Bonus: Deep Dive - Why Sam Snead Plays Girls for Money

Did I Tell You About My Albatross

Sam Snead is without question one of the greatest golfers of all time. He is known for many things but most remember his smooth golf swing. Equally as impressive is his trophy case. He still shares the record for most wins on the PGA (82). In this episode of "Did I Tell You About My Albatross," host Albi introduces a new bonus series that delves deeper into the greatest golf stories and Slamming Sammy certainly owns one. On a beautiful day in 1962, Sam became the first and only Man to win an LPGA Tour Event. Albi dives deep to understand better who Sam Snead was, why he chose to compete in an LPGA, and why this was even a thing.

The crew will be back for another traditional episode of DITYAMA early next week.

Until then, enjoy the amazing tale of Sam Snead.
