Product Description

Product Description

He is perhaps the most naturally gifted golfer of all time - one of the most charismatic and most popular.

Seve Ballesteros won five majors, more than 80 international tournaments and was the inspiration behind Europe's Ryder Cup resurgence - but more than anything he was the man who made golfers all over the world believe that anything was possible - from the trees, the bushes, the rough and even a car park!

From his days - and nights - with a rusty three iron on the beach at his home in Northern Spain to the sumptuous green fairways of Augusta and the famous old links of St Andrews. Seve's Story traces the entire, extraordinary journey, right the way through to confirming his retirement at Carnoustie in July 2007.

Featuring all the action from Seve's most significant performances as well as never before seen home movie footage, Seve's Story includes the thoughts of Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo, Tom Watson, Gary Player, Colin Montgomerie and a host of others top names, caddies and coaches.

In his most candid interview Seve reveals his thoughts on life, his career and a future without competitive golf. Seve's Story is THE definitive account of one of golf's authentic legends.

Superbly made film about a sporting Hero. This traces Seve's life from his poor up-bringing to his legendary status in the Golfing World. Seve takes us through how he learnt to play through to some of the greatest moments in his career.With interviews from some of the top golfing stars, all giving their favourite memories of shots / moments from Seve. It wasn't just that Seve won, but how he won & how he played the game, that made him a legend. This is the best golf DVD out there about the most charismatic golfer to play the game. Must own for any Golf/sport fan..

4.0 out of 5 stars Four stars because it wasn't long enough.... 3 Feb 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
Really enjoyed this, well worth your cash. Could easily have watched another two or three hours of this informative and entertaining content...let alone listen to Seve recall past glories. Would also like to see the 3 wood out of the bunker as mentioned by another reviewer. If anyone has had the dubious "pleasure" of reading "Dream On" and agrees with me that it was best avoided...this DVD does genuine justice to Seve and makes you feel closer to him in spirit than could ever be achieved by John Richardson in his candy floss book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic documentary! 9 Oct 2007
I bought this DVD yesterday as Seve is one of my sporting heroes and it is one of the best documentaries i have ever seen. The participation and openness by Seve and the stories and thoughts from the world of golf, such as Tiger Woods, Tom Watson and Nick Faldo really make this an enjoyable and fascinating watch. The program charts Seve from a little boy growing up all the way through the ups and downs of his career (mostly ups), with Seve talking about his life and experiences, containing some brilliant footage (you forget HOW amazing he actually was!), through to his retirement this year. A must see for all golf and sporting fans, the story of a genius!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Seve, a video feast. 11 Jan 2008
I loved this video, as it showed clips of his genius from his very early days to his sad retirement from the game in 2007.

As an ardent Seve watcher, I have viewed a lot of the action before, however there are still many amazing shots which I had not seen at all. On the other hand, I still have not seen on video his miraculous fairway bunker shot with a 3 wood at the 18th hole in the 1983 Ryder Cup to halve his match with Fuzzy Zoeller.
I was hoping to see it as it is described enough by friends and in many book and magazine articles. Where is the clip? Help!

However, this DVD is great value and I would also recommend that Seve's newly published autobiography would compliment this DVD very well for any true golf lover.

There is a scene where Seve tries to copy his younger days as he endeavours to get his leg over a wall to enter his local golf club. Priceless!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A golfing genious 11 Jun 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this video just shortly after his death to remind me of how much of a gifted player he really was, and for all at least blessed with the golfing bug, it won't disappoint.
He was the most naturally gifted player that ever lived and his genius is captured for all time. No player could do what he could with a golf club and ball, not even Nicklaus, Woods or Trevino.
What also comes across in the video is the passion of the man and his humbleness at his own unique talents. He will be sadly missed but this video will bring a smile to your face and you will feel the warmth of his achievements as you watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just sit down and enjoy! 10 Feb 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
For many, Seve, has become an "iconic" figure inspiring many golfers. This DVD, made before his tragic early death, gives us a reminder of his unique talents. Being critical one could have done with more of his play but this only a minor point. His sheer determination to win is encapsulated in this DVD and it his hardly surprising that his spirit inspired the "Miracle at Median."
A must for all golf fans.

I discovered a lot about Seve and the respect all his fellow golfers had for him.
I would search a book to complete.
