Make Healthy BBQ Part of Your Diet

Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, beef, wings, hamburgers --BBQ is filled with large bold tastes and rich foods that are decadent. It is the perfect comfort food, the perfect game day cure, an occasional indulgence in a cookout or party. It is worthy of adjectives and accolades. Healthy is among these.

BBQ is not a staple of our diet. Obviously, you consume all those yummy calories with every blissful snack.

But though a daily dose of conventional BBQ might not be physician prescribed, you will find healthy BBQ choices. Before you obtain up-in-arms outraged within the proposal that anything can replace a perfectly-barked brisket, let us make one thing clear: there are no replacements for authentic BBQ. However, if you love only smoked and grilled food in the summertime, you will find healthy choices which pack a lot of flavors but will not enable you to pack on the pounds.

Beef

Steak gets a bad rap because most of those red meat choices we adore --hamburgers and rib eye along with prime rib--are high in carbs and saturated fat.

The key to finding cuts of beef, which hit a fantastic balance between taste and nourishment, such as lean hamburger and legumes. Even though the most well-known cuts of beef, such as rib-eye and New York strip possess a good deal of subcutaneous fat--which"marbling" contributes to enhanced tenderness and flavor --there are loads of lean and extra lean cuts. Meanwhile, an additional lean cut has less than 5 grams of fat, 2 g of saturated fat, and 95 milligrams of cholesterol.

While thinner cuts of beef could be forgiving and become tough or even marinated or cooked properly, many consider well to the high and quick heat of grilling.

Extra Lean Cuts

Shoulder miniature medallions

Tri-tip roast and beef

Tenderloin roast and beef

Pork

When you cite pork in precisely the exact same breath as BBQ, people's heads go-to pulled pork, which is usually manufactured from Boston butt or pork shoulder, each of which is greasy cuts with a great deal of connective tissue which breaks down if cooked slow and low. But, there are lots of healthful pork alternatives, such as lean pork chops, pork loin pork, and pork tenderloin.

If what you recall of pork is your tough and dry roast your mom used to function, give it another opportunity. New FDA recommendations ensure it is safer to cook pork into a lesser internal temperature--many chefs advocate cooking to 145°F--therefore it remains tender and moist, even super lean cuts such as tenderloin.

Tender and tasty with nearly no fat, pork tenderloin is unbeatable when eaten on the grill and also makes tasty sandwiches. And since it is so lean, without the fat or connective tissue to cook it down, it does not need to cook quite as long. While a Boston buttock may take 9-10 hours to cook tenderloin will complete in 2-3 hours, which makes it a fantastic choice to pulled pork. Just do not attempt to shred it just like a butt. Tenderloin ought to be chopped or chopped then cut into cubes.

Chicken

Of all of the proteins consumed in BBQ, chicken is most likely the cleanest and healthiest. Of the two different types of meat found on poultry, white meat is a much healthier choice than the dark meat. And, even though it is crispy and flavorful, eating skin adds additional calories, fat, and cholesterol.

If you'd like healthy BBQ chicken, then proceed using skinless white meat. Be cautious, though. As it is lean, white meat dries quickly on direct heat. Your very best choice is to marinate the chicken or cook it on medium heat. Another fantastic technique is to cut the chicken into smaller bits, which will make it possible for the inside and outside to cook in a more even rate.

Seafood

Not nearly enough men and women cook fish in their grill or grill, and it is a shame. Whether you prefer to indulge in freshwater and scallops or just like a filet or salmon steak, then it is almost always better smoked or grilled.

Part of the dilemma is that not enough men and women feel confident cooking fish on the grill--the gaping grates and fragile meat have united to destroy many a meal. But with the number of fish grates and baskets available on the current market, there is no need to worry; you can safely and cook fish without fear of losing dinner into the flames.

Vegetables

Back in BBQ, vegetables are an afterthought, if they are given any thought in any way. But veggies cooked on the grill are a few of the best vegetables you will ever taste, and therefore are often a highlight of this cookout (seriously). A lot of men and women are used to cooking corn, onions, and peppers on the grill. But, there is no limit to what vegetables you may cook. Sweet potatoes and avocado are all amazing.

