@Cannonball63 @TheOpen I remember that day too. We arrived to do final course set-up for the pro-am & to find Seve & his brother had slept overnight in their car in the club carpark - Humble beginnings! Have enclosed a photo of a friend who was lucky enough to play with Brian Huggett on that day.

@DeanCleaver @TheOpen First green! Miss being a member there! One of the saddest things is that I don’t have a picture with Seve that day. But such a special memory! I think I actually or I like to think i putted him off the course!! 😁😁

@Cannonball63 @TheOpen It’s hard to say what the most iconic golf photo taken is but this one of #Seve has to be up there. Charisma, passion, flare & pure genius......the man had it oozing out of every pore.
