Caddie Billy Foster looks back on one of the most memorable moments from his time on the bag alongside golfing great Seve Ballesteros, when a slice of fruitcake bizarrely threatened to steal the show during a big head-to-head with Nick Price
Billy Foster seems like a cool guy. And to have the nerve to suggest Seve concede that par putt? Brilliant.
Yeah, I can believe Billy here. Seve was utterly competitive, utterly focused on winning. And utterly brilliant. Made golf a real spectator sport.
This Billy Foster guy is just amazing
great story teller indeed.
And he had he integrity to ask Seve to concede the putt, which was lost on the great Seve. Seve was great, one of the best ever. But moments like the lack of putt concede and harsh treatment of caddies define you on a human level.
Golden age of golf.
Billy foster can cough in a Spanish accent, impressive
Ole’!
all my favorite golf memories have seve in there somewhere , great player
I could listen to Seve stories for hours. He was very much done when I really dove head first into golf. Years later his genius still shines.
I had the chance to see Seve many times in La Turbie in the '80's what a great champion
we'll never forget you Seve RIP Champion...........
Come on Billy, where are your memoirs ?
A guaranteed worldwide best seller.
I've tried a lot of gamesmanship tactics to throw off my opponent. Never thought of fruitcake. That's why Seve was one of the greatest.
gracias seve-u are missed much
ya he should have given Price the putt.
David A. Price would’ve told him to shut the fuck up and putted it out just to prove that the bullshit Seve does doesn’t faze him.
Nah. He offered him a halve in the fairway.
The commentary is so dramatic, you would think Seve had murdered someone and zipped them up in his golf bag.
not really, I think the tone of this is appropriate
Whether or not you agree with this comment, it’s hilarious.
It was in Seve's benefit to give Nick the putt. When you are given a putt (especially a tester) it implies that you may miss. That tiny bit of doubt carries over. In the old days of match play, golfers were always pulling this "gimmie" strategy to create doubt and get into their opponents heads.
That's true and an opponent did that to me once but it didn't work out for him.
Golf is a game of achieving honor not just a victory 😌
Mark Brown burp
no honor in a stupid game. now mma fighters, thats honor. kazushi sakuraba has more honor than any golfer ever
Integrity is binary, either a one or a zero. Seve was a zero, see my comments above. Want more testimony, buy Azinger two beers and say to him, "Boy, wasn't Seve a swell guy?"
It’s not about “achieving honor “ , but having integrity and good sportsmanship . It’s also about winning and being a part of golf history among the greats .
wiremessiah Really ? I don’t see the honor in MMA at all. It’s a dime a dozen in that profession. Takes 10 times more skill to play golf at the professional level than it does to become an MMA fighter. You don’t see the world’s best golfers with possible CTE after their careers are over with do you? MMA is way dumber when it comes down to the 2 sports . MMA isn’t what it used to be anymore if you know your history that is.... you ever watch UFC 1 ?
More Peter Alliss genius - you don't get that watching sky sports golf.
He must have gotten some stuck in his throat, back in '86 at the final round of the Masters, on the fifteenth hole, when he pulled that four iron into the pond; or maybe it was Jack, finishing with a thirty on the back side, to win.
O tal vez fué porque había perdido a su padre hacía poco,a Seve se le respeta es lo mínimo que se merece el hombre que transformó el golf.Un saludo
This reminds me of the Alan Partridge Seve Ballesteros commentary sketch.
1:59 you're welcome
Billy foster is a legend.
Seve used to cough when he was nervous or not confident.
Even before a t shot on a par 3 and wasn’t sure or asking the caddy and not very sure he used to cough before his own shot.
i would kill to be able to watch seve and tiger get after it
Los cuerpos más sexis
Seve would beat him
Seve wouldn’t touch Tiger in his prime.
Or Elin and Tiger
kingshearer2 Nope
This is magnificent!
What a funny story. Seve was right though, Nick must have known that Seve didn’t do it on purpose.
Seve was well known to cough during a players backswing.
The most famous " banana " in history 😆
Seve tried every trick in the book.....
James OBoyle Have some respect, you douche-bags!
