Physical Intelligence - Day 8

What made the movie great was that it was part actual footage of Ballesteros and part reenactment of his youth and what made Seve so special and still so incredibly charismatic. This part of Seve's being remains immortal and it was an honour watching this movie.

Later on as I prepared to write this log, I found a feature on youtube about him from the BBC, so assuming that our connection is good tomorrow, I look forward to watching that along with the gym - in all the 80 minutes on the treadmill were a moment of transfixed wonder, as I absorbed details of his early life and the movie simply confirmed the character and standing of him. 

I don't care about people's personal brand, they can stick their brand whatever it gives them, I care about coming across these special human beings and they don't necessarily have to be golfing greats, they can also be people completely off the media radar who are special people do to what they represented to their family.  Here I came across IRONICALLY birthday wishes from Seve's son named JAVIER Ballesteros wishing his dad a Happy Birthday - noting that people here on beBee are wishing the other Javier B. Javier 🐝 beBee his own birthday wishes - with all respects to the Javier I know here, I am paying respect to the father of the Javier who is his son, and this is highlighted in his tweet today

Of course I ran across the movie on the Golf Course and here is the greatest irony of all, it is only from another VAMMOS! tweet from Javier Ballesteros that I learned that Sergio Garcio actually won the US Masters today - so up in the sky that will definitely make Seve smile.

Seve was 54 when he died.  I am 56 right now, so the picture above father and son is more meaningful to me than sports accolades.  The film shows Seve's determination and love for golf but it showed most what is so incredible about him, that his presence still has me transfixed when I watched his movie.

The BBC documentary which I will watch tomorrow will be interesting but it is Seve the Movie and the actual story of his farming background and development as a young boy of 9 and how he developed that had me gripped.  The BBC Doc is on you-tube :
