This was the end of a glorious summer for Seve. His fourth win on the bounce if I'm not mistaken. It started with his victory in the British Open in July then he went on a run of winning tournaments by four or five strokes and playing some of the best golf of his life. I remember seeing one of the British tabloid newspaper headlines on the Monday morning after this victory. The front page had a picture of Seve on the final green with his arms raised in triumph and the headline read "Hurricane Seve Hits Paris". As a kid I thought that was very fitting considering the trail of destruction he'd been leaving behind him.
As for copying Seve’s swing (back then), I wouldn’t have. Beautiful swing, yes, but Seve made it work for him. The average golfer would be doing what Seve did in bad days - except all the time - hooking balls wildly.
Agreed. I think you could copy his tempo, but not his early wrist-break. He had a young-man’s swing that depended on him being supple. From his mid-30s he didn’t have that anymore, and his swing no longer worked.
Right in the middle of his golden 1988 season, when he won just about everything he entered from June to October. A swing to die for.
Seve in his prime was the best golfer ever. A true international golfing superstar.

Who was dating Isabella Rosellini? 8:05 Seve? Olazabal was only 21 or 22 but still looked like a little kid 9:24
amateur boater midnight poker i guess she was there as a Lancôme model/ambassador
This course looked like it was pitch and putt
With persimmon Drivers, travelling 255.7 average from a tour pro back then, about right.
Seve never showed his emotions on the course.
