That must be the late, great Mr. Peter Alliss commentating. Such a blessing it has been to listen to Mr. Alliss doing his work.

Seve's swing is so nice and fluid.

What a great vid, imagine this happening today! golf was more fun in the 80s

Seve, what a player RIP man..... Lee, forever talking but always my hero.... Gods of golf

If the game was only played with one club, Seve would have won 50 majors

Trevino was just as effective with one club, but lacked Seve's physical power. Seve could probably hit a 5 iron 30 or 40 yards past Trevino. That's where Seve's advantage was. But working the ball left/right, around the green, out of bunkers, etc., they were pretty even. And Chi Chi Rodriguez was no one club slouch, either. In today's game, Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson would probably be the best one club players.

Seve wasn’t that good

Why they don’t do more of this sort of stuff now is beyond me! Great seeing Seve hitting the big hook and putting left handed. Total legend! Trevino and his banter pretty close second!

This is a time in gold where these guys knew how to work their ball around a course instead of the BOMB and Wedge game of today . It truly a boring game to watch today , its why I don't watch the PGA much anymore .

Miss this. So many happy memories of watching these guys play. Fantastic golfers, wonderful characters, great banter that made all golf tournaments so special. Seve and Trevino were awesome together.

So many household names and characters back then. Nowadays with better equipment players can overpower courses so you just don't have the same connection with them. Hate to say it, but golf's great days are long gone and it's starting to die.

Seve could of beaten me with one club, and a blindfold on, what a great man, taken away from us far too early, a truly shinning star 🌟

Seve was a genius and an artist with a golf club.Thankyou very much for posting this great video.It`s golf in it`s purest form.

I must have watched this video 25+ times love it most entertaining and informative

What could be more challenging and fun than to go out on the links with one club and test your shot making abilities! Thanks for posting this!

All clips of the great Seve are worth watching time and time again...

certainly must be the "Golden Age of Golf" .... Heroes All ... Eternal Blessings Seve ... Thankyou Sevefan, incredible memories !!!

Great footage! One of those videos that makes you glad you have seen it.

two best shot makers in the history of the game lee and seve!

Seve , como deportista insuperable y como persona escepcional,un recuerdo desde la tierruca🏌️🏌️💫💫💫👏👏👏

Very entertaining, cheers! I saw Seve and Nick F at the Australian Open in the mid 80's.. unforgettable.

lot of people forget aoki, he was class, and world class.

I remember watching this at the time so I am real pleased you posted this as I didnt record it. I also remember several other one club challenges made at the same time with Seve and some of the Americal players. All great memories.

well the picture quality really is not so bad if u consider when it was!! the way seve plays is just incredible... thank u very much for that great moment of golf

No that title belongs to Tiger Woods in his prime. There's never been anyone in the history of the game that had literally any and every shot in the bag. You call the shot, he had it. Argue majors or whatever you want it doesn't make a difference. The only other person I would say comes close is Hogan.

Thank you for posting this. I remember watching the series during its original broadcast but at the time I couldnt record it so its great for me to see it again. They played different partners each game, they where obviously all filmed on the same day just after the open was played. I recall that you could tell from Seve's attitude that he didnt think much to Hal Sutton. Thanks a gain.

Lee Trevino and Seve Ballesteros were two of the greatest shot makers golf has ever seen. They had the talent and the imagination to shape shots in the mind, then play them!

As a patriotic Brit, very glad to will Seve on to win ! He learnt the game while only owning one club...great man.

very small heads on the irons. Seve was pure magic in those days

Stunning, thank you

Thanks for putting this up.

Excellent to see, cheers for putting up! And it was great to see St Andrews with the fairways all hard and burnt

Yes, the gods of our time. They should never die, and women and children should be sacrificed to keep them alive. Think before you type.

Sincere thanks Sevefan for sharing this rare footage. How perfect that Mr. Alliss is on the commentary. Surely three of the greatest characters the golf world has ever known. I wonder if anyone will do a Seve film? I had the great fortune to see him play at the Honda in perhaps his final appearance there. Though past his prime, he still radiated an aura of charisma that no one could ignore. His eyes were an open window into his deep passion for the game. So few are so open.

how i wish they did one club challeges today and aired them on tv..i read in a book when trevino was not known yet and just hustling for money on the golf course he was so cocky he would tease guys into playing him for money and the handicap was Lee was only able to use three clubs,,, a 5 iron,, sand wedge and a putter.. he said he never lost to anyone playing with those 3 clubs for money.. im sure was like some of the classic hustlers who played billiards...some of them were just monsters when cash was on the line and never if ever would they choke..

Who the fark could dislike this amazing video???!!!

I can mind as a kid watching this on tv :) just subbed channel

Seve, ese genio del golf....

Thankyou

I've actually practiced with the following: 3 wood, 4 hybrid, 5 iron, gap wedge & putter. Long Par 5s: 3W off the tee and then again in the fairway for 2nd approach shot, GW if less than 110, or choke all the way down on the 5 iron if greater than 130 out Par 4s: any combination of 3W or 4H off the tee, followed by 4H, 5I or GW full swing for second approach Par 3s are tricky because of low yardages for sand shots: Open the GW up all the way; GW becomes SW very easily with an open clubface.

No probs!

Yes it was!

Grande, Seve, subiendo por el hoyo 18 del Club de Campo de Madrid, miles de personas aplaudiendo, un genio sin duda.

This was recorded the week after Seve won the open at St Andrews in 1984. Great memories of Seve’s dance on the 18th, later on the Sunday night someone had climbed up into the big yellow scoreboard at the 18th and was taking requests from the public below to put their name at the top above Watson, Langer , etc, and then watching these two tackle the old course with a 4/5 iron - happy days.

Aoki a class act all the way. Wish that guy had won more often.

Me and my son's golf coach played the young bucks at this game. We whacked their asses with old age and treachery. Classic.

Two of the greatest touch and feel players ever! Ps. Neither carried a lob wedge. Cheer's

I'm sure a bit of digging on the internet may confirm the Seve/Trevino match you mention, I can't remember it myself. Sadly, this is the only episode I recorded and kept.

@MrAJR76 The day after? Interesting. No wonder he looked a happy man!! :-)))

Yeah it's great to watch isn't it. Glad you like it James and thanks for the comment.

Golf channel ought to have a 'throwback' week, maybe in late december when nothings going on, and televise all the old Shell WWOG, silly season events, exhibitions, and all this stuff from 30+ years ago.

Trevino: If i mark this a coupla more times, I'll have a gimmee!!!!!!!

After hearing the story about Seve hitting shot out of bunker with a 3 iron because it was the only club he owned as kid I was inspired to practice until I could do the same thing. What I learned in the process is that if you you place the club on the ground with leading age facing target where the ball will release off the face the nominal loft of the club matters little. What matters more is being able to get your body into the position to deliver the club back to that position. The way to do that is simply to set your club and body at address in the same way you want to at impact when addressing the ball. When I started lining up at address like that for regular shots with club at nominal loft and shaft angle with hips locked 45° open and shoulders back with side bend I started hitting the shots I imagined for the first time. Now when I teach any one I start by putting their club and body where they need to be at impact so they have a clue what the goal of the swing is and where the face need to be pointing when the ball releases off of it.
