PGA Tours: Seve Ballesteros Champion Golfer Dies

Both David and I like many golfers around the world who grew up playing competitive golf in the 70's and 80's know how good Seve Ballesteros was. His creative shot-making made him a gallery favourite where ever he played.

For the younger generation of golfers who read our blog and don't really know a lot about Seve, take it from us, this man played a brand of golf that was so memorable because of his ability to hit brilliant recovery shots from places that others would simply take the easy option, especially when everything was on the line.

Seve will be best remembered for his fighting qualities and never say never attitude. A lot has been written about him this week but we think the following videos are a fitting way to finish the blog today.

We will miss you Seve.
