A marvelous video! Nick Faldo is someone (probably the only one) who really wants to give everything he knows to others, who really wants to teach something seriously in a clinic like this! Thank you for posting!
This is gold. I was a huge Faldo fan when I started out watching and playing and this stuff is really fascinating. I remember him hitting the chicken wing fade into the 11th at Augusta in the play off to beat Ray Floyd. Watch the clip and you can see that there was never a chance the ball was going left.
Out of all the Pro golfers in the world who do golf clinics Sir Nick's would be at the top of my list. They say those that can do those that can't teach but he is the exception in that he can communicate clearly exactly what going on. That and he had one of the best mental approaches to the game ever. Great video thanks for sharing this.
Golden. For us journeyman, this is the golf bible. We've been searching for the 63s consistently and Sir Faldo has the answers. The respite we've been searching for. Pay attention people.
Lovely stories, really interesting and loads of respect for Sir Nick. But seriously, good job he's good at golf, because the 'clinic'was just a rambling load of gobbledygook
This is quality teaching from Faldo. If the people sat around are cat1 golfers then they should comprehend what is being taught here and if they don't get it, then perhaps they need to start reading some books.
How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice. Faldo was a legendary worker. He says that he practiced dawn to dusk, hit 3,000 balls every day starting in his youth.
Faldo gets so much flack for being that self centered guy etc, he was way ahead of his time in understanding that the mind is a huge factor in pro (and amateur) golf. His swing is talked about as holding up under pressure , and as technically good as it was you can just tell it was his presence of mind and routine that allowed him to perform at the very highest level. His book , A Swing For Life is a brilliant instructional publication, these kids are so fortunate to have this opportunity to learn from a true golfing great. A playing lesson of 18 holes with him would be a golfing education of the very highest caliber.
I love hitting chippy wedges from 110 yards or chippy 9 iron from 130 yards. It’s easier to hit it straight at the hole and not over do it swinging hard with a sand wedge
Like him or not, Faldo had the balls to rebuild his swing under Leadbetters tuition when Faldo was already a good player. Europes best ever golfer in terms of Major Wins (6 times) . Young and old golfers could learn an awful lot from his mental approach to the game.
People underrate how far he actually hit it. He was long enough to keep winning in modern times. Fast running fairways is the real reason for distance gains. The ball is a Red Herring. Tremendous Class.
Too true. He comes form the age of persimmon woods and wound, three piece golf balls. I come from that same period, and even getting a sweet strike from those woods was difficult, to say the least. Modern 'woods' are just so forgiving in terms of sweet striking that you CAN give it a proper lash and not worry too much about whether you're going to get a sweet strike, only worrying about where the ball is going, really. However, playing with those clubs has made me a better golfer, much more prepared to take time over shots, much better at striking (I still play blades), and just all round better as a player. I very rarely hit over 80 now...
That is a great point, the ball runs for ever on modern tour fairways. Ive played for 50 odd years, and ive noticed no change in how far the ball goes, old or modern clubs.
Not my favourite golfer ever, but he was so bloody good! I would kill to have as good a golf swing as his. Mine is well grooved these days, but it's taken 27 or so years to get that way!
I love nick. but my god its so scattered . maybe a little hung, but an outline and taking the kids through some of the exercises or drills might help them remember better.
I'd get it now. Theres one on ebay now for $4.42 free shipping. Get the original release---the one with the blue cover. Also... Look up his "pre-set drill" here on youtube. Best drill ever.
I agree with a few others comments. Sir Nick is confusing these Children and could easily confuse most Amateur Adult Golfers but everything that comes out of his mouth is true and helpful. But I just truly believe "one on one" instruction would be the most beneficial to everyone. It's just so hard nowadays to find and trust a local pga pro who can teach that one on one and at the same time be affordable.
A golf clinic with someone like Sir Nick involves reading between the lines to get the best out of what he’s saying. Not something all kids may be good at! Interesting stuff though.
