Synopsis:
The long-awaited autobiography from one of the giants of world golf, whose charisma and unrivalled genius with a golf club has enthralled fans for over twenty years. In many ways, the career of Severiano Ballesteros is the ultimate rags to riches story. Born in Pedrena, Northern Spain, he learned his sublime touch while practising on a local beach with a single club. In the 1980s he was Europe's leading golfer, capturing five major championships; but more than that, his Ryder Cup record and general charisma have made him the greatest golfer of his generation. Since 1976, Seve has won more than 70 tournaments in 17 different countries, as well as 12 national Opens. He has 'invented' more strokes than any other contemporary golfer. In the Ryder Cup, his dynamic presence rescued the competition in 1979 when, at his behest, continental players joined forces with their British counterparts. This single change has made the Ryder Cup the premier matchplay event in world golf. Seve covers many subjects in this story of his life: his love for the Open at St Andrews, the home of golf; his several high-profile ructions with the European Tour; his leading role in the transformation of the Ryder Cup; his family life with wife Carmen (the daughter of the richest man in Spain) and his three children, hitherto a closely guarded secret; and his forthright views on the future of the game, the world tour, and the secret of his magical shot-making. Seve Ballesteros, the most gifted golfer of his generation, a reverential figure to players and fans alike, is finally ready to speak... and the golfing world cannot wait to listen.
