The restoration of this footage is incredible!
Lets's pray they do this with every last one! esp. Snead Hogan at Houston. Probably using AI .
@@tightmf Agree. It would be amazing if they could restore all the old Shell matches.
Yes indeed, if only the 'cut' footage could somehow be found and restored too - for example the Hogan v Snead match, in colour from 1965, only contains about 9 holes, to make room for various things about Shell, and, presumably, adverts. Could someone with influence please have a look for the missing film, it may be easy to find in a warehouse somewhere !
This was shot on film and that is how they could restore it. They did a good job on this.
@@fairwarning4267 Was there another way to shoot in the 60s? Candid question I really don't know for sure, I just assume there wasn't and I know for sure there was no digital recording :)
Sam Snead’s swagger on the golf course was unparalleled
Uh tiger woods? 😂
True. That sort of confidence can really help your game. Being arrogant enough to never feel pressure to rush and never worry about what other players are thinking can allow you to really focus on your own game.
George Knudson dressed pretty well himself.
@@Jonathan-cz4ky Lol no.
@@chasejordan9295 lay off the drugs
i love how there is a dog running around with the gallery
I DO TOO!
That is silly having a dog running around on the course, especially when they poo.
I was 14 years of age in 1963 and loved watching the PGA Tour on television, featuring Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, "The Golden Bear", etc. I remember seeing a lot of Sam Snead also. This video is like gold to any real golf fan. It's beautiful. Thank you so much for posting this.
The history of Golf was so intertwined with white American culture ( back than ) . It was no accident that it fit into the higher levels of society so tightly.
@@terrenceolivido741 And in 2024 golf is still intertwined with 'white American Culture'. Some 'color' has found it's way into the game of golf, but make no mistake, it's STILL a white man's game in America and elsewhere.
They were crushing their drives back then! 270 yards on slow fairways, wound ball and persimmon woods. Amazing golf!
Clubhead speed correctly applied cannot be denied :-)
I can only imagine the distances they would have had with today's equipment.
also using old golf balls, not that Titleist pro V1 rubbish
@@robertdore9592...yeah wonder what the COR is for a persimmon driver, and how about the mind blowing distance capability of a balata golf ball.
@@bruceferguson6637 atleast 40 yards further with titanium and a prov1 compared to the equipment. Jack would have probably lead the tour in driving distance if a 30 year old jack played in 2020.
This is truly tremendous content. Please give us more of these classic matches remastered!!
We are here to help.
Wonderful to see the course conditions and the equipment! I had a set of those black ceramic McGregors that Jack is using. More, please!
@hanajinks Hate to break this to you, but the entire world now runs on advertising/marketing junk to idiots and making them think they need it all. The President of the Unites States is himself a tv celebrity businessman.
@hanajinks wow I forgot there were ads on youtube. I have subscribed to google music for years and get premium for free which offers youtube Premium that has NO ads ever at all. The best deal in the cookie cutter streaming music services is google music with this free no advertisement ad on. no i don't work for google.
@hanajinks well of course they are producing content to generate revenues through ads. Business 101. I despise ads and never watch them. Ever. only watch DVR live TV at later date to fast forward through them. Well the masters is the exception live. super bowl sure they are half of the event but other than that nope sorry. netflix yup no ads.
Please PGA, keep doing these. These are such great ways to keep PGA history alive and special in the midst of everything today. Thanks for this great look back at history!
Are we gonna talk about how Jack was hitting balls almost 300 yards consistently with 60 year old equipment. That is some MAJOR power
Yeah if Jack was in his prime today people would be saying Tiger who?
@@CRAZYHORSE19682003 lol no they wouldn’t
@@Nuggetsin4 Yea they would, Tiger would have been one of those decent golfers who won a few tournaments.
@@CRAZYHORSE19682003 lol you’re high if you think so
@@Nuggetsin4 I am willing to bet you never saw Jack play live. There is something called recency bias and I think that is what you have. Tiger isn't half the player Jack was. Jack wouldn't be intimidated by him. In addition to having the most Major championship victories at 18, he has 19 runner ups in majors. He has 56 top-five finishes in majors. That's 23 more than Woods, who is second best on the list.