Roland Sievers For whom ? ..... Seve ? Nope . The dude’s a fucking cheat . Shut your fucking pie hole .
@@jamesroboyle It's you who needs to shut his pie-hole!
Only the 7th or 8th time he’s coughed on a backswing. Lol. Tom Watson and the Americans carried cough drops during Ryder cup events, not that it did any good.
Yes Seve was a bit shity some times but you couldn't be annoyed with him,could you.!!!!
I thought this was going to be a "what a great guy Seve was" story.
Eileen Dover Not a lot of those stories around, but he was an amazing player.
I attended about 30 professional events, eight majors. In those 120 rounds and countless shots, i only saw one man cheat, Seve. 1st hole at Augusta in Seve's first appearance. I was there.
What did you see???
As u can't elaborate clearly u saw nothing and just didn't like him! And apart from the masters he played little golf in America and he wasn't accepted purely bc he wasn't American. Typical American fans of the time.
and while you was there i was honking your mama
Who the hell brings fruitcake as a snack?
a fruitcake of course
Cheaters
High calorie in a small package would be my reasoning.
Cockney bell ends
Randy Bailin laced with Spanish brandy!
I love how fans clapped after Seve’s terrible etiquette was allowed and rewarded. Seemed like a comedic sketch at that point.
nickderonde You could tell from Price’s Body Language at the end ; He wasn’t the least bit happy with Seve’s actions . Nick Price isn’t new to the game of golf last time I checked . He could see through Seve’s horseshit. He was only receptive to Seve’s friendly hug because there were people around. Otherwise, I’m sure he would’ve told him to fuck off and just shook his hand 😂😂😂😂
nickderonde The fans are sheeple unfortunately.
Lol, who said golf was boring !
Seve he was famous for those types of stunts
Seve was famous for coughing and playing with the velcro on his glove while others were hitting. His gamesmanship antics are legendary. I know he was some kind of god to the Euros but, frankly, I could never stand the man.
Johnny Threebullcocks...... He’d have to catch me first....Oh , and the by the way Johnny Three Bullcocks , I may be cunty..... but NOBODY calls me fat ......I’m fucking with you bro ....😂😂😂😂😎😎😎
Golf is a gentleman’s game, I agree that he should of just have given Price the putt. Seve, in my eyes is not a legend. Jack Nicklaus was and would have given him the putt
Anthony Otero Thank you...
@@anthonyotero9175 Jack would have gave him the putt without question! Jack Nicklaus wanted to beat his opponents. Never once did he want anything free. Never once would he have accepted a win that way
Seve was one of the greats, but honestly all of Europe are too high on their individual golfers. People just dont understand that someone say Tom Watson would be the greatest European golfer ever he was born anywhere in Europe. He is what the 4th or 5th best American all time? Forget Ryder Cup results.. I am talking about individual wins and majors.
Seve the love of my life
numerous accounts of Seve being a scumbag yet he still is adored. People are stupid.
Yet tiger is adored by many
All due respect to seve,R.I.P . Gamesmanship had a lot to do with his success in match play, along with a stellar short game, but karma goes both ways. ' 86 masters when a deafening Jack roar put him off and donked one in the drink at 15... Never the same after that
1,000 likes come on lets go!!!!!!!
Where is the cake?
Seve always seem to develop a cough during Ryder Cup week as well.
Not a fan of stuff like this, really hope it was unintentional.
Bring fruitcake to add weight to your bag, not to eat.
NoIsaidposse Keeps your bag propped up too and also works wonderfully as a door stop or coffee table leveler 😂😂😂😂
Back when HUGO BOSS clothing was made in Germany. Not like the garbage that's made today.
what?
Like the SS uniforms he designed?
That’s very important in life!! Sweet Jesus 😳
Notice the huge crowd,before Tiger?????,came along,?????????
Pete Smith burp
Tigers crowd were all the women he was er.. Seeing
A European Tour player confirmed, that Ballesteros was not a nice person at all. For sure he was a genious with regards to recovery shots from all sorts of impossible lies...
1000 players of the european tour confirmed that Ballesteros was a magnificent person and the best player. We will accept the comment of one.
