EP122 - Sir Nick Faldo 

Best one yet guys. I could listen to Sir Nick all day talking golf and not get bored, absolute legend

This beats anything you have done before - Sir Nick brings knowledge, history, humour & the time flew by - brilliant!

"6 years from picking up a club I played him and I beat him. So how about that?" Love it! Great interview lads 👏🏼

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.

Could have listened to Sir Nick for another 5 hours. Best podcast yet, can't wait to see the video on course with him.

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

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...

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.

Sir Nick is so different now than when he was competing. Genuinely one of the funniest person in golf.

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.

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 ;-)

This should be mainstream TV best and fun interview I can remember well done you 2

Brilliant edition. Like many others have said I could listen to him all day and not get bored. My favourite all time golfer.

Nick Faldo was an absolute machine. Tremendous mental game . Overhauled his swing mid-career

Absolutely loved this. Faldo was my favourite golfer and this has just cemented him at the top.

I'm 42 yrs old have been a casual golf fan since a kid and I've never quite liked Sir Nick Faldo when younger, probably due to press but this interview and 9 hole has absolutely changed my mind. What an absolute top guy. Hats off to him how well he's done for himself 👏

Gotta love a local lad lol Faldo always a true pro and you can tell he would sit there and talk golf all day

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.

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

For me, the best podcast you’ve ever done. Faldo was such a brilliant guest, so interesting. Well done both, beautifully done.

This is a most inciteful interview showing Faldo is not just a voice on TV to a lot of younger golfers that never saw him play. Excellent interview.

Guy, Rick truly outstanding! Sir Nick is amazing, just loved listening to him, what a legend!

Fantastic. Who doesn't like listening to Sir Nick? 👏🏻

Sir Nick should be treated like a national treasure what a player .what a guy

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.

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 🏌️‍♂️⛳️👍

Interviews like this are why this is the best golf chanel. Sir Nick was relaxed, your questions were insightful, resepectful but not obsequious. I think he appreciated ths and seemed to enjoy it himeself.

I really enjoyed this. Just a relaxed chat with a god of golf.

Without a doubt one of the best episodes! So much knowledge and I love how he remembered everything! Very good questions! Amazing how you guys put him into right mood so he can unload everything! Amazing job guys! Keep the amazing guests!

Absolutely brilliant boys, one of the best ever interviews!! Faldo is a great story teller.

Listened to this twice. Faldo is a genuine legend. Loved the interview. Look forward to seeing you at Faldo ranch driving range hitting his old clubs

Fantastic interview. A great job in letting the conversation flow. I love listening to sir Nick. Many thanks

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.

Best interview to date, and zero offense to all of the other great ones! So awesome to see Sir Nick Faldo in just a mellow, easy going conversation! Love it!

Always been a Faldo fan.. watching him and fanny, they was untouchable… like him even more now!!!… well done guys!!!

That was superb, one of the best interviews i have seen. Thank you guys.

The best yet!!!! So full of gems, he was so generous with his stories, so relaxed. Loved this one so much

I could listen to Sir Nick all day, and I am someone who wouldn't have even thought about playing just over a year ago.

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.

Loved it!!! What a treat for you to have that opportunity to interview one of the greats and for Sir Nick to spend that much time with you guys. One of you best for sure!!

Absolutely brilliant. Such a relaxed and open interview. Took me back to the 1980s and 90s. Well done!

Incredible! So much respect for Sir Nick. Great discussion to watch, I can only imagine how it felt for the two of you.

Absolutely brilliant - dropped Sir Nick home once - wow what a golf room full of memorabilia and two drum kits 👍 had a lovely red 911 in his newly built garage and one piece of felt fell on it he went mad - absolute perfectionist - that was back in the 80s - played at Frilford Heath and Staunton Sands with him - amazing ball striker every one pured! Great video chaps👍

A brilliant conversation with an absolute legend. Thank you to everyone involved. - Mark

One of the best interviews i've seen, so insightful and open, could have watched another hour or two!

What an incredible interview, Sir Nick was one of my favourite golfers to watch and he seems like a genuine nice bloke.

Amazing interview. He has an amazing knowledge of golf and is just fun watching him talk. Well done guys.

Soooooo good! I have watched it 2 times, and want to see it now for the 3rd time. But have to save it for tomorrow. You guys brought out the best of Nick. Fantastic work!!

Great show, this is by far my favorite of the interviews I have seen on show.

Absolutely fantastic podcast, Sir Nick is my favourite golfer to go back and binge watch and I love his commentary! Really awesome guys!

Brilliant jobs guys. Fascinating to get a glimpse at the genius of Mr Faldo.

