HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEVE!

You are terribly missed at The Masters Seve, but NEVER forgotten…”Fantastica!”

“I look into their eyes, shake their hand, pat their back, and wish them luck, but I am thinking, ‘I am going to bury you.”

And

“To give yourself the best possible chance of playing to your potential, you must prepare for every eventuality.  That means practice.”  

And

“I know where I am and I know which way I’m going, … Only winning will satisfy me. You don’t think it is possible? It is very possible.”

And

“I don’t see any players who really impress me from either side of the Atlantic, to be honest. There are a lot of players with great talent and a great future ahead. But impress me? I don’t get impressed that easily.”

And

“I’d like to see the fairways more narrow. Then everyone would have to play from the rough, not just me.”
