There are few sportsmen as charismatic as Seve Ballesteros.
Emerging as a blazing young star in the late 70s his passion,
flashing smile and fiery brand of golf quickly marked him as a
player to watch and he fulfilled that early promise with a career
that brought him five major championships (two Masters and three
Opens), 50 European Tour titles, 9 PGA Tour wins and five Ryder Cup
victories - one as the European Team captain. Sadly his star faded
too quickly and in 2011 he died from brain tumour. He was 54. This
R&A-supported book, launched to coincide with the 10th
anniversary of Seve's passing, is a lavish photographic celebration
of his life. Award-winning photographer, David Cannon (the man who
took the picture on the cover of the book - probably the most
famous image of Seve), has curated the best pictures from Seve's
life and career. From unseen childhood pics to commissioned shoots
on the beaches of Spain, Seve's story is told with wonderful
imagery that is interspersed by thoughtful and reflective essays by
golf writer Robert Green. Fully supported by the Ballesteros family
- who run the Seve Ballesteros Foundation - this book is a fitting
tribute to one of Golf's greatest characters and will appeal to
fans everywhere who will remember Seve as one of the greatest
players of all time.
