Nick Faldo: 3 Reasons Why Seve Was the Greatest | Instruction | Golfing World

Nick Faldo gives 3 reasons why Seve Ballesteros is one of the greatest golfer of all time.

[PH--ovtf]

Today’s golf world need more players like Seve; real, authentic, sympathetic and charismatic.

[MrNeeskens]

When us spaniards started following golf, and it was because of Seve, there was that calmed and determined guy who would scare us so much: Nick Faldo. We suffered him so many times, and even though we didn't know the game to the fullest, we knew he was a jugadorazo: an extraordinary golfer, a steady and fierce competitor. What a relieve, to celebrate his talent in the Ryder Cup. Thanks, Mr. Faldo.

I’m English, usually want English sportsmen and women to win whatever, , .. but when Seve was playing in the Open or World Matchplay I always wanted Seve to win even against the English players.. he was a unique genius of a sportsman.

[reiddavis]

So few players in the history of the game had/have the ability to create shots like Seve did. He was amazing to watch.

[Karl_with_a_K]

Great to have seen the respect among those two titans of the game, Seve & Faldo.

[russellkempe]

Go watch the 1986' Masters. Seve was a spectacular player, gentleman, and sportsman.

If you haven’t already you should watch the Seve film, the hard man Faldo, sobbing at the end.

[davidbrooks]

Seve was & is the forever king of European golf.
Just like Arnold Palmer in America.
Seve is the special one. Pure Genius!

[golfbulldog]

You needed to be young and following golf in the early 80s to understand what Seve meant... there is far more to Seve than his tournament record... Ryder Cup stuff was unbelievable... made other men bigger than they were... Jack and Tiger really struggled with that in team environment...as did Nick. All legends, just different super powers.

[dickrichards]

No doubting the greatness, and importance of Senor. Severaino Ballesteros, to the game. He was what Tiger represents, to my generation of American golfer's. First European Master's, champion, that heralded the dozen or so more to come. All naming the dashing, and charasmatic matador of Golf, as their inspiritor . Muchos gracias, Seve.

Seve was my favourite golfer a real genius and magician but Faldo had the ball on a piece of string in his prime, such control of flight and trajectory and with the old balata ball.

[fdllicks]

rip Seve, when God made you he broke the mold. Sorely missed. Taken from us far too young.

[AdrianPG]

He may only have won 5 majors... But Seve had charisma that other golfers can only dream off....

[ranbirgill]

Just think that you’re reaction at seves funeral was the most emotional and amazing way of showing togetherness with you friend. By the way you weren’t too bad either!!

[johnnyparker]

Respect shown by respectful gentlemen.

[golfsolved]

Nick you are a class act you won more majors than seve but you give him total respect he was unique

[bobbyhanly]

As a player I never wanted Faldo to win but as an analyst he is tremendous.

[michaelblythe]

Seve was the most gifted player I’ve seen the only player to come anywhere near his creativity was Trevino

[michaelblythe]

No one comes close to Seve in the short game he was undoubtedly the best even the stats show that when his longer game was pants
