Best one yet guys. I could listen to Sir Nick all day talking golf and not get bored, absolute legend
Totally agree. One of the best pods anywhere, much less golf! This was my favorite interview you all have had!
I agree. I think it’s a combination of his vast knowledge and experience and also his calming voice.
@@saxmanryan1187 that voice is soothing needs to be on a app like sleep aid
I find it hard to watch golf if he isnt one of the commentators haha. This was a great podcast.
100% I watched them talk about Augusta instant had to come find the full podcast lol
This beats anything you have done before - Sir Nick brings knowledge, history, humour & the time flew by - brilliant!
By far the best pod cast interview yet lads. Sir Nick is such a legend and the reason I took up golf in the early 90's.
LEGEND in bagging all the women..
From the era I first played as well, criticism for being robotic / methodical but as he documented had to rebuild his swing to make it secure under pressure for the majors.
Wow! Just wow! Well I'm trying to think of a way to word this properly? For me it wouldn't matter what golfer you got on your show from now on. You have just hit the pinnacle of golf podcasts. Sir Nick is my all time golfing hero. You could get Tiger on, and it still wouldn't top this. A true true legend of the game, and when he speaks, you listen with every ounce of concentration you have. Well done guys for this. Thank you so much...
One of the best Faldo interviews I've seen for a while. Relaxed, knowledgeable and keen to share. Maybe him whooping you on the course first was a good tactic! Well done, chaps.
Could have listened to Sir Nick for another 5 hours. Best podcast yet, can't wait to see the video on course with him.
💯
I can't wait to see what's wrong with Rick's grip,as I've adopted it and it's amazingly good!(especially driver)...
"6 years from picking up a club I played him and I beat him. So how about that?"
Love it! Great interview lads 👏🏼
Such a Faldo thing and way to say it. Love it
ELITE!
Best podcast yet, everyone knows Faldo is a legend but I could watch x10 more episodes like this covering each part of his life and career. #TheLastFarm
100% agree
This was my favourite yet. Just sounded like a conversation with an old friend and some incredible insights on a truly brilliant golfer. The 6 years from start to Ryder cup to beating Jack is mind blowing and what an amazing place that golf course is too albeit the weather was a shocker for you.
Absolutely top notch. Sir Nick has an unusual sense of humour, but once you get onto his wavelength, he is a great guest. He clearly was enjoying himself and the opportunity to speak without fear of misrepresentation. Well done Rick and Team.
This should be mainstream TV best and fun interview I can remember well done you 2
Golf Channel would be very smart to have this on their programming as maybe a "late night" show. No other league besides maybe the NBA has anything comparable.
@Tom Kreiling
Agree with you il spread the word to our syndicates here in Gibraltar Faldos stories of Masters green jackets and how it works is priceless and never been told
Except everyone has UA-cam and not everyone has Golf Channel. So, UA-cam is better…
@@lawbinson What if clips of the show ended up on UA-cam too? Just like Conan, Kimmel, and Fallon all are.. crazy right
Absolutely loved this. Faldo was my favourite golfer and this has just cemented him at the top.
Brilliant edition. Like many others have said I could listen to him all day and not get bored. My favourite all time golfer.
For me, the best podcast you’ve ever done. Faldo was such a brilliant guest, so interesting. Well done both, beautifully done.
Tommy was brilliant. Bryson was intriguing. Hovland was fascinating. But this one blew me away. Well done, guys. Sir Nick is such a great storyteller, loved every minute of it! Honestly, I can think of only one guy who could possibly top this ;-)
Colin Montgomery?
@@teaandbiscuits1 That made me laugh out loud :)
@@teaandbiscuits1 bernhard but it might take a while
As a younger person who only heard about Faldo's legend, this podcast has given me so much more respect for him! 6 years to learn the game and beat one of the best ever! Insane.
Not one of the best ever. The best ever.
Absolutely bloody brilliant ! Thank you , so interesting to hear Sir Nick's thoughts ... As an older one and knowing some negative newspaper writes up about Sir Nick in those times I've always thought he was our greatest golfer
I think a lot of golfers even then liked nick for being so committed to what he needed to do at the cost of not being the blue eyed boy of the press. I remember him saying back in his peak on a BBC interview for him it was about trying his maximum to compete and win, when he couldn’t he would be done. But he could look back and know he had given his all and not gone through the motions
Absolutely brilliant - dropped Sir Nick home once - wow what a golf room full of memorabilia and two drum kits 👍 had a lovely red 911 in his newly built garage and one piece of felt fell on it he went mad - absolute perfectionist - that was back in the 80s - played at Frilford Heath and Staunton Sands with him - amazing ball striker every one pured! Great video chaps👍
Interviews like this are why this is the best golf chanel. Sir Nick was relaxed, your questions were insightful, resepectful but not obsequious. I think he appreciated ths and seemed to enjoy it himeself.
