Years ago, I sat behind Sir Nick on the back of the range as a young cart boy and watched as he hit balls for hours. He was an absolute surgeon with those blades. I watched as he hit a 5 iron, fading and drawing in one yard increments. One yard fade, one yard draw, two yard fade, two yard draw….he continued until he hit big slices and big hooks. He went to the bag and grabbed one club longer and did it all over again….from the wedge to the driver. He’s the closest thing I’ve ever seen to a machine and he talked to himself the entire time. Absolute genius. I’ll never, ever forget what I saw that day. I learned two things that day. Sir Nick is gifted beyond imagination and at the time; the only thing that could stop Sir Nick…..is Sir Nick.
@Arthur Charles Harrison I guess the huge prestige of Shells Wondeful World of Golf didn't matter that much to him. considering how many times Sir Nick destroyed Greg in majors. He is in the Hall of Fame, and obviously Knighted for his services and efforts representing England in sport.
Faldo’s problem from ‘94 onwards was that he spent too much time on the range, and not enough time actually playing in tournaments. As a result he lost the art of scoring. Consequently the wins dried up he and began slipping down the world rankings.
@@wolfiemcwolf6617 "How many times did Faldo destroy Norman in majors"? A grand total of.... twice. With Faldo breathing down his neck, Norman destroyed him at the '93 Open. I'll certainly concede that Nick won more majors than Greg, but he was arguably handed at least three of them on a plate. But some facts for you to consider: Faldo: World no. 1 for 97 weeks. Norman: 331 weeks Faldo: PGA Tour wins: 6. Norman: 18 Faldo: Worldwide wins: 41. Norman: 88 Faldo: Major Top 10s: 26. Norman: 30 The roll of the dice was certainly kinder in the majors to Faldo. But Norman was the better golfer.
These videos inspired me to pick it back up. Walk the courses. I only score my holes with an L or a W based on how i feel the hole was played. Forget score and distance and this becomes a truly wonderful game. Thank you for the upload.
Greg isn't the most endearing personality but he really was a force as a player. The best driver in the game, the best mid-long iron player in the game and solid putting. He would blitz golf courses. Somehow he folded under pressure too much at major championships
Can't say I ever cared after finding out how reprehensible he was when I was a kid. They say never meet your heroes. Happily this was not the case with the Americans that came to play in The Open Championship: Kite, Watson, Nicklaus, Mize, Calcavecchia, Couples, Crenshaw, McCumber...each and every one was a total gentlemen.
I can tell you Faldo was more disliked than most of the top players, I think Norman would have been fairly popular in comparison if you discount Ozzies and Brits
I admit he won a lot of international tournaments. But he never impressed me that much. You're really saying something to call him the best mid-long iron player in the game. Maybe it would be better to say he was the best mid-long iron player of his era.
It was always weird to me how he could hit every fairway but he choked coming down the stretch with putts and irons on the closing holes. Hitting the fairway in tight corridors in major championships you would think would be the most nerve wracking but he always had that driver down.
@@jacktattis No Americans were in the field when Peter Thompson won his Opens. Good player and nice chap, but he won against the weakest fields imaginable. Hardly comparable to Greg Norman's era.
Both guys could really play. It's crazy to think Faldo only won 9 times on the PGA Tour, while Norman only won 20 times. Of course, Faldo won 5 majors to Norman's 2. But Norman's wins were super impressive: 91 worldwide victories, 3 World Match Play wins, a pair of Memorials (Jack's tnmt), a Players Championship, two World Series of Golf, a World Championship of Golf, and was a member of the victorious International President's Cup team in 1998 (their only victory ever).
Faldo did not play in USA nearly as much - started well after didn't play as many events. If you want to see real head to head - I would refer to 1996 masters final round . I can't watch that enough .
8:30 the reason that the gallery were so 'quiet and well behaved' is because they're not Americans have bought a lot of great things to the game, but raucous behaviour accompanied by shouts of 'get in the hole' at every turn help to drag this beautiful game into the gutter. I miss this era.
Everyone has cell phones in their hands now so they can't clap. All they can do is say something. Something stupid, usually. And that's just verbally. Take a look at the physics and it's a bunch of obese morons chanting into the wind.
Robert Dore - I am an older American and am disgusted by the rudeness of today’s golf “fans”. I don’t agree that America is the only country with idiotic fans but we are probably the worse. I want to jump through the tv every time some moron yells baba booey and cram a hot dog into their fat pie hole.
@@danmyers9372 I agree with much of what you say, I mentioned American's but at no time excluded everyone else, Sports fans in general have become rowdier and more boorish regardless of where they come from, only in England would people bring dogs onto a golf what the hell is wrong with these people??