Absolute best interview I've seen. Great job guys. Nothing but respect for Sir Nick.

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!

Well done! This i s superb.... I have never heard or seen Sir Nick so relaxed and open. This is because you both put him at ease and you could sense that he was not 'on his guard'. Light and interesting.

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👌🍻

Absolutely fantastic interview! One of my favorites so far!

This is by far the best one yet- amazing insights and so cool to listen to Sir Nick. Loved the masters chat!!

Best interview yet by a country mile..thanks to Sir Nick..great to see him relaxed and talk openly...legend..class👍🇬🇧⛳️🏌🏼‍♂️

Fantastic interview that I’ll watch again and again. Thanks guys.

That had to be the best Podcast I've ever watched in my entire life. Not only the best Rick Shiels Podcast but the best ever. I honestly wish that went on for another 3 hours, just listening to Sir Nick Faldo talk was amazing. Truly class act, great job.

Wow loved it. I could listen to Sir Nick and yourselves all day. Fascinating, interesting and brilliant.

Thanks Rick! Sir Nick was always one of my favorites. Good to see him again.

The best so far gents. Sir Nick was the reason I took up golf when I was a kid. My dad got me hooked on the masters because of Sir Nick. Still my favourite golfer ever. Keep them coming Rick.

Absolutely brilliant! Sir Nick was my golfing idol growing up and an inspiration to me! His views and stories I can relate to! Bring on more of the same!!!!

Rick, this is by far one of your best interviews. Sir Nick is a very humble gent. I have always admired his play and watching him when he played and now as one of the best analysts on TV.

Absolutely brilliant podcast, and the coverage of what happened on the course maybe even better! This guy is just so absorbing when you hear him talking golf or giving tuition, could listen to him all day. Love the bit about feeling like, "yes, I've found the secret! I've got golf sorted!" - and then it all goes to pieces on the next outing! I think all of us, whatever level, has experienced that feeling about our own game. Bloody golf! Keep up the good work guys, look forward to more content.

What a great show! Loved listening to Sir Nick Faldo’s stories!

Brilliant interview with an absolute legend. He was always my favourite player and I loved watching him play.

Great to hear from Sir Nick

What a belter !!!!!! You really got the best out of Sir Nick , fascinating from start to finish.

A British Legend ...what a top bloke Sir Nick is !!!

What an insight into arguably the last old school champion. Absolute golf gold. Well done.

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.

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.

Brilliant interview. Always been one of my hero’s sir Nick.

Absolutely the best interview ever. Faldo is great and I am so glad you guys let him talk as much as he did. He is the real deal!

GREAT Interview!!!! Fun and interesting!! Well done to all 3 of you!

Brilliant, what a guy, he is so accommodating and humble about his career. Love it . Well done both.

Another one piped down the middle! Great interview! Sir Nick is such a joy to listen to. We’ll done, once again you both continue to elevate your podcast game by bringing on one of the greatest golfers of all time! Look forward to seeing the on course videos.

This is a whole new level of brilliant. Faldo is such a legend!

Great stuff. Great interview. Sir Nick is a legend. Love the golf especially considering the weather. Well done, Rick.

Great golfer, so strong mentally. Love listening to his commentary.

Unbelievable interview!! LOVE this. Great job guys!!

Absolutely awesome, fantastic interview thank you 🙏

Peter Allis and Sir Nick are the voices of golf for me! While we don't have the late, great Peter with us anymore Sir Nick has made the adjustment of not hearing him anymore that bit easier. Loved this Pod guys 👍

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.

What a superb interview with Sir Nick, this interview shows a different side of him and the wisdom he has and knowledge he has is brilliant. Think this is one of the best interviews I seen and really congrats on you both for getting a legend of the game to give up him time and talk about the great game we all love. Sir Nick i always thought he was up himself but after listing to him over the last hour change my mind a lot.

Wow, just wow. You guys and a very relaxed Sir Nick. Best interview with the man I have ever watched. Thank you.

Brilliant interview. Such a great bloke, can't wait for the course vlog!

That was amazing. Many thanks Rick, the content you’re producing is of incredible quality. Sir Nick is a lovely guy.

Listened to this in the car the other day; was laughing and smiling throughout - simply an excellent interview. Sir Nick is a legend. Watching it again to see your reactions to the big answers.

I am so loving these interviews. The relaxed environments and the way the scene is set enables the pro's to be quite humble. Top stuff gents 👏

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.

Absolutely brilliant, well done fellas to get. Sir Nick 👍👍👍👏👏

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!

That was great, thank you all. Sir Nick, a true champion.

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

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.👏