Different class. I watched Nick Faldo at the Muirfield Open. His long iron play was on another level. As he pointed out he was hitting drives 260 to 270 and firing the approach shots to under 15 feet every time. I watched from the green and to see him as a spec in the distance and the ball come thumping down on the green is a sight I will never forget. All done without a range finder just Fanny Suneson on the bag.
Sir Nick is so different now than when he was competing. Genuinely one of the funniest person in golf.
Think he always got an unfair rap (and selective coverage) off the press back in the day tbh. That said, he's stated that in hindsight he would have got to know his fellow pros, e.g. Greg Norman, better than he did. What a legend though, love the guy
Listened to this twice. Faldo is a genuine legend. Loved the interview. Look forward to seeing you at Faldo ranch driving range hitting his old clubs
What golfer on the planet wouldn’t have had the best lesson of their lives from listening to Sir Nick in that conversation. Confident but humble, knowledgeable and intelligent. Great to see you both having the opportunity to chat to such a great champion. Thank you for sharing with us all.
Great interview, lads. That was really interesting what Faldo said at the end about the fact that the tour pros usually only play the smae courses on the tour circuit and how businessmen will have played more of the top courses in the world than the tour pros. Also his perspective on a golf course without the grandstands in place was really interesting.
Indeed, as in a real opportunity to take in the surroundings and admire where you are. One of the joys of golf is the peace that often surrounds you as you cut away from everyday life
Guy, Rick truly outstanding! Sir Nick is amazing, just loved listening to him, what a legend!
Thank you!
Gotta love a local lad lol Faldo always a true pro and you can tell he would sit there and talk golf all day
Always been a Faldo fan.. watching him and fanny, they was untouchable… like him even more now!!!… well done guys!!!
Absolutely fantastic! I grew up in the Faldo era, he was always misunderstood because of the media and he is a legend. Thank you, for such brilliant content!
Same here mate..he got a bad rap because of his temperament sometimes...like he'd get a bit frustrated and the media would make a massive deal out of it.
Nick was my favourite golfer by far back in the day.
Great to see him so relaxed and chilled here,very genuine with a great sense of humour.
Nick Faldo was an absolute machine. Tremendous mental game . Overhauled his swing mid-career
Absolutely brilliant boys, one of the best ever interviews!! Faldo is a great story teller.
Best podcast yet, Faldo is an all time great, interesting comments about club fitting, makes you realise how good these players were back in the day.
I have my old irons as have come back to the game at 60, they are about 25 yrs old cavity back even then and are still decent, but what the pros played then very unforgiving.
Brilliant jobs guys. Fascinating to get a glimpse at the genius of Mr Faldo.
One of the most inspiring things I remember from the 80s and 90s was the Nick Faldo charge. There was a point in the middle of that era (probably '90 when I was 18) when you knew it was coming - and it did. He was the Ian Botham of golf for lads of my generation: more controlled and disciplined than Beefy, of course, but with the same champion's flare. He was simply magnificent.
We've had so many and have so many Great british, Irish and European golfers , but Sir Nick and Seve will always be the best , superb interview, Sir Nick will always be a legend 🏌️♂️⛳️👍
Best one you’ve done by a country mile. Faldo was my golfing hero growing up and he’s such an good communicator and seems so comfortable in his own skin. Whenever Sir Nick talks, I stop and listen.
Ditto, in my head I was making his swing when I first started playing...still love watching him hit balls in the 90s
@@bagpussmacfarlan9008 I even did the same thing as him as a kid. One ball would be Seve and the other would be Faldo, my imagination would then take me to the last round of The Open and the final two ball and I’d then play a game between the two for the Claret Jug.
I grew up watching those last 6 holes on Sundays at the dinner table with my dad. I wish I realized the greatness I was witnessing back then. My dad would tell me the stories of Lee Trevino and the characters of the day. I remember being a Langer fan because of the way he dressed and Seve because of his swagger. Tom Watson and that whole era just rocked. I still watch golf on Sundays and miss my dad. There's still nothing like the last afternoon of a major.
My era as well, listening to the St Andrews open on the Saturday, Faldo V Norman, that round was the perfect illustration of how small margins impact golf. I think a ten shot swing where nicks putts that didn’t drop Friday, did and vice versa for Greg. His record in the Ryder cup, legend
I could listen to Sir Nick all day, and I am someone who wouldn't have even thought about playing just over a year ago.
The most interesting golf interview I've listened to. He was always the thinking man's golfer and was really misunderstood! He had his faults but who doesn't. I had an interesting chat with him years ago when he was putting lead tape on his Putter at Mid Herts Golf Club despite the fact he was on a winning streak! England's best player ever!
