9:20 The tempo, the sound, and the divot are all superb. First iron of the match, and just an absolute peach. I could watch that shot over and over.

Could you imagine these gentleman playing with today's technology !!

Houston is a shithole now .

No roll on that course that day.

I have a set of Hogan and Sneads Clubs in my shed Still in great condition

When I started golf my first set was Jim Ferrier That set never had a sand wedge and our greens were sand so it was chip and run.

Great game thanks Gene

Cotton was one of the first to see Spain and Portugal as future golf paradises

Thanks for posting this. It took ages between shots to set up the cameras, there was lightning, and it contributes to when Sarazen says that’s the finest round he’d seen in his lifetime. Hogan was working it right to left at times, hitting the long fade controlling the balata with wood at 7000 yards at about age fifty something. Incredible skill.

I loved it all. The match , the course , the history , and even the Shell plants ! ... Thanks for this great series !!

Beautiful swings.

I love you daddy

Thanks for posting this! It was fun to watch some of golf's greats play a match like this. ✌🏌⛳❤💯

I wish they would bring these kind of golf back

Great footage 👍🏌🏿‍♂️😊

Strange to watch a video in color of grown adults in 1965, almost all of which have to be passed on. Yet I’m watching it as though it happened. Time is but a construct. One must consider the works of Henry David Thoreau in these moments to define the essence of truth. Are you still reading this nonsense? Good day sir!

Lived near Champions Club in 1981. Heard after Hurricane Katrina you need a bullet proof vest to drive by there today

The Hawk!

I am 64 and remember whaching SWWOG with my grandpa in the sixties. Such a great time to grow up. SWWOG, A COLD 7UP AND VIENNA SAUAGE SANDWICHES WITH Gramps. Great memories.

What was up with the design of that guys walking stick? It looked like it was for picking up trash or cutting a hole or something. I couldn't figure it out.

GREAT MATCH! two legends! there is also a match on youtube from shell's wonderful world of golf between jack nicklaus and sam snead. it was played at pebble beach and is also an ABSOLUTE classic! if you liked this one, the other is just as good. happy viewing!

This was before Democrats forced their "diversity" upon us and killed America.

Hogan post accident still better than 95% of the pros of this era.

Most entertaining golf online 2024

"The Houston Country Club, one of the Lone Star States outstanding tests of golf." Let's not get carried away. I'm not sure it's one of the outstanding tests in Houston, let alone Texas.

50'45". That's poetry is that.

Snead had a really powerful build, hyper athlete. Hogan was pure perfect technique

Drones have nothing on production. Always love these matches.

$50k in todays dollars at stake ☠ compare vs the "match" with Tiger vs phil (2018) at $9mm winner take all

These guys were golf hustlers, living out of there cars....what a life. 2000 was a lot of money! Look at the crowds! Look how nice everyone dressed.

What a time to be alive, Not like now.

two of the greatest natural swings of the 20th century.

I wish i was there, to teach him how to putt 😊

Two of the greatest players alltime, but pretty average putters..

Great to see pro golfers hitting more than a nine iron into the green. Also great to the Squire Gene Sarazen!

Gene looks as wide as he is tall...

THIS, is what the internet was invented for.

This could be from another planet, wonderful stuff, what happened to us ?

Watching this video , it’s ironic that one of the greatest golfers of all time wouldn’t be allowed to play this course due to his colour. Tiger would be able to be a fore caddie or a locker room attendant or perhaps work in maintenance. 1965 wasn’t a great time in the U.S. if you were black or Hispanic. Like baseball, you have to wonder how many talented black players were prevented from participating.

This is sick

is anyone putting his way these days?

I like watching these matches better than tournaments

The US Open is the national championship of the USA & is played in June on a different course every year. Keep in mind technology has always lowered scores and before 1960 players were not allowed to clean the ball on the green. Consider the following: From 1934 to 1961 Ben Hogan played in 21 opens & finished with a score of under 290 in 15 of them for a .714%. From 1960 to 1986 Jack Nicklaus played in 27 opens & was under 290 18 times for a .667%. From 1997 to 2020 Tiger Woods played in 20 opens & was under 290 13 times for a .650%. Hogan won 5 times on 5 different courses including the 1942 Hale American National Open (the war time substitute for the cancelled US Open), Nicklaus won 4 times on 3 different courses & Woods won 3 times on 3 different courses.

Such wonderful relaxed and natural swings! I love their hand and arm action, classic. They built men sturdy back then, those conditions looked absolutely brutal.

You had to be very precise with the old school equipment..when you also factor their ages they played well..

I was at Costco today looking at 200llb woman with tattoos and blue hair and men with sleeve tattoos and earrings….i hotfooted back to my Country Club here in SWFL and put this on….I’m not old(53) but this reminds me of being young watching golf and baseball with my grandparents in the 70’sand 80’s they gave me my first set of clubs when I started playing and the World seemed more traditional then…

Thanks Rye!

I could only imagine them playing today with our equipment and courses...SMH

What is that theme music at the beginning ?

What a great match in tough weather
