OT - Seve Being Seve......

[Rob Marshall]

His swagger was part of his playing DNA.

Never associated "swagger" with Seve but it's very apt.
I doubt he ever faced a bad lie or obstacle he did not ENJOY trying to pull off.

Seve also ENJOYED embroiling himself in rules confrontations with referees and playing partners in an effort to seek an advantage which is part of the “gamesmanship” he is noted for.

I once played an event where Jerry Stahl was the speaker. Jerry is an Oak Hill member who was a USGA rules official. I'm sure JohnVDB knows him. Anyway he talked about the big three. (Jack, Arnie, and Gary) Told interesting stories about all three in major championships. Jacks story was how he tried to intimidate him into getting good ruling. They ALL did it. After Jerry denied Jack relief, Jack looked at him and winked. Jack knew he was stretching the rules and acknowledged it.