Vegetables do not have to settle to besides. There are loads of recipes which utilize them as the primary course, such as Portobello mushroom"hamburgers" and broiled eggplant stacks.

For a lot of individuals, the summer BBQ season is all about one thing: hamburgers. Can there be anything more quintessentially American than hamburgers on the grill?

But if you are prepared to open your mind to other choices, hamburgers can become a normal part of your summer menu. Bison, such as beef, is red meat that is high in protein, vitamin B, vitamin B, and iron, but it is a slice of thinner red meat.

Another bison advantage: Unlike other hamburger alternatives (we are looking in the turkey), it's a wealthy"beefy" taste --actually, a lot of men and women confuse it for lean beef (FYI: it is also possible to have bison in steaks, roasts, and other reductions ). You still must be mindful of what you place on such a hamburger, though--piling the cheese, bacon, and mayo can easily turn that lean hamburger into a bomb.

Warner Hollywood Theatre

When it became apparent in the early 1920s that Hollywood Boulevard would become the primary commercial and entertainment center for the town’s burgeoning film industry, one of the first orders of business was to create retail outlets for the industry’s main product: its movies. Within the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District are a concentration of entertainment-oriented structures, employing a variety of styles, and significant as a group, both functionally and architecturally. This cluster of theaters on Hollywood Blvd, legitimate and cinematic alike, made the thoroughfare a popular destination for the surrounding communities, creating an aura of fantasy for residents of the area and a draw for tourists as well.

As part of establishing their brand, each of the studios wanted its own venue. The Warner Brothers were no exception. As they watched Sid Grauman’s affiliation with Paramount, Fox and United Artists grow, first at his Egyptian Theatre in 1922 and again at the Chinese Theatre in 1927, they also thought it wise to carve out land in the middle stretch of the Boulevard for their own “movie palace”, an elaborate four story business block on the northeast corner of Hollywood Blvd (6423) and Wilcox Ave.

To compete with the flamboyant “programmatic” architecture of Grauman’s Egyptian and Chinese, they chose an ornate construct of Spanish Colonial Revival style known as “Churrigueresque” which had its roots in the Spanish Renaissance. They hired well-known architect G. Albert Landsburgh, who already had a reputation for his stylish interior designs at the Shrine Auditorium and the El Capitan Theater. Their planning and well-publicized advertising campaign began in 1925, just before the groundbreaking of the Chinese. The Warner Brothers vowed to build “The World’s Most Beautiful Cinema” in an effort to reinforce the concept of Hollywood as the movie capital of the world.

The massing of the business block, while horizontal, shares similar decorative elements with the El Capitan. Elaborate detailing is evident on both the south and west facades. The classic facades are very symmetrical, with window bays placed between ornate vertical pilasters. Built of reinforced concrete embellished with concrete ornament, the building retains its original grill work above the shopfronts on the street level. The main entrance was dominated by an oversized marquee which jutted from the building. The original has now been replaced, but much of the detailed entrance, lobby, and interior remain. An elaborately ornamented arcade runs along the west façade. Medallions, gargoyles, Spanish conquistadores and cast floral ornament are characteristic of the style and feature prominently on the Hollywood and Wilcox facades. The entry’s ornate carved ceiling is another prominent feature.  

Through the lobby entry, an elegantly appointed auditorium with a large balcony greeted audiences. Great care was taken to provide every comfort and convenience to patrons. After 14 months of construction, the 2700 seat theater (then largest on the Boulevard) opened with much fanfare on April 26, 1928 with the premiere of Glorious Betsy starring Delores Costello and Conrad Nagle. From the start, this was a “talkies” venue, with the use of the Warner’s Vitaphone sound system. Like the Egyptian and the Chinese, a massive organ also was installed. The Warner Brothers were pioneers of radio broadcasting as well and thus incorporated two signature radio towers of their KFWB station on the roof. The towers were first used in 1929.