Tiger got a lot of hype but in their primes Jack was FAR more dominant than Tiger was.
Gene Sarazen, "I've been coming here since 1923"! Nearly a century of golf and this HD remaster made it look like a contemporary match. It was a joy to watch. Thank you!
“That’s before Jack Nicklaus was even born”
Yeah that’s crazy
It's a real shame Sarazen didn't pull some clubs out and make it a threeball.
Sarazen always wore his plus fours for this show.
The caddies just smokin a dart lmao. I love it. This is amazing content.
camelCase go back to the hood millennial
@@justthetip9228ok boomer
Many of the PGA pros smoked cigs when I first started watching them on TV. Then again there were lots of ads for tobacco products back then. Many doctors smoked in front of patients! It was a different time for sure.
it was a cigar.
Is it just me or was television much higher quality back then. And I don’t mean resolution, but the content is much higher quality. The announcers are pure class
It's because these modern networks have an agenda. They want to control the narrative of what you think.
@@ryanu3708 Also, many people listened over the radio, so they are also more detailed about what is happening.
@@ryanu3708 you're woke
They cutting different cameras too much now. Let the frame breathe
I don’t like how today’s announcers scream and shout at every little thing
The Vivid restoration on this film is incredible... what a treasure
Magnificent. Amazing how good Sam was still at 50 years old.
In 1971 PGA, sam finished 3rd. He was 61 i think. Amazing.
Sam is the greatest of all time , his first golf club was a tree branch as he was a poor West Virginia boy growing up.
or 62.
Agreed and it's crazy how a 1963 23-year old looks like a 2021 40 year old. That's wild how modern medicine and info on nutrition has changed how we Americans age.
@@ag358 It was the 1974 PGA, and Snead was 62 at the time.
Sam Snead's swing was just a thing of beauty.
Syrupy.
Yep. If I were granted the wish of selecting one swing from the Library of Swings I would choose Sam's. Many would choose one of Tiger's many swings, some Dustin's, etc. But Sam's swing never changed. It was built for a lifetime.
I went to USMC basic training with his grandson. Our SDI was a big golfer and, one day, got a package. Inside was a pack of signed golfballs from none other than the legend himself.
Apparently his grandson passed years ago :-(
@@michaelzdanis3979 I would choose Ben Hogan's. Easy pick...
Snead was a full 30 years older than Nicklaus in this match. It's astonishing for a 52 year old man to possess a swing like that, evidently physically fit without debilitating back and knee injuries. No surgeries and long recoveries. Just amazing.
he is seriously remarkably good. i would love to see his talent play todays game
SNEED IS THE GOAT 82 wins last at 52…… where is ELDRIDGE NOW…. Back in court with some zugly chick
Great athlete and obv great golfer
Snead, along with Trevino, Tom Watson, and even up to Payne had swings that (while they may not have intended it) were built to last. A LOT less stress on the body than the modern swing. These modern golfers like Jason Day, Will Zalatoris, and to some extent, Tiger Woods don't have swings that will take them into their 50s. Tiger lasted amazingly long considering how much stress his golf swing put on his left leg and back. All these new kids that bomb it, just my 0.02, but that type of swing can't make it 15-20 years. They play for a 10 year peak career. Again just my 0.02
Also no processed and fast food in his diet for someone of his generation. Also didn’t attribute a good chunk of his athletic battery to working out just TO stay fit. There is a balance.
35:40 “he’s gonna play it safe with a 1 iron”
Reminds me of the one about how to protect yourself from lightning on the golf course - according to Lee Trevino: "You pull out your one iron, and hold it over your head". "What?" says his caddie. Trevino: "Not even god can hit a one iron".
