Listen to Sir Nick Faldo on the podcast we recorded straight after we finished filming on the course
ruclips.net/video/YDx5MCnhbYI/видео.html
Rick, am I mistaken or were you about one second away from literally jumping in excitement. Making up a golf hole, finishing out with Sir Nick Faldo and an eagle at that your face screamed “HOLY SHIT THAT JUST HAPPENED!”.That’s got to be in the running for a bucket list check mark ✅.
Sir Nick Faldo's tips are worth every bit of time watching commercials in this video. Just wow!
All I can say is WOW! - how on earth did you manage to a) Get a game with sir Nick and b) In Cruden Bay of all places (back end of beyond!!). Once again though, this vid backs up my belief that tour pro's can putt like no-one else
You're being called out here Rick: ruclips.net/video/P4JrKW0RW2Q/видео.html
His 5k subscribers are gurning at it :D
Would you ever do a 18 hole matchplay with a fan
We had a great day, despite the wind, welcoming Sir Nick and Rick to our course. 40 - 45mph wind and Sir Nick is 1 under par! That being said, Rick wasn't too bad either. They were a joy to host both on and off the course. You've a number of new fans here now Rick.
Is that Hugh Livingston on Nick's bag? He caddied for me when I played there three years ago.
This course looks a real treat. Well done!
I just love the fact that Nick was only a slight dick to Rick.
Absolutely beautiful course. Even in March it looks perfect.
Absolutely stunning course
I loved the trash talk from Sir Nick as well as listening to him analyze every shot. Great content, I was smiling and laughing through the whole thing and looks like you both had a great time!
Loved the trash talk to start, then once he knew the match was in the bag he switched to teacher mode
"It'll run away, you just watch" with his Scottish panto on 🤣
It’s amazing how those guys only lose distance as they age. Their games are still top notch
I love Sir Nick's banter as much as his effortless swing.
By now, his swing is baked into his DNA.
Sir Nick seems like an absolute legend of a human. His putting was extraordinary!
“ i tried to miss but.. just didnt happen” 🤣
He is!
This is like hanging out with the world's coolest grandpa. Doesn't even matter what you're doing, fishing, golfing, hunting, etc, some how he's better at it then you are and he hasn't done it in 20+ years. Plus he's got cool stories to tell the whole time.
This is one of my fave vids you’ve done. Sir Nick is a bloody legend, his little tips are gold dust, love him giving you stick too😆. He still has that “Matrix” vision for golf eh, he can just do it.
To think that he used to be criticised for being cold and unfriendly on the Tour. Well, today Sir Nick was just hilarious and warm from start to finish👏👏👏
This video was absolutely brilliant. Watching Sir Nick is what got me into golf and the way he knew just how to play difficult holes in difficult conditions was just awe inspiring.
That was truly awesome. Freezing cold, windy and exposed with many more layers of clothing than Sir Nick would have worn to play golf - probably ever - and he plays like that. Sheer class.
As an American, I can't explain to my fellow golfers how much I love Sir Nick.
His knowledge and TIME spent loving this game feeds my passion for golf!
If ever there was an example that ‘class is permanent’ this is it. Sir Nick Faldo, absolutely legendary.
@MeandMyStaffy Faldo is class, don’t know what your on about.
@@BaitcastingBream Perhaps his infidelities?
I once caddied for Sir Nick back in 83 at Swindon Golf Club. He shot 66, he never played the course before. What a day that was for a young 17 year old. I wonder if he'd still remember me?
Andy Jack is the name.
Sir Nick giving Rick a golf lesson on the third hole (grip) is priceless. Love Sir Nick’s knowledge. Love Rick’s humility. Good lessons for us all.
If theres anyone who cant tell a pro how to grip the club its someone with 6 Majors :)
Nick laid the law down. Only one tip per hole.
Okay this is my favorite video. I'm 13 minutes in and Faldo has great insights on swing techniques and approach, funny as hell, competitive as a prize fighter and talking smack right before your swing. He is a treasure. His shank into the bottom of the cup was over the top!
Rick this is likely the funniest and most enjoyable tutorial/challenge video you’ve put out in a while. Sir Nick is an entertainer like you. Please do a part 2 in Florida!
