English
By (author): Kenny Reid
Forty years on from his dramatic triumph in the Open Championship at the Old Course in 1984, Seve Ballesteros's Touch of Class is the gripping, fast-paced, definitive account of the charismatic Spanish maestro's finest hour. Alongside battles with Tom Watson, are tales of other Seve wins and inspirational moments, and what he meant to the world.
Author Kenny Reid brings alive Seve's outstanding play in brilliant detail, as he marched to his greatest victory against his biggest rival. The Spaniard is considered an artist, magician, genius and icon, and although Ballesteros passed away in 2011, his legend endures and Touch of Class paints an insightful, vivid portrait of the man and his golf.
Not just Europe's greatest, his natural talents and swashbuckling play brought style, daring, danger and adventure to the fairways. This is a fascinating account of Seve's golfing journey: from gifted son of a farmer in isolated Spain to dominant major champion, in an original and exhilarating take on his life and golfing times.
