Seve Ballesteros.1st round.1988.The Open. Royal Lytham St Annes

Watch Seve's amazing 1st round up to the 17th hole at the windswept Royal Lytham St Annes.
I also like the late Alex Hay's commentary. He loved Seve's play so much that he put a large bet on him to win. He could not stop chuckling whenever Seve made remarkable escapes on any hole.

He was a great commentator. R.I.P.

your dad's book, "The Mechanics of Golf" provided me years of solid ball striking. I built my golf swing using that book and it has served me well for nearly 30 years.

Graeme Hay I was at school with David, we called him cess

I think the opening commentary us the voice of longtime boxing commentator Harry carpenter??

When Alex Hay and Peter Alliss were teamed up together commentating on golf, it was one of the finest displays of knowledge of the game and good humour that made golf worth watching. RIP Alex and especially Seve too. 2011 was a rough old year.

I remember watching this - he was in a class of his own that day. I wonder how many sets of Sunderland waterproofs were sold following that round. I certainly bought some.