I think I laughed and emoted my way through 75% of this video. My GOD how lovely is Sir Nick.. honestly I'm so in awe at how cool of a video this is. Think I speak for all of us when I say I'd love to have Sir Nick as a golfing buddy.
This is an ACHIEVEMENT Rick!! Congrats 👏
He seems to know and have thoroughly thought through every aspect of golf with insight whereas categories way below him just don't really understand the game and it's nuances nearly on that level!!
This HAD to be sooooo emotionally special for you, Sir Rick. To play that well with one of the best players in history. I enjoyed this for both of us
To think British tabloids used to refer to him as foldo by not closing on close tourneys.Alas life is cruel .When he finally achieved great major wins he should have found those tabloid authors" excuse me can I put my foot up your ass"?😀😀
That was so fun to watch!
How great was Sir Nick. The greatest golfer England has ever produced, and a great sense of fun to match
Faldo is a true golf master. He sees everything, down to a golfer’s grip.
I am not disagreeing with your first comment, but it doesn't take a master to notice or even analyse a golfer's grip. It's fundamental to the swing and probably the first thing most people notice when asked to look at someone else play golf.
It is just a grip
@@arjanpetersen but the grip effects the plane and feel of a swing making it more right hand dominant.
First thing a pro would notice ! How clean are your clubs .From being around many champion and PGA or Masters winners types as a caddy .They really emphasized clean clubs My opinion if your clubs wernt meticulously clean their opinion of you as a golfer would free fall immediately!!
No wonder Sir Nick was one of the best in the game, He recognizes issues with the swing immediately and he has knowledge of the game coming out of , well you know where.
His arsehole?
@@Stannyhand He knows his shit.
@@nikmak there it is
@@nikmak yes that's what makes these guys and recently said he never counted his chickens ( the mental side plus apparently all kinds of insights!!!)
Videos like this are where you see just how brilliant some of the game's greatest golfers are. So many young golfers just pull out a wedge and throw the ball up in the air and get knocked around. These guys have every shot in the bag and can maneuver around the course and create opportunities. It was great to watch Sir Nick do it. Great video - made me laugh and made me respect Sir Nick more than I already did.
I remember watching a pro play a par 3 with every club in his bag( outside of the wedges and putter) to show the range of shots you can play. Incredible
Where I’m from on the west coast of Ireland, young golfers learn early to keep their shots low. A few windy days on the links dispels any notions of dramatic high approach shots very quickly.
Its how I play the game but I think that's from playing as a kid in the era of soft ballata balls, bladed irons and persimmon woods its how you had to play we didn't have 3 different wedges you had to manufacture shots with difficult equipment after hitting not very long because of traditional lofts and the ball not travelling very far.....it was a different game...when I had lessons even as young as 9 the pro had me shaping shots and changing trajectory because back then thats what you did....
I always have a big smile on my face when I watch any golf videos featuring big stars like Sir Nick Faldo.
Sir Nick Faldo is one of my all-time favorite golfers. I always admired his game and his mental toughness!
His 1996 final round at the Masters was a master class in efficient, mistake free golf. While Greg Norman was self-destructing, he was just cool, calm, calculating and ruthless!
Couldn't agree more. Sir Nick's final round was one of the best and most focused rounds I have ever seen.
the most intelligent round of golf I've ever seen
yup and the aussie media were total jerks about it. sir nick is a class act and norman has turned out to be a grade a knob
Yep..he took Norman apart in that final round.
@@johnmull59 absolutely. I just watched that round the other day and he was a real shark. Dead eyed killer while Norman collapsed around him. One of the great underrated rounds - fantastic 67
This is one of my favorite videos on RUclips, period. Absolutely fantastic. This is the definition of uplifting for so many of us weekend golfers. Thank you so much, Sir Nick and Sir Rick.
This was one of the best yet. Love Nick and good to see him still having fun and killing it on the links. Seems like he's still just a really cool guy to hang around.
Love Nick Faldo. The dude's essence and sense of humor are unbeatable. I've listened and relistened to golf broadcasts when he's announcing, and the way he speaks, describes things, and articulates them, is so unique, so engaging, and pure gold to listen to. Dude's a legend...in many respects.
this is something I've been watching and listening to so much recently, mostly in awe. The way the old school tour players play their way round courses and see shots. Sir Nick here, Tiger on the Taylormade videos. Their knowledge is just so far above players these days I feel who rely on tech too much. Sooooo fascinating
New found respect for Sir Nick Faldo. Already liked him as commentary on our golf coverage on NBC, but to hear his thought process on shots, hear his advice and watch a competent player put that advice into action shows what he knows... That was a VERY fun video Rick.