The theater was repeatedly adapted to new technologies over the years. The original proscenium was lost in the conversion to Cinerama in 1953; further changes accommodated 70mm screenings in 1961. In 1978, the balcony was divided into two smaller theaters.

Like many of the buildings on Hollywood Boulevard, the Warner has played a supporting role in many films, including Ed Wood (1994), and most recently The Nice Guys and Hail Caesar (2016). Closed as a full-time cinema in August 1994, the Hollywood community eagerly looks forward to a rehabilitation and re-use of The Warner Theatre in keeping with the successful reinventions of the neighboring Egyptian, Chinese, and Pantages.

Feature Flashback: 1957 Chrysler 300C

In the late ’50s we referred to the third installment in Chrysler’s 300 “Letter Series” cars as the “hottest of the hot crop of super cars,” without a shred of irony or hyperbole. These early 300s ranked as America’s most powerful cars, and they grabbed the NASCAR manufacturer championships in ’55 and ’56. The line launched in 1955 with the C-300, and then altered the nomenclature to 300B in ’56, advancing the letters annually through L in 1965. The front-drive 300M that followed in 1999 was pooh-poohed as a letter pretender, but the swaggering rear-drive Hemi-powered 300C of 2005 wore its letter a whole lot more authentically. So on the occasion of what is likely the last refresh for the modern-day 300C, we’re taking a look back at the original. Read about the 2018 Chrysler 300 in our First Drive review HERE. Eye-rolling Adulation Upon first driving the original 300C in March 1957, our man Joe H. Wherry made a prediction: “Unless a major upset takes place, Chrysler’s 300-C is almost certain to retain its stock car racing crown, because this job’s really loaded. If it were named Jim Dandy instead of 300-C, it could be the inspiration for a whole series of popular songs.” Despite that incorrect prediction (Ford claimed its first championship in 1957) and cringeworthy prose, Wherry remained employed at Motor Trend for many more years (and we somehow managed to continue reading his article). No Replacement for Displacement “Cubic inches, pure and simple, are the most direct route to super performance. For 1957, the 300-C is up in displacement from last year’s 354 to 392 by means of both greater bore and stroke—from 3.94 by 3.63 [inches] to 4.00 by 3.90. … Basically the engine is that used in the New Yorkers and Imperials—as far as the block goes.” Wherry goes on to explain that the compression is also increased to 9.25:1, solid lifters actuate the valves, and a hotter cam increases their lift from 0.389 inch on the New Yorker to 0.444 inch on the intake and 0.435 inch on the exhaust. Double valve springs helped combat valve float at higher rpm, the crank got a special hardening treatment, and its bearings were made of a special tri-metal material. Power output jumped from the New Yorker’s 325 hp at 4,600 rpm to 375 hp at 5,200 rpm, but torque dipped to 420 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm from the New Yorker’s 430 lb-ft at 2,800 rpm. Race Tuned If the “cooking grade” 300C engine was too tame for you, a racing option featured cylinder heads that boosted compression to 10.0:1, a hotter-still cam that further increased intake and exhaust lift to 0.446 and 0.447 inch, a low-restriction 2.5-inch exhaust, and a column-shift manual transmission. Wherry cautioned: “This racing package will probably cause something akin to stuttering when idling, but since the 300-C when so equipped will probably be chiefly used for high-speed work, no one is going to worry about the rougher idling.” Output for this optional upgrade had yet to be released, but we now know it was 390 hp at 5,400 rpm and 430 lb-ft at 4,200 rpm. Only 18 of these were ever built. Axles of Evil The 300C could be optimized to dominate at the drag strip or the salt flats, or as Wherry put it: “For those who have varying ideas about the amount of