Last night when I got home from gigs, I read very bad news, the serious deterioration in the health of Seve Ballesteros . Then on Twitter already read rumors of fatal outcome and the radio this morning I confirmed it. Gone is the best English golfer of all time and one of the 4 or 5 big history. 2 Masters, 3 Opens British, 6 units in the Ryder, many European and American tournaments. The Past is impressive, and if it were not for a fucking back injury, would have been even better.
who was Seve golf fans to watch me on TV. I have not picked up an iron or a wood in my life, I've never set foot in a green and not likely to do so, but when Seve began his brilliant career by those links of the British Open and American circuit I became interested in the sport of putting the ball in the hole did not seem so because no one ran and sweated, where everyone dressed as dandies and a man who had brought them the bag. A minority sport with elitist reputation wrong. Was Seve who popularized golf in years in which Spain was seriously short of sports figures. Something like what Alonso has done with F1.
MatÃas Prats I remember the first string (the one he had in fact), in the early 80's, how had the exploits of Seve at St. Andrews, beating impossible in the Amen Corner of Augusta, green jackets, Seve magic. Imagination power. After all vibrate with the Ryder Cup and the couple was invincible with Olazabal. And as captain, a crack.
Seve mythical image of many that have , which I like and probably the most famous, is that putt on the 18th green at St. Andrews to win the British Open was 84. That "I put" and the celebration are living history of Golf. I remember it well because I saw it live. It's been 27 years and the hair like hooks every time I see him.
From this blog, a modest and sincere tribute to the great Seve. Patriotic sporting legend. DEP.
