  1. In 1991, I was taken to Woburn to watch the British Masters and had the privilege of being able to watch Seve warm up, then followed him around for his Saturday round. Whilst beside the practice chipping area, he flicked this Titleist Tour 100 ball to me..the day after, he won the event. What a legend!

    Thats really cool! Thanks for sharing, the ball still looks in pretty good shape. Seve was awesome!
  3. He probably picked it up new, hit wedges for about ten minutes which knocked the old balata cover about before giving it to me. It hasn’t been hit since
  4. What a great experience!

    Congratulations Steve. That is pretty cool.

    Being the nerd that I am, I would compare the dimple size and pattern to todays Titleist golf ball.
  6. Hi Jerry.. yes, the seam is very noticeable unlike modern Titleist balls, the old 384 dimple pattern too

    That's cool. I remember seeing him at Westchester CC in the 80's when he used to play in the Classic every year. He was some kind of player.

    He was an amazing player and fun to watch. Hope we see more like him in the future!

    Seve was and still is my Hero when I needed to really make a putt when I first started playing I would pretend I was Seve at the British Open. I went to Riviera one year just to watch him I was at the putting green watching everything he did Payne was also there I had a hat in hand and Payne asked me if he could sign it. I said sure when I looked back up Seve was gone he was just about to go back into the locker room I yelled out Seve I normally do not do that. He stopped waved me over and singed the hat those are the only to signatures I have ever gotten from anyone.

    THAT's What makes golf such a great spectator sport being there, up close and personal with the "gods". Let's hope we can get back to that this year. Congrats. Treasure it
  14. Your right, shoulder to shoulder, which as a kid especially, is very inspiring. Such ‘normal’, down-to-earth guys too
