Watching today's KZfaq golfers struggle with these 'vintage' clubs is a good reminder of just how good Seve and Jack were.

Jack, the greatest, tee to green and game management who can compare. Seve, the greatest match play golfer ever and his range of shots was sometimes astonishing. These days the game seems so dry, so mechanical, so money driven. Very few great characters left.

Jack and Seve two great champions! Seve left us far too early. RIP Mr. Ballesteros!!

RIP Seve. One of the sweetest swings ever.

Seve and Jack.....blades and real woods....links golf........My favorite golf video.

Seve was my hero as a junior golfer. I followed him on many practice rounds in Augusta, when you could still actually get a ticket. His confidence and flair set him apart from any other on the course. Thank you so much for this treat, to see my favorite golfer once again.

I was at Manly in Sydney. Think it was 1971 when he shot a course record 62. Nobody ever hit a one iron like Jack. The greatest golfer that ever lived. What a credit to the game.

The best era for golf fans.

Two great champions and great ambassadors for the sport. Genuine heroes in different ways...... RIP Seve.

Bring back those tiny little woods and those spinny Balata balls. Real art.

I watch a lot of old golf videos…and I would say there is something completely different about these two golfers. I think the modern game is crafted a lot off of these two right here.

My two favorite golfers, and Mr. Alliss....about as good as it gets for me.

Thank you so much Sevefan. Excellent. I said to myself on the last "NO way Seve holes this, 2 million to 1"... Trust Seve, the legend....unbelievable!😮

As an American and HUGE Seve fan, I just wanted to thank you for uploading this. I never knew it existed and I appreciate it. Seve was a magician, a class act and a true gentleman, even finishing the hole when Jack gave him a short putt in an exhibition match. RIP Señor Ballesteros.

This match in 1986 at the Toyota Matchplay (Ireland) I feel justifies my earlier comment and Seve mano a mano more often than not came through, really miss his charismatic character.

I watched Jack play a round of golf at the Australian Golf Club in 1996, he was 58 years of age then and well past his prime, he was also rather out of shape to be fair. His swing was short and you could tell it was a real physical effort to make a decent swing. Despite this jack shot a 1 under round of 71 and to watch him manage his way around that course was an absolute delight, no wonder he won so many Majors, he truely is the very best ever.

"Light-hearted"? LOL.Seve had a laugh but was trying like hell to win,his swing is poetry in motion and when the Ping worked as in '88 he was unstoppable. The mighty Nicklaus showed his quality even though he was obviously unfamiliar with the course. "Out of bounds?" Proper golf played by two greats,should be compulsory viewing for those who think Tiger Woods invented golf. Thank you,mil gracias,muy agradecido.

Sevefan. Please do know I have enjoyed this vid for a good dozen of times and I started to play golf right after Seve's passing, given the little fame he has in our country surprisingly. Many of us got to know about him once he was gone. These videos are huge inspiration to me. I can only wish I didn't start playing golf earlier, and maybe, despite born 89 having had a little chance to meet him or see him play. Thank you for this wonderful contribution.

A fantastic match played in good spirit. Never count Seve out 'til the end!

En el minuto 12 aproximadamente, al escuchar a Nicklaus pronunciar la marca de sus palos..."su primo no, supremo", Seve y su humor, siempre dispuesto a emerger en cualquier momento...

Thank you very much for uploading this!

seve and nicklaus are the two greats for me

Thank you for posting . “Legends “

I still use them. It's about relaxing and having fun.

Wonderful footage Two great champions entertaining the crowd with their relaxed patter and golfing skills

Seve was an absolute BEAST on the golf course, and he was a wonderful, admirable man. The golfing world hasn't been the same since his passing. But, please, let's not get carried away comparing these two champions. Jack Nicklaus was head and shoulders above the rest. His accomplishments in golf and life stand alone. The rest are competing for 2nd place.

Have to agree with most comments, two great ambassadors of Golf, I would only say if Seves drive matched his short game he would have been the best. R.I.P Seve. (Cookie 007).