@@whenisasnakeatail4933 Wow thank you for your reply. That’s very nice of you. Of course what you say is quite true. But I wasn’t asking if he was a closet homosexual was I or secret trench coat flasher wearing the disguise of wig and sunglasses. It’s just an ordinary every day question which sometimes is recorded on Wikipedia. I now don’t particularly recall why I asked the question. Maybe I was trying to get some insight into his character but it wasn’t to condemn or judge him. I wish I hadn’t asked it. I suspect he’s either an agnostic or an atheist. But these types of questions are usually acceptable for public figures. I believe Jack Nicklaus believes in God. I suppose I was wondering if Nick was the same. But hey if it’s any consolation to you my friend I no longer want to know. If you find out, please keep it to yourself. Let it be the worlds best secret shall we. Sheesh people are so tetchy these days. Get a life why don’t you. Hey no offence buddy but good on you for sticking up for Sir Nick who is a man that I happen to like, like so many others do. In the unlikely event of ever meeting him I’ll tell him about your great loyalty. He’ll be impressed I’m sure. In the meantime happy golf. I don’t keep score anymore. I just put my cards through the shredder. Anything to stay happy I say. 🤣😂😅
@@whenisasnakeatail4933 I personally think it’s better to be real and be what you are and in many ways I think this is the way Nick is. To me it’s a better way to be. Yeah sure I believe in God and because of it I lose votes because it’s not popular.Too bad how sad. I suppose if I was an atheist I’d be just as vocal. I think Mr Greg Norman, who’s obviously totally AOK can be a bit unreal and does so to boost himself. And I reckon that sort of shaky confidence cost him majors which he should have won because he had the game for it. I say be what you are warts and all. People might not like what you are but they’ll respect you for being you. But today everyone wants to be like Elvis and win ‘em all and not put a foot out of place. But Elvis believed in God didn’t he and didn’t hide it. The bottom line is this. If you try and please everyone you’ll dilute your uniqueness and end up pleasing less people. If you want to be really real, you have to let it all hang out. Ok so you don’t believe in God. Don’t hide it. That’s my philosophy or my dimes worth. Keep talking to me if you like but if not I wish you all the best friend. Take care and keep loving those fairways and greens. Personally I don’t like those golf courses that have alligators. I’d have one less club in the bag and replace it with a 308. Any alligators would get it which I’d score as a hole in one. 😂
@@whenisasnakeatail4933 Yes you bring up a very good point. But it’s a question of getting everything in perspective isn’t it. In other words we don’t want to confuse politics with religion. Much of religion is actually politics. The Jews who crucified Christ did so under the banner of religion but it was actually politics. Christ quite rightly accused them of being hypocrites hence they nailed him for it. The Catholic Church which is essentially a control mechanism is rife with all sorts of perverts although it also has its fair share of good people. It’s a complex subject which I happen to have a good handle on. Essentially all religions with the exception of Judaism and Christianity are man made fabrications to stop the poor from murdering the rich. Judaism got superseded by Christianity which largely got hijacked by those who want to control the world. To view it in its simplest form is to use the example of a simple basic primitive tribe that has a witch doctor. His true purpose unbeknownst to the tribal members is to keep the chief in power whom he works in with, hand and glove. The chief’s greatest danger is the tribal members. They can easily become discontent because he has a much better life. And without a witch doctor he will get overthrown hence the existence of the witch doctor. And also the existence of all these crazy religions which the atheists point the finger at as an excuse to not believe in God. Some of these control mechanisms in ancient times really tamed the people giving great safety to the rich. Baal worship really crushed the people. They had to throw their first born child into a sacrificial fire. Talk about cruelty. And it might seem crazy to us today but it was impossible to stamp out this cruel religion. It’s hard for us to comprehend how this could be so. Even the Jews at different times would go off the rails and partake in its foul practices. It’s makes you wonder doesn’t it. The only way it could be stamped out is everyone in those societies had to be killed even infants because eventually they would have instigated Baal worship again. And God commanded the Jews to kill them all. Maybe you and I would have done it differently. But we’re not God. And even though you and I might think we know what’s best, however God knows better. Yes God destroyed everyone in the flood. They had gone bad. But he saved the righteous 8 on the Ark and you and I are descendants of the 8. And whilst you might see God as maybe being tyrannical, take the following into consideration. God knows everything and He knew before He created the human race that He would have to become a man and be sacrificed on a cross in order to save the race. But nevertheless He creates us anyway knowing full well what’s in store for Him. If that’s not love then what is? And He would save all if all would accept Him in the form of Jesus Christ. But we know that many will reject Him, with you being one of them. Like I say it’s a complicated subject which I happen to understand inside out and back to front. But where you are at is you don’t want God to exist and you don’t want to be ruled by Him. The greatness of God overshadows your greatness and diminishes you and you aren’t too crazy about that. You will be looking for ways to wag the finger at God to substantiate your position. Anyway if you want to keep talking and not throw your hands up in horror or disgust then be my guest. No problem.
