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
Absolutely fantastic podcast, Sir Nick is my favourite golfer to go back and binge watch and I love his commentary! Really awesome guys!
Absolutely loved this, best one yet! I was inspired to take up golf at 13 after watching Sir Nick win The Open at Muirfield. Faldo’s Farm has to happen, surely. Come on Netflix!
Such a great interview with a guy who doesn’t necessarily relax in this situation. Brilliant
Absolutely brilliant podcast,I've played cruden bay but some 25 years ago. You guys were talking to sir Nick as though he was an old friend. Brilliant 👍👍
I'm a big Faldo fan but even then I didn't appreciate how he went from never having played golf to beating Jack in the Ryder cup within six years. It doesn't seem real! Absolute hero.
Absolutely fantastic interview! One of my favorites so far!
Terrific podcast guys. Worth a 2nd or 3rd listen given how much ground was covered.
Great insight of a legend 👏🏾👏🏾✌🏼
Great show mates! Sir Nick is pure class.
love it.. best one out of a lot of good episodes
Great pod, very informative 😊
Nick Faldo.
Keep it simple stupid, learn and have a laugh on the way ❤️
Your best show ever Rick!
Outstanding 👍
Class video guys, think that was your best!
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.
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 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.
"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!
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)...
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.
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...
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
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 TH-cam and not everyone has Golf Channel. So, TH-cam is better…
@@lawbinson What if clips of the show ended up on TH-cam too? Just like Conan, Kimmel, and Fallon all are.. crazy right
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
I really enjoyed this. Just a relaxed chat with a god of golf.
You guys are just smashing it with thease podcasts! Think its tiger next isn't it ??😉
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.
For me, the best podcast you’ve ever done. Faldo was such a brilliant guest, so interesting. Well done both, beautifully done.
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.
Brilliant edition. Like many others have said I could listen to him all day and not get bored. My favourite all time golfer.
Absolutely loved this. Faldo was my favourite golfer and this has just cemented him at the top.
Sir Nick should be treated like a national treasure what a player .what a guy
Always been a Faldo fan.. watching him and fanny, they was untouchable… like him even more now!!!… well done guys!!!
In Soccer Coaching Theory (Football to the rest of the world), the coaching theory breaks it down to 4 pillars: Technical, Tactical, Physical and Psychological. Great players excel in all 4 categories - same goes for any sport/activity. Rating players and troubleshooting players to create an improvement program would assess them in all for categories and frmo there the player can gain huge awareness of theomself and truly improve.
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.
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!
Is it just me or does nick seem like a character out of a bond film?
Yeah.....Bond. Lol
enjoyed ----- its pity some had a go at Nick; he has to me always come across as a 'ordinary' man who could do the un-ordinary when it came to Golf --- a great example of where hard dedicated work will get you.
Epic what a legend 👌
On a different note how cool would it be to do the same thing with B Langer thst dude is another legend and still ripping it up on tour
Rarely gets mentioned one if my personal greats that I grew up watching on the tele box as well as Faldo 👌👌 miss the days of golf on normal tele the open on all day every day with Peter alliss and Alex hay fantastic
Great podcast Rick! Just small note, Cruden bay is in Aberdeenshire not Aberdeen .
I wish you'd asked him about his caddy Fanny. I used to love watching the two of them. Wonder where she is now.
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
Love your videos, but please hire a sound person to show you how to avoid plosives and get better sound.
Just discovered I was born the day after nick won at st Andrew’s
mentally i now know how he got the shark - i watched it live and this guys just got it
Guy, Rick truly outstanding! Sir Nick is amazing, just loved listening to him, what a legend!
Thank you!
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.
Nick Faldo was an absolute machine. Tremendous mental game . Overhauled his swing mid-career
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
At his prime Sir Nick was berated by the British press for his attitude and demeanour, that is why Nick and Seve are/were my favourite golfers, the fact is that he is the best golfer this nation has ever produced. I could listen to many many more podcasts with Sir Nick this was fascinating and the time just flew by. A national treasure.
Spot on, the British press hate a winner and he was just that.
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
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 WOULD DEFINITELY WATCH “Nick Faldos Farm”!!!! What wou”d be more relaxing than hearing good old Sir NIck get up early and narrating himself to go feed the cows! Pure gold!!!
Gotta love a local lad lol Faldo always a true pro and you can tell he would sit there and talk golf all day
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
WoW Rick that might just be the best golf interview I've ever heard. Great stuff. Faldo talking smack at the end is priceless!
Great to hear from Sir Nick
Great golfer, so strong mentally. Love listening to his commentary.
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.
Amazing interview. He has an amazing knowledge of golf and is just fun watching him talk. Well done guys.
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.
Brilliant podcast. I'd argue that though he said Jack he also said that there were only 6-10 golfers who were above everyone back then.Majors are the same as any other 72 hole tournament, the yard stick would be if they played in each others era. Can't see what areas Jack beats Tiger, especially given the standard now.
