Seve

Lesson #64: Seve's Softee
When you have a good lie but you need to make the ball climb quickly and stop quickly, here's a sort of trick shot to try. I learnt it from the game's finest shotmaker, Seve Ballesteros.

Seve, who has slipped so far down the world rankings that he's virtually off the graph, beat Colin Montgomerie, one of the best players in the world, over 18 holes of matchplay in the Seve Trophy.

Seve Ballesteros took over from Bernhard Langer and vied with Greg Norman for the No.1 spot, then Nick Faldo took over as Greg Norman's rival.

Believe it or not, Seve Ballesteros learned to play golf with just one club: a 3-iron.

This is evident in the putting of the great masters Billy Casper, Bobby Locke, Bob Rosburg, George Archer, Bob Charles, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Nick Faldo, Brad Faxon, Seve Ballesteros, Morris Hatalsky, Payne Stewart, ...

Scramble: To recover from trouble (Seve Ballesteros could scramble with the best of them) or a popular form of team play in which the team members pick the ball in the best position and everyone plays from that spot.

One strategy employed by one of the all time great putters, Seve Ballesteros, is to imagine a bullseye attached to the back of the cup.