dig and/or speed they wish, there will be about a dozen rear-axle options ranging from a 2.92 to 1 ratio on up the ladder to 6.17 to 1.” That last one probably hit redline in top gear at about the quarter-mile mark. Restrained Exterior “Externally, the 300-C again has much to offer in cleanliness of line with very little non-functional embellishment. The grille is distinctive—showing a relationship to recent Chrysler dream cars—and the hood is peaked. Dual headlights are standard, as are back-up lights. There’s a new red-white-and-blue circular medallion on a single narrow strip of chrome just aft of the rear wheel opening.” Cool Brakes “Something we hope to see more of in the near future is the needed attention to the cooling of brakes on high-performance cars—air scoops beneath the headlights which funnel air onto the front brake drums. The brakes are the total-contact type introduced by Chrysler last year and, in spite of the smaller 14-inch wheels, have a total effective lining area of 251 square inches.” Starchy Suspenders No mere go-and-stop-fast parts-bin buggy, the 300C was fully fortified in the chassis department, as well. The longer, lower, and wider ’57 Chrysler lineup made a major change to torsion-bar front suspension, and the 300C’s bars were bigger in diameter—1.11 inches versus 1.02 inches for the New Yorker—resulting in 40 percent greater stiffness. The rear leaf setup was also 50 percent stiffer. The result: “This is probably one of the most comfortable cars available today. The firmer springing not only reduces almost to the elimination point the danger of bottoming on sharp dips and rises, but overall control of the car is similarly improved. There’s as much difference, handling-wise, between the 300-C and the conventional line as there is between the latter and the ’56 line with the coil springs up front.” Unofficial Test Results Our man Wherry busted out his trusty stopwatch and eyeballed the speedometer, “read to 65 mph to handle the error suggested by the engineering department.” His results in a standard 300C with a Torqueflite three-speed automatic and a 3.36:1 axle? “From a standing start to 60 mph netted 8.0 seconds flat with the writer, alone, aboard. I’m personally confident that a good second can be chopped from this time with a similarly equipped car properly run in.” (The test example was brand new.) Everything Works! It’s a sad commentary on the state of automobile construction back in the late 1950s, but Joe expressed near bewilderment: “This 300-C is one of the few cars I’ve checked so far this year in which everything worked, and not merely passably, either, but in good form. The potential customer, however, should bear in mind the fact, often repeated in MT, that no two cars of the same make and series are exactly the same. Believe it or not, and this is strange, it’s quite possible for a dozen buyers to get soundly assembled examples while an automotive writer draws a goat from the sheepfold. Or, worse still, vice-versa.” Nicer Inside than Last Year’s Imperial! “The interior, too, was a good recommendation for the Chrysler Division; in fact, the 300-C detailing inspected was superior to that of the more costly Imperial checked last autumn. It would seem that there has been a general tightening up, in more ways than one, where this division is concerned. A brand-new, right-off-the-line car could be expected to have some rattles. This one had none, nor did some fairly rough handling bring on any.” Bottom Line “For the third straight year, the 300 leads the entire industry as the most powerful production car. A luxurious family-sized car, it has the performance that will make it virtually unbeatable on the highways; its greatly improved roadability will make it a dominant factor in racing. The average owner is well advised, however, to ‘respect it for its power, and control its power with care.’ ” That last was a quote from the owners’ manual that folks were probably wise to take heed of!

