Seve walked thru a crowd of people, passed myself and onto the practice area at The Belfry for the 1989 Ryder Cup. As he emerged from the crowd, he was greeted with the loudest crowd 'roar' and applause that sent a shiver of pride down my spine. The 'main man' had just entered the arena... and we all knew it!!! Heaven knows how an American golfer felt at hearing that sound from all of us. (the spectators). The atmosphere was electric, and we were only on the practice area!! This video bought back all the memories of Seve on that day. The sound of the ball strike is exactly as I remember it. A pure, crisp 'crack' as the club struck the ball. With The Belfry just 10 mins away from where I live, I've been lucky enough to have attended three Ryder Cups and seen many great players at The Belfry over the years... but no-one comes close to Save Ballesteros. In my mind, Seve had the greatest golf swing you will ever see live!
Ive got a number of photos of Seve in full flow, when I looked at them closely and well zoomed in i swear on my life you can see an electric field round Seve like the old ready break adverts of the glowing kid walking to school (if you are english and about 40?) ...I got one shot of him at Lytham in the open and he's literally got a vortex of energy coming out of the top of his head....in purple/blue...so faint but its there i promise you. I paint artwork of seve so I notice the detail in the photos. Then he goes and dies of a brain tumor. coincidence? Probably he was 'plugged in' to some sort of cosmic energy but his brain couldnt take it. Ive seen him play in the open and its like experiencing a localised storm rolling in across the golf course...the static electricity like you said was amazing. That is something special.
@neilpidgeon6150 I just want to say I could almost have written your message based on my one close up experience with Seve. In the late 80’s I used to go to the world matchplay and PGA at Wentworth and whilst reminiscing about it recently with an old golf buddy he asked who was impressive. I said certain things stick in my mind, like how big Faldo was, how the best strike I ever witnessed was a Brett Ogle tee shot off the 1st, but what was most striking was that if you stood anywhere near Seve you felt this strange field of energy coming off him. I couldn’t explain it any clearer than saying it was like a magnetic force that enveloped him. Never felt it before or since. I was definitely not normal and I have no explanation for it to this day. So I was pleased to see your message. Hope you are well!
When Tiger said Seve was "virtually unbeatable at his best", he was referrering to when Seve swang the club like this. His short game always stood second to none. So this is as good as it gets in golf gents.
Can’t believe he’s gone. For a time he was the greatest golfer ever! There will never be another Seve. So much fun to watch on TV. When he was in form, he had no equal.
17 years ago I was a photographer for a small local golfing magazine , Seve was playing in a pro am, the golf writer instructed me to call him Mr Ballesteros all the time. The result? He invited us to walk the course with him, a true gentleman who shot seven under while laughing and joking with an adoring crowd. A perfect day I will long remember.
When Seve smiled the whole world smiled with him, when Seve scowled everyone looked down at their toes. A beautiful classical golf swing, a fantastic competitor, a great man. I have been fortunate to see many wonderful golfers over the decades but Seve was very very special.
Pure poetry. This was before his back problems started affecting his swing. This is THE best swing ever from THE most charismatic and talented sportsman ever. And thats across all sports, not just golf.
Totally agree. The greatest swing ever. In 1990 when his back problems became too severe his swing had to change & he was never as free and flamboyant as he was in his prime.. Without the back problems Seve would have doubled his major tally.
An all time talent - dug out of pure determination and will to succeed. Seve the worlds great gentleman of the game and all sport. Never will be forgotten ❤ 👊
This is a treasured video, thank so much! What a wonderful effortless swing, beautiful balance, high follow through, magical setup. Just so nice to watch. I like the swings of Snead, Hogan, Weiskopf, Geiberger, Els and many more but Seve's really stood out. Playing in the 80's my self, a great swing and result was what golf was all about, pure sounds with blade irons hitting blata balls in the sweet spot only! I do miss golf, until watching this video I need to head down to the range again, Young players please pay ATTENTION, watch and learn, the grip, the stance, the knees, shoulders and don't forget the follow through, never HIT a ball, strike it effortlessly, rhythm, think rhythm. Go to the range, I use to play 12 hours day in my school holidays!
David, thanks so much for this. For some time now, I have tried to watch video of Seve before I play, trying to capture that rhythm. This was a magical tape - it speaks to the beautiful swing and the striking. I met Seve in Madrid a few years ago, and I'm very happy I did. The one thing I wanted to tell him was how much pleasure he had given to so many people, and I think he appreciated that. With his health falling apart, and his marriage failing, and unshaven on the course playing the Madrid Open, there was still something very, very special about following him, as I did for several holes, inside the ropes. I even saw him subtly trying to intimidate an official into giving him a drop (which he didn't get). I first saw Seve live at Moyola Park in N Ireland (video available on RUclips) when he did all the putter tricks on the putting green before teeing off - he'd won The Masters that year, and although he shot around par that day, he was wonderful to watch in all departments of the game. I also saw him live at Oak Hill in the Ryder Cup, when he lost to Tom Lehman in the singles - BUT Lehman hit every green in regulation, and Seve was all over the place, and still took Lehman to the 15th. RIP Seve. Thanks again, David.
Amazing, I used to go to Wentworth for match play and PGA, followed seve on many occasions, my favourite 2 golfers ever him and faldo, these were the days when golf was exciting, not like today, I just can't explain to people just how charismatic the golfers were in the 80s and 90s, not the money making machines of today, they played golf because they loved it and that came through in the atmosphere that they created. True giants, the gods of golf
The young Maestro at work, beautiful to watch, free flowing, graceful power. This is the way a golf club should be swung. Was lucky enough to see him practice at 1985 Ryder Cup and that was special. Sadly did not have a video camera. Long live the King!
Just perfection. Best tempo I have ever seen. Seve was an underrated artist. A golfing genius without given his just due. Nicklaus and Woods don’t swing it that well, and never will.