Check out kyle berkshire who hits his 300+ yards
Patrick Villeneuve not to mention those woods, much tougher game back then clubs went virtually no where and lacked any forgiveness
@@rBlake Yeah you had to know how to Golf Your Ball back then. I am Blessed I started at the end years of the Ballata/Persimmon era, and played well up to the coming of the Callaway Big Bertha, I played with a fella who had one of those, I took out that Persimmon Driver/ballata ball and had the Pleasure of blowing it by that Big Headed/Bozo the Clown looking Driver. I looked at a big driver, new club tonight at the Golf shop, I thought how do people Play with these things, Head was so light you could not even Feel it. I do not like the modern stuff at all, can you tell? I wish they would have 1 throwback tournament a Year on today's PGA Tour, where they used Persimmon/Ballata, I even think most of the Players would go for it, but that is just my Idea.
@@chubeviewer It's not straight, hence why he isn't winning events
You know your legendary when you can say.... That"s the old par 3, before they ask me to design the new one"
LOL
That was the funniest thing I heard today!
That was absolutely amazing to watch! They actually did a better job laying out the holes and strategy than modern broadcasts. Really wish there was a “re-mastered” Masters from the 60’s to watch this weekend! PLEASE PLEASE restore more of this vintage footage and release it for us golf nerds! I’m in my 30’s and can’t get enough of this!
The announcing then was much, much better. It isn't close.
This was specific to shells world of golf as welll
I thought this footage would be harder to follow and it was even better lol
@@Dave-lr2wo I totally agree! Rogers and Sarazen were wonderfully knowledgeable and entertaining. Way ahead of today's commentators.
Why hasn't some golf Network thought of this imagine how good of a tv show this would be.
Random Old Masters with commentary from the old Champs
I love how well behaved the fans are. No one yelling "GO IN THE HOLE" for every shot.
it’s amazing to see how classy and well mannered the people in the background are. what a beautiful polite society this was
agreed! I was at the 2014 open, and a fan was on 7 yelling at every shot, and finally Ian Poulter got so upset he was yelling at this fan to be thrown out. The fan was eventually escorted out.
@@steviechampagne yeah, society has not turned for the better, but gone after greed.
Nobody using their phones either. Instead enjoying an experience with their own eyes without any distractions.
@@dj71162 Yeah, cell service was notoriously bad in '63, lol.
One reason I like watching these old videos is that it totally debunks all these swing mechanic gurus, like these dudes just smacked the ball more or less in a way that they could personally replicate and it worked for them. Sure this style may not translate into being the best player today, but you can ride that train to being a really good golfer.
Amen
I was surprised to hear they were hitting the ball 270-300 in those conditions and with that equipment.
We need more of these remastered, colour Shell’s classic matches please!!! This is priceless!!
marv1984 ppppppp
@@josephszewczyk6163 I guess it was Gene Sarazin that was commentating, that was also cool to see
Who wishes we still had Shell’s wonderful world of golf?
I do, I do, they did revive it back in the 1990's and those are great also. Jack N. beats Johnny Miller in one of them.
@@ksharpe10 That was at the Olympic Club in San Francisco
@@A-FrameWedge That is where the LPGA is playing for their 1st time Woman's Open. Great. Thanks.
@@ksharpe10 If I remember correctly Nicklaus just trashed Miller in that match.
Look and listen to the spectators in the gallery. Men wearing suits and ties. Women wearing dresses. Soldiers wearing dress uniforms. And no jackasses yelling “Baba Louie!” or “Mashed Potato!” This was back when golf truly was a gentleman’s game.
Also, Jack is without exception, the greatest golfer in the game’s history. His record proves it. If Tiger couldn’t match it, no one will; at least not in my lifetime.
And Sam Snead is among the very best to players to ever walk a fairway.
Jack Nicklaus at 23 looks like my 60 year old father right now.
He kind of looks like goldfinger
He looks pretty good for a 80 year old nowadays though
I was thinking the same thing. Sam Snead was two years older than I am now in this video and he looks like he could be my dad and Jack looks like he is about 35ish instead of 23. Times were different then.
Avionic bad genes happen. Sorry to hear.