Not sure I agree with your conclusion here. Jack, I would say, was a better driver of the ball and a better long iron player. Tiger probably shades short iron play and is definitely better out of sand. Not much to choose between them on the greens. Also it's so difficult to compare different eras. Club and ball construction means you can't compare like with like. It would have been interesting to see what Tiger made of persimmon heads and stock shafts.
@@christophercoleman857 agreed its time specific. However, standards werent as high, i believe many players since Jack would have been better than Jack not jus Tiger. 7000yrd plus courses puts driving back in Tigers hands. There are very few cases where people of the past remain the greatest as the sport evolves and improves because of them. Tiger won't remain the greatest either given enough time.
The problem is that it is hard to compare era’s. Nick was being a little economical saying only a dozen good strikers of a ball when he played.
Jack’s record of bringing his game to the majors is unparalleled, the wins, runners up, top ten etc. equipment was not geared and fine tuned as it is now, plus equipment gains have meant those 300+ yards are common and players are hitting greens with 8-PW yet not peppering the pin as he mentioned about proximity to the pin.
Even good amateurs today exceed pros from 30+ years ago, we used to joke their ball was still rising while ours had landed.
I like both tiger and Jack, but JN for me is the no1. Tiger has come back from the negativity around his personal life, the press were not slow to sharpen the knives then.
I would
Love it if Rick could get Tiger and ask him how the hell did he manage to block the mob that followed him everywhere on a course, to even play half decent golf never mind win?
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.
Great job again with the pod. Starting to almost enjoy these more than then main channels. Just did a few vids on the masters and learned a bit about Nick Faldo for the first time. Wish I saw this first hahaha
Best interview yet by a country mile..thanks to Sir Nick..great to see him relaxed and talk openly...legend..class👍🇬🇧⛳️🏌🏼♂️
Hands down the best podcast, I'd love watching Sir Nick when I was kid
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👌🍻
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.
Here after the match W Sir Faldo. He’s such a genuine and funny person!!! Great show. Subscribed ✅
Best one yet. Never really thought I liked Faldo. Interview was absolutely class.
Plenty more like this please!!!
Try and interview Jimenez soon.
That would be absolutely class.
Great show, this is by far my favorite of the interviews I have seen on show.
Awesome dude!!! Great golfer!!!! Amazing stories!!! You guys don't suck!! :P Love the post....Keep it up guys!!
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.
Wicked boys. 👍👌 firts comment. Lol This podcast could have been 10 hours filled with all of the stories from Sir Nick. Sounds like a great guy. Great to listen to.
This is by far the best one yet- amazing insights and so cool to listen to Sir Nick. Loved the masters chat!!
Great interview. Would love to hear him talk about Ryder Cup rivalries, War at the Shore etc
And, BTW, Jack includes US Amateurs, so in Jack's mind it's 20-18. In Jack's own words, it was the highest level at that level, so if you count Jr. Amateurs, but because they are Jr., a half point, 20-19.5.
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. Just such a great interview. Congratulations! Amazingly enjoyable.
Wow, talking of feel and individual degrees of swing path… legend. I recall seeing sir Nick for the very first time in the early 80’s at Woburn when I was a boy… he hasn’t changed !!
Sir Nick: "...when you're a beginner, you're frustrated and when you're the best in the world, you're still frustrated, you know?"
Rick: "No."
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 🏌️♂️⛳️👍
In the voice of Ivor Robson.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is game number 23...on the tee representing Bride Hall Associates...Mr. Nick Faldo"
Great stuff. Great interview. Sir Nick is a legend. Love the golf especially considering the weather. Well done, Rick.
From Australia....
Just listened about firing a rock to cook your steak..
"Click Click BOOM!" 😂
Greatest golf interview hands down 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥 you guys knocked it out of the park!! Your best show ever. Sir Nick is a legend!! The Goat !!
So enjoyable to listen to after watching the 4-hole competition. Unbelievable golf! Thank you. Can't imagine what Sir Nick had to pay with you....kidding!
This guy transformed himself from a laughing stock into the toughest competitor of the 80s/90s era. His final round at the 1990 Masters is the definition of determination.
You could add the final round at the ‘96 Masters and his last open at Muirfield to that list. Some of the best iron shots under pressure ever hit are in those rounds, eg 2 iron into 13th in ‘96 and the 3 iron into 18th at Muirfield in ‘92 (amongst others).
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.👏
What an absolute legend, fabulous podcast lads.
Superb. How about Greg Norman? He would be an interesting chap to interview. He absolutely loves talking, particularly about himself.
WOW..... BLOODY BRILLIANT, AMAZING, UNREAL BOYS 😄😄😃😃 KIND REGARDS BEN FROM NZ
Wow, the world of top level golf is like another universe to 99.99999% of mortal golfers 🏌🏼♂️. Brilliant video! Sir Nick..legend!
Nick Faldo and Jack Nicklaus each won the Open on the same courses: Murfield and St. Andrews. The two Open golf courses that have always produced the best champions.
Got this Hollywood script. Kid from the hood picks up clubs age 14 and plays Ryder Cup at 20. Yeah, right. And beats Jack! Ok, ok, does he win Wimbledon too?
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!!
