Disagree that Jack in late 60s early 70s was his best. He was so much better in the early 60s. Listen to Hogan's comments at Cherry Hill in 1960, or watch him play at Oakmont, etc in the early years.

Damn hearing that story of working at Scioto CC back in the day reminded me of old times. I was offered a job with Walker to play with the members, teach, etc, having just graduated from college as a member of the Buckeye golf team. I had no idea that he played with Hogan and was a player himself. Kind man though, was a really nice interview and he basically was vouching off the recommendation of OSU golf coach Jim Brown. Life happens, and I decided to go to FL to play the mini tours and 4 spot on the PGA Tour. Fast forward 35 years, life just blows by so fast.

Arms swing or body swing? The debate could go on BUT I see many high-handicap golfers who keep their shoulders parallel to the target line and swing from their armpits! So if you tell them it's an arms swing, they will carry on not turning or rotating.

Nick picks up a club at age 13. 8 yrs later he beats Jack Nicholson in Ryder Cup.

Jack won more senior majors than just the open after 92

Golfing God❤

Such a good interview. I went back and watched the end of Nick's first Masters. Amazing tension.

Loved this - Bring us more heroes please!!

Absolutely love this podcast

When Jack's playing Titleist 4, you change ha

This was so cool 😎 for Sir Nick to share all those honest & in depth memories with us. He was my idol growing up as a golfing youngster in New Zealand.

The golf nick played in 1990 and especially at St Andrews it’s was so good , nick was miles ahead of everyone that year and it was only eclipsed by tiger in 2000 and arguably that’s was the best golf EVER played by tiger , so nick was special

Nick gave me one of my favourite sporting memories. Oak Hill Ryder cup 95 , all square on the 18th against Curtis Strange in the singles . Pivotal match , and Nick pitched it out the semi from 93 yards to about 3 foot . Holed the putt to win . The scenes afterwards with Seve are stuff of legend …… fantastic

I love Nick, but I doubt there are too many players in the world that could have ever committed to a change like that, AND become that much better on the other side. It's really quite remarkable, yet imagine Ledbetter running into Trevino with those swing mehcanics? No way. Another thing, boy did he throw us all off with his demeanor on the golf course...so reserved, so stoic. Then this new Nick, or the Nick that was always hiding inside...animated, entertaining, and may I say, a bit of a jokester even.

If LIV golf wins and the PGA tour goes away, I will probably be done with watching current pro golf onTV. However, I will continue playing golf and will be watching the old Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus re-runs. LIV Golf Sucks!!!!

This is key. An exceptional athlete. The Athlete that goes really far are not a fair dot change even when they are both winning and feeling comfortable. They are prepared to make an adjustment even though adjusting is going to be detrimental. Taking them into an unfamiliar, uncomfortable motion. It’s so rare there so not a single word for it.

I love Nick. I Have loved Nick ( Sir Nick) since I saw him on TV in the late seventies with his willowy, legs driven, reverse C high hand swing., His Swing for Life book was a kind of bible for me for years. ( It probably taught good and bad habits-go to pro, guys, you can't really learn from a book or vids!) It goes on. He is a bit of hero of mine. Finally walked the course with him at the British Masters last year.It was like heaven for a fanboy like me-except he played absolute rubbish!! I still cheered him on when others didnt!! This video is good. Nick, in spite of all that braoadcasting is still NOT a good speaker; he just struggles to string ideas together or tell a decent story, but hey, he is golfer not a raconteur! But if you are as mad a bout Nick as i am then there is some GOLD in this video. There are some things about the swing change, ( which is my main reason to love him) that i have never heard before. Well worth watching for that alone. Watching him talk about he figured it all out with the crank in the right wrist is just fascinating! And there is a nice bit about "tipping" the course, which i have not really heard before in quite this way. Brilliant.

Nick just had the stones to win the majors when others around him were choking. He kept cool and didn't try and hit shots that he wasn't capable of. I watched some of the tournaments that he stole from Greg Norman and Norman completely screwed up his strategy and started hitting irons when he should have hit woods, and woods when he should have hit irons. At one the Masters that Norman choked, Faldo striped a driver down the middle of a par 4 fairway, 260-270 yards, nothing crazy just normal swing. Norman grabs a 5 iron and swings very hard and hits it into the woods. He double-bogeyed and never saw the lead again. Idiot !