😂
Can't imagine how many memories Nicklaus has, not just golf but his whole life. Amazing man.
The quality of the restoration is exceptional. Great stuff. I love watching the legends of a different era. They ooze class.
Nicklaus: "If I had one round of golf to play and I could play it anywhere, I'd go to Pebble Beach." Quite a statement from the GOAT, who's also designed hundreds of courses.
The second GOAT
Technology of the time and Nicklaus still smashed one 290 plus yards. With today's technology would have gone 350.
@@secondstring most majors wins the GOAT title. that's just reality. I have no problem with your opinion though...
290 yards with those balls is unbelievable
Wonder what was the spin rate of driver back then.
And those persimmon drivers.
Yeah, I don't really believe the numbers they say on these broadcasts. I've seen long drive competitors hit those old balls and drivers and don't get 290. No way these dudes are doing it on course, with half swings.
Pebble is notorious for 30mph or more wind gusts. With the right conditions you could do that even with persimmon wood and an old balata.
That is when you had to know how to play. Those two giants would still be the best. Of course along with Mr. Woods.
this is truly incredible. whoever came up with this is a genius. the original format, and this remastering. the lack of crass corporate logos, the general quiet, the style, the pure civility, along with the tremendous skill on display. just incredible!!
I cut my cable a long time ago, but it sounds like the Masters
Here I am in 2023, watching this very old game from 1963 for the very first time, and I enjoy watching it.
Snead was amazing with those chip shots. Uncanny accuracy and skill.
Wow
That was my biggest takeaway. From tee to green both of them seemed shaky compared to modern professionals (I'm sure the equipment is 90% of the reason). But Snead's short game would be one of the best even today. The chip on 16 was ridiculous!
@@hoopaholik91 you are nuts if you classify Nicklaus' play as shaky. The guy was one of the best ball strikers ever. That was a TOUGH day on a tough course with inferior equipment (by todays standards-clubs/balls/and course maintenance). Jack Nicklaus (especially) is equally talented to any "modern professional." I know what you meant but Jack was incredible and still would be incredible in today's game. I'd like to see the top players of today go back in time (at 23 yrs old no less) and play this course under these conditions with those clubs and shoot 72. Few would do it.
@@pb12661 well said !! 👍
Those greens look like today’s fairways.
they look like temporary greens
Today's tee areas are faster than those greens. Those fairways are like the first cut of rough today. Of course, that could just be Pebble Beach (overrated in my opinion).
there would definitely be less one major wonders on these slower greens
The Masters changed the greens drastically in the early 80’s, not sure about Pebble. Permissible green speed should be related to contour imo. The steady backwards movement of the 18th tee over the years (Augusta) is interesting to note and reflects the evolution of the modern ball and equipment and subsequent course lengthening. Seems pointless really and I’m with Gary Plater on this issue. But golf club and ball manufacturers will always strive to create equipment to enable golfers to hit the ball further.
Enhance! I agree and the speed of the greens now is the great equalizer as just about everyone is hammering it 320+. I’m not sure how tight they can cut Poa without killing it so it will always be slower than bent or Bermuda. I’ve played on Poa courses where the contour is pretty severe and would be un-puttable if mowed tighter or with another type of surface.
I just love how they allowed the gallery to right up next to the green. What a match to have witnessed in person!
This is the first time that I had seen Sam Snead play in a round of golf. Loved watching the young Nicklaus and that old Pebble Beach course. What a special treat. A wonderful production. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Great to see some footage of Jacks early days. Theres not much footage out there of his earliest years so this is a treasure. Sam is a magician with that 9 iron around the green.
Seriously. I have never seen Sam Snead until watching this. That little bump 9 iron is magic. Dudes swing is butter.
This remaster looks absolutely fantastic. I wish they would do the same for the Hogan/Snead match.
not digitally remastered, but nonetheless the match. th-cam.com/video/G4ScccJDJgQ/w-d-xo.html
Yes I would love to see that !
