The magic of Seve Ballesteros RIP - 5 of his very best moments in Golf. (GolfGoon.com) 

From the first time I saw him in the open in 1976, I followed his career all his playing life, what a man, I can honestly say I loved him, or should I say admired him, no I loved him, his talent was unique imagination beyond comprehension. SEVE the one and only. 🇪🇸 ⛳ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

My childhood hero from the first time I ever saw him play. He was passionate, talented, exciting, feisty, funny and, quite frankly the coolest person I had ever seen!!

Simply, simply, Seve. Simply the best!!

Seve was my favourite player of all time and in my opinion the most naturally gifted and talented player ever. Seve was a genius and will always be a legend who will never be forgotten.

RIP Seve - we all miss your magical golf skills

Thank you seve for all you did to this sport.

Magnificent..........the greatest golfer I have ever seen. I hope you are teaching my mum to swing like you in heaven xxx

"Mr. Feherty... What's the craziest and/or best shot you saw Seve perform?" Here's a great Seve story, and golf in general... I was at Feherty's speaking tour, chatting his life in and out of golf, and at the end he asked the crowd if they had questions. I got picked. "Well uh, thank you Mr. Feherty... I remember you golfing in the same era as Seve Ballesteros. He was quite a creative shotmaker - what was the zaniest or best shot you saw him make?" Feherty:(sigh)"Well, it was back when I played in Europe... during a Match game - me and my partner vs Seve Ballesteros and his. So we were up by 1 on the 17th, a dogleg par 4. Bunkers guarded the corner. The weather was godawful, or in Scotland, "slightly damp" Me, my partner, and his drove the fairway, but Seve was in the fairway bunker - (one of those old British ones, where you needed a ladder to get into lol^^). Wind howling, we all chipped over the corner, then chipped from 80 to 100ish yards, and we all got about an 8-10ft par putt up ahead. I turned to my partner, nudged him, and whispered, 'Nice man, we got this one in the bag'. Well, Seve walked in the bunker with a three-iron... He takes a full swing, WAILS at the ball - gigantic puff of sand. It blasts into the side of this cavern, and goes flying some hundred feet in the air... Lands in the green, 4 feet from the pin, for a birdie putt. All our jaws had dropped. We were just staring at him.He took one look at us and in broken English goes... 'What? It's a... what you call in english... "Bank shot", no? Bah!" He tied it up, and we lost on 18.

Breathtakingly special guy with a golf club! How we miss you.

Seve was simply the best--That juggling display at the end was absolutely incredible, INCREDIBLE

We love you Seve!

The most entertaining, naturally gifted , charismatic golfer EVER Has to be the most loved player too - by his fans and the players who knew him. RIP Seve

Loved watching Seve play. Miss characters like him.

The trick shot's and ball juggling are great but to see him on the links with the wind blowing must really have been something. A true legend and icon taken far too soon.

To my mind the most mercurial short game of all time. I really miss Seve.

I still think often about Seve. He was a big important figure during my childhood in the 70s and 80s. As an amateur golf player myself, Seve was legendary. Fun fact. Seve patted my head when I was 3-4 years old. I don´t remember it unfortunately, but I´ve been told the story many times. During a golf tournament where Seve played and won :)

Seve... be victorious this new year!

Seve was the Elvis Presley of golf

Have just watched a tribute programme to a true legend and brought a tear to my eye nothing else to be said !!

Amazing man.. pure genius....

What a passion for the game, for life, that he has!

genius, legend......simply the best

Still can't believe that this great man is no longer with us, but legends never die 😉👍

The great Ryder Cup matches began with him. Parring from nowhere, never giving up. His spirit was on display in the 2012 Ryder Cup.

I grew up watching and being inspired by Seve as a boy, and I played as a junior from 9-16 years old, until I was pushed too far by an overbearing father who was trying to live-out his fantasy of being a pro through me, and then I was told I had to pay my own fees - it just so happened that beer and girls were more appealing to me back then, so golf was dropped! I've always had a hankering to get back into it, and 34 years on, Seve is once again an inspiration to me. I was just gifted a new set of clubs and I'm at the driving range trying to remember all of the old lessons I had back then, and I'm making improvements! For me, Seve was the first person who made golf a bit cooler that it used to be, not Tiger Woods, or footballers like Michael Owen! It was all brogue shoes with spikes, slacks and woolen Burberry jumpers back then. No fluorescent socks, trainers or earrings were allowed! It was so rigid, conservative and anal back in the '70's and' 80's. I'm now seeing shoes that look like trainers, trousers that look like tracksuit bottoms and hoodies! The game has changed so much in the last few decades, and all for the better in my opinion. Much more encouraging for a younger generation than it was for me. Rip, Seve, the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long! I wonder what you'd think of golf today!? Long live RU-vid! Best invention ever!

pure magic

unbelievable hand eye coordination this is the root of his ability to play every golf shot he made

Serveriano Ballesteros and Emerson Fittipaldi; the most beautiful names in sport

How I miss this great guy 🙁

thank you

People's champion forever

He put European golf on the map. RIP Seve

How can anybody say a bad word about this man? You people don't understand the true meaning of the "best" the world has ever seen!

He was a great one.

"5 of his very best moments" should include "caught on tape" Seve had many, many which were never even filmed but that are still talked about to this day.

My favorite,

Gone wayyy too soon.😢

There was only ever one seve. Never again..r.i.p.

GOATED with the irons

Jesus , I miss Seve .

life is too short. I believe Steve finished his purpose to inspire us Golfers!

No man did more to put golf in minds of ordinary people. First Europeans the Americans feared and respected.

Nunca nadie mas como seve .

Gods watching Seve wondering how does he do that?

Basically a genius.

Seve Ballesteros was a genius.

so cool. lets go!

We miss you Seve

Ryder Cup 2012 they did it for you Seve !!!

🙏 Seve

All I can say is thank God Seve couldn't hit the ball straight off the tee since otherwise Seve couldn't have shown the world his genius with a little white ball and metal stick...

A real life fairytale. Would make an incredible film one day.

"" Myrtle box", I petty you , man !!!

If the round is going well and you are striking well - it is one thing but when adversity strikes it becomes tough to hit the fairway and most post bad scores but Seve just thrived in the areas off the fairway and somehow made par when many others could not - that I think was hit strength in posting scores that were the equivalent of a birdie or better just by getting a par and then pushing on to post an underscore totality.

The biggest

sad day when he went away

It sure took him a lot of tries to get that ball into his pocket. Kept missing hitting his legs, feet, etc.

it's the absence of personalities and characters like Seve, Trevino, Palmer and Nicklaus is what's killing golf. It speaks volumes when Mickleson is the best personality on the tour

Why did he shoot from his knees?

I have a golf ball and it says on it seve ballesteros 3

seve came from a very poor background he had Nothing. thats why he cared about money because none of his family had nothing he learnt to play golf with 1 golf ball and a rusty 3 iron

Why would you think his name was Steve? Just because you speak english? It was Severiano.

how the fuck i've add this to my favorites ???

The original Phil Michelson

god han'ds

Seve Ballesteros y Rafa Nadal....

Did Did he just hit a bunker shot under his f$&@*#% leg?

Seve(riano)

What do we have now a bunch of spoiled brats making millions with all the best endorsements who wine and moan if there's a hair out of place.

These are not five of his very best moments wtf

@myrtlebox And I bet you think your a great person? Just for saying that you suck as a person.... Of courses he's in it for money, would you be if you played in the PGA? He donated to charity a lot and he loved his money, just like every other person in the world does..

A true genius god bless Sevvy
