So jealous. Too young and unaware of the game. I started playing the day he passed. Things happen the way it's meant to be, but boy I'd have loved to be next to you.
I only ever saw him, in the flesh, play one shot - the one at the start of this lovely collection of clips, the one which, more than any other that week in 1976 at Birkdale, made his name as a brilliant, unique talent. I was in the crowd which had run across the fairway on the 18th and I shall never, ever forget the groan from people who thought he'd duffed it turning into the biggest roar of cheering and applause I've ever heard, reverberating seemingly endlessly around the stands. Oh it was magical, just magical.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of The Lord shall be saved for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life
Charm, grace, good looks, charisma, astonishing ability, Severiano had the lot. I will never forget what this great man said as he awaited his passing : "Thank you to all my fans, but please don't cry for me, I've had a fantastic life and career". It still breaks my heart to this day. Its amazing that someone I never knew personally can have such a hold on my emotions. We love you Seve and huge thanks for some magical sporting moments x
a gentleman seve , my young lad approached mc ilroy @ k club 2016 mc ilroy wouldn't sign the child's little book he said he had to go to TV room would have took him 30 seconds my young lad has detested him ever since that day .
Always grinding and producing winning results when faced with the impossible shot, it soon became obvious that he should never be considered out of the race. Under cars and bushes, on tree trunks, in the sand against the lip, or a ball covered with loads of mud, he seemed at his best when faced with situations where others surely would have opted for an unplayable. He could win from anywhere and often did. On those occasions when he was firing on all cylinders, the entire field knew fully well they were likely playing for second place. He was incredible! I was watching his antics in ‘77 when I realized all that truly mattered in competitive golf was getting it in the jar in fewer strokes than those opposing you. Long howitzer shots that split the fairway made the task easier, but making birdie from a lie in a dung heap was even more disruptive to an opponent’s psyche. He understood the shock value of doing that so he never relented. His focus was squarely on the shot at hand and getting it in the hole. I never once saw Seve’ beat himself up over an errant shot. He looked at what he had and valiantly accepted the challenge. I’m very pleased that I got to see him play. Caddying for him was an exercise in frustration. Nobody envisioned things the way he did, so his caddies weren’t able to remain with him for very many years. Walking in the footsteps of genius can be a real chore.
A friend made a post today on FB that made me think of Seve ... He was a magician. Tee to green, as ballstrikers, many players were better. But at greenside, when the wedges and the putter came out, he never had an equal. He turned more bogeys into pars than any golfer I've ever seen. And he had style. God love Seve.
No doubt! When he practiced on the range, the greatest players in the world gathered nearby to watch. The sound of his iron shots was unique and partly was what drew their attention. When truly great ball strikers like Nicklaus, Miller, Weiskoph, and Trevino come stand near to watch, you know it’s special.
The things this dude could do with a golf club...unbelievable the imagination he had....it didn't matter what the station, he was am artist and would figure it out
@@MarkSmithhhh I guess you know that. But he played the bunkers around the green with a 3 iron. The young Seve, from 11 to 16 years old, was something unique. My dad was born and raised very near to Seve's house. They were friends, and the stories my father used to tell me about Seve and his magic...Sci-fi. The man was an absolute genius.
Greg Norman said it best about Seve. Paraphrasing, he said he played golf all over the world and saw many players, but he never saw anyone like Seve. We will never see the likes of him ever again.
I defy you to give this guy a situation on the golf course he couldn't handle...behind a tree, deep in rough where you can barely see the ball, with the ball below his feet with an awkward stance, and a bunker guarding the green...he'd figure it out
Loved it when he was asking once about a ruling when he drove into a bush....had 2 options then asked the rules official what he think seve should do....brilliant, and that's why we loved him
The only thing that puts me off Seve, is being in the woods, or a burn, or under the clubhouse front door, and thinking I could pull off one of them. We keep trying, the spirit of Seve is still strong with my mates and I
Seve was everything major golf shud be about. Every golfer dreams of a short game like Seve's (up until 1997 at least). Pure golfing genius and a gentleman. RIP Seve🙏 We still miss you🥲 10+/10 on his classic major footage; a dream to watch again. Thank you👏😮
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life Call upon Jesus he cares he lived and died a blameless sunless life took our place on a cruel cross for our sins our sins put Jesus on the Cross call upon him get right with your Maker before it’s to Kate today is the day of salvation
Totally amazing man. His passion for the game is unsurpassed, except maybe by Tiger Woods. I always loved to watch how creative he could be when he had what was supposedly an impossible shot.
No one had a passion like Seve, nobody. Tiger woods had what I would say equal dedication to golf, but Seve had a pure passion and love for the game and the game itself.
Seve was a poor sport. He's no genius. He should have given the putt to Nick Price in the final round of the 1991 World Match Play at Wentworth after he choked on a fruit cake while Price was hitting his second. Inexcusable. Watch here: ua-cam.com/video/6I7EGnzYRiU/v-deo.html
I loved Seve. He had a magical spirit, and he lifted Europe. He was the golf equivalent of colour tv
I watched every shot of his 65 last round at Lytham in 1988 from only a few feet away. Something I will remember all my life. !!!!
Glad you enjoyed it.Magic the only way to describe him.Cheers.
Lucky you... I saw him at Sunningdale.. Euro open... He was magic...
So jealous. Too young and unaware of the game. I started playing the day he passed. Things happen the way it's meant to be, but boy I'd have loved to be next to you.
Lucky you in did see him couple times total genius
I’m Proud of you
So proud of UK fans for adopting Seve as 'one of their own'. They loved the man.
The man that made me pick up a golf club a true hero ov mine and everyone ov my generation miss him still today
Para mí,,,el mejor de siempre!!!
My lifelong hero. Skill,artistry, style, fighting spirit. It was a privilege to be ringside to watch his genius at work. Still miss that.

