RIP Seve. A great golfer and an inspiration to me and my mates when we were learning the game when we were nippers. Always had time to smile and chat; the European game wouldn't be where it is now without him.

Absolute legend.

I don't think the Ryder Cup would be what it is today if it wasn't for Seve. A true sporting legend.

 

Think you could actually say that perhaps golf wouldn't be what it is today without him. A sporting genius as well as a legend.

 

I had the good fortune to Marhsall for him some 12 years ago when he last played down here in Dubai (it was that day which got me hooked on the work).

 

His powers were fading, on the 2nd he hooked his drive some 150 yards left and onto some sand having missed a parallel fairway, there were trees an impossible lie and yet he put the ball 2 feet from the flag for a birdie.

 

At the end of his round, his first act was to come and thank each one of us volunteers personnally for staying with him, something only a few modern players even think about doing, then went out and made sure he did not miss any fan wanting an autograph.

 

A true gentleman and sadly missed
