I was not there but this was related to me by Bobby Cole while I was taking a lesson from him at Doral, where he is teaching with Jim Mclean.
It was at the Masters, unfortunatley I do not remember the hole or exact year but it had to be early 70s, Bobby was playing a practice round with Sam Snead , of course a little side wager was going on. They were on the tee and Bobby was about to hit. Snead says to him, 'Ya know when I was your age, I would just hit it right over those trees at the bend". Bobby wanting to show Sam that he could do the same aimed at the trees, swung and hit them right into the middle of the trunk and watched the ball kick into no man's land. Snead hit his shot down the fairway. As they walked of the tee Bobby had to say to Sam that had to be some shot to clear those trees. Sam replied 'It wasn't that hard they were alot shorter 30 years ago'....Bobby stills cracks up 30 years later telling his story.