@@whenisasnakeatail4933 As an absolute aside to witch doctors and all that jazz let me share some golf observations. I presume you too play golf. Firstly let me say I’m a terrible golfer. Actually, I know I shouldn’t even be playing the game, but the problem is I have hope. Which has me hoping I’ll improve. I’m not a golf nut like a friend of mine who can talk about putting for 3 hours which is ok if you’re not trapped in a car with him, although he’s an intelligent guy whom I enjoy listening to. And I like the guy. But I love fairways and greens and beautiful golf courses. And whilst I can talk on the subject of God till the cows come home I can also listen. I don’t force myself to do it. It just comes naturally. I’m interested if you know what I mean. I have a wide variety of interests from boxing to the ballet. My curiosity levels are very high which I directly attribute to Mozart and other similar fine music. I’m 76 and still in business which for me is fun. Most of my life I’ve really been a bit of a 2 bit trader although this seems to be changing. I’m no Shakespeare but seemingly I can communicate with the pen. But back to golf I’ll say this about Nick although we should be calling him Sir Nick shouldn’t we. This guy is one tough hombre. That’s how he won 3 masters. I think he could have won the US Open and the PGA but maybe it wasn’t meant to be if you want to start talking about fate. I don’t think he really had a yearning burning desire to win them. He’s essentially quite a conservative person and maybe that’s because he’s English. Having the royal family produces that effect upon the population. I’m a royalist myself although I’m a New Zealander. The USA doesn’t have this advantage. I presume you’re an American. The existence of the Royal family and what they do really helps society in so many different ways. But there will be the jealous ones who would undoubtedly disagree with me. I thought Nick’s comment of “ I’ve got you mate” when talking about Greg at the Masters was an interesting one. Nick spotted Greg’s lack of confidence. And maybe Fuzzy spotted it too at dinner with Greg the night before the playoff when he won the Open. It’s all about confidence isn’t it. Ok sure yeah you’ve got to have the game Ah but without the prerequisite confidence it’s not enough is it. Nick is essentially a down to earth type. He didn’t turn up in a Lamborghini to ram the other guys did he. Hey that can work but it’s a shaky foundation. I was surprised to see it work for Phil wearing his green jacket on the practice putting green to get to the other guys. I didn’t think that was very nice at all. Not nice. I think he won that year, I’m not sure. But he never would have beaten Nick in his hay day. Ever. Why? Because Nick had more confidence and the game to go with it. But now that he’s no longer a spring chicken he will have his challenges, although he shouldn’t have. Those great victories can keep him going for 2 lifetimes. He likes to achieve. I’m disappointed with the new breed of golfers on tour. The way they spit and swear. I’d never go to watch them. I like gentlemen. I suppose soon they’ll be getting tattoos. Regrettably they are going to the dogs. They’ve lost the plot.
