was famed for his folksy image, wearing a straw hat, playing
tournaments
barefoot, and making such statements as "Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt."[1] He was inducted into the
World Golf Hall of Fame
in 1974, and received the
PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award
in 1998.