I can give you he had better swing than Nicklaus but Woods? Come on. Woods made it look so so easy(and still does) due to the fact he was not only a perfectionist but athletic.
Seve was the reason I started playing golf we all wanted to play like him swashbuckling his escapes from troublesome positions are legendary I always say my claim to fame is I've been to places on a golf course that seve had never been an absolute genius and legend so charismatic too only one Severiano Ballesteros 😀⛳🏌️R.I.P legend
This is poetry in motion. An inspiring piece of film, that wants me to get down the range and start hitting balls. If only I could hit them like that....
I followed Seve around Wentworth. He was a birdie machine, pure genius. I saw him Captain the European team to victory in the Ryder Cup. He wanted to win so much, not being able to play in that Ryder cup was so difficult for him. In his prime he is among the greatest if not the greatest to have ever played the game.
Although he came from a poor background he was a natural aristocrat. His sometimes erratic tendencies, along with his back problems, meant his haul of major championships was relatively slim in the end but that's not his legacy. He was the game's true cavalier and greatest artist. I watched this video all the way through and felt sad when it ended. Only a few really transcend their sport and Seve was one of them. And that swing was a thing of effortless beauty.There's no tension in it which is why you can watch him hit the ball over and over again. Majestic.
Thanks for the input, he certainly oozes pure class! I remember watching him during a practice round at the World Matchplay and a young boy said you didn't hit that seven very far, Seve said he was controlling the distance , then preceded to hit the same club another twenty yards longer! He could make the ball do anything!
Watched him play at Westchester CC during the old Buick classic. I believe in 1988 when he won. He walked out of the clubhouse to the range like a Greek God. A Spartan ready for battle. This man had an aura. Thanks for the video
Apparently, he used to fine the caddy if he lost one. I also heard tale of his caddy standing with a baseball glove catching wedge shots and barely having to move. Not sure if that's true, but it's a good story.
I watched Seve hitting balls on the range at Wentworth - I've watched Greg Norman, Faldo, Els, Elkington and loads more from that era. Can honestly say his ball striking was the most memorable...he went out and shot 65 that day so was on form. Glad I got to experience it, every shot followed exactly the same trajectory, same shape. Was mesmerising ..
That kids is how you swing a golf club ❤ Seve pure class - one if golfs all time great gentleman of the game . Rest easy Seve you will never be forgotten ⛳️
Simply a beautiful, effortless swing; his game never seemed to be the same , after he hooked that 4 iron into the pond on the last day of the '86 masters; just perfect ball striking.
Watching Seve hitting blades, when golf was more about art than technology. I think hearing the crowd roar when he hit it in the water at the 86 Masters was something he never got over. He knew they wanted Jack to win, broke his heart.
I played with Slazenger's Seve blades for about four years. High quality forged irons with no off-set. Nickel plated too, so that if the chrome wore thin, there was a vaguely brass-coloured tinge to the club face.
Seve was and always will be my idol. He was a true gentleman and a master. Amazing character and absolutely fantastic to follow and watch! Massive loss to the game of golf and to the world! RIP Seve I watched him practice from a bunker in Valderama for the Volvo masters and he was chipping out of a bunker into a practice ball bucket. I couldn’t believe my eyes the control and accuracy time and time again. There will only ever be one player like Seve no one else compares to him PERIOD.
The most impressive (everything else is impressive BTW!) thing I found with Seve, was his posture at address. Equipment wise 'Slazenger' were once a great golfing company.
The footwork is amazing. When he takes the club back, he looks like he is standing on a crate of eggs and doesn’t wAnt to break them. Amazing how he is connected to the ground.
I am not native, but this lovely video has some lovely comments. 2:47 "The strike, you hear it?" 3:13 "Pure, pure". 3:40 (what did you say there?) 4:45 "Makes me wanna clap!" 5:36 "The noise it makes. He just makes a different noise to his guy". 6:36 "..... (what?) .... tomorrow morning".
If anybody had more influence the Seve in the 80s and 90s I have yet to see them . Myself and a gang of hackers would get to our ball in a difficult position and the words were always the same "if Seve had this shot he would do xxxxxx" True legend and sadly missed in the UK God bless him and RIP Seve
I saw Seve at Torrey Pines when he was playing the tour back in the 80s. I got close enough to him that I made a point of walking in his footsteps for about ten paces.
I hear you as I idolized Seve and sometimes I imagine myself as him when I’m playing golf in hopes of some of his magic somehow influencing my swing. He was as close to perfect as a human being could be. Looks, intelligence, talent, presence, charisma, swing, humility, character, courage, short game.......and on and on. Had he more luck, like he needed any, he would have won 11 majors. ‘76 Open, ‘82 Masters, ‘85 Masters, ‘86 Masters, ‘87 Masters, ‘89 Masters. He almost won the US Open one year as well. Was he any good?
@@aha3885 yes, I admired him. Jack was "my guy" but it hurt to see him lose both the 1986 and 1987 Masters. He could have easily won one if not both of those. What a great player and competitor.
I once had the privilege to see him hit similar practice shots standing very close to him. Two things struck me: crisp contact shot after shot, and most importantly the absolute softness of his arms and hands.
Absolute genius at work, so much rhythm & grace. He never forces the shot, it’s just poetry in motion, effortless power instead of powerless effort. What is incredible is that how did he lose this magic??
Die InternetFahrschule I don't know anything about golf, but I can see this is poetry. My dad won a round with him in a raffle in the early 90s and I wanted to see him in action. God bless the internet :)
So glad someone else thinks this, I grew up watching all these golfers and hands down their is nobody around in this era that I truly get excited about watching it's all just an anticlimax now watching tournament golf
![What 2 Handicap Golf Look Like... [Every Shot]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/N42jwuhoEKQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I could watch this all day. The timing and rhythm here is ridiculously good.
Perfection - artistry - none of the crazy smash it stuff of today's. RIP Seve