I love Nick Faldo after this interview - such honest perspective and so informative. Thanks for the interview!
What a belter !!!!!! You really got the best out of Sir Nick , fascinating from start to finish.
I really enjoyed this. Just a relaxed chat with a god of golf.
What a totally fantastic doco - well done guys - next Ian Woosnam. Being an aussie, growing up with Greg Norman, David Graham, IBF, Seve, Nick Faldo, Nick Price, Ian Woosnam and co, what an era....see if you can get some of the others for a truly international footprint - what a doco you did about behind the scenes at Augusta - well done team rick!!
What an insight into arguably the last old school champion. Absolute golf gold. Well done.
Best interview yet by a country mile..thanks to Sir Nick..great to see him relaxed and talk openly...legend..class👍🇬🇧⛳️🏌🏼♂️
Excellent. I remember when he went through hell after changing his swing. The ball was going in all directions but somehow, he kept focussed on what needed to be done and came out the other side a much improved player. Just shows how important the mental side of the game is.
And was getting grief for that single minded focus / dedication. As in you’ve won tournaments as a pro, Ryder cup etc and have to re build and be methodical etc. press soon changed when he won his majors
Outstanding interview lads.....i could of listened to this all day.....just imagine taking up golf then six years later making the Ryder cup team and then beating Jack and Tom....mind blowing......bravo 👍
WoW Rick that might just be the best golf interview I've ever heard. Great stuff. Faldo talking smack at the end is priceless!
Best one yet , could listen to sir nick talk all day.So knowledgable about golf and what it means to every single person who plays the sport
Fantastic. Who doesn't like listening to Sir Nick? 👏🏻
One of if not the best podcast of any type that I've ever listened to. Terrific answers throughout.
Best podcast yet, guys. I could listen to Faldo for days. We should also remember that the majority of us are only playing golf because of Sir Nick; he was our guy taking on and beating the world and inspired the next generations to get out on the course. Its a brilliant hour of top class listening - well done!
This is simply delicious...! FUN to see and ear the REAL Nick Faldo one of the coolest Tour Player I had a chance to meet long ago..! who at the time even if he was one of the most popular player, in private was one of the simplest and funniest guy I met. Exactly like he was with you guys..! I'm sure you know and understand what I'm meaning after your interview...when you are a big golf fans !.. Great Job Guys !..
Best interview to date, and zero offense to all of the other great ones! So awesome to see Sir Nick Faldo in just a mellow, easy going conversation! Love it!
I'm 42 yrs old have been a casual golf fan since a kid and I've never quite liked Sir Nick Faldo when younger, probably due to press but this interview and 9 hole has absolutely changed my mind. What an absolute top guy. Hats off to him how well he's done for himself 👏
I don't watch many long UA-cam videos but this one I couldn't stop watching. Hour plus? Seemed about 20 minutes and I could have watched another two hours. Thanks Rick.
Great golfer, so strong mentally. Love listening to his commentary.
I'm 41, I grew up watching sir Nick Faldo on the little TV in the kitchen with my grandad, we loved cheering him on and the reason I picked up the love for the sport from a young age. this was a amazing episode, such a lovely comfortable chat really funny too, I just also want to say "cheese and salad cream sandwiches are awesome but also slices of cucumber raise the game! 😋 Cheese and pickle is standard but can i ask have you tried cornbeef and tomatoe ketchup? It's pretty good. Much love guys, thanks for the content x
Sir Nick should be treated like a national treasure what a player .what a guy
Loved that interview. I got to watch Sir Nick play Augusta in his prime, His course management was incredible. RS, you know youre bigtime when you get to interview these types of golfers.
FANTASTIC only down side was it only being 1 hour could of watched all day . So different to what i was expecting him to be like . More of this please
Greatest golf interview hands down 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥 you guys knocked it out of the park!! Your best show ever. Sir Nick is a legend!! The Goat !!
Absolutely brilliant, well done fellas to get. Sir Nick 👍👍👍👏👏
Rick, this is by far one of your best interviews. Sir Nick is a very humble gent. I have always admired his play and watching him when he played and now as one of the best analysts on TV.
Sir Nick is a joy to listen to, please try to get him back for more of his stories about himself and the greats of golf. Best podcast yet by a country mile.
I’d like to take the time to thank you personally for such an amazing interview with an absolute legend of the game and my absolute golfing hero. Brilliant Rick just brilliant
Brill ! well done Rick Shiels Fantastic to hear SNF as a regular guy just enjoying golf chat - and giving some some excellent insights and views - 👏👏
Great interview Guy and Rick . ...Sir Nick is such a great guest and what an ambassador for golf ⛳️⛳️⛳️
Absolutely fantastic podcast, Sir Nick is my favourite golfer to go back and binge watch and I love his commentary! Really awesome guys!