Great stuff! Thanks for posting!

Enjoyed watching this match! Thanks for posting.

Miss watching Seve and Jack like this.

It is wonderful to hear Jack and Seve so clearly enjoying themselves. Well done RTE and Sevefan for uploading. @ Dana Starbuck @ commented this is "gold dust". I cannot surpass that comment. It is brilliant stuff. Thanks @ Sevefan. You did us a great service.

I mean... Just look at those swings. Poetry in move.

Peter Alliss.... the master wordsmith at his lyrical best ....37 min.... ( who else could make it up )

Can listen to Aliss all day!

The great days and players!!

2 lionhearts,, icons, legends, genuine SPORTING SUPERSTARS... dont get better than this without Trevino🍸🍹👠❤⛳⛳⛳

@Dreama40 As promised here is the exhibition match Jack v Seve in Dublin.

Thanks for uploading this.....sham jack lost ....but that said nice to see seve win

Jack was 46 years old and a past his prime, Seve was only 29, but great to see the match.

what a turnaround, great match x

Strangely enough, Channel 4 did broadcast some US golf in the early 80s (I think they showed the Masters from '83 to '86). They may have broadcast ABCs coverage of the '83 Ryder Cup, so they could be a possible port of call.

Fantastic upload. This is gold dust! I think Seve would have traded the Masters Title from Jack for this win in that year. Many thanks Sevefan for a wonderful channel you have. Any news on the mythical 3 wood bunker shot at the 83 Ryder Cup? Or are we wasting our time looking for something that does not actually exist?

It's hard at the age of 46 to compete with someone Seve's age and talent. Even so, Jack came within a whisker of tying the great Spaniard. Twice Nicklaus pulled his tee shot, the second time on the 17th hole, where it cost him a stroke. Arliss commented on the first pull that Jack's legs stopped working through the ball and the upper body took over. I wouldn't have noticed that, but upon replay, yes, I guess that's right. Even an all-time great still can have bad habits creeping into their swing. Golf is such a precise, demanding game. And the difference between winning and losing can be as little as moisture on a green.

Drivers look like todays hybrids. Amazing skill

very enjoyable thanks

Love those small butter knives and driver heads

You could never count Seve out!

The two classic colors of retro vintage golf

Did you see the wee drivers they were using ? Peter Alliss, such a wonderful voice companion for this video from Ireland.

terrific golf by 2 greats

El mejor del Mundo durante los años entre 1978 yDosmil y...Pico

My two golfing heroes......😎

Both absolute Legends with poor technique, after the great swings of Hogan and then Peter Thompson in the 40s 50s and 60s came the 70s and 80s swings, Apart fromTom Weiskopf and a few others none of us had a clue and didn't study Hogan enough including all our coaches, the lack of video didn't help though. The swings over the last 20 years have gone back to the Hogan style and with modern technology the top pro's make the game look a lot easier. Seve was a genius and an honour to have partnered with him 4 times in the Ryder Cup. RIP Seve.

Heck of a match

Seve was relentlessly competitive, and often in a cruel or unsporting way. His mind games were legendary. But he did not dare mess with Jack. Good match.

@Spence Kissack: Sure, it was (by all accounts) a big cut shot from under the lip - I've read & heard so many accounts of it over the years, and seen the stills by Phil Sheldon. But I have no idea where you could have seen it, as the BBC didn't cover that Ryder Cup in any shape or form. I do recall commentary between Dave Marr & Peter Alliss late on the Saturday of the '87 match (the first US one the BBC had ever covered, broadcasting the ABC footage & using their commentary). Seve was playing a fairway bunker shot at 17, and Marr said: "Peter, he hit the greatest shot I've ever seen in '83, with that wood out of the bunker onto the green", with which Alliss agreed. This indicates (but doesn't prove) that ABC did catch it, & that it may still exist in their vaults. But again, given the worldwide demand to see it, it's not encouraging that they've never managed to unearth it - you'd imagine they've been searching as hard as anyone. ABC really would be the only company thhatt night have it.