@@alexchancockhis brothers say his best swing and best game was when he was 16.
That’s not golf, it’s art. RIP Seve
Yes that’s how I remember the great Seve..had the pleasure to play on tour the same yr & be right there priceless time
When Tiger said Seve was "virtually unbeatable at his best", he was referrering to when Seve swang the club like this. His short game always stood second to none. So this is as good as it gets in golf gents.
Just think, if not for this video this moment would be lost in time.... thank goodness we still have this beautiful piece of history.
Agree. Imagine if had similar for Snead too

Pure poetry. This was before his back problems started affecting his swing. This is THE best swing ever from THE most charismatic and talented sportsman ever. And thats across all sports, not just golf.
I thought he was excellent when he was working with Leadbetter who got him swinging a bit flatter - that was about '88.
Totally agree. The greatest swing ever. In 1990 when his back problems became too severe his swing had to change & he was never as free and flamboyant as he was in his prime.. Without the back problems Seve would have doubled his major tally.

The effortless motion through the swing and the balance is a god given talent RIP Seve
Definitely not. No one has that much talent in golf, it all takes work and repetition
@@thegolfdude he was naturally gifted. Yes, all greats have to work but he had a lot to work with naturally.
Seve's swing was a thing of beauty to me. Effortless, rhythmical, powerful and simple. RIP great man.
Stunning video David - makes me emotional watching it. Am extraordinarily pleased you took the time to put it up.
Me too. Loved the guy. In his prime there was no swing as graceful.
Great video! The Champ at work! There will never be another Seve!

I think a large part of that is the equipment any clown can hit a giant ti driver. A persimmon headed one on the other hand is a different matter.
Once in Gothenburg I was standing beside him on the range - and i never forget thet moment - and the sound when he hit the ball.
The young Maestro at work, beautiful to watch, free flowing, graceful power. This is the way a golf club should be swung. Was lucky enough to see him practice at 1985 Ryder Cup and that was special. Sadly did not have a video camera. Long live the King!

Just mesmerising watching him play. Love Seve. RIP

Yes it was amazing to be so close to a genius & watching him make it look SO easy! Glad you enjoyed it too!
I can watch this all day! what an effortless swing!
I never noticed before how the smoothness reminds me of Fred Couples too. Miss you Seve
He’s my favourite golfer of all time. I see that the caddy is picking up the balls as he hits them. Very old school.....

He makes it look so easy. RIP to the master. Happened to watch the movie 'Seve' today. Good movie.
look at the divots - perfect lines; mine look like the lead into a pelican crossing....

