"If Seve cannot come to us, we must go to him."

John Huggan makes a worthy suggestion regarding Seve and a proper way to honor him. It's not what the cancelled Champions Challenge might have been, but it's something:

The European Tour must step in now and arrange an official Seniors event in the week before the upcoming Ryder Cup. There is still time, sponsors can still be found (how about the Bank of Santander?) and it can be done.

Held at Pedrena, Seve's home course, the tournament would surely attract a field worthy of his position as European golf's most historically significant practitioner since the Second World War. Indeed, it is hard to imagine any of his colleagues passing up the chance to pay tribute to their stricken colleague and hero. Even the less-enlightened must realise that, through his so vividly capturing the imagination of public and sponsors alike, their bank balances are today bigger than they might otherwise be. So the great man deserves nothing less than their undying respect and gratitude. As a former boss of mine used to say as he dished out assignments: "Get it bloody done!"
