Jean van de Velde returns to Carnoustie with only a putter (1999)

[@Packattack9204]

How can you not love this guy? It’s the most heartbreaking event of his professional career, and he can still have fun with it. I wish there were more Van De Velde’s in sports...

[@scottsears5545]

Agreed

[@julienbardet995]

He is now the best comentator of major golf évents for french tv. I met him and hé is a really good guy..

[@mrxboyd9]

He’s such a classy guy. What’s funny is if he had won no one would remember him.

[@kidoseven]

The music and narrative here is incredible. What a guy Jean is though, your heart has to go out to him.

[@marcuspowell273]

This is phenomenal. Love it

[@youngspit89]

Look at his wee kids at the end, the golf means nothing. Family is everything

[@spencerjones1844]

He is my new favorite golfer.

[@notrab13]

Probably the best golf documentary ever.

[@davidstrauss4808]

Brilliant! Jean is a class golfer AND a class human. He has his priorities right. He did not break, did not lose his humor. The hug of his children is worth more than any claret jug.

[@bronwynhilbert349]

love the music

[@MauGandolfi]

Jean van de Velde is my hero ⛳️🏌️‍♂️

[@MrSmid888]

Brilliant

[@leighsoft]

why does he continue to punish himself

[@davidloughlin2238]

Fair play to him, I am impressed

[@paulivin4654]

It was painful the first time around 😫😫

[@orakelgottes]

it's sad you cannot deny that ... many times it pays off to take a few seconds more of sober thinking of what you are gonna do next

[@samking4179]

so excellent!

[@andrewtague8856]

what in the hell is this ludicrous music lol

[@clivezeederberg2782]

He is my winner 👌

[@zombiehunter1152]

That’s golf

[@skellvarnsen23]

je t'aime jean, je suis desole. x

[@donnietobasco9791]

Paul Lawrie enjoyed this.

[@scottsears5545]

You get your money Worth from the French...lol

[@brachisaurous]

Ziss izz zilly....

[@gearjammer5533]

Anyone wanting to make a donkey of themselves two times, and that would sumit to this buffoonery must still be in long lasting shock ..........

[@BenCoulingYT]

Or perhaps he doesn't take himself nor a simple game of golf too serious and is not emeshed in self importance 🙋‍♂️

[@Ghostshadows306]

⁠@brycecouling386Yeah maybe except it’s not about taking yourself seriously, it’s about dealing with failure. It’s his failure but if wanted to prove something and not make a mockery of the situation he could have shown the way he SHOULD have played the hole if he had to do it all over again. Not my way of dealing with it but to me it would better than going out there with a putter and looking like a stooge.
