Just looked at the trailer.  Hope there are subtitles, or that I can opt to use the goggles at the cinema.  ;D

A few weeks ago I caught "Seve" on DVD.

The movie centers on Ballesteros' formative years. They found A Spanish kid with a good golf swing and a passing resemblance to play the role for the ages of about 11-15 years old, I'd guess.  It then segues to his adult life where they rely on archive footage and interviews with real family and friends and it becomes more of a documentary of his accomplishments. The scenes around his passing are something of a tear-jerker.

I think most people here would enjoy it.

Interesting article on Executive Producer Ken Whitney in the MET Golfer magazine.  Here is a link to the MET Golfer magazine :


http://www.metgolferdigital.com/i/783888-feb-mar-2017


Ken is a former Senior Managing Director at Blackstone who is one of the driving forces behind the movie.  He grew up in the Princeton area and his father is a friend and fellow SGC member.  I played golf with his dad a few weeks ago in FLA and he is as proud of Ken as ever.
