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
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!
It was at the St Andrews Dunhill Cup around 1990 where, late in the day and virtually dark, only Nick Faldo was still on the range. Since he was alone, he took the chance to start around 50 yards from a flag and then at 1 yard intervals hit ball after ball along a trail set out like an Easter egg hunt by Fanny Sunesson, each ball a fraction farther away. He’d only pause to take a longer club from Fanny every 20 or so hits all the way down to the driver. Incredible work ethic and very much in tune with his early solo routines as a teenager.
Faldo turned pro the day i was born.....I've loved listening to this. My idol and the reason I started playing golf back in 89
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.
Absolutely love this podcast
1987….. on holiday in Cornwall…..Newquay caravan park….watched the final day of the Open on a little portable TV…..spent the remainder of the week
Learning to play around the pitch and putt….. my start in the game x
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.
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.
Brilliant interview, letting Nick talk. Really enjoyed it.
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
Absolutely inspiring , the life bit about deleting couldn’t have come at a batter time for me - thanks Nick, Eric and Donnie
Amazing stories ! Love Sir Nick’s perspective.
Love how Sir Nick used to train with speed sticks back in the days.
Frankly I was doing almost the same, using heavy armature sticks that I found in the backyard storage 😂
Love to see it! ❤
King of the non sequitur. Incredibly fit, also. Dude's a legend.
Nick ( forget the silly Sir bit ) is a great and deserves everything he has achieved in playing the game but he does rather love himself quite a lot. In the words of the great Tommy Docherty ' If he was a bar of chocolate he'd eat himself ' ( think that was referring to ' The Special One ' )
FACT: Nick Faldo's parents were awesome
Great stories!!!
nick's mind is the reason he won 6 major's and why jack won 19, there were better golfers with more talent but they didn't have the mind skills which is why mind control is now just as important as technic
I don’t think it was just mind. Nick was fairly old when he started golf and apparently he was good at multiple sports …
Ulleswater.....yep I did that, so have my kids ha ha.....not much has changed
I don’t think americans care about an englishmen
