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.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