@@whenisasnakeatail4933 I am probably what you could describe as a raconteur who holds the floor but instead of speaking I write. But in real life I can sit back and be quiet although if the occasion calls for it I can be larger than life. Let me share my thoughts with you on LIV golf. There is the possibility that the viewing public might eventually shun it unless they come up with some amazing PR. It’s not right to blame players for joining for the money and getting an easier life. We all want that. But I think it’s sad that so many people are materialists. Yes get what you want. Get the creature comforts you need. But if you get it to show it off or want to tell others about it, then in my book you are a materialist. And materialism doesn’t produce long term happiness. I don’t care what others have as long as I get what I want. But what I want I don’t want others to know about it. Therefore I’m not a materialist. I’m happy for the result it produces for me. Jack Nicklaus isn’t a materialist is he. He plays it down. If someone has more money than me I don’t feel put down. But maybe some of these LIV golfers are materialists. Maybe not. I don’t know. Are they happy? Maybe they are. And if they are how long will they stay that way. The general public understands they did it for the money and in many ways they are understanding of it because that’s life. But the public is funny. They don’t like disloyalty. They used to like John Rahm but now they love the guy because of his loyalty. They are crazy about him. And the genuine support of the public is a real thing. It helps the golfer. When a golfer loses the support of the public his game suffers. When Matt Kuchar stiffed his caddie and the public knew about it, his game suffered. When Tiger got caught with his fingers in the cookie jar his game went to pieces, because he knew that Jack and others like him could not be admiring his behaviour and subsequently he lost his confidence in being able to believe he could win. And I’m not sure, but there’s the possibility that the LIV players are feeling a bit the same way. I’m guessing of course. I guess time will tell, won’t it. But good luck to them. But it might not end up being all beer and skittles.
Also his book is great but it's things learned from Leadbetter but doesn't ever want give to him credit! Sad! Check faults and fixes with nick price & Leadbetter on UTube! Same swing thoughts he passed on to Faldo!
james fitzgerald I think he did do a lot of work with Leadbwtter who rebuilt his swing - but after that he pretty much went his own way. Anyway Faldo had to do the playing not Leadbwtter - and Leadbwtter built his business off the work with Faldo so he did very well.
i dont want to be picky, Nicky, but if you only hit one shot every 5 minutes on the course and average 4 shots a hole, that makes 20 minutes a hole which is 3 holes an hour which is 6 hours a round :) aside from that, he's talking a lot of sense, but most of them don't seem to be interested - hmm...
im with sixtyton angel nick is just confusing those kids , I hope the kids did not have to pay for this so called clinic , what nick should be telling the kids is that it don:t mean a thing if you aint got a SWING .
They have absolutely no idea who they are with, nor do them see to care. He keeps talking about Jack. They have even less idea, or interest in who Jack is!
Sir Nick is trying to get the kids to think for themselves. Mastery doesn’t come from being told what to do but by figuring out how how it is done so you can remake it for yourself. The best chefs practice their recipes for months before putting them on a menu because quality or performance is Knowledge, Practice and Talent. Talent is the least important. Knowledge is the most important. Practice is the only way you can tie it all together.
Someone told me don't know it's true but our skeleton's change 4 times in a life time so how time's does your golf swing change in a liife time 3 times ? or more?😂
He's a good teacher; he understands the inner confusion of a young aspiring golfer growing up with a thousand different ideas fizzing around their brain.
Prepare ? I don't think nick did a lot to prepare for this lesson he's giving lol... stumbling all over the place and he seems a bit unorganized. I know that's a bit harsh but I just thought i'd throw that out there lol. Great golfer though and really like his commentary and he's very entertaining :)
kids usually resonate with young golfers they get to see on TV every week. Can you honestly see any kids really engaged? Half of them are looking at the ground bored out of their minds listening to his old war stories. Great golfer in his prime but he can't teach to save his life and completely unaware he's teaching young kids. "Here kids, important to warm up your wrists, ok when you're young but when you get older..." What? They're probably thinking "'Yeah, thanks grandpa, I'm really interested in these warm up exercises for old people", along with "when is Rory or Spieth coming?".
If those kids are bored listening to europe's most successful golfer ever, then they probably need to go home and get stuck into their iphone. If you think the problem is Nick, then I would suggest that nobody is misunderstanding millenials than you, sir.
these kids have a golf legend in front of them and they are more interested In their I phones -kids these days are in a total bubble of self importance!
TheNYgolfer it is terrible instruction. It sounds like he is making it up on the spot! I like Faldo and think he is funny but he is terrible at being a tutor.
