I agree. I think it’s a combination of his vast knowledge and experience and also his calming voice.

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.

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

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.
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
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 ;-)

Gotta love a local lad lol Faldo always a true pro and you can tell he would sit there and talk golf all day
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
For me, the best podcast you’ve ever done. Faldo was such a brilliant guest, so interesting. Well done both, beautifully done.
Absolutely loved this. Faldo was my favourite golfer and this has just cemented him at the top.
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
Sir Nick should be treated like a national treasure what a player .what a guy
Fantastic. Who doesn't like listening to Sir Nick? 👏🏻
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
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 🏌️♂️⛳️👍
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.
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.
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!
I really enjoyed this. Just a relaxed chat with a god of golf.
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.
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 👏
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.
Guy, Rick truly outstanding! Sir Nick is amazing, just loved listening to him, what a legend!

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
What an insight into arguably the last old school champion. Absolute golf gold. Well done.
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
A British Legend ...what a top bloke Sir Nick is !!!
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.
Fantastic this ,Faldo alongside Ballesteros were my heroes growing up.
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.
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👍
I don't watch many long KZread videos but this one I couldn't stop watching. Hour plus? Seemed about 20 minutes and I could have watched another two hours. Thanks Rick.
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 👍
Brilliant jobs guys. Fascinating to get a glimpse at the genius of Mr Faldo.
Brill ! well done Rick Shiels Fantastic to hear SNF as a regular guy just enjoying golf chat - and giving some some excellent insights and views - 👏👏
Greatest golf interview hands down 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥 you guys knocked it out of the park!! Your best show ever. Sir Nick is a legend!! The Goat !!
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.
FANTASTIC only down side was it only being 1 hour could of watched all day . So different to what i was expecting him to be like . More of this please
Always been a Faldo fan.. watching him and fanny, they was untouchable… like him even more now!!!… well done guys!!!
Great to hear from Sir Nick
One of if not the best podcast of any type that I've ever listened to. Terrific answers throughout.
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!!
I love Nick Faldo after this interview - such honest perspective and so informative. Thanks for the interview!
Wow, just wow. You guys and a very relaxed Sir Nick. Best interview with the man I have ever watched. Thank you.
WoW Rick that might just be the best golf interview I've ever heard. Great stuff. Faldo talking smack at the end is priceless!
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
What a belter !!!!!! You really got the best out of Sir Nick , fascinating from start to finish.
Great interview Guy and Rick . ...Sir Nick is such a great guest and what an ambassador for golf ⛳️⛳️⛳️
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.

@@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.
This is simply delicious...! FUN to see and ear the REAL Nick Faldo one of the coolest Tour Player I had a chance to meet long ago..! who at the time even if he was one of the most popular player, in private was one of the simplest and funniest guy I met. Exactly like he was with you guys..! I'm sure you know and understand what I'm meaning after your interview...when you are a big golf fans !.. Great Job Guys !..

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.
Absolutely brilliant, well done fellas to get. Sir Nick 👍👍👍👏👏
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 👍
Fabulous your so lucky to do what you do and have people like sir nick Faldo come on your show Well done Rick and guy
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
Absolutely brilliant boys, one of the best ever interviews!! Faldo is a great story teller.
Faldo is one of my favorite golfers ever. Core memories watching him play in the early 90s when I was a small child. Great interview.
some people can talk golf but sir nick can make golf a story worth listening too thanks rick for this
Nick was good to me as a kid in Portmarnock where I was a sea scout collecting the rubbish. Gave me an autograph and a minute of his time. Pure gent
Great interview. Faldo is a gentleman. And he gives great advice.
Brilliant just brilliant , Sir Nick is a national treasure
Best interview yet by a country mile..thanks to Sir Nick..great to see him relaxed and talk openly...legend..class👍🇬🇧⛳️🏌🏼♂️
Superb vlog guys - British, European, World 🐐 for my era, for 81 weeks, Sir Nick Faldo!!!!💪💪💪👍👍👍
Sir Nick is a joy to listen to, please try to get him back for more of his stories about himself and the greats of golf. Best podcast yet by a country mile.
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.
This is a whole new level of brilliant. Faldo is such a legend!
Great golfer, so strong mentally. Love listening to his commentary.
Best one yet , could listen to sir nick talk all day.So knowledgable about golf and what it means to every single person who plays the sport
Hands down the best podcast, I'd love watching Sir Nick when I was kid
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!!!
I could not turn away from this. Brilliant.
I'm 41, I grew up watching sir Nick Faldo on the little TV in the kitchen with my grandad, we loved cheering him on and the reason I picked up the love for the sport from a young age. this was a amazing episode, such a lovely comfortable chat really funny too, I just also want to say "cheese and salad cream sandwiches are awesome but also slices of cucumber raise the game! 😋 Cheese and pickle is standard but can i ask have you tried cornbeef and tomatoe ketchup? It's pretty good. Much love guys, thanks for the content x
To share that knowledge and time what a legend Sir Nick is as you said.. I could see you both were in awe of him.. GREAT podcast guys..🙌🥂
Nick's swing is like water so smooth and he makes it look like it's easy.
Great tv guys. No hurry and all the questions any child would ask. Thank you.
Faldo was my golfing hero growing up and he is a joy to listen to. I loved this guys. Keep the podcasts coming.
What a fabulous podcast! I was enthralled! And a Hertfordshire lad too!
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
8:33 Rick chuckling after sir nick says bbc news is great😂
Fantastic interview, great questions, first class guest. Couldn’t ask for much more than this. Started by listening in while working...ended up holding my phone staring at it at times just wrapped up in the stories.
Faldo and Monty were some of the very best. And they are so full with knowledge & charm & true sportsmanship.
A brilliant conversation with an absolute legend. Thank you to everyone involved. - Mark
Best podcast you have done in my opinion. Sir Nick was great. Britain's and arguably Europe's best ever player. I would have loved it if Rick had ask him about getting down in two from 100 yards to beat Curtis Strange in the Ryder Cup. One of the great pressure situations
What a great episode! Faldo is a class act.
Absolutely fantastic podcast, Sir Nick is my favourite golfer to go back and binge watch and I love his commentary! Really awesome guys!
The beach is fantastic on a beautiful day at St. Andrews, plenty to do there but the golf side of things is magical!
Came over as a great chap. Total legend.
Best podcast yet, guys. I could listen to Faldo for days. We should also remember that the majority of us are only playing golf because of Sir Nick; he was our guy taking on and beating the world and inspired the next generations to get out on the course. Its a brilliant hour of top class listening - well done!
Great interview! So chilled! Get that game on as nick is great tv! What a nice bloke!
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 !!
Great pod, I still have a Nick Faldo Pringle sleeveless cardigan in my wardrobe, one of the very very best
