Kindheit Experience

Sam Snead was born on May 27, 1912, in an ordinary farm family in Ashwood, Virginia, USA. His childhood life revolved around farm work. Every day he had to help his family do various farm work, from farming to feeding livestock. Although life was hard, it was full of simple fun. In that era without many entertainment facilities, golf was almost an unattainable "noble sport" concept for the small village of Ashwood. However, a wonderful turn of fate came quietly. There was a simple nine-hole golf course near Snead's home, which was originally built for some wealthy city dwellers to relax and vacation. After finishing farm work, young Sam Snead often ran to the side of the golf course and watched those people in exquisite clothes swinging their clubs and hitting the small white ball into the distance, with curiosity and yearning in his eyes. He didn't have a regular club, so he made a similar tool with branches and imitated the movements of those golfers on the open space on the farm. At first, he just thought it was fun, and regarded hitting the homemade simple "ball" as a way to relax and have fun. But gradually, he showed extraordinary talent, and could accurately control the flight direction and distance of the "ball". The sense of accomplishment of hitting the target made him more and more obsessed with this sport. Snead's parents did not take his love for golf too seriously at first. After all, in their opinion, running a good farm and living a stable life are the first priority. But Sam Snead has his own persistence. Whenever he has free time, he will run to the side of the golf course, and sometimes he will take the initiative to help the staff of the golf course do some chores, just to have the opportunity to really touch those professional golf clubs and play a few shots on the green grass. In this way, in this small world in the Virginia countryside, Sam Snead has an indissoluble bond with golf, and a future golf superstar is quietly sprouting.

As he grew older, Sam Snead entered a local school. In school, he still did not give up his love for golf. Although his study tasks were increasingly heavy and he had to take care of farm work at home, he always tried his best to squeeze out time to practice golf. At that time, the school did not have a formal golf course or school team. He could only use his spare time to practice golf on the simple golf course with a few friends who were also interested in golf. They learned from each other. Although there was no guidance from a professional coach, Snead's golf skills improved steadily through constant observation, imitation and practice. In middle school, Sam Snead began to participate in some regional small golf competitions. Although the scale of the competition was small and the prize money was small, it was a precious opportunity for him to test his strength and accumulate competition experience. He often had to ride a bicycle with his simple golf equipment and travel dozens of miles to participate in the competition. On the court, his unyielding spirit and innate talent began to gradually show up. He often stood out from the crowd of contestants, won many honors, and began to become famous in the local golf circle. However, the pressure of academic studies has always been with him. His parents hope that he can focus more on studying, go to college in the future, and find a stable job. But Sam Snead knows that what he really loves is golf.