Favorite English golfer, lot of insight into his thoughts and methods.
Pure gold from a true legend. You guys have put together a great program to get players of Sir Nicks calibre - what a great start for these kids!
A marvelous video! Nick Faldo is someone (probably the only one) who really wants to give everything he knows to others, who really wants to teach something seriously in a clinic like this! Thank you for posting!
6 time Major winner. Was my hero growing into the game.
Nick is just AWESOME! Thanks for the upload

I remember him hitting the chicken wing fade into the 11th at Augusta in the play off to beat Ray Floyd. Watch the clip and you can see that there was never a chance the ball was going left.

Phil McIver I
Best damn clinic I have ever watched. Faldo is my hero :)
Good job Sir Nick! Shows how much willpower and focus is needed to play at that top level.
Thanks for publishing this dandy video IJGA! The kids will get more from this video later on... Sir Nick Faldo giving two meals for the price of one.
"I love to hit balls"
me too. I think all the pros and the best amateurs share this love. Every day practically.
Golden. For us journeyman, this is the golf bible. We've been searching for the 63s consistently and Sir Faldo has the answers. The respite we've been searching for. Pay attention people.
Check out Nick Faldo's Golf Course. I used to have it on VHS. Still one of the best instructional videos made.
Reminds me of myself yrs ago listening respectfully to my grandad explaining his days mining for coal .
This guy would be an excellent teacher because he really knows whats he is talking about.And,its all TRUE :D
Your worst shots gonna be your best.
Never get tired of watching NF swing just beautiful
Lovely stories, really interesting and loads of respect for Sir Nick. But seriously, good job he's good at golf, because the 'clinic'was just a rambling load of gobbledygook
Sir Faldo! I got a ton of info out of this. I think we can all learn something from his swing thoughts.
This is quality teaching from Faldo. If the people sat around are cat1 golfers then they should comprehend what is being taught here and if they don't get it, then perhaps they need to start reading some books.
How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice. Faldo was a legendary worker. He says that he practiced dawn to dusk, hit 3,000 balls every day starting in his youth.
Still you are the best with not normal swing way . Cause you are the man.
Great personalty, he makes the game fun.
Quality guy really fun to listen to everything he said
that's why he won so much. love im

Lots of good stuff in there - have a notepad handy!
I think Sam Snead said: "You have to dance with who you brung." Nick talking about using what is working at 22:00
I used to hit 15 hundred balls a day,
it was the hardest thing to put them away!
Bob Seger nearly.
I love hitting chippy wedges from 110 yards or chippy 9 iron from 130 yards. It’s easier to hit it straight at the hole and not over do it swinging hard with a sand wedge
A show warm down exercise would be good , it’s called the 19th , we need advice seriously
Nick could hold it together under pressure ...unlike many other great British players who lose their bottle.
nice one Nick
So funny the weekend golfers in the background whaling away when they should be sat at the front asking questions 😀
Is he doing Ernie at 1:09?
Even for adult,s he is rambling on without a point that's easy to remember. Faldo has an amazing swing.
Like him or not, Faldo had the balls to rebuild his swing under Leadbetters tuition when Faldo was already a good player. Europes best ever golfer in terms of Major Wins (6 times) . Young and old golfers could learn an awful lot from his mental approach to the game.
Very good session, get me? I'm gonna start taking a deep breath and walk up to the ball like a mummy.

When it comes to golfers who led the fitness revolution, only two names came to my mind. Gary Player and Tiger Woods! Great video!
I don't know how old you are but Gary Player was very big and still is with the fitness revolution.
Not my favourite golfer ever, but he was so bloody good! I would kill to have as good a golf swing as his. Mine is well grooved these days, but it's taken 27 or so years to get that way!
Best since hogan, get me?
certainly loads of similarilities with Hogan interms of obsessive dedication to practice...
I love nick. but my god its so scattered . maybe a little hung, but an outline and taking the kids through some of the exercises or drills might help them remember better.
Agreed. This is why he is in the commentation business. He is going so fast i can hardly follow him.
