    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

    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.

    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..! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    Keep up the great work loving the show.

    An awesome podcast. So refreshing to come across golfers like Lee Westwood who haven't their head up their back side.

    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.

    Comfortably the best guest and podcast episode to date! What a guy Lee Westwood is and I loved how he doesn’t look back on his major career with regrets and only spins his experiences as positives.

  • @reganmead2721
    @reganmead2721 2 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    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

    • @DD-eight
      @DD-eight ปีที่แล้ว

      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

    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.

    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 ❤

    What a funny man is Lee Westwood! He's brilliant. Good at taking the piss. Especially when Rick leaves him with the oppotunity to do so. This's one of the best podcasts I've seen so far. Well done Rick and Guy, and also Lee for being such a good sport :)

    Yet it is the 128th, I find this goes easily to the Top-5!
    Lee’s voice and the mellow take on himself is just money! I’ve felt Lee attitude for years, but this just puts a period to my expectatons. What a lovely guy and what a tranqualizing tone of voice!
    Saying that I jus realze, that is exactly, what you need on a course playing. Tranquil mind and good decisions with determination to pull it out.

    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!

    Lee is absolutely spot on when it comes to young kids and golf. I have also seen some young teens with massive injuries because they have been hitting too many balls and did no other sports. My son (8 years now) has been playing since he was 3 but till this point we are still taking it easy with practice on the range. Rather take him around the course for couple of holes or go putting. Some parents think their kids need to be scratch by 12 but in all fairness they have couple of years more till they need to compete at high level. BTW, my son has a great picture together with Lee so big credit to him that he shows up in front of the kids during tournaments.

    Great interview... same format as the Faldo interview in that you let the star of the interview shine through as they should ... lots of time for their answers to be formulated and expressed before rushing onto the next question ..
    I think your interviews are the best format quality on youtube... cant wait to see the match between Lee and yourself..

  • @mybrandnewsocks
    @mybrandnewsocks 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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