Fantastic golfer.. but not the most popular with his peers..

Love the episode, please come up with a solution with the bumping on the table. It’s brutal listening in the car lol.

I don’t think americans care about an englishmen

I had a blast talking with you guys. Thanks for having me on!

I had 6 B’s this week and I will be 80 yrs old in 25. Please tell all your beginners to place the balls behind their set up position taking the balls out of their vision of sight. The game is a head game improve your tempo and rhythm by not rushing throw the bucket. I started when I was 40. Enough for now

Yap yap

So good. Especially the end.

Yap

He didn’t have the advantage of all the stats that modern golfers have. Sergio Garcia may have won more Ryder Cup points but he never faced the competition that Faldo did. Some stats don’t always tell the whole story.

Great Interview! 💯

These segments (Rick Smith and now Como) are AWESOME! Love to see Jim McLean or Butch Harmon if ever possible.

Chris Como has such a unique perspective on golf. I could listen to him for days... and never get bored!

Fascinating from start to finish. That transition period for amateurs to move to the 1.68 ball must've been a good few years. I was born in 1974 the first year the Open went to the 1.68 ball but there were still lots of the 1.62 ball around when I was about 8 years old.

Keep making good content and they will find you

Whst a player jeeeez ..❤

I’m a former PGA professional and as a kid Rick Smith was a huge influence on me. I love how he explained things. This was great listening to Rick and Nick talking swing concepts. Great channel! Looking forward to hearing more in the future.

Living in the states, being a yank, I feel in love with Faldos drive and intensity!! He was the ultimate grinder that worked harder than anyone to perfect his craft. Still one of my all time favorites. Also a great commentator as well. Nothing half assed about this bloke. Appears to be all in with all he does! Different generation!

Not been mean in any way.but has anyone seen the footage of nick in tears after getting fined for slow play I think it was ,shows how much he loved the game .

Absolutely fascinating, you never see this stuff on TV as there so worried about air time, thank god for UA-cam, that story of 6 years from start till Ryder Cup and win all his matches and beat Jack and Tom in year 77 same year as the dual in the Sun @ Turnberry. Will never be a more successful British Golfer than Sir Nick, true legend.

Sir Nick it was always a pleasure to watch you play and win in your glory years on the tour(s). It’s fantastic to hear your reflections and stories. You’re still fondly remembered at Craigmillar Park GC. Thrilled that you remembered us at (44:30). Please come back some time.

Outstanding wake up call for today’s data tech instructors….they have confused majority of new players…. I learned by trial and error competing with friends and made up games …..imagination, shot making, feel is a lost art in today’s game…..best vid I’ve watched in years…well done letting Rick and Nick talk real golf….

Amazing!

The Nicklaus technical comments are interesting. I started playing golf in 1972 at age 12 and I tried to copy Jack’s movements, particularly his ball position at address just inside the left heel with every club. It took me a lot of years to learn I didn’t have the inherent athleticism to pull that off. I didn’t start playing my best competitive golf until the mid to late eighties after the great teacher Charlie Sorrell moved the ball back in my stance, allowing me to cover and compress the ball more consistently and add distance with the irons. I love these old school guys talking technique. I’m 64 now and I think most of us suffer from information overload with launch monitors and simulators. I play better without that data in my brain honestly.

Keep all the stuff about Nicklaus and Faldo, cut out all the other Mickelson, Jansen stuff. Gold nuggets about JN in this, thanks Rick Smith. Walker Inman was the man, Mr. Ohio 😮golf besides JWN🙌❤️👍

Seve may have lost what he had because of the brain cancer.

Eric is the best listener in the game! It’s an art!

nice discussion...free flowing good info

That was brilliant 👏

I could listen to these guys all day. As a golfer in my early 60's listening to them talk about the age related issues of hip and shoulder turn, I fight this battle every day. Loved listening to Rick talk about using your own swing instead of trying to get in certain positions all throughout the swing. Particularly interesting that Rick and Sir Nick are not fans on tucking that right elbow near impact. Wish I had an instructor like Rick to work with me. Thanks guys for this podcast!

Sir Nick and Rick - that’s the best recipe of informative golf podcast.

Has there ever been a sportsman, not even a golfer, who ever worked as hard? To extract every little bit from their potential?….

Absolutely inspiring , the life bit about deleting couldn’t have come at a batter time for me - thanks Nick, Eric and Donnie
