Better Copy of 1988.Skins Game, Seve, Langer, Faldo, Lyle, Woosnam

[@RG-ja34sep]

There is some SERIOUS EUROPEAN golf talent in this five-ball. Every one of them a Masters champion, and a total of 16 Majors between them! RIP Seve, I really miss seeing you.

[@bobbys4327]

Almost as many as Jack!

[@bobbys4327]

@@richardhall4830 I would agree if no one else other than Americans played the majors held in the US. So, I do not agree.

[@blackporscheroadster6415]

5 Legends, especially Seve and Faldo. Sad to think that of the 5 it is Seve who is no longer with us. My sporting hero growing up.

[@craigedwards1132]

Langer is the only one of the five still playing, and playing extremely well. He is a great ambassador for the game of golf and clearly loves the game.

[@generalgrant3189]

Of course Seve chipped in on the final hole. Hands of a surgeon.

[@BOO66IOU]

Loved all these guys seve had flair as did woosy and the methodical langer and Faldo.truly the golden era today’s golf doesn’t compare

[@etteridge]

This is great. Back from ‘my’ era. My heroes all together again.

[@spencer.kissack.the.author]

Me too. Probably some of the greatest golf ever filmed tbh

[@onthisrock1970]

What a group of ball strikers. Langer still breaking 70 almost 35 years later.

[@thomasjoseph4718]

I saw Seve chip for 3 at the 18th to beat Arnold Palmer 1 up in 1984. Such a great golf era that was. What fantastic players and what a great atmosphere at Wentworth. Seve was always a very good speaker, Grate video. Thanks

[@alistairjones4017]

Excellent golf. Seve’s style here is timeless, he wouldn’t look out of place competing on the Tour today.

[@martysykes3221]

How good was Severiano Ballesteros? The quintessential human being, and arguably, one of the best golfers that ever lived. The man just had it all. The older I get, the more impressed I am with Nick Faldo’s game, a game that he developed into greatness. Seve came out of the womb great!

[@pauledmondson7071]

Yes, apart from constant practice all day, every day . Man and boy. No one is born great at golf.

[@earltpt]

I don’t think there’s any argument that he was one of the greatest of all time

[@shaunwest7535]

When golf was real before technology took over. 5 irons to par 3s, you could as a golfer understand what these guys were doing. As a club golfer at the time i saw all of these guys ay Wentworth. The difference was their consistency. I saw Seve many times, his short game was amazing. Thank you for the upload.

[@paulelliott3056]

What a player Seve was, my sporting hero as a youngster. Watched him play so often and it was always such a joy. This is a great video, thanks heaps for posting. That 2nd shot on the 4th, wowsers. And the other guys were great here too, especially Faldo's front 9. Great stuff.

[@axnjxn91]

Thank you! What an accumulation of talent. Great to watch, absolutely timeless.

[@CD17able]

Thanks for sharing, I watched this when I first started playing, such great golf.

[@RC-9]

"drive and a 6 iron 502 yards its almost obscene"... oh how the times have changed! Wonderful watching all the 1, 2, 3, 4 irons...:) and of course it had to finish with the obligatory seve....

[@karlosfandango6637]

Wow. The best of the best in the 80's and 90's

[@markscott3267]

Seve just oozed class in everything he did. A true hero and legend. He had everything.

[@pauledmondson7071]

Yes! Coughing, rattling coins, gamesmanship of every kind. JONES, PALMER, thats class.

[@andrewrobinson8305]

No Paul. The cough was a nervous cough, he didn’t even know he was doing it. I followed Seve closely enough to see that. His caddies confirm it. Rattling coins in his pocket? He never carried coins in his pocket while playing golf! He played in his own world. It got mistaken for gamesmanship, especially by the yanks who were looking for excuses.

[@stevenchampion8137]

I agree...it's lost all of it's charm.

[@stevenchampion8137]

... but something had to be done to prevent the course from being made to look completely obsolete. Even with wooden woods and balata balls they started to go very low there.

[@christopherfranklin972]

@@stevenchampion8137 The R&A and USGA have a lot to answer for by not limiting the performance of golf balls,how many £/$ millions have been spent on 'upgrading' fine old courses as well as the environmental disasters of modern courses with their immense length and proportionally higher irrigation requirements. By stipulating a maximum driving distance of 280 yards with balata spin characteristics the problems of redesigning courses would have been avoided.

[@keithharris6442]

​@stevenchampion8137 Well said. Watching these 5 made me want to play Wentworth as it was then. Impossible these days of course, but the totally ruined it. Hate the look of it now.

[@peterbrown6434]

Lyle's raw power overlooked on the comments here and his Natural Talent.

[@seansack609]

You're so right. He could hit his 1 iron almost 300 yards back then.

[@paultaylor5502]

He was awesome. 270y all day then steps on 1 and gets it out there 300 with steel, wood and a balata. Tried to do a Faldo and it ruined him

[@TheTraditionalGolfer]

Best striker of a 1 iron ive ever seen

[@onthisrock1970]

Followed him 2 days here in Australia in the hot summer that same year (88) after he won Masters. He hit it further than Norman. One of the best long iron hitters too. As a Scotsman he was getting smashed by the Aussie heat and humidity. As he was walking off a tee his eyes happen to catch mine and he said ‘you look even hotter than me’ and he walked over and grabbed a bottle of icy water from the nearby players’ esky and gave it to me a teenage nobody. Never forgotten that. I kept the bottle because a Masters Champion had touched it!

[@finbarrboylan2988]

Seve respected these four great golfers but I remember reading one time they Sandy Lyle was the golfer that he admired Thad most especially when he was on his game.

[@RC-9]

Seve's 3 iron to the par 5 4th, simply majestic swing and majestic shot... genius! rip.. :(

[@pbysome]

Piquet,mansell,prost,senna, they don't know they. Are born these days.

[@indricotherium4802]

The players seemed to have more individualistic swing styles compared to today's men's tour. Perhaps why I find the women's tour events a little more interesting to watch nowadays.

[@bluestuable]

the shot seve plays where he's almost standing in a ditch, woosy playing off a muddy path, the modern players would be calling for referees and demanding a drop.

[@commonsense2156]

Minus 6 skins for Faldo for wearing that sweater

[@stevenchampion8137]

And that's why we battered the US at Muirfield Village in 87.

[@3DGvisuals]

Jeff Zalud the green is level with the tee with a dip between, plus look at the flag, there's no wind at all.

[@Parmesan300]

3DGvisuals it appears that you were paying zero attention. Have a look a Faldos hair and the trees as well. Just because the flag isn’t moving doesn’t mean there isn’t any wind. Also, the announcer himself states that it’s elevated green.

[@3DGvisuals]

155 yards with a 5 iron 😂 - that's hilarious - today that's a 9 iron. Just shows how far ball and club technology has come.

Those were the days. Hitting 3 and 2 irons into par 4's. No bomb and wedge. Perhaps we should bring those balls back for Pros? And the drivers.

[@stevenchampion8137]

@@thehairygolfer it's a treasure...trouble is I don't want to thin or scuff it. It's such a shame that so many who play the game probably won't spend any time enjoying the touch and spin you could create with these (and the Tour 90 / 100). Thank you for reminding me I have a HT in the practice bag btw...it's been a while.

[@thehairygolfer]

@@stevenchampion8137 I always loved the soft feel off the putter and chipping. You could spin a really short one. You're right about keeping that one in good shape. Keep the memories of good rounds.
