Seve the Movie Page #3

with your ball and the hole.

He wouldn't exchange too many

pleasantries when he was playing.

Obviously he was out to win.

A great champ

is not concerned with anyone else.

Now Ballesteros - I'm sure

we're going to see a savage smash.

Just look out, ball.

You don't know what you're in for...

I say' Take that!

Mierda!

He may be slightly cross...

Those cold, black eyes are burning.

You never know what is going to

happen with me on each hole.

Rafa:

We have found Seve's ball,

but he really is in a dreadful position.

He's right in the middle

of that willow scrub.

Move back, please.

No, I'm not a very steady player.

Move back, please.

The people like to see troubled

shots in the trees and the bunkers,

and see me make bogies,

double-bogies, you know.

But I think one day I hit al'! my drives

straight to the fairway

The people will have lost

a lot of golf probably.

I always say that every time

that I go to the rough,

many times I can swing the club.

I always believe that there is

always a shot somewhere.

I've always been

very hard on myself,

even when I fumed

professional in my early days.

When I was having a bad day,

I would say to myself:

"Today you didn't do a good job,

you didn't play well,

so you don't deserve to have dinner."

So I went to bed without having dinner.

That's one way to be hard on yourself...

When he was in the doldrums,

nobody could have looked sadder.

You wanted to cuddle him and take him home

and let Mom make him tea.

When I play bad,

I feel bad not only for myself

I feel very bad for the people

who've come to watch.

When you start having

some kind of failure,

that's when you start getting tight

and you get worried.

And it's like "I don't want to miss the

putt", not "I want to make the putt".

That's on line -

has it got the legs? Oh no, caramba.

Another Spanish cries.

Sever It's all in the mind.

Rafa:

Rafa:

Seve:

When I have my three iron,

this is how I create all these shots.

And all the ideas develop

In your imagination when you play.

That's why I am always

very sharp and very quick

in finding out the way to escape

to produce those miracle shots.

He still has magic in his hands...

Rafa:

Seve:

Brother:

Yeah!

In she goes! 65 strokes!

Seve is the champion.

Seve:

Brother:

Father:

To have success wherever

you play golf or do any other thing,

there are two things you need.

You have to work very hard -

that's number one.

And number Mo, you need

a tremendous amount of discipline.

Discipline is the key in life.

For many things.

You have lo take care of yourself.

You have to sleep eight hours every day.

And practice - I go to the driving range

many times when I don't feel like it.

You know what will be the best thing

for me for how I feel at the moment?

I'd like to go to the hotel.

My boy is there and I would like to be

there and play with my boy.

But do you know what?

Lam going to the driving range.

Because I know that tomorrow is a big day

and I wan! to be ready.

That's the profession.

Touch of class, baby.

Touch of class.

Winning the Open is very difficult.

Winning the Open at Si. Andrews

was something very, very special.

Because St. Andrews is the home of golf,

and St. Andrews is...

is a different type of golf course.

It's a piece of art.

What a situation; Watson with

a putt for a birdie at the 13th,

Ballesteros with a putt

for a birdie at the 14th.

Watson first.

This would put him in a tie for the lead.

Oh touche'!

Would you credit it. Two putts.

Two birdies. Still tied at 11 under par.

Ballesteros, second and seventeen.

Whoa whoa whoa,

that's a marvellous shot.

Back on the 17th tee.

And he sent that off on the

perfect line.

Very brave.

Seve for a three at 17.

It's not tied yet.

That's the four.

Watson in the ideal spot down the 17th.

Seve's already played the hole, got a 4.

So much can happen on the 17th.

Oh...

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Well, they did say

it wasn't all over yet...

That really was

an extraordinary shot from Tom.

Seve's second shot to the final hole.

The dust ies.

What a little sweetie!

Seve lining up a short-ish putt.

This is for a 3.

And he's just got his hole!

You think he enjoyed that one?

Go on, give him a kiss as well.

That's fantastic stuff'.

This is St. Andrews, '84.

The best moment of my career,

so I thought that it was a good idea

to stamp that forever in my arm.

Just there. Remember, Seve.

You're the best.

This is for my mother, who has come

to the Open for the first time.

She is around here, I don't know...

somewhere.

Brother:

Seve:

What are the ambitions you

have in life generally, away from golf?

I don't know... I've been

only thinking about golf. That's it.

- Do you have a girlfriend?

- No.

Many. I have many.

But no steady one.

He's so golf-orientated that all he does

is just play golf, golf, golf...

I think if I was Seve, I'd go out

to a few discotheques now and again

and have a bit of fun, let yourself go.

A lot of people would say,

I'd like to be married and have a family.

Well probably, yeah. Good idea.

He had those wonderful smouldering looks

that sent many pulses racing, I tell you.

But he was a canny lad. And he married

his childhood sweetheart, Carmen.

She was his golfing pupil.

And they became man and wife

and had three children together.

The story of Severiano Ballesteros

is about a young Spaniard

from a humble background

who has become one of

the most controversial golf players

and an attraction for so many girls

in golf galleries around the world.

But he's most in the news these days

through his demands

for appearance money when he plays,

at a time when golf organizers are seeking

to stop this son of payment.

When you go to the golf course,

who are you going to watch?

The best players, isn't it.

The best players bring the TV and

give the prestige to the tournament.

And the best players

bring the people lo watch.

If the sponsors want the best players,

they have to pay them. That's it.

But hasn't golf given you a lot else?

Do you know how much I give to golf?

I started when I was nine.

And since then...

I live until right now, twenty-three.

This way. All for golf.

You think this is not enough?

- I think it's enough.

- Your life.

All my life. And life is more important

than anything else, right?

So golf owes me something.

Or maybe we're even -

but I don't owe anything to golf.

Ho, ho!

Man:

Seve! Seve!

As we were going out on the last day,

Seve said:

"The one with the biggest heart will win,"

I thought, well, you mean you, don't you.

Well, that is pure magic.

When I walk into the ball

and I see the line and I see the shot,

it was very difficult if I say, okay,

let's play one of those shots

that you did when you were young.

A touch of genius!

From the background

I would have nothing.

Remember, I had no balls. No clubs.

No money, nothing.

I used to make bets without having any