Sam Snead's son keeps his father's memory alive by telling stories

Jack Snead is continuing -- and protecting -- a legacy. And what a legacy it is.

The 71-year-old's father was Sam Snead, one of golf's biggest names, and the namesake of the Oak Grill & Tavern located at Lely Resort in Naples.

That is one of several locations around the country, with the first opening in Hot Springs, Virginia. The Lely location opened in March 2012 after the original Naples restaurant -- just south of Tiburon Golf Club on Vanderbilt Beach Road -- had operated since December 1999.

"It was just an available, affordable area at the time," Jack Snead said last fall, while visiting the new location to look at refreshing some of his father's memorabilia on the walls. "It was really popular for many years.

"I like putting these restaurants together. It doesn't seem like Dad's gone."

Sam Snead died on May 23, 2002, four days before his 90th birthday. Snead did just about everything -- both on and off the golf course.

He won 82 tournaments officially (his son will address that number), played pool with Willie Mosconi, was friends with King Edward VIII of England and Dwight Eisenhower before the latter became President, played the trumpet with Louis Armstrong, was on the set of "The Honeymooners" with Jackie Gleason, fought boxing exhibitions with Joe Louis, and was part of "American Sportsman" on TV with Curt Gowdy.

The relationship between Jack and his father was a very tight one. To the point that he was his father's caddie at Augusta National for the Masters, and was his agent and business manager for the last 25 years or so of his life.

"Dad and I were really, really close, as about as close as a father and son could be," Jack said. "I know everything about him. ... Dad had a heart of gold. He came up poor and he knew what it was to make a dollar."

Snead was known for his smooth swing and being a fierce competitor on the course, and Jack shares that determination when it comes to protecting his father's legacy.

"I hear people talking, say something about him that's not correct," he said. "I'll just break in (to the conversation). I just can't help it."

Snead won three Masters, three PGA Championships and the 1946 British Open at St. Andrews. He narrowly missed achieving a Grand Slam, finishing second in the U.S. Open four times. Just how close was he to the Slam? He triple-bogeyed the 72nd hole when he thought he needed a birdie to win in 1939, and in 1947 he missed a 30-inch putt to lose in a playoff to Lew Worsham.

Snead's final major win was the 1954 Masters, where he beat Ben Hogan by a stroke in an 18-hole playoff.

Snead played on seven U.S. Ryder Cup teams (he was a playing captain on two of those), and he captained the 1969 squad. He also was on the 1939 team that was supposed to host the European team, but the matches weren't played because of World War II.

"Bobby Jones put together a team, and they went around and played matches and exhibition matches throughout the United States," Jack Snead said.

Snead still was winning later in his career, becoming the PGA Tour's oldest champion when he took home his eighth Greater Greensboro Open at the age of 52 in 1965. He also was fourth in the 1972 PGA Championship at the age of 60, and was third in 1974 when he was 62.

"I remember we were sitting watching the Masters once," Jack Snead said. "He looked over at me and said, 'You know what? There was a time in my life I'd go up on the first tee, and I knew there wasn't a soul that could beat me. You know, that's a hell of a feeling.'"

According to the official record book, Sam Snead has 82 PGA Tour victories, a record threatened only by Tiger Woods, who has 79. Jack Snead cringes at that 82 number.

In the late 1980s, the PGA Tour decided to come up with a set of rules for tournaments to qualify as official PGA Tour events, and for winning those tournaments to be recognized as tour victories. The size of the purse and strength of the field were among the criteria.

Sam Snead had 94 victories, but after the change, it went down to 81. Among those removed was the 1946 British Open because its purse was only 2,700 pounds.

"Two years before Dad died -- out of sheer embarrassment and a lot of negative flack -- they gave him the British Open back," Jack Snead said. "When you win the British Open at St. Andrews, who in the hell has the right to take it away because of the amount of money?"

Still, according to Jack Snead, there were 12 other victories that were no longer considered official.

"I have a silver chest at home," he said. "When you win a sanctioned tournament, about six or seven weeks later in the mail you get this 18-karat gold medallion. It's got the PGA logo on one side and the other side it's got the tournament's logo, your name as the winner and your rounds. It's a token from the PGA that you've won their sanctioned event. We have a chest of 94. How can anybody take some of those 94 out of that chest?

"That hurt Dad worse than anything. He was so proud."

Snead was the first Masters winner to take home a green jacket in 1949. He also won the first Par 3 Contest in 1960 and was one of the honorary starters beginning in 1984, three years after tournament chairman Hord Hardin resurrected the ceremony with Byron Nelson and Gene Sarazen.

Now, the modern day Big Three of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player are the honorary starters. But back then, Snead, Nelson and Sarazen frequently hit more than the ceremonial ball.

"Dad and Sarazen used to play nine holes," said Jack Snead, who caddied for his father. "I remember one year, Dad was 79, and he shot 2 under on the front nine."

Snead said his father enjoyed spending time with Sarazen, who lived on Marco Island for 34 years until his death at the age of 97 in 1999. Snead said the 5-foot-5 Sarazen had a little trick in his grip to help him keep up with the big hitters.

