Seve Ballesteros always did have a liking for drama. Think of the birdie putt that the Spaniard holed on the 18 th green of his final round, and the iconic celebration that followed, on his way to winning the 1984 Open at St Andrews and you’ll know what I mean.
Ballesteros’ love of the dramatic extended to his career as a golf course designer, and nowhere is this more evident than on the layout he created on Porto Santo, the eastern-most island on the idyllic Portuguese archipelago of Madeira.
