Guess most have heard about Seve's battle with a brain tumour. One of the most amazing guys ever to touch a club and an awesome ambassador for the game. Followed him on many occasions and he always made a point of acknowledging the fans, particularly on the tee box - he really made us all feel that we had connected in a small way. His god given talent made him one of the greatest ever to watch and allied to his knack of making a not too difficult shot look really tough made him loved the golf world over.
Never forget taking my mam to see the Open at Birkdale think it was '88 - she clapped eyes on hm and got real weak at the knees "God he's gorgeous" was all she could say - we watched him all the way in and he knew he had scored in new fan! Its a memory of mam I will never forget!
Anyway my thoughts and prayers are with Seve now and i hope he makes a full recovery from this and continues to be one golfs greatest heroes.
Seve - my mams hero!
Good news -