"If you keep your left thumb off your grip, it frees your wrist," Jack Snead said. "You can cock your wrists like crazy. He could get one hell of a wrist cock."

Jack Snead also recounted a story on how the traditional green jacket came to be. At the Champions Dinner, tournament officials frequently asked the previous winners what they thought of the tournament and if they would make any changes. Snead said Ben Hogan was the first to speak up with the idea of giving the champion an Augusta National Golf Club member jacket.

Jack Snead said he's been told his father's green jacket is one of golf's most valuable pieces of memorabilia. But it's not the original one.

"That jacket was stolen out of the locker room about four years after Dad won it," he said. "They didn't replace it for years. Dad ended up wearing Bobby Jones' jacket. After Bob Jones passed, finally they made him one of his own, which is the one hanging in there now."

The green jacket of the champion gets returned to the club the following year. Snead was an honorary starter through the 2002 Masters. He died the following month.

Snead won his first-ever professional event at The Greenbrier, a resort course near White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, back in 1936 and had a strong relationship with the club ever since. He also was the club's golf pro emeritus from 1993 until his death in 2002.

King Edward VIII was an annual visitor to The Greenbrier. Edward was the king for just one year, 1936, abdicating the throne after choosing to continue his relationship with Wallis Simpson, an American woman he had proposed to, but who had been divorced.

Later in his life, Edward visited The Greenbrier for two or three weeks a year.

"He became really good friends with my mom and dad," said Snead, who has a picture of him sitting on Edward's lap. "He would always bring Dad a gift. It was always something to do with golf. I remember one year he brought Dad two feather balls. They were made back in the 1700s. One year, he gave Dad one of Tom Morris' playing clubs that he had won the first British Open with that he had. He was a collector, too.

"He always signed his name with 'Edward.' That was it. Just Edward. He always wore an ascot -- a big ascot. He was a snappy dresser."

The Greenbrier also was where Snead and Eisenhower became friends. Eisenhower had a bunker built underneath The Greenbrier that was completed in 1961, and it was an active government facility until The Washington Post published a story revealing it in 1992. Now the bunker is open for tours.

"It's built on shock absorbers," Snead said. "It can take a nuclear hit from a relatively close distance. There's a crematorium in there. ... They had your prescription ready on any given day in that bunker."

Jack Snead has plenty of memories of his father, and many of them are in the Snead Taverns for everyone to see. And he has quite a collection to keep those fresh. He estimated he has 1,400 photos of his father that he can make any size. He also has an extensive collection of hickory-shafted clubs.

"We refresh it," Snead said. "I come up with newer things all of the time of my father."

The tavern (which is open to the public) at Lely Resort is one of Snead's favorites. Scott Casselberry, the general manager of the original location in Naples, came back to the area to run the Lely one.

"This one's taking off like a rocket now," Snead said. "I think this one here, it's just in a perfect spot with all of these golfers down here."

Sam Snead's son keeps his father's memory alive by telling stories

Jack Snead is continuing -- and protecting -- a legacy. And what a legacy it is.

The 71-year-old's father was Sam Snead, one of golf's biggest names, and the namesake of the Oak Grill & Tavern located at Lely Resort in Naples.

That is one of several locations around the country, with the first opening in Hot Springs, Virginia. The Lely location opened in March 2012 after the original Naples restaurant -- just south of Tiburon Golf Club on Vanderbilt Beach Road -- had operated since December 1999.

"It was just an available, affordable area at the time," Jack Snead said last fall, while visiting the new location to look at refreshing some of his father's memorabilia on the walls. "It was really popular for many years.

"I like putting these restaurants together. It doesn't seem like Dad's gone."

Sam Snead died on May 23, 2002, four days before his 90th birthday. Snead did just about everything -- both on and off the golf course.

He won 82 tournaments officially (his son will address that number), played pool with Willie Mosconi, was friends with King Edward VIII of England and Dwight Eisenhower before the latter became President, played the trumpet with Louis Armstrong, was on the set of "The Honeymooners" with Jackie Gleason, fought boxing exhibitions with Joe Louis, and was part of "American Sportsman" on TV with Curt Gowdy.