To give you an example of how snake but Norman was in the 89 Open he made 10 birdies on sunday yes 10 including the playoff and still lost. Greg made some mental and physical errors in key situations but i loved the guy and god his luck was awful.
Much rather watch this over the bomb it as far as you can we have to watch today. This was about shot making, course management, a thinking man's game. The pro game has turned to crap. Faldo and Norman were awesome.
This just shows how good top level golfers are. They're hitting greens and fairways and are still not happy and being hyper critical of their swings and shot shape. Different gravy
I'm very impressed with both rounds. Norman put on a display, he had 3 nasty lip outs and several burned edges or his round could have been crazy low. Faldo was pretty much disgusted with every full swing he took, probably had no business breaking 74 or 75 and grinded out a 67.
This really shows how equipment (balls and clubs) have gotten out of hand. The two best players in the world at that time (and Norman was a long hitter) both hit 7 irons pin high on a slightly uphill 3 par with a minimal side breeze. Today’s pros would be hitting 9 irons and wedges. Old, traditional courses are being made obsolete. Something needs to be done equipment wise to protect the integrity of the game. It has gotten out of hand IMO.
They would solve a lot of their problems if they let the grass grow back like they used to, instead of mowing them down to the metaphorical linoleum like they do today. The “gouge” of Bomb and Gouge is the real problem; modern players aren’t punished by the “rough” because it’s never long enough to make a difference with their athleticism.
Jack Whitaker says golf is the illusion of perfection. So when Norman said Gregory could do better he was right and wrong. He cannot do better than he did on that shot because it was that shot. The circumstances and skills produced what he could do at that instant. He should of you can do better than Gregory at other times.
This was a few days before they headed to Turnberry for the British Open, and you can see Faldo getting very agitated about the state of his game. "A barrel of laughs" was how Norman sarcastically described the round. At Turnberry Faldo had a final round 64 to finish slightly higher up the leaderboard than Norman, but neither was in serious contention.
Why is it "insane"? The playing conditions were totally different in '87 than in '89. Also, Norman started seven behind in '89; Faldo started only one behind in '87 - he didn't need to make birdies!
@@MrAJR76 not being critical of faldo really just an example of how crazy the game of golf is. Norman by far was the more explosive player but faldo was less prone to error with a more conservative game and style but it suited him. Both had great careers greg should have learned where to dial it back and play for par
Brian Morgenstern Norman choked at the 89 British open despite a great final round, he didn’t need to hit driver on the final playoff hole. He drove into the bunker and ended his championship
Bobby Jones shot a 66 at this course at a tournament during his career. With his equipment and ball. He drove a few of these par 4s. If he had today's equipment and ball he would destroy today's courses
Were the winnings of these matches given to charity? Hard to believe the winner of this got a hundred grand but the winner of the 94 open "only" got 110k
Faldo is very much arms and mechanical rythm, whereas Norman is all about shoulder turn. Faldo dwarfs Norman but Norman was around 30 yards longer off the tee....
Main difference is that Greg was so dominate during those years apart from the majors where he fell short more often than not. Could have easily won 6 or 7 majors.
I love Greg but I hate the shark hats. It’s just a bit “up yourself”. I wouldn’t mind if Greg had won 5 or 6 majors but to act like a legend when you only won two…nah! That said, five guys won their only major over Greg - Mize, Pavin, Azinger, Calcavecchia and Tway, and three of them were in playoffs, so he was pretty stiff. Meanwhile, Faldo was a comparatively lucky winner at Augusta as all of his wins were assisted when other players blew it with bad shots or entire rounds - Scott Hoch misses a two foot putt, Floyd goes in the water, and Norman himself in 96. After all that though, people liked Greg and thought Faldo was an arse.
Well one man won 6 majors and 40 tournaments and was No. 1 for 18 months ….the other MAN won 2 majors and 90 tournaments and was No.1 for 7 years!!!!! …..is it all about majors? Did Scott Hoch, Ray Floyd and Greg himself help Faldo’s career?
Nicks awing was off.He couldn't hit a shot the way he wanted to.It just gos to show just how good his short game was.If the average golfer had to play from were he had to all day they wouldnt have broke 90.
Well it did them no good Norman never won anymore than 2 majors Even portly Bobby Locke who never lifted anything heavier than a few pints of Beer won four British Opens Played super fit Sam Snead in 15 matches head to head and beat him 11 to 2 with two evens. Then went to the USA beat Snead, Hogan, Nelson and won 9 events until the USGA had him barred because he never appeared at a function. The facts were, he was taking the best golfers in the world money and they did not like it. Now he was being out driven by more than 50 yards nearly all the time.
