Interview with golfing great Seve

Seeing the pictures of Seve Ballesteros in the papers over the weekend was upsetting, but it was good to read that his willpower was unaltered.

The golfer – who won three opens, two Masters and 91 tournaments – has remained positive since being diagnosed with cancer a year ago.

The Spaniard is fighting for his life and wants to play in The Open next year at St Andrews, which is where he won the event in 1984. He says this was his greatest win.

It was also Seve’s determination that brought about Europe’s success in The Ryder Cup in the 1980s. I am sure his passion rubbed off on the other players.

Seve Ballesteros and His Fight for Life, an Inside Sport Special will be shown on Wednesday, October 14 at 10.45pm on BBC 1.

Meanwhile do Premium Bonds ever pay out?

Mine never seem to, but I haven’t given up hope - yet.

Luckily the interest rate now on Premium Bonds, which determines how much money you can win, has been increased from 1% to 1.5%.

Apparently many people with £1,000 of Premium Bonds won’t win anything over a year.

I suppose you have more chance of winning on them though than on The National Lottery.
