Back to Hall of Fame

Seve Ballesteros, the youngest of the golf playing brothers, played golf from the early age of eight.
Completely self taught and using only an old three-iron and one wood he played golf on the beach in his home town.

Could this be the secret in later life of his amazing ability to invent brilliant recovery shots
from positions that many would describe as impossible situations.
It may well be but there can be little argument that he is one of the greatest players of all time.
Bringing with him to the professional scene in 1976 a go-for-everything attitude reminiscent to the legendary Arnold Palmer.

His ability to aim at the pin with every shot combined with his notoriety as being one of the longest hitters on the Tour
who can manage not only distance but accuracy with his short game is the recipe that has made
Seve Ballesteros a firm crowd favorite.
