Ah, it was probably the International Pro Celebrity from Gleneagles. My dad was an avid viewer. I didn't play golf back then, by seeing Seve made me take it up.
Birkdale in 76 - he was only 19. Led after 3 rounds - had trouble on the final day - but finished with great play on 17 and 18 to tie Jack for 2nd. We thought he’d be a star even then, just didn’t realize how big a star for Europe.
Saw him dozens of times close up. Everytime you saw him was like the first time. Without doubt the most graceful swing ever along with Payne Stewart !!!
The most charismatic person in golf, ever. What joy to watch, especially in person and I used to go watch him up close with Lee Trevino in the old Pro-Celebrity at Gleneagles, Ladybank GC playing Jack Nicklaus for the opening of the Old Course Hotel, and the greatest 18th hole celebration, winning the Open on the Old Course. He has left an indelible image in sport and greatly missed.
Watched him up close at the Irish Open in 1985. He birdied 15, 16 and 17 to catch Langer who had finished with 63. Seve then birdied 18 to win playoff. One of his many great wins, Open champ beats Masters champ. He had an exceptional knack of doing something really special on the 18th when he needed to.
I remember as it was yesterday. Masters 1987! The first time I watched golf, ever. I immediately wanted to become a golfer, but back then in Denmark, golf was only known to a few and we had very few golf courses and not "an activity" for kids. Followed Seve ever since, and still a big fan today. Started playing golf 2002 when moving to the UK. Seve was always my inspiration.
I followed Seve in the third round that year, and in ‘88. The crowd support for him both times was just incredible. He could be moody and a difficult guy to play with (because he was so much in his own bubble), but his smile when he played well just lit up the world. It was so disappointing that he faded in the final round at Birkdale, but he’d already had several nervy last rounds that year so perhaps we should’ve seen it coming.
I went to the 1991 Open on the Thursday, witnessed the best golf shot I've ever seen in person by an American golfer called Jodie Mudd. He hit a wedge shot out of a whin bush on to the green, just about every other golfer would've been chipping out sideways.
Jesus Christ is Lord 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
When was the first time you saw Seve play on television or in person?

Lytham in ‘88. It was like seeing Elvis

ditto - then in person -'84, St Andrews, Sunday🤩@@il-lupo
gleneagles, bells scottish open with my dad. billy on the bag. par 3 tee box.
When you see Seve swinging the club, you wonder how he ever hit a ball offline. His swing was a thing of beauty.
He was so admired, a swashbuckling hero of the fairways. When he smiled we all smiled with him. Favourite forever.
One of the greatest gentleman of the game ❤

This guy was MAGIC! No one like him before or after

What a legend!
No one did it better …. By far the most charismatic and loved golfer ❤️
Golden smile to go with a golden swing. Golf still misses Seve.
You could never get tired of watching him swing a golf club
One of the last seasons Seve swung the club freely before the back injury became unmanageable. Absolute genius.
Seve a priceless gift to golf.,

On telly Birkdale 1976, up close Lytham 1988 saw him all four rounds close up. !! Greatest swing ever !!!
One of my treasured pieces is a program at the World Matchplay signed by the great man hanging in my office at home.

Unique and still sorely missed.
suntory world match play,loved him so much,had it all!
The true master ❤
Poetry in motion
Seve, un GENIO. Golf EXCITANTE, PODEROSO.
He had something extra

Golfing World was handed a Great Loss when Seve Died....He was class like Arnie...
この風の中で・・・・。スイング理論の確立化（＆道具の低スピン化）されつつある今のゴルフならあるかもだけど、当時としては凄すぎ。
seve
Watch the video “Seve” at the end the, so called, “hard man” of golf, Nick Faldo, cries like a baby at Seves funeral, it’s very sad.
