- GOLF HISTORIANS NEED APPLY
The only time that Snead and Hogan ever played a head to head 18 hole exhibition match for national television took place at the Houston Country Club in 1965. Prior to this, Snead had held a 3-0 series edge in tour playoffs, including the famous win at the 1954 Masters. Hogan played his guts out at Houston, hitting 18 fairways and 18 greens. Career grand slam winner Gene Sarazen called Ben's round the best from tee to green that he'd seen in his 63 years. Officially, it ended 69-72, misleading since Hogan missed many holeable putts, the bane of the ageing golfer.Do not be too quick to turn off your video either. Two men who combined to win 16 major titles had more understandable technique tips after the match than one will hear from a modern pro in hours of lessons.

- Great look at Hogan playing
If you are a big Hogan fan this is definitely worth getting. There are not many places where you can actually see Ben hitting shots and playing golf other than this. Ben hits all 14 fairways and 18 greens during this match and with a little better putting could have shot a really low score. Much is made about Ben playing a fade but on the first hole been hits a draw driver and a draw iron into the green. He basically played whatever the hole called for. This is a real classic match and a must see for Ben Hogan or Sam Snead fans.

- Beautiful swings
This video not only brings back the memory of two of the worlds greatest golfers of all time, but reminds me of the consistancy and longevity of these two titans. Before there was Palmer, Nicklaus, or Earl Wood had a gleam in his eye, these two prowled the circut along with Lord Byron and dominated the sport for almost two decades. When this video was shot, Hogan was basically putting the finishing touches on his career, yet would still particpate in majors and some charity events till the end of the 60's. Snead however would continue to play the circut, and would be instrumental in developing the Seniors circut we see today. This video is well worth the price just to see the two go at it for 18, (Hogan never played a match just for fun) and while Houston CC is a fairly wide open venue, it ... Read More

- Very dissapointed
My VHS tape sound was terrible. It sounded like a motorboat on the sound track. The sound is so annoying it has to be turned off to view the tape. The visual aspect was fine. I am very disappointed in the quality of the product.

A classic match with a bonus... tips from Hogan and Snead!

Considered by many to be the best golfer of all time, Ben Hogan is probably best remembered for his diligent work ethic and search for perfection. Driven by the desire to win, Hogan's first tour victory came in 1940. From 1946-48 he won 32 times, including three major titles. A near-fatal car crash in 1949 almost ended his career, but Hogan's determination never faltered as he mounted a spectacular comeback in the 50's, winning six more championships.

To his first tour win in 1937 Sam Snead added more than 100 additional ... Read More
