Seve Ballesteros: 1957-2011

Postby Webb » Sat May 07, 2011 1:30 pm

Golf great Seve Ballesteros, who won three British Opens and two Masters with a game marked by spectacular improvisational play, died at 54 on Friday, more than two years after he had a malignant brain tumor removed.

One of the best-known personalities in Spain and the golfing world, he also won 50 times on the European Tour and is widely credited with transforming European golf.

You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I don't understand what's gone wrong with it. - George Hanson, 1969

A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.
