Calling again upon this team spirit, the Seve Ballesteros Trophy. has been created, or in other words, Continental Europe versus Great Britain & Ireland, somewhat similar to the matches played in the Seventies. Precisely in one of them, held at The Belfry, in a match against Faldo Severiano hit one of the most spectacular shots that had ever been seen at that venue, reaching number 10 green from the back of the tee, a par 4 flanked by a stream. From that day on this, the most spectacular hole of the course has a name: "The Ballesteros Hole".

In 1999, on the occasion of Severiano's induction to the Hall of Fame, Lee Trevino pointed out that : "Every generation or so there emerges a golfer who is a little bit better than anybody else. I believe Ballesteros is one of them ... On a golf course he's got everything - I mean everything: touch, power, know-how, courage and charisma."

But the best summing-up was delivered by Ben Crenshaw when he stated Seve plays shots I don't even see in my dreams!
