    Lee is one of the reasons I took up golf. I watched him in the Laurance Batley classic at The Belfry way back and was just in awe of his ability. Can't wait to listen to this on the way to golf in an hour.
    Another great guest. Keep them coming Rick & Guy.

    Video idea : range ball vs normal ball. Would be interesting to see the difference and helpful for us golfers who can’t use more than range balls for practice really

      Thts a great video!! I’ve seen some results from robots hitting them. With a 115 SS a new ProV1 went about 9 yds longer than a used or recycled prov1. The faster your swing speed the more the distance between ball increases

    I’m American, but have always been a huge Lee Westwood fan. He is a class act and has always had his head in the right place. I’m still hoping he wins a major, and wouldn’t it be awesome if he were to win the Open at St. Andrews. The clock is ticking on him, but I’d love to go have a pint with him, I’ll buy! Please pass this along to him

    I really enjoyed this, Lee is so dry, he has such a British bulldog way about him, says it how it is and no mistake, yet through his comments you can tell quite clearly that he has a heart of gold with his this will bring joy to some else attitude.
    This has been an absolute pleasure to watch..! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    Amazing epic interview.
    I love these talks with the legends - and videos if you are playing a round with them.
    It is super interesting, AND gives the younger generation a chance to experience the PERSONS behind these legendary names.
    This also makes it a richer experience to later watch these persons on TV.
    Thanks Rick for everything you have done ❤

    Lee's comment about most asked amateur question was spot on, I am a high school golf coach and I get asked every day, "Hey coach what club should I hit here." My answer has been the same as Lee's, "What club do you hit this distance" and they look back at me with a blank expression. Great interview thanks for all that you do Rick and Guy.

    Brilliant... When the quality of the person outshines the golf they play and the golf they play is outstanding that is someone who you could call a friend. Thank you Rick and Guy for interviewing such a fantastic person as Lee Westwood. Highlight of the interview for me was talking about the gentleman who had cancer. It goes to show how a simple gesture and act of kindness can have a massive impact on someones life and the ripple effect that can have is enormous. Looking forward to seeing the game. I have a request... can we please see more videos with quality people like Lee Westwood.

    Love Westwood, my mind wants to tell me that he’s like a duck on water.. looks relaxed but manic underneath but then you hear the insights and you can just feel that he’s the kinda guy you just feel at ease around. It’s so impressive he can keep that level of healthy indifference whilst competing at the top for 3 decades. You can’t teach it

    @craigsharp6581 2 роки тому

    Big fan of Westwood and his down to earth outlook. After listening to the interview I think I want him to win a major more than he does. 😂. But what an attitude to have probably why he has remained at the top end of the elite game for so long. Good luck for the rest of the season and I hope you get that first major at St Andrew’s at the 150th. So it’s not just a major it’s one that is a perfect storm.
    Keep up the great work Guy and Rick. Podcasts going from strength to strength!
