0:09.2	Swamish Valley Golf Course. This is Golf Smarter Number 973. There was a story of Sam Sneed, and it's a week
0:16.8	before he's playing in his first PJ tour event. And it's in 1936.
0:39.5	He's at the Greenbrier. And the head pro organized a big match. It's going to be this rookie Sam Sneed. That's the big up-and-coming name.