Snead still was winning later in his career, becoming the PGA Tour's oldest champion when he took home his eighth Greater Greensboro Open at the age of 52 in 1965. He also was fourth in the 1972 PGA Championship at the age of 60, and was third in 1974 when he was 62.

"I remember we were sitting watching the Masters once," Jack Snead said. "He looked over at me and said, 'You know what? There was a time in my life I'd go up on the first tee, and I knew there wasn't a soul that could beat me. You know, that's a hell of a feeling.'"

According to the official record book, Sam Snead has 82 PGA Tour victories, a record threatened only by Tiger Woods, who has 79. Jack Snead cringes at that 82 number.

In the late 1980s, the PGA Tour decided to come up with a set of rules for tournaments to qualify as official PGA Tour events, and for winning those tournaments to be recognized as tour victories. The size of the purse and strength of the field were among the criteria.

Sam Snead had 94 victories, but after the change, it went down to 81. Among those removed was the 1946 British Open because its purse was only 2,700 pounds.

"Two years before Dad died -- out of sheer embarrassment and a lot of negative flack -- they gave him the British Open back," Jack Snead said. "When you win the British Open at St. Andrews, who in the hell has the right to take it away because of the amount of money?"

Still, according to Jack Snead, there were 12 other victories that were no longer considered official.

"I have a silver chest at home," he said. "When you win a sanctioned tournament, about six or seven weeks later in the mail you get this 18-karat gold medallion. It's got the PGA logo on one side and the other side it's got the tournament's logo, your name as the winner and your rounds. It's a token from the PGA that you've won their sanctioned event. We have a chest of 94. How can anybody take some of those 94 out of that chest?

"That hurt Dad worse than anything. He was so proud."

Snead was the first Masters winner to take home a green jacket in 1949. He also won the first Par 3 Contest in 1960 and was one of the honorary starters beginning in 1984, three years after tournament chairman Hord Hardin resurrected the ceremony with Byron Nelson and Gene Sarazen.

Now, the modern day Big Three of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player are the honorary starters. But back then, Snead, Nelson and Sarazen frequently hit more than the ceremonial ball.

"Dad and Sarazen used to play nine holes," said Jack Snead, who caddied for his father. "I remember one year, Dad was 79, and he shot 2 under on the front nine."

Snead said his father enjoyed spending time with Sarazen, who lived on Marco Island for 34 years until his death at the age of 97 in 1999. Snead said the 5-foot-5 Sarazen had a little trick in his grip to help him keep up with the big hitters.

"If you keep your left thumb off your grip, it frees your wrist," Jack Snead said. "You can cock your wrists like crazy. He could get one hell of a wrist cock."

Jack Snead also recounted a story on how the traditional green jacket came to be. At the Champions Dinner, tournament officials frequently asked the previous winners what they thought of the tournament and if they would make any changes. Snead said Ben Hogan was the first to speak up with the idea of giving the champion an Augusta National Golf Club member jacket.

Jack Snead said he's been told his father's green jacket is one of golf's most valuable pieces of memorabilia. But it's not the original one.

"That jacket was stolen out of the locker room about four years after Dad won it," he said. "They didn't replace it for years. Dad ended up wearing Bobby Jones' jacket. After Bob Jones passed, finally they made him one of his own, which is the one hanging in there now."

The green jacket of the champion gets returned to the club the following year. Snead was an honorary starter through the 2002 Masters. He died the following month.

Snead won his first-ever professional event at The Greenbrier, a resort course near White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, back in 1936 and had a strong relationship with the club ever since. He also was the club's golf pro emeritus from 1993 until his death in 2002.

King Edward VIII was an annual visitor to The Greenbrier. Edward was the king for just one year, 1936, abdicating the throne after choosing to continue his relationship with Wallis Simpson, an American woman he had proposed to, but who had been divorced.

Later in his life, Edward visited The Greenbrier for two or three weeks a year.

