As a spectator sport it was on   the verge of extinction. This was the unhappy prospect facing Sam Snead,   Byron Nelson, and Ben Hogan –two dirt-poor boys from Texas and another from   Virginia, who had dedicated themselves to the sport. But then lightning   struck, and from the late thirties into the fifties these three men were so   thoroughly dominant that they transformed both how the game was played and   how society regarded it. Paving the way for the subsequent popularity of   players from Arnold Palmer to Tiger Woods, they were, and will always remain,   a triumvirate for the ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eJames Dodson is the editor of \u003ci\u003eO.