He's an annoying commentator too
Balata golf balls young golfers would nt know what one is ha
Nick...I get you... bloodskjn
HIs book Swing for Life is the Bible for Golf. A must have.
I'd get it now. Theres one on ebay now for $4.42 free shipping. Get the original release---the one with the blue cover. Also... Look up his "pre-set drill" here on youtube. Best drill ever.
Faldo is the man

A brilliant template for every day golfers - he never took a divot.
Young and stupid.. look at the faces of kids.. They never know how they got a historical lesson from the legend.
i’m gonna use the #2 chicken wings and fries next time into the wind. Thanks Nick
A golf clinic with someone like Sir Nick involves reading between the lines to get the best out of what he’s saying. Not something all kids may be good at! Interesting stuff though.
Faldo is still like 10 sometimes. And it's just wonderful to watch
Still got a vhs of him teaching kids with a very young Kristy Gallagher
nick they are not arsed with practice ,they want all the glory without the work ethic
Some of those kids sitting there pissing around like they're in economics class or something...youth is wasted on the young!!!
All time great, maybe too much for these young kids to absorb but nevertheless great inspiration and instruction
What is with the cameraman! I wanted to see the draw!
It's all David Leadbetter swing! Nick Price first one that Leadbetter helped! Same drills!
nice video
Or is a golf swing always evolving
funny how these kids dont realise how lucky they are to have a lesson with Nick, some look bored staring at the ground
Too young to appreciate the wisdom - I'm nodding to everything
Nick Waldo golf swing = hands and eye coordination
He hit lots of iron shots in this clinic but never once took a divot. Why? Most pros take acres of divot.
It's a British thing before irrigation... You'd break your wrist in the Summer
35:28. hahaha dummy in the background. learn to make u galf bag not be effected by wind noob. and 46:00 this game is funny
I like Nick. Does he believe in God?
Does anyone know what his views are on religion.

They had to throw their first born child into a sacrificial fire. Talk about cruelty. And it might seem crazy to us today but it was impossible to stamp out this cruel religion. It’s hard for us to comprehend how this could be so. Even the Jews at different times would go off the rails and partake in its foul practices. It’s makes you wonder doesn’t it. The only way it could be stamped out is everyone in those societies had to be killed even infants because eventually they would have instigated Baal worship again. And God commanded the Jews to kill them all. Maybe you and I would have done it differently. But we’re not God. And even though you and I might think we know what’s best, however God knows better. Yes God destroyed everyone in the flood. They had gone bad. But he saved the righteous 8 on the Ark and you and I are descendants of the 8. And whilst you might see God as maybe being tyrannical, take the following into consideration. God knows everything and He knew before He created the human race that He would have to become a man and be sacrificed on a cross in order to save the race. But nevertheless He creates us anyway knowing full well what’s in store for Him. If that’s not love then what is? And He would save all if all would accept Him in the form of Jesus Christ. But we know that many will reject Him, with you being one of them. Like I say it’s a complicated subject which I happen to understand inside out and back to front. But where you are at is you don’t want God to exist and you don’t want to be ruled by Him. The greatness of God overshadows your greatness and diminishes you and you aren’t too crazy about that. You will be looking for ways to wag the finger at God to substantiate your position. Anyway if you want to keep talking and not throw your hands up in horror or disgust then be my guest. No problem.
