Seve the Movie Page #3

I'd hit the ball or make a few swings.

I played at night when it was dark.

Nobody saw me. On the beach.

Maybe the strict rules helped me because

I was more anxious and hungry to practice.

And the more difficult the thing,

the more you try.

And what a finish!

What a grandstand finish yet again!

Are you aware of the noise of the crowd

when you concentrate on

the last hole of such a tournament?

No. If your concentration is good,

you don't hear anything.

Nothing worries you.

But ff your concentration is not good,

even the ies can bother you.

Golf has always been fun.

The good thing about golf is

that when you play golf

you always produce one or two shots

that really make you feel good

and makes you think

'Oh, I think I'll come back tomorrow.'

Were you a well-behaved kid, Seve?

Wife, I'd never get in any trouble. wife.

Well yes... one time I...

Teacher

Mama'?

Papa?

My father and my mother were away.

There was a bottle of wine.

I drank a few glasses

and I went back to school...

Mother:

Mother:

Father:

Mother:

This is the place in my house

where I used to practice when I was young.

Because sometimes

there's bad weather here.

And I didn't have

any other place to practice.

You used to have a net there?

Yes. Now I don't know where it is,

but I used to put it up here.

Mother:

I used to practice at twelve,

one o'clock at night.

My mother used to come down many times

"Come up and go to sleep.

What are you doing here?

You're crazy!"

It was good... a good place to practice.

I used to wait for the guard

and the caddy masters

and the guy from the locker room to go by

to make sure that everything was clear.

Once they went through...

I jumped.

When you've got it -

you've got it! What a magnificent touch.

Ladies and gentlemen, the

greatest golfer in the world!

Severiano Ballesteros!

Vamos a casa, chicas, vamos.

Doctor:

When he stepped up to the ball, we knew

something exciting was going to happen.

He was so aggressive in his drive.

If there was a green over there at 3-20,

he'd hit it 300 yards through the air

which was pretty impressive in that era.

I took more risks than most people,

but that is my way.

The way he played shots,

and the way he swung the club,

was beautiful.

He had one of the most

beautiful set-ups I have ever seen.

He had a style all of his own.

He could get it up and down

from the trashcan.

From the garage. From the car park.

You name it, he can do it.

But his shod shots were

just something to behold.

What a wonderful touch he had with

his hands and how creative he was.

He was more like an artist painting

on a beautiful canvas around the green.