I love their relaxed attitudes and conversations. And they didn’t hit down taking the turf so much like nowadays. Jack asked Seve what iron he used. Was that allowed at that time?

its funny listening to Nicklaus yakking through the round. He sounds like everyones grandpa. It's also interesting to hear him say things like this @17:30

Back when golfers wte not all about themselves. i love how they tallk to each other about their swings afytewr they teed off......would have loved to been walking with them

This is amazing. It just showed up on my homepage! This was back in the day when I was really, I mean really really, into watching golf as much as I could and playing when I could afford it plus also being really happy about practicing. Nick Faldo or somebody I like to follow. An acquaintance @work once called Nick Faldo, Foldo

The greatest shot in golf. Jack with a one iron

We were all awestruck with Seve's effortless swing in the 80's. He made it look so easy. He looks so comfortable. Nicklaus always looked like he was trying and concentrating so hard, as if his life depended on it. He made golf look difficult. Just look at the agonizing way Nicklaus crouches over the ball with his putter in the most uncomfortable posture I've ever seen.

wow!

What a putt on 18 by Seve... nerves of steel

Jack still killed the ball at age 48

Are you active on GolfWRX? Max Canada

Seve Seve! Magic...

Ya I’m def addicted to golf...

2 of the BEST 🏌‍♂️🏌‍♂️

20:13 seve trying to see what club jack played ...

Tiger is arguably a better golfer but he could still learn a lot from jack! What a great champion and role model! Jack vs seve or tiger vs phil? Jack and seve for me, every time!

@Sevefan, thankyou thankyou thankyou, much appreciated ! Sending good karma your way.

love to see golfers today use these clubs

Dana Starbuck Seve had the Masters in his grasp that year, briefly 3 shots clear after his eagle at 13 but his heart, soul and ball sank to the bottom if the lake at 15. I still have one eye open for his 1983 bunker shot. I AGAIN contacted the PGA of America but AGAIN they do not reply!!! Some day, some day...

Jack is still the greatest golfer of all times!

Soo-preh-moh good clubs!..... Jack didn't want to admit Seve's Slazenger/Sounders were maybe better than his signature Muirfields!

when seve revealed his club to jack before he tee'ed off ,,just curious if that is a penalty ? great to watch all the same

Nothing sounds like a pured persimmons .

Ben Wright was the greatest golf announcer of all time

Save never led until the last hole. Wow

I think if Seve was a straight driver he would have surpassed Jack's major haul. Brilliant footage added to favourites

LEGENDS..

jack never bogeyed a final hole to lose in a regular pga event- but did it here.

Seve was incredible; it was a shame, that after '88, he just couldn't keep the ball in play, and then to lose his short game. In his prime, he was the best

The crowds

i would like to see golf stars like... Rory. Phil, Tiger etc play with the clubs those guys used Tiger wouldn't have as many Majors i'd bet

Seve, never in trouble

Nicklaus did not like this I think..losing at the last hole.. :-)

Sevi was a great player, but had to depend on his short game, as he was wild off the tee. Jack could absorb any of the barbs, being the most successful golfer of his time.

2 class acts no doubt about it

lol at Jack at the beginning. No, Dublin (OH) was not the first capital of Ohio nor was it ever a capital.

don't know who wins but severiano had such a pretty swing, I bet jack wins tho he was just too mentally tough, now ill watch and see if im wrong.

Golfers of that era did not wear hats. And the hair was much longers.

Chillicothe was the first capital of Ohio

Why is it that Jack faced other legends one after the other. Why is it that Tiger's major victories came against nobodies who never won a major. Young Jack today. Where is DeChambeau? I want to outdrive him with this new equipment. Young Tiger in the Nicklaus era. G damn it these clubs are too hard to hit.

Real Men playing real golf clubs. Persimmon woods and forged blades.

The greatest golfer in history hitting a 4 iron 180 yards?

in sevvys broken English it was "hack" nicklaus

Seve avenges his choke in april at masters and beats Nicklaus

Seve Jack Peter Alliss. 👊💪⛳
