There is a tribute on BBC at the moment.


Seve was my golfing hero growing up (and everyone elses too). He was a special competitor and an entertainer. He could not control his golf or be controlled. He was exciting and entertaining.


It is sad to see him grow old too soon with his brain tumour. But some great flashbacks to a great career.


[He played the great shot out of the bunker at the Ryder Cup against Ray Floyd with a Tony Penna wood - I remember those - don't know if anyone else does - they were one of the best wooden clubs made prior to the metal clubs coming into popularity].


A great man and I hope he achieves his ambition of coming to the Open at St Andrews next year - that will draw a big crowd.


Its very nostalgic viewing.

I chased him round the clubhouse at the Irish Open at Royal Dublin in the early 1980s but he ran faster than me and all his other pursuers - he was the only autograph I did not get, but he was the biggest star in the golfing world then, it was good just to see him in the flesh.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
