Guest Drabux Posted January 1, 2009 This is the place to discuss Seve Ballersteros Certainly not out of the woods yet. Far from it, I'd say. From this report he seems to acknowledge that there's an end approaching. http://www.laht.com/article.asp?CategoryId...rticleId=324326 Good call for 2009, I say. Another pitch and a putt, and it's all over for Seve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dead Grandmother? 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Totally disagree.......he will be walking the long fairway for many years yet I reckon.... More like pushing up the daisies on the 18th green of Royal Birkdale. Captain Seve Golf legend Seve Ballesteros has targeted the European captaincy at the 2010 Royal Trophy, his nephew revealed. Ballesteros, 51, winner of five major titles, is recovering following several operations to remove a brain tumour. Nephew Ivan Ballesteros, who drove him to hospital when he collapsed at Madrid airport in October, said the weeks that followed were like a "horrible dream". But he added: "He's very positive, one of his goals is to be captain at the Royal Trophy, he's serious about it." His nephew said: "It's still too early to tell if he will play again but he's walking every day and he's determined to get better." Looks like the 14th hole may still be filled at the year's end.....

Raskolnikov 0 Posted January 22, 2009 Seve is optimistic on his health. Well, he would say that wouldn't he, but I do think it's becoming increasingly likely that he'll turn out to be the Russell Watson of this years list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fingers crossed I won't regret it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I modelled my game on his, you know... the nineties/noughties version, unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted January 22, 2009 Yeah, I had a hunch a few of the teasers - Seve, Jade Goody, Ted Kennedy - might shuffle into 2010. They can't avoid us forever, mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terminator 13 Posted March 13, 2009 Seve not in the 19th hole yet? he should enlist Joseph Mengele he was good at Brain surgery i hear Not really sure Mengele would help his brain, but he'd at least have blue eyes and great teeth, were Mengele given the opportunity.

Youth in Asia 1,087 Posted March 18, 2009 Apparently doctors said he had a tumour the size of a golf ball. Then they realised it actually was a golf ball - Seve had put it there for safekeeping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted May 6, 2009 Seve's 90% there now - 10% notwithstanding, I think he'll be okay for a while yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_engineer 1,415 Posted July 5, 2009 seve will be alright for a while yet!! hope so to he seems like a nice guy . Thatcher and others certainly deserve to die ahead of him. in the words of Alan partridge seve has the live sophistication and nimbleness of a ballerina combined with the hard nosed ruthless thuggery of a bastard . That cancer has no chance!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted July 23, 2009 I don't think Severiano will be shuffling off anytime soon, even if he is almost blind in one eye. Can't see him breaking 100 if he plays in next year's Open though. Top bloke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Crossed 33 Posted July 25, 2009 seve will be alright for a while yet!! hope so to he seems like a nice guy . Thatcher and others certainly deserve to die ahead of him. ... in the words of Alan partridge seve has the live sophistication and nimbleness of a ballerina combined with the hard nosed ruthless thuggery of a bastard . My grandfather taught me to play golf in the early 80s. He never gave me any Werther's Originals, but that's beside the point. I was inspired by Seve at the height of his powers and, whilst my grandfather wasn't a fan, I wanted to be Seve on the golf course just as much as I wanted to be Steve Davis around the snooker table and John McEnroe on the tennis court. (Yes, I'm 'middle class'. Anyone for Pimms?) Is it golf which brings out the gentleman in a player, or is the sport just populated by gentlemen? I cried, actually cried real tears when Tom Watson missed that putt on the 18th at Turnberry which would have won him the Open Championship at the age of 59. A gentleman, the sort of person whose success you cannot begrudge. Then I saw Seve Ballesteros talking to Peter Aliss about his life and how happy he is and how lucky he feels, despite his illness. When he looked straight into the camera and said thankyou and blew a kiss goodbye to his fans, I gave Seve a misty-eyed standing ovation. Nimble as a ballerina, hard-nosed as a thug bastard, gracious in victory and defeat; that's my recipe for great golf. Golf is great. Thanks for everything, Seve...
