Severiano Ballesteros RIP
Time to mourn the passing of one of the greatest golfers who ever lived.
Wonderful to watch and a fine, brave human being. When he was on one of his famous "charges", there was no more exciting sight in sport.
I hope he's giving Jesus putting lessons. Sleep well, Seve.
But pleasures are like poppies spread
You seize the flow'r, the bloom is shed

Re: Severiano Ballesteros RIP
RIP Seve -the one man who transformed European golf more than any other. He was also a decent bloke, a man of great sensitivity and I know it sounds cheesy but he was one of sport's 'Mr Nice Guys', and there arent that many, although Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer come close.

Re: Severiano Ballesteros RIP
when you hear these young european golfers talk about their inspiration they talk about seve. i loved to watch him play - fail or succeed.

Re: Severiano Ballesteros RIP
glad to see you posted him at his pinacle...st andrews 84...
cant remember who said it but recently someone said that seve used the fist pump to show his passion, now players like tiger have made it ugly
he was a genius, a pioneer, ambassador and a spokesman, he raised the profile of european golf in a way that no faldo, langer, woosnam etc could be capable of. he is loved around the world and he is a massive loss. i had the pleasure of meeting him at a ryder cup one year when i was working, and he was a total gentleman despite the pressure he and the team were under. a real loss. rip seve