What a good video of one of the games greatest, he is so relaxed in his swing, we could all learn from this gem of a video

Fantastic. I used to go to the Matchplay every year. I even turned up in 1987, thinking the storm wouldn't have affected it!
The most impressive (everything else is impressive BTW!) thing I found with Seve, was his posture at address. Equipment wise 'Slazenger' were once a great golfing company.
The footwork is amazing. When he takes the club back, he looks like he is standing on a crate of eggs and doesn’t wAnt to break them. Amazing how he is connected to the ground.
Tiger definitely used SEVe as inspiration and his swing
I am not native, but this lovely video has some lovely comments.

3:40 (what did you say there?)
4:45 "Makes me wanna clap!"
5:36 "The noise it makes. He just makes a different noise to his guy".

So relaxed and in control, the Master!
Indeed! It was a pleasure to watch him practice!
just beautiful. bet he is having a a glass of rioja with payne stewart in heaven.god bless you sevvy
Seve was pure quality, he just oozed class. What a swing, effortless ❤. Great guy.
Best European golfer ever .
Purest ball striking you'll ever see or hear.........with no effort what-so-ever. Just watch and learn from the best.
Class, still one of my Golf heroes. Very much missed.
Wow.Wow.Wow. My Hero in action.
No trackman...nothing...just the sweet sound of the ball off the middle of a blade.
What a legend. Gone way too soon. RIP Seve
great looking swing fun to watch thanks for posting

Yer Seve head and shoulders the best, with fellow legends Norman, Langer, Faldo trailing in his wake.
Norman ruled the 90's and much of the late 80's, although I always loved Seve
バレステロスは柔らかな筋肉で、何処にも淀みがない隙がない。アドレス構えた通りにオンプレーンにクラブがインパクト迄戻り、ダンブローに捕まえてアドレス構えた膝は終始、つぱらず背中の角度を変えずにフォローからフィニッシュする。完璧なスイング。女子では岡本綾子選手が膝を柔らかく使う選手は日本には居ない。ソフトボールで鍛えた膝の筋力、背筋、腹筋が無いと膝を柔かく使う事が出来ない。バレステロスと似通っている所がある。岡本選手もアドレス構えた通りにクラブがオンプレーンをなぞりインパクトフォロー、フィニッシュまで終始膝の突っ張りは一切無い❗完璧なスイング。
I saw Seve at Torrey Pines when he was playing the tour back in the 80s. I got close enough to him that I made a point of walking in his footsteps for about ten paces.
I hear you as I idolized Seve and sometimes I imagine myself as him when I’m playing golf in hopes of some of his magic somehow influencing my swing. He was as close to perfect as a human being could be. Looks, intelligence, talent, presence, charisma, swing, humility, character, courage, short game.......and on and on. Had he more luck, like he needed any, he would have won 11 majors. ‘76 Open, ‘82 Masters, ‘85 Masters, ‘86 Masters, ‘87 Masters, ‘89 Masters. He almost won the US Open one year as well. Was he any good?

@@aha3885 yes, I admired him. Jack was "my guy" but it hurt to see him lose both the 1986 and 1987 Masters. He could have easily won one if not both of those. What a great player and competitor.
Thank you for sharing!
same rythum all clubs,lovely calm swing
I once had the privilege to see him hit similar practice shots standing very close to him. Two things struck me: crisp contact shot after shot, and most importantly the absolute softness of his arms and hands.
Those are some masterful divots
Absolute genius at work, so much rhythm & grace. He never forces the shot, it’s just poetry in motion, effortless power instead of powerless effort. What is incredible is that how did he lose this magic??
He started listening to golf 'gurus' like many more and got lost.
Thank you for that David
Poetry....fluid.....natural.....magical.....Seve

Die InternetFahrschule I don't know anything about golf, but I can see this is poetry. My dad won a round with him in a raffle in the early 90s and I wanted to see him in action. God bless the internet :)
this is era is when i met my heroes! RIP Seve
Do you have any more Seve videos?
beautiful swing ever!♡
David, his irons seem to sit a tad flat, maybe -1. Do you know the specs? Cheers,
A shame that Broadcasters prefer clips of the odd wilder swings at Lytham in 79, what I remember was the grace, rhythm and power
a good swing to emulate and try to conjur up when you play.
The most exciting golfer ever there is no one like him now and that is whats wrong with golf now
So glad someone else thinks this, I grew up watching all these golfers and hands down their is nobody around in this era that I truly get excited about watching it's all just an anticlimax now watching tournament golf
That sound! ball then turf. He was the best.
4:45 "Makes me want to clap" Great stuff thanks for sharing this, must have been amazing to watch in person
So relaxed over the ball.
Like Federer & Ali. Pure grace
So good... what a legend
