For the weekend that appears to be in it.

Seve Ballesteros could put a ball anywhere from the trees to the middle of a fairway.

Tom Watson said in the Irish Times in April 1983 after Seve’s second Masters win:

“Seve is an aggressive, flamboyant type of player. He’s an Arnold Palmer type of competitor. When he’s playing well, he can shoot the lights out”.

 

Seve would have turned 56 this week.

An unknown Irishman Johnny McKinstry (above) has been installed as caretaker coach of Sierra Leone.
McKinstry who has no previous coaching experience in Africa, will be in charge of the Leone Stars’ remaining 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
According to the Sierra Leone FA, he will be considered for the job on a permanent basis if he does well against Tunisia, Cape Verde and Equatorial Guinea.

 

He’s the gaffer and what he says goes.