@@lacoronasl Much appreciated! I got this information from a Spanish pro, who played with Seve on the European Tour in the 70s/80s.
But frankly what do I know!
Maybe my 'source' just had a personal problem with Seve, nevermind...
Seve Ballesteros was one of the biggest frauds and cheaters in pro golf....and there are plenty of other stories similar to this one. If he had any spirit of the game at all, he would have given Nick Price the putt. The fact that Price made the putt doesn't diminish the unsportsmanlike conduct of Ballesteros. Not quite as bad as Sergio spitting in the holes...but close. These ppl are uncouth.
Tiger wouldve ripped seve apart
Tiger was too busy ripping cheeks apart!
you're having a laugh, innit...
Hand DOWN !!! Best comment I have ever read. Good night !
Tiger's a better golfer - his record shows that, but Sergio's beaten Tiger before in matchplay & Seve was more successful than Sergio so think they were a bit closer than Tiger ripping Seve apart.
Tiger got beat up by his ex wife.
Seve would break him in half
As if that was Seve's only cough infraction. He developed a cough every Ryder Cup.
More interestingly did seve enjoy the cake ?
Campbell Black The only cakes he truly deserves judging from his asshole antics , are used urinal cakes 😂😂😂😂
Legend
The whole thing would have been worth it had it ended with "that's just what happened on the course, later that night Seve got battered and ended up running around the putting green with his pants down and fell on one of those little flags and it penetrated him"
Spare me lionizing Seve . . . I was at Augusta during Seve's first competitive round. On the first hole, he pushed his drive 10 yards past the fairway bunker, but, 35 yards right of the bunker, deep in the trees. He stalked out to the fairway and then came back and looked at his ball right up against a tree. No real option other than returning to the tee and hitting his third shot. Did that happen? No. Seve proceeded to badger first a Marshall, later a Rules Official all with very broken language. What he was contending was the camera tower on the right side of #1 green was in his line of play and he was entitled to relief. What a joke. Both the Marshall and R O told him "No". He pretended he didn't understand and proceeded to take a free drop and went on to par the hole. Also, Tom Watson, playing partner, well-known self-righteous rules/etiquette enforcer (ask McCord or Player), FAILED to come over and weigh in on the dispute to 'protect the field'. I was there. Seve was a disgrace to the game.
What a Snake .... Overrated player in my opinion, “Oooohhhh you can hit it out of tall grass or from underneath some shitty bush ..... nobody cares .....Tigers’ short game was always light years ahead along with several others as well .
Seve could beat most golfers with one club genius
I was there too and you and the Marshall told me that Seve was right. Seve is the greatest golfer of all time.
So, you were there . . . so, what was Seve's tee-time? If you were there, you obviously know that.
@@philmontejano5971 Yeah, sure if he had enough change in his pocket that he could rattle during his opponent's backswing. Totally classless jerk.
Lee mcllum
Nicklaus would've conceded the hole when he coughed
& that's a good story ?
Does this "top caddy" understand matchplay much less, competition at all? What are you saying by giving Price that putt? You can't be a nice guy and expect to win. Doesn't matter how it happened. Giving Price the putt would consummate a show of weakness all around. Bad enough Seve made a mistake, and unfortunate as it is, you don't make concessions on that level or any level of golf
drewster85 Seve made no mistake he was famous for coughing in someone’s backswing.
drewster85 burp
Match play is all about Psychological Warfare with some opponents. Ballesteros is a good example of that . Total asshole with no respect.
Hets a foot behind it, doofs it! 2:06
A very dull story
One of the most boring anecdotes of all time.
Good Jon Seve never got on Who wants be a millionaire?
You've just proved how boring golf is. Zzzzzzzz
J Lo so why did you watch it all and then comment?
Sam Wise thank you for taking an interest in my opinion. I was very drunk at the time of this comment and was sat like am now, taking a shit. If you enjoy getting golf I'm sorry if my opinion offended you. Oh well back to work. Poo over.
And YOUVE just proven how ignorantly rude some humans can be.
John jsmit and you've just proven how illiterate you are. Ha Ha.
illiterate ? Oh please defend your premise