@@whenisasnakeatail4933 As an absolute aside to witch doctors and all that jazz let me share some golf observations. I presume you too play golf. Firstly let me say I’m a terrible golfer. Actually, I know I shouldn’t even be playing the game, but the problem is I have hope. Which has me hoping I’ll improve. I’m not a golf nut like a friend of mine who can talk about putting for 3 hours which is ok if you’re not trapped in a car with him, although he’s an intelligent guy whom I enjoy listening to. And I like the guy. But I love fairways and greens and beautiful golf courses. And whilst I can talk on the subject of God till the cows come home I can also listen. I don’t force myself to do it. It just comes naturally. I’m interested if you know what I mean. I have a wide variety of interests from boxing to the ballet. My curiosity levels are very high which I directly attribute to Mozart and other similar fine music. I’m 76 and still in business which for me is fun. Most of my life I’ve really been a bit of a 2 bit trader although this seems to be changing. I’m no Shakespeare but seemingly I can communicate with the pen. But back to golf I’ll say this about Nick although we should be calling him Sir Nick shouldn’t we. This guy is one tough hombre. That’s how he won 3 masters. I think he could have won the US Open and the PGA but maybe it wasn’t meant to be if you want to start talking about fate. I don’t think he really had a yearning burning desire to win them. He’s essentially quite a conservative person and maybe that’s because he’s English. Having the royal family produces that effect upon the population. I’m a royalist myself although I’m a New Zealander. The USA doesn’t have this advantage. I presume you’re an American. The existence of the Royal family and what they do really helps society in so many different ways. But there will be the jealous ones who would undoubtedly disagree with me. I thought Nick’s comment of “ I’ve got you mate” when talking about Greg at the Masters was an interesting one. Nick spotted Greg’s lack of confidence. And maybe Fuzzy spotted it too at dinner with Greg the night before the playoff when he won the Open. It’s all about confidence isn’t it. Ok sure yeah you’ve got to have the game Ah but without the prerequisite confidence it’s not enough is it. Nick is essentially a down to earth type. He didn’t turn up in a Lamborghini to ram the other guys did he. Hey that can work but it’s a shaky foundation. I was surprised to see it work for Phil wearing his green jacket on the practice putting green to get to the other guys. I didn’t think that was very nice at all. Not nice. I think he won that year, I’m not sure. But he never would have beaten Nick in his hay day. Ever. Why? Because Nick had more confidence and the game to go with it. But now that he’s no longer a spring chicken he will have his challenges, although he shouldn’t have. Those great victories can keep him going for 2 lifetimes. He likes to achieve. I’m disappointed with the new breed of golfers on tour. The way they spit and swear. I’d never go to watch them. I like gentlemen. I suppose soon they’ll be getting tattoos. Regrettably they are going to the dogs. They’ve lost the plot.
@@whenisasnakeatail4933 I am probably what you could describe
as a raconteur who holds the floor but instead of speaking I write. But in real life I can sit back and be quiet although if the occasion calls for it I can be larger than life. Let me share my thoughts with you on LIV golf. There is the possibility that the viewing public might eventually shun it unless they come up with some amazing PR. It’s not right to blame players for joining for the money and getting an easier life. We all want that. But I think it’s sad that so many people are materialists. Yes get what you want. Get the creature comforts you need. But if you get it to show it off or want to tell others about it, then in my book you are a materialist. And materialism doesn’t produce long term happiness. I don’t care what others have as long as I get what I want. But what I want I don’t want others to know about it. Therefore I’m not a materialist. I’m happy for the result it produces for me. Jack Nicklaus isn’t a materialist is he. He plays it down. If someone has more money than me I don’t feel put down. But maybe some of these LIV golfers are materialists. Maybe not. I don’t know. Are they happy? Maybe they are. And if they are how long will they stay that way. The general public understands they did it for the money and in many ways they are understanding of it because that’s life. But the public is funny. They don’t like disloyalty. They used to like John Rahm but now they love the guy because of his loyalty. They are crazy about him. And the genuine support of the public is a real thing. It helps the golfer. When a golfer loses the support of the public his game suffers. When Matt Kuchar stiffed his caddie and the public knew about it, his game suffered. When Tiger got caught with his fingers in the cookie jar his game went to pieces, because he knew that Jack and others like him could not be admiring his behaviour and subsequently he lost his confidence in being able to believe he could win. And I’m not sure, but there’s the possibility that the LIV players are feeling a bit the same way. I’m guessing of course. I guess time will tell, won’t it. But good luck to them. But it might not end up being all beer and skittles.
