PROBABLY THE GREATEST TALENT IN GOLF HISTORY

[@cd-yq9ou]

Oh yeah, I agree, even trevino and phil...not the best champions, but man, were they up there in terms of pure talent!

[@iqmian4160]

Much respect to the legend who was willing to teach and share his gift unlike some who dont bother

[@jammielettgolf5154]

one of the best putting strokes in history of the game!! Miss Seve so much , RIP Seve

[@robsaxepga]

That last bit of film from the open is priceless. He was an amazing person.

[@juanhunglow2220]

I could listen and watch Seve all day long.

[@jasongalik7679]

Sunday afternoon & I watch this for the 100th time because it’s an awesome show!

[@amazingslav1648]

Making me cry. Miss the king!

[@markywellsboy2182]

This is like Leonardo da Vinci showing a bunch of painter and decorators how to paint The Mona Lisa. "On longer putts I introduce a bit of wrist". Carnage in the next Monthly Medal.

The sound of that classic Ping will never get old.

The best short game ever even in his latter days his stats were up with the best on the European tour but the driver let him down still a hero to millions of kids here in the IK growing up wanting be Seve and destroying the Yanks in the Ryder cup

[@davidbrooks187]

Seve’s back injury deteriorated in 1990 & he had good spells when his physio therapy worked but it was only a temporary fix as the injury became untenable by 93/94 & his swing didn’t resemble his prime years. Such a shame that his career was effective cut short due to injury. Secretary in his prime was unbeatable.

[@kadenonta3364]

Thank you Seve

windiest putting lesson of my life

[@golfgreer735]

I based my putting stroke off of this and I am a damn good putter now.

[@Markcgreer]

Putting takes all the fun out of golf.

[@mangoman2148]

Interesting perspective. I find putting on fast, undulating, true rolling greens to be funnest thing in golf. I love trying to visualise the correct speed and direction, then seeing if I can replicate it. Slow, uneven greens are considerably less enjoyable, unfortunately that's the reality of playing more affordable courses.

[@Markcgreer]

Think of it this way. An amateur having never played golf before has a chance to put well. He definitely cannot drive. He might get lucky with a small iron. But he could easily putt. Even a kid can do it. Imagine an athlete smacking a 350 yard drive and then imagine a grown man tapping a little ball into a hole. Ugh.

[@DelusionalVoice]

@@Markcgreer I'd argue that that's what keeps golf interesting. Getting to the green and putting are two separate games. And I'd even say these days that the former, at least in the PGA, is easily more predictable of the two to watch. Smash a drive, wedge to the green. With putting there's a lot more nuance and uncertainty. Especially to an amateur. I mean have you ever seen the horrific performances at a mini golf course? And they usually have brick bumpers surrounding the putting surface. Let alone a 60ft wide open green. Yikes

[@joelnall5882]

We love seve😅

[@skyviewtrading]

Same exact putter grip I use! Nice vid.

[@ilegor365]

We miss you Seve. Interesting to note that even the great players are subject to differences between feel and reality. He feels that his head is directly above the ball, but in reality he is a couple of inches behind the ball, studying the line from slightly behind the ball. Or are my eyes deceiving me?

[@ivanriverooo]

I thought of that as soon as he said it. He hang his club dead straight behind the club then he funnily took it "straight" down to the ball on a slight diagonal forward LOL.

[@ivanriverooo]

In fact, because of all his setup and address he might has well have always been a natural "fader" when putting. Especially with mid-long range, that would be more noticeable to me. He'd find himself a straight putter but I find he slightly "pushed" punched them, kind of. By putting weight forward I even find he mini hit down on the ball o rith at the bottom, not upwards like a driver like it is nowadays adviced. Still, it's all about controlling your shot, and being comfortable like he says. I sometimes play putts in the same way I play shots. I just focus on fundamentals but sometimes I don't even do the same swing, I just do it like in football. Maybe one foot stance. Make it more natural.

[@robbieflower5129]

Legend, thanks for the upload! ;)

[@fradaja]

can't rememeber him ever having trouble with the putter

[@kevinrikerdson6172]

Great share here thanks

[@kevinrikerdson6172]

There is a good how to break 80 golf guide with training tips on www.gofljig.com that goes well with this video.

[@LYCANSS777]

+chuckwalla Second guessing one of the greatest putters in the history of the game? Ask the one who taught you that, how many majors he has won!