Norman got the least out of his talent in his era. Faldo was no where near as talented but got the most out of his talent. 5 majors is no small feat. Norman should have at least ten with that talent.
In fact watch Faldo at valderama 1997 Ryder cup and his iron play made tigers now pedestrian you cannot be a golfer to dog Faldo. Fuck me I’ll post a video on here when woods was 15 in an pathetic American news thing and he was envious. Faldo was a one off like hogan.
Faldo was just as talented. He had a long flowing dynamic swing when he first came on tour. He drove it by everybody. He just chose to change his swing into something that looks like that of a man with less talent. Take a look at his instructional videos and you'll see serious talent.
I enjoy Shell's Wonderful World of Golf. I love the game. I've noticed over the years that fat people generally are not in the gallery. When the camera spans the crowd at an NFL game, at least half the audience is obese. Now it is 2022. I am 57. I have never seen so many fat women in my life. They seem to be getting fatter and meaner. Many men my age are still athletic, yet most of our wives turned into fat, mean pigs. Why is that? Women from earlier eras were not as fat and mean. Men weren't pudgy fruitcakes. What the hell happened? I look at "Shell's Wonderful World of Golf" from the '60's and '70's. Nobody was obese in the gallery. I watch old football games from the same era....Nobody was an obese pig. I wonder why most women are fatter and meaner now. Just for fun- tomorrow take a look at every woman you encounter- and ask yourself if she is overweight. I bet you will finish your day knowing that 80% of women are fat. Being fat makes them mean. I speak from experience.
While you are right about the West's growing obesity problem, I have to ask but two questions: 1) Why are you only focusing on women? There are plenty of obese men around as well. You sound very bitter towards women. Just because your wife/partner is a cunt doesnt mean everyone else's is as well. But more importantly, 2) what the fuck does this have to do with the golf on display in this video?
Years ago, I sat behind Sir Nick on the back of the range as a young cart boy and watched as he hit balls for hours. He was an absolute surgeon with those blades. I watched as he hit a 5 iron, fading and drawing in one yard increments. One yard fade, one yard draw, two yard fade, two yard draw….he continued until he hit big slices and big hooks. He went to the bag and grabbed one club longer and did it all over again….from the wedge to the driver. He’s the closest thing I’ve ever seen to a machine and he talked to himself the entire time. Absolute genius. I’ll never, ever forget what I saw that day.
I learned two things that day. Sir Nick is gifted beyond imagination and at the time; the only thing that could stop Sir Nick…..is Sir Nick.

In fact watch Faldo at valderama 1997 Ryder cup and his iron play made tigers now pedestrian you cannot be a golfer to dog Faldo. Fuck me I’ll post a video on here when woods was 15 in an pathetic American news thing and he was envious.
Faldo was a one off like hogan.
10? Larry mize, Bob tway. The rest were mental
Faldo was just as talented. He had a long flowing dynamic swing when he first came on tour. He drove it by everybody. He just chose to change his swing into something that looks like that of a man with less talent. Take a look at his instructional videos and you'll see serious talent.
Put it on 40:45 thank me later
I enjoy Shell's Wonderful World of Golf. I love the game. I've noticed over the years that fat people generally are not in the gallery. When the camera spans the crowd at an NFL game, at least half the audience is obese.
Now it is 2022. I am 57. I have never seen so many fat women in my life. They seem to be getting fatter and meaner.
Many men my age are still athletic, yet most of our wives turned into fat, mean pigs. Why is that?
Women from earlier eras were not as fat and mean. Men weren't pudgy fruitcakes. What the hell happened? I look at "Shell's Wonderful World of Golf" from the '60's and '70's. Nobody was obese in the gallery. I watch old football games from the same era....Nobody was an obese pig. I wonder why most women are fatter and meaner now.
Just for fun- tomorrow take a look at every woman you encounter- and ask yourself if she is overweight. I bet you will finish your day knowing that 80% of women are fat. Being fat makes them mean. I speak from experience.
While you are right about the West's growing obesity problem, I have to ask but two questions: 1) Why are you only focusing on women? There are plenty of obese men around as well. You sound very bitter towards women. Just because your wife/partner is a cunt doesnt mean everyone else's is as well. But more importantly, 2) what the fuck does this have to do with the golf on display in this video?
Paul, you need serious help.
@@AlexGalloway1993 are you a fat person?
I like the way you think Paul
The old potato camera strikes again...!
This is from 94 douche rocket
