Well done Nick. Saw you twice in person. Ultimate professional. One of my favorites growing up along with Seve. You done good 👍 Sir Nick

He never looked at the crowd. I followed Nick around in Virginia in 1990. It was a small crowd. His eyes stayed forward with no interaction with the gallery. The concentration paid off. His iron game was incredible. The approach shots always dropped in close to the pin. You knew he was a master at his game because no one could consistently land so close to the pin.

Bloody brilliant. Faldo is a great guy. Well done Sir.
-
Great interview! You really got a lot out of Nick. I grew up watching him winning green jackets, listening to Peter Alliss and loving every moment. Thanks.
-
Great interview. I'm a big fan of Nick and it was a delight to see his golf journey. Also, Joe was the best interviewer I've ever seen.
-

Brilliant in depth look at the man, Sir Nick Faldo. Far too often the tabloids just look at the moment, never concentrating on what it took to get you there for that moment.
-
What fantastic memories!!!
-
Six lessons, from day one. There you have it.
-
What a great watch
-
I just love these interviews!
-
40:01 - Joe, please let your guests finish their thoughts.
-
I did not like Faldo when he played but love him now
-
Great interview. Wow, that is cool, especially his thoughts about setting goals and being in the present.
-
Gr8 interview. It was normal then to have parents who did not show emotion. At the time it was normal, only as we grow into the future we realise how much we missed.
-
Simply one of the best golfers of all time not just from England 🏴👍👍
-
Brilliant.
-
Being British, I totally understand his family upbringing and not being close with the family. That, coupled with his laser vision on the course made him very misunderstood. That was his way of being successful even if he wasn’t well liked. The British tabloids should be ashamed of how they treated him and others.
-
Fantastic interview. Only one lost opportunity: when Faldo started talking about his father's emotional distance, Buck abruptly pivoted to a different topic. I thought he could have explored that topic a bit more.
-
His match with Rick Shiels is great! Must see.