I think that one is in the list showing under this one...gonna be watching it next 🤓
And find all the Throw out footage of the other HOLES, one guy suggested that, an extended show.
@@ksharpe10 any leftover footage was probably scrapped decades ago but, yep, if it could be found I would pay to see it.
Absolutely incredible. Sincere thanks to the PGA for remastering this and releasing it free.
This was brilliant in every way. Amazing coverage, amazing shots, amazing legends. Pebble looked so great... I'm coming back to watch this so many more times.
The video production/editors were robbed of an academy award here. This footage is absolutely stunning. Not to mention just how great and entertaining the golf was. Thank you for posting.
How would they have won an academy award for remastering an old TV show? I don't think you know what the academy awards are for.
@@geoffreyholland328 Geoffrey, actually I am at least familiar with what qualifies a movie for an Oscar. A Motion Picture movie must be released before the end of the year and be shown in the theaters etc.. I was using hyperbole, as the editing of this show is so well done.
@@geoffreyholland328 You should win an award for the most pedantic comment on youtube. lol
I need more of this in my life. Please do more of these restorations.
I literally enjoyed this more than anything I have seen in golf in a LONG time. (other than Tiger at the 19 Masters, of course) This was awesome... we should have more of these kinds of special matches. Who wouldn't want to see that?
I would love so much to watch all the Shell broadcasts.
I just love the music, the way the audio sounds, and the video quality. It's all so relaxing.
If I could like this a million times I would.
The restoration is unbelievable!! Plz do more!
I feel privileged to have seen two greats of the game in this remastered film. Jack will always be my hero, an unbelievable golfer and a true gentleman. ⛳💙
The picture on this is amazing. Everytime I see Jack putt it hurts my back a little
......amazing match.....superb clarity and color......and no one yelling 'GET IT THE HOLE'!
Snead's swing was undoubetedly poetry in motion - smooth, graceful, almost effortless. Amateur grunters / grinders could learn so much here. Professionals strive to keep things simple, whilst many amateurs go the other way. As for J.N., if my life depended on the success of a putt he'd be my player of choice.
Excellent restoration. It’s great watching a match between adults and with adults in the gallery.
Snead was an incredible natural athlete. My vote for the golf swing with the best blend of power and grace, in the history of the game. Such a shame that there are so few videos (film) of him in his prime.
Love the style of commentary. So conversational and casual but very informative..."the Slammer has played two holes and hasn't seen the fairway yet..."
I can't think of a single player today that swings so naturally as Sam. It' s great to watch
@Stefan Pete Not to my eye. Look at Sam's postion at the top; completely relaxed. No strain. Nicklaus and the major players today are torqued to the max.
@@kulcousy I agree. Fred Couples has the nearest to a Sam Snead swing in my humble opinion. But still not as smooth as Sam's.
It feels like I'm sitting here watching this with Jack...I love it!!
I love that they refer to Jack's caddy as a boy when the dude is puffing a cigar and looks like Tuddy from Goodfellas. Amazing how long the fairways, tees, and greens are. Really interesting how the backspin doesn't take well on those slow greens.
My god this looks footage good... and 2 masters going at it on one of the most storied golf courses in the world.
absolutely mesmerizing.
People literally sitting on the green while they putt...so cool!
So NOT cool. This comment from a groundskeepers son.
@@Hithere-ek4qt Well look at the state of the greens - grass is longer than a modern day fairway...I dont think greenkeepers had sleepless nights
So nice to watch some golf footage and not hear some tool screaming, 'you're the man', or 'get in the hole' or some other nonsense. That's one of the reasons I'd love to see the PGA resume without any fans.
Although every time the announcer called "LOOK OUT!!" got old fast.
Lol
Mashed potatoes! LOL
RIPPER MAGOO!!!!
FaFaFooeeeee
Jack Nicklaus's putt on 18 was pure class, no excessive celebration either. Gentleman.
Thanks for the spoiler alert
Sam Snead's 1 iron over the cliff on 6 was an amazing shot
Yeah, that was unbelievable.