Fabulous your so lucky to do what you do and have people like sir nick Faldo come on your show
Well done Rick and guy
You guys are just smashing it with thease podcasts! Think its tiger next isn't it ??😉
A brilliant conversation with an absolute legend. Thank you to everyone involved. - Mark
The best so far gents. Sir Nick was the reason I took up golf when I was a kid. My dad got me hooked on the masters because of Sir Nick. Still my favourite golfer ever. Keep them coming Rick.
To share that knowledge and time what a legend Sir Nick is as you said.. I could see you both were in awe of him.. GREAT podcast guys..🙌🥂
Fantastic this ,Faldo alongside Ballesteros were my heroes growing up.
This is a most inciteful interview showing Faldo is not just a voice on TV to a lot of younger golfers that never saw him play. Excellent interview.
Well done! This i s superb.... I have never heard or seen Sir Nick so relaxed and open. This is because you both put him at ease and you could sense that he was not 'on his guard'. Light and interesting.
What an incredible interview, Sir Nick was one of my favourite golfers to watch and he seems like a genuine nice bloke.
Faldo is one of my favorite golfers ever. Core memories watching him play in the early 90s when I was a small child. Great interview.
This is a whole new level of brilliant. Faldo is such a legend!
Absolutely brilliant podcast, and the coverage of what happened on the course maybe even better! This guy is just so absorbing when you hear him talking golf or giving tuition, could listen to him all day. Love the bit about feeling like, "yes, I've found the secret! I've got golf sorted!" - and then it all goes to pieces on the next outing! I think all of us, whatever level, has experienced that feeling about our own game. Bloody golf!
Keep up the good work guys, look forward to more content.
Faldo was my golfing hero growing up and he is a joy to listen to. I loved this guys. Keep the podcasts coming.
Nick was good to me as a kid in Portmarnock where I was a sea scout collecting the rubbish. Gave me an autograph and a minute of his time. Pure gent
Great show, this is by far my favorite of the interviews I have seen on show.
Without a doubt one of the best episodes! So much knowledge and I love how he remembered everything! Very good questions! Amazing how you guys put him into right mood so he can unload everything! Amazing job guys! Keep the amazing guests!
Best episode ever , wow ..the clarity the though process...what a legend of the game. As everyone has mentioned, could listen to him talking about the game for hours/episodes ... just brilliant. Well done guys🤜🏽🤛🏽 top class👌🍻
This is by far the best one yet- amazing insights and so cool to listen to Sir Nick. Loved the masters chat!!
Listened to this in the car the other day; was laughing and smiling throughout - simply an excellent interview. Sir Nick is a legend.
Watching it again to see your reactions to the big answers.
What a superb interview with Sir Nick, this interview shows a different side of him and the wisdom he has and knowledge he has is brilliant.
Think this is one of the best interviews I seen and really congrats on you both for getting a legend of the game to give up him time and talk about the great game we all love. Sir Nick i always thought he was up himself but after listing to him over the last hour change my mind a lot.
Nick is from teenage golfing era, absolute ICON! always enjoyed watching him, it was always edge of the seat watching him and Seve going stroke per stroke.
Golfers in this era has been self taught , Nick tells a story of owning 1 long iron given to him by an uncle, as a child the rest we all know!
Absolutely the best interview ever. Faldo is great and I am so glad you guys let him talk as much as he did. He is the real deal!
Great to hear from Sir Nick
Brilliant interview. I was glued from start to finish. Sir Nick does have a great personality too which made it a very easy listen. But I would loved to of heard about the swing rebuild he went through and how bad things had got before he decided enough is enough I need to rebuild. But non the less, great podcast.
Hands down the best podcast, I'd love watching Sir Nick when I was kid
Wow loved it. I could listen to Sir Nick and yourselves all day. Fascinating, interesting and brilliant.
That had to be the best Podcast I've ever watched in my entire life. Not only the best Rick Shiels Podcast but the best ever. I honestly wish that went on for another 3 hours, just listening to Sir Nick Faldo talk was amazing. Truly class act, great job.
Brilliant, what a guy, he is so accommodating and humble about his career. Love it . Well done both.
Done well there lads,you had Faldo as relaxed as I’ve seen him and that resulted in a fun and fascinating interview…good stuff.👏
Wow, just wow.
You guys and a very relaxed Sir Nick. Best interview with the man I have ever watched.
Thank you.
Great interview! So chilled! Get that game on as nick is great tv! What a nice bloke!
Utterly mesmerising. Faldo was a truly great player. Thanks for this.
