When Seve came to Cork

ON August 15, 1983, the great Seve Ballesteros struck a magnificent tee shot at the 11th hole of Cork Golf Club which still resonates with all at Little Island.

It was the day after the Spanish maestro captured the first of his three Irish Opens at Royal Dublin. He was at the peak of his considerable powers and probably the most charismatic sportsman in the world at the time.

Seve, renowned for playing just about every shot in the book and some that never found their way into any golf manual, displayed his full array of talents to a fascinated audience on that memorable day.