"GET IN THE HOLE!" How nice is it not to hear that? The good ol days.
Amen to that.
I think I heard a mashed potatoes.
that Sam Snead doesnt overthink his shots he just walks up and rips it.
My two favorite golfers of all time and I’m 22 appreciative of how they played the game . The course strategy they played with and the short game would dominate todays golf courses with modern equipment
Truly incredible graphic technology!!!!!!!!
You need to do this for all of those Shell WWG vids!
Must keep the history alive for the next generation.
Great work PGA Tour team!
I cannot begin to imagine why anyone would "thumbs down" something like this.
Tiger Woods isn't in it, maybe?
All the Sam Snead fans?
Because they didn't like it? lol
always amazed at snead's short game. his touch was phenomenal.
I had to scroll way too far for this comment. His short game is invredible here
Today’s fairways are faster than those greens. Enjoyed watching these matches with my dad & brother.
that close up of Jack's ball in the trap was amazing,, I haven't seen a small dimple Blata DX Tourney Golf Ball in 45 years
Now this was worth seeing for sure! I'd love to see today's PRO GOLFERS play a tournament with the old clubs and balls. Just once! Also Jack at 23 already sure seemed a lot older than that here and Sam showed at 50 he still had his short game!
I'd love to see all the pga guys try and play an entire tournament with 60s style equipment and balls.
In 1998, 4 top pros played with Bobby Jones era wooden shafts, they didn't break 90 and marked their ball on the green something jones couldn't do. He still set records around the world with sub par rounds. 13 majors and retired at age 28. He won 47% of tournaments he entered.
@@ag358 I did not know that! Thanks!
This restoration is just incredible.
Snead's iron and short game was out of this world. First time really seeing it up close. Great re-mastering of this film.
Been waiting forever for good video of this!
I love the dog running around the course, most of the pros today would throw a hissy fit over that
I like golf in 1963 better than golf in 2020, I'll tell you that.
Every generation says things were better in “the-good-old-days”.
Really tiresome.
@@andrewrobinson8305 that's an easy way to dismiss something that's clearly true.
@@leobowman8149 haha no it's just a fact that every generation says stuff was better in their generation. So there's some person 30 years younger than you saying the exact same thing. But ok, Leo you happen to be that golden generation, haha
@@andrewrobinson8305 It's equally tiresome hearing that statement every time someone mentions prior generation was better. You can't deny that many things are going in the wrong direction, and whenever someone mentions the past was, or looked, better you are always responded with "no it's just nostalgia or no, Every generation says that". Really annoying tbh.
I used to follow Sam Snead when I would go watch golf tournaments as a kid. He was always kind and very nice to me. He would talk to me a bit and did not just fob me off as another teenager not to be bothered with.
I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for him. He was a very warm and wonderful man.
I'm European and just started golfing last year myself (after 40 years of "ramp-up" you could call it), but two things are mindboggling to me.
1) When I started watching golf in my teens during mid 80ies I would never have believed Nicklaus had been competitive on highest levels for over 20 years already by then. This has just sunk into me this very moment. Unfathomable!
2) The surroundings displayed at Pebble Beach. I was at a exchange student stay near Pebble beach in 1988-89. And now those restored living pictures are displayed in front of my eyes. WOW! Bring back Nature! (I'lll not even date to check how things are at present state.)
Talk about a golden era. Folks actually dress up to watch a golf match. Great replay. I bumped into and watched the whole thing. Thanks...
Simply amazing!! The digital remaster looks phenomenal! For Snead to play at that level for so long is incredible! Bravo!!!
Man SAM SNEAD’s poetic easy swing and that roll of the wrist all the way through to his follow through is just a marvel to watch... in today’s(today being 12 July 2020) golf,there’s currently 3 active players on the PGA/EUROPEAN TOUR/CHAMPIONS TOUR that somehow resemble that easy flowing swing, one being JUSTIN THOMAS and LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN and on the CHAMPIONS TOUR it definitely has to be FRED COUPLES...these 3 make a golf swing look so effortless...It was truly great watching these LEGENDS AT WORK.✌🏿🇿🇦🏌🏿♂️⛳️
Can go with you on all but JT. Great swing but not one I'd classify as effortless. He one of the smaller players on tour and has to really use the ground to squeeze more distance out of his 145lb frame. How could you leave Adam Scott off your list!?