Also his book is great but it's things learned from Leadbetter but doesn't ever want give to him credit! Sad! Check faults and fixes with nick price & Leadbetter on UTube! Same swing thoughts he passed on to Faldo!
james fitzgerald I think he did do a lot of work with Leadbwtter who rebuilt his swing - but after that he pretty much went his own way. Anyway Faldo had to do the playing not Leadbwtter - and Leadbwtter built his business off the work with Faldo so he did very well.
shut up u bell end
Faldo under Leadbetter was the most technical golfer of his generation, this video does not compute!?
The poor kids are bored to death.
i dont want to be picky, Nicky, but if you only hit one shot every 5 minutes on the course and average 4 shots a hole, that makes 20 minutes a hole which is 3 holes an hour which is 6 hours a round :)
aside from that, he's talking a lot of sense, but most of them don't seem to be interested - hmm...
All these different ways to hit a golf ball. Overwelming. I just concentrate on one idea to try to hit it solid.
11:45
im with sixtyton angel nick is just confusing those kids , I hope the kids did not have to pay for this so called clinic , what nick should be telling the kids is that it don:t mean a thing if you aint got a SWING .
They have absolutely no idea who they are with, nor do them see to care. He keeps talking about Jack. They have even less idea, or interest in who Jack is!
Sir Nick is trying to get the kids to think for themselves. Mastery doesn’t come from being told what to do but by figuring out how how it is done so you can remake it for yourself. The best chefs practice their recipes for months before putting them on a menu because quality or performance is Knowledge, Practice and Talent. Talent is the least important. Knowledge is the most important. Practice is the only way you can tie it all together.
Someone told me don't know it's true but our skeleton's change 4 times in a life time so how time's does your golf swing change in a liife time 3 times ? or more?😂
At least hold the camera steady dude
He's a good teacher; he understands the inner confusion of a young aspiring golfer growing up with a thousand different ideas fizzing around their brain.
you are gay
Hes got the wrong kids
Prepare ? I don't think nick did a lot to prepare for this lesson he's giving lol... stumbling all over the place and he seems a bit unorganized. I know that's a bit harsh but I just thought i'd throw that out there lol. Great golfer though and really like his commentary and he's very entertaining :)
Just hope he is charging their sad parents a fortune.
It was a free clinic for IJGA students Eamon!
ends it by hitting one
Great player but absolute gibberish from start to finish
Horses for Courses mate (or is that to much giberish?)
kids usually resonate with young golfers they get to see on TV every week. Can you honestly see any kids really engaged? Half of them are looking at the ground bored out of their minds listening to his old war stories.
Great golfer in his prime but he can't teach to save his life and completely unaware he's teaching young kids. "Here kids, important to warm up your wrists, ok when you're young but when you get older..." What? They're probably thinking "'Yeah, thanks grandpa, I'm really interested in these warm up exercises for old people", along with "when is Rory or Spieth coming?".
If those kids are bored listening to europe's most successful golfer ever, then they probably need to go home and get stuck into their iphone. If you think the problem is Nick, then I would suggest that nobody is misunderstanding millenials than you, sir.
The kids who can't appreciate that a once popular PGA Tour professional is speaking to them, aren't going to make it far in the sport anyway.
He was better in Star Wars 2
You're warming for a major not a monthly medal.....get in the real world.
Sir Nick, what drugs are you taking?
"Nick was ripped"? What, like a swimmer you mean? He was all slow-twitch muscle and no speed.
Nick pretty much started all of the fitness in golf. The could run a marathon and not sweat in his prime.
these kids have a golf legend in front of them and they are more interested In their I phones -kids these days are in a total bubble of self importance!
He's hardly doing anything to get their attention, is he?
You're missing the point of the times. The people, this lesson, everything is IN the phone.
Did. Ot learn anyhting. Please talk less and show more.
"great players do not great teachers make"
This was painful to watch
Thanks Yoda.
TheNYgolfer it is terrible instruction. It sounds like he is making it up on the spot! I like Faldo and think he is funny but he is terrible at being a tutor.
LOL,in what way,everything he says is true (as a golf player myself going for scratch,i know he is right)
Cause he's teaching the kids how to play "golf" not how to "hit it great on the range and trackman" - this vid is amazing!
No lesson or tips. Too much wasting by talking .
