Audrey and Sam are both buried in the Snead family cemetery not far from Hot Springs, along with Sam's ancestors and, reportedly, his dog.
Wilson Blue Ridge can be found in the early 1940s, and the Wilson company had a history of attaching the names of famous golfers to their woods and irons; I find Sam Snead's name on Wilson irons as far back as 1942, in fact. But the earliest I can find Sam Snead's name as part of the Wilson Blue Ridge is 1964-1965. Magazine ads of that era spoke of the "Sam Snead Wilson Blue Ridge"-- a set which contained 2 woods and 5 irons. It does not seem that the name got changed to "Wilson Sam Snead Blue Ridge" till the early 1970s, but it was not official-- many newspaper ads still placed Snead's name at the beginning, rather than in the middle.