Excellent Audio/Video Quality for 1963! Thanks PGA Tour for uploading this Jewel.
Man, I need those spotters with big flags to find my golf ball :D
I'm so glad they also included the original comments. I was afraid to have a post game interview by Amanda Balionis! Fantastic restoration and editing job on both image and sound. Changing B&W to colors is one thing, but improving the definition of an original while keeping it vintage is another level. I wonder how long it takes to do that and how many resources are needed.
I keep watching this every so often 🎉😊❤
The sound that Sam Snead's club head makes as he hits the ball is the sound of perfection. Snead had one of the greatest swings in golf history.
This is AMAZING.. we need many more of these!
$5000 worth of prize money lol. Quality of this remaster is beautiful!
Granted it's $42,000 adjusted for inflation but still nothing like the money these guys are playing for these days..
Drew Green yup. But given that 50th place at the masters last year pulled nearly$30k, its hard to imagine.
@@bradfrancis5187 You're not wrong lol we're living in a different era
The money ‘thing’ always gets me from the ‘yesterday’ of golf. I was struck when reading Hogan’s biography about the pros carpooling to tournaments. ...far before the days of private jets.
Quite possibly the greatest video I’ve ever watched! Tremendous stuff! More like this please!
Seeing the quality of the course in 1963 compared to 2021 is staggering. Truly, the golden era of golf.
The interviews, the commentary is sublime.
Snead’s swing was the most beautiful in golf history. Just an effortless, pure swing. Ballet!
Loved sams swing but i have to say i personally liked Bobby jones swing .
Jack, you did it again!! What great fun I had watching that with my 5-year-old son at 6 AM during the quarantine. Can't say I'm surprised that putt dropped on 18.
How great is this film. Moments in time that are priceless.
Thanks so much for unearthing this one to share with us - especially now! Keep 'em coming, please!
God that was a treat day for me. What a match. Two of the greatest players ever in the perfect setting.
I love watching these and thank Shell for making and saving history with the production of these matches. I like how Jack just went to the pro shop and picked up a hat before the match. I can't imagine that happening today with all the endorsements and logos these guys get paid to wear.
This was an absolute joy to watch...two of the all time greats go at it one-on-one. I would love to see this concept revived.
Unreal I’ve been looking for this one. Rugged pebble is the best pebble
"This boy is a magician." Love it.
I really liked this video and I liked Ernie. I certainly appreciate some of the tragedies that other vets have had to go through, but seeing Ernie here talk, I think he’s been successful at separating the war from himself. After the war, he put it away and went along successfully with his life. This isn’t a guy who shows himself off any and seems to have an excess of humility. He was definitely lucky to be from a patriotic small town where he got a lot of support. I really think that if all of our soldiers had been able to come back to the open arms of the rest of America, lots of guys would be more like Ernie. It’s great to see someone who was in combat, yet when it was over, he was able to put it in the shelf and move in without regrets. I hope you are well, Ernie!
This was just great- the remastering process is nothing short of miraculous, I hope they can restore many more Shell Golf classics from the ‘60’s and ‘70’s- seeing 2 legendary gods of the sport collide at Pebble is a heady treat indeed!
Incredible. Thank you for posting this - I'd never seen the legendary Sam Snead play before!
This is proper golf! The way the equipment and courses are these days is so sterile compared to this. Bring back the real game!
I just played here for the first time this last sunday and it's cool watching these types of videos and comparing my shots and seeing familiar landmarks even 60 years later
I think this may well be the best video on the whole of TH-cam! There’s something just beautiful about it!
Great footage with two of the best golfers ever. Thank you!
