The Seve movie

[Rich Goodale]

Watching it now with tears in my eyes.  Brilliant and uplifting.

[BHoover]

Wait, you are watching the Seve movie during the final round of the Masters? If true, this is peak GCA.

[Rich Goodale]

Yes


2+ TVs including one in the cludgie...

[Steve Lang]

Watched it, yes a bit emotional, especially today, Seve's B-day, and then turned on tv to watch start of the Masters, back 9 for Sergio & Justin..

[Steve Lang]

Sergio appears to be channeling Seve, oops maybe not, but two holes to go,  wow, go Sergio, now one, game on!


oooooooooohhhh my!


Extra innings

[Rich Goodale]

SERGIO!

[Steve Lang]

Wonderful Sergio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Seve would be very proud  

[Rich Goodale]

One of the greatest Majors ever.

One of the greatest Majors ever.

Been hitting the Scotch Rich? 


Pales in comparison to last year's Open.

Rich did say "one of the greatest". Not "the greatest".
I don't think rebuking him with a sample of only one major is very effective.

Okay then James.  To just use the Masters as our pool, it pales in comparison to Jack in '86, Tiger's first win, Crenshaw in '95, Phil in '03, Freddie, Larry Mize, etc.  I could go on. 

Even for playoff drama I'd take Adam Scott or Bubba over this one.

I was going to comment that your favourite Masters involve Americans.
But that would be to disregard your stated preference for last year's Open involving Mickelson and Stenson.
 

This year was a two-person battle, with significant changes over the first few holes (to Sergio), then over the middle holes (to Justin) and then a fightback from Sergio on the 13-15 run.
Finished with a further see-saw and tension over 16-18 and playoff.

If I was to be dismissive of the final round, I would comment on how common a score of 68-69 was on the final day.

I thought it was really good-certainly one of my favorites

Hear! Hear!

And all 36 million people in Canada would take Mike Weir's playoff win over Len Mattiace from 2003.

...

He can't help it that Jack beat Greg, Larry beat Greg, Phil beat Ernie, Bubba beat Louis. So you see it wasn't all Americans. Just American winners.

Whisky is for cold, dark and dreich places, like Scotland and Sweden.  We're in Margueritaville over here in Florida.


BTW, remind who won the Open last year  He couldn't have been Swedish, could he?

Who cares how this last Masters ranks. It was awesome and fun to watch. Just enjoy it!

I liked it until the nervous putting broke out. I'm glad Garcia won for a number of reasons but you're right. There's nothing but argument there. Then again, that's a fair part of what we do hereabouts.


Let's move on to Lee Westwood whom I admire greatly and who hasn't gotten the major thing done yet. Here's hoping he wins the best championship of all this year. Claret Jug time.

I agree. Sergio's 4 footer on 18 in regulation was really ugly. And Rose's punch out of the trees in the playoff was less than spectacular. But overall it was certainly fun to watch. Sergio's putt in the playoff, and the shots being hit on #15 and #16 were really awesome.


Yes, I would like to see Westwood win as well. But his putting seems to be in an even worse place than Sergio's?

A friend played Monday. He is a scratch golfer. He took 5 tries at Sergio's putt on 18 and did not make it. He said it was really, really tricky.

Spot on Mclutterbuck


 After all a Member-Guest is very similar.......with a partner.....and hundreds on the line...


Now try making it KNOWING you can't three-putt

[jeffwarne]

watching the Seve movie now


Here's something-he's the SAME age as Bernhard Langer! (who is playing nearly the best golf of his life...)


Imagine being able to watch Seve live weekly today

[David_Tepper]

I started this thread a month or so ago. It has links to youtube videos of 4 guys who caddied for Seve at various times in his career. They talk about what it was like being on his bag and watching the magic happen.