"He became really good friends with my mom and dad," said Snead, who has a picture of him sitting on Edward's lap. "He would always bring Dad a gift. It was always something to do with golf. I remember one year he brought Dad two feather balls. They were made back in the 1700s. One year, he gave Dad one of Tom Morris' playing clubs that he had won the first British Open with that he had. He was a collector, too.

"He always signed his name with 'Edward.' That was it. Just Edward. He always wore an ascot -- a big ascot. He was a snappy dresser."

The Greenbrier also was where Snead and Eisenhower became friends. Eisenhower had a bunker built underneath The Greenbrier that was completed in 1961, and it was an active government facility until The Washington Post published a story revealing it in 1992. Now the bunker is open for tours.

"It's built on shock absorbers," Snead said. "It can take a nuclear hit from a relatively close distance. There's a crematorium in there. ... They had your prescription ready on any given day in that bunker."

Jack Snead has plenty of memories of his father, and many of them are in the Snead Taverns for everyone to see. And he has quite a collection to keep those fresh. He estimated he has 1,400 photos of his father that he can make any size. He also has an extensive collection of hickory-shafted clubs.

"We refresh it," Snead said. "I come up with newer things all of the time of my father."

The tavern (which is open to the public) at Lely Resort is one of Snead's favorites. Scott Casselberry, the general manager of the original location in Naples, came back to the area to run the Lely one.

"This one's taking off like a rocket now," Snead said. "I think this one here, it's just in a perfect spot with all of these golfers down here."

Sam Snead's son keeps his father's memory alive by telling stories

Jack Snead is continuing -- and protecting -- a legacy. And what a legacy it is.

The 71-year-old's father was Sam Snead, one of golf's biggest names, and the namesake of the Oak Grill & Tavern located at Lely Resort in Naples.

That is one of several locations around the country, with the first opening in Hot Springs, Virginia. The Lely location opened in March 2012 after the original Naples restaurant -- just south of Tiburon Golf Club on Vanderbilt Beach Road -- had operated since December 1999.

"It was just an available, affordable area at the time," Jack Snead said last fall, while visiting the new location to look at refreshing some of his father's memorabilia on the walls. "It was really popular for many years.

"I like putting these restaurants together. It doesn't seem like Dad's gone."

Sam Snead died on May 23, 2002, four days before his 90th birthday. Snead did just about everything -- both on and off the golf course.

He won 82 tournaments officially (his son will address that number), played pool with Willie Mosconi, was friends with King Edward VIII of England and Dwight Eisenhower before the latter became President, played the trumpet with Louis Armstrong, was on the set of "The Honeymooners" with Jackie Gleason, fought boxing exhibitions with Joe Louis, and was part of "American Sportsman" on TV with Curt Gowdy.

The relationship between Jack and his father was a very tight one. To the point that he was his father's caddie at Augusta National for the Masters, and was his agent and business manager for the last 25 years or so of his life.

"Dad and I were really, really close, as about as close as a father and son could be," Jack said. "I know everything about him. ... Dad had a heart of gold. He came up poor and he knew what it was to make a dollar."

Snead was known for his smooth swing and being a fierce competitor on the course, and Jack shares that determination when it comes to protecting his father's legacy.

"I hear people talking, say something about him that's not correct," he said. "I'll just break in (to the conversation). I just can't help it."

Snead won three Masters, three PGA Championships and the 1946 British Open at St. Andrews. He narrowly missed achieving a Grand Slam, finishing second in the U.S. Open four times. Just how close was he to the Slam? He triple-bogeyed the 72nd hole when he thought he needed a birdie to win in 1939, and in 1947 he missed a 30-inch putt to lose in a playoff to Lew Worsham.

Snead's final major win was the 1954 Masters, where he beat Ben Hogan by a stroke in an 18-hole playoff.

Snead played on seven U.S. Ryder Cup teams (he was a playing captain on two of those), and he captained the 1969 squad. He also was on the 1939 team that was supposed to host the European team, but the matches weren't played because of World War II.