My Absolute Sporting Hero, God Bless you Seve, looking forward to a round when I go upstairs !!

The same, just an amazing person,
A great man and an ambassador for the game. There will never be another Seve. Golf will never be the same as it was in his era.
6 iron from that lie back then . imagine what he'd be like with this new equipment
He signed my little book at the Irish open. My favorite golfer and a gentleman. R.I.P. Seve.

Was there at Lytham in 88.
Magic. That’s the only word for it.
So was I !!
Never get bored of seves Magic and legacy
What a golfer
He's got the caddies rollin' at 4:00! Absolutely brilliant.
El Matador.!!!!!

A brilliant snapshot of a genius!!
The greatest shot maker in the history of the game.

He was practicing on the beach while most were chilling in their country club.
Attitude can carry you through.
Siempre queremos jugar como seve.
Y es lo que nos ha inspirado a jugar ese golf mágico que solo tenía el.
Un genio.
The only thing that puts me off Seve, is being in the woods, or a burn, or under the clubhouse front door, and thinking I could pull off one of them. We keep trying, the spirit of Seve is still strong with my mates and I
Greatest golfer I’ve ever seen. Nowadays with the equipment & technology he would take golf to a new level.
mi 4.03. The caddies.
Simplement magic,,⛳🏌️♂️🏌️♂️🏌️♂️
One of the most exciting golfers to watch!
Back at the top......where he belonged!
We talk about tiger pulling in crowds of fans seve started it all if only tiger had his charisma both legendary though
Dear Seve so true to form and truly the best golfer Les
Seve was everything major golf shud be about. Every golfer dreams of a short game like Seve's (up until 1997 at least). Pure golfing genius and a gentleman. RIP Seve🙏 We still miss you🥲 10+/10 on his classic major footage; a dream to watch again. Thank you👏😮
Simply the best!
I didn't get to the last day at Lytham in '79, but I watched him for the first 3 days. He was a genius, a ball-on-a-string wizard around the green.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life Call upon Jesus he cares he lived and died a blameless sunless life took our place on a cruel cross for our sins our sins put Jesus on the Cross call upon him get right with your Maker before it’s to Kate today is the day of salvation
Loved Seve! Thank you to my father
Who showed my brother and I how
To play!
The most loved oversea golfer and the most favourite golfer to leave us! He was the peoples favourite!
He had a way to make everything he did so effortlessly cool… What a talent.
Gee, didn’t Tony talk a load of Boll..cks?!😳
Totally amazing man. His passion for the game is unsurpassed, except maybe by Tiger Woods. I always loved to watch how creative he could be when he had what was supposedly an impossible shot.

Sounds like you're still choking on that fruitcake