Yep, if Sir Nick is commentating you know it’ll be fun to watch.
I like how his advice is basic, nothing fancy, no over thinking
So good to see Nick taking time to extend Rick’s career with grip tips. Brilliant video gentlemen.
What a absolute privilege you had to play a round with a person so humble and forthcoming like Sir Faldo. Hubble down to earth...and showing his true love for the game...this is to be envied by millions....
What an unbelievably amazing opportunity. Imagine Sir Nick Faldo getting the chance to play with Rick Shiels.
This and the podcast were my introductions to this legend as a new golfer. Loved it, what a guy!
You're doing special here Rick, really doing something for the sport of golf.
Thank you.
Diving in to the history and the historic players is the best thing about picking up a new sport! Enjoy mate
Same for me! I knew his face but nothing about him, what a character he is. Wish there were a few modern guys like him.
@@garythespark6295 was known to be very competitive, to the point of trying to intimidate and "alpha" his playing partner, he has a wonky reputation amongst some. Personally I love him and always have, he was terrific!
@@QenaitheCustodianGuard sure he's even doing it a bit to aul Rick here! I love seeing a competitor
@@RobJaskula same here, I love it!
I love that he was so happy to spend the time almost doing some coaching. Can tell how much he loves it.
it’s got to be an awesome feeling as a life long golf fan to play with a legend! Congrats!!!!
Just goes to show just how good he is still. Great video. That’s a day for the long term memory, especially on a cold winters day when the course is closed you can just sit back and remember the day you played golf with a legend of the game.
Holy cow, Rick. I'm blown away by the talent you can command on your channel now. Well done!!
I wish this had been much longer, having played Cruden with my son in March in a similar wind. This was awesome. More please!
Cruden bay in march......a recipe for hypothermia.
This could be my favourite video of yours yet. Quality course with great visuals. Useful tips and commentary which is just part of natural conversation and Sir Nick was just class.
That last shot from Sir Nick was simply amazing!! The way he just talked through the wind the distance what he needed to hit etc. And to put it together with the shot. 👌
How did he work out that yardage and the degree of slope?
@@AlanMcCarthyguitar rangefinder
It was dynamite shot from true top notch pro !!
This has to be one of your best golf videos. Sir Nick did his awesome show, but you where up to the task and delivered. Emotion, fun and golf class all in one. It saddens me that I really don't know how you'll ever top this. Thanks Rick!
The clubhouse conversation with Nick might have won it for me. The genuine enthusiasm he had for seeing a bunch of golf balls and wanting to go hit them resonated so strongly with me.
With Greg Norman as my idol I wasn't the biggest fan of Faldo growing up but looking back now, listening to Nick's commentary on the PGA tour and then this video I really was lucky to have watched one of the greatest competitors of all time. This vid was a beauty!!!!
Rick, as someone who has watched your channel forever, it's so cool to see you playing golf with an absolute legend like this. Good on you, man!
Everything about this video screams "CLASS" !! Sir Nick is as genuine as they come. I've said this before Rick, I am very thankful that you bring this content to the world. Getting to know the all time greats in this way has been a blessing.
HOLY CRAP! SIR NICK - one of my favorite golfers of all time. Respect!!!
Rick your gesture close to the camera trying to talk to us is really good as this makes us viewers also part of the game😊
This is fantastic: I watched the first two holes and Rick did well, plus it was clear why Nick Faldo is "Sir" Nick Faldo. This is a friendly match between two Englishmen on a gale blown links course. Moreover, it's cold enough to frostbite your toes; yet these two guys manage a subtle, light-hearted banter that slides right into the stream of play like a fish going from one thermal to another. Good golf, good cheer, good surroundings. This video is such a Rick Shiels Classic Vlog that I'm going to wait a few hours to finish it because I want to savor what I just saw: two unscripted, but perfect holes.
Great video Rick,picked a couple of brilliant tips that have really helped my game ⛳🏌️👌
I was Born in the 70s so Sir Nick was and is a proper legend for me watched him win most of his majors on a rented tv in the 80s and 90s! Amazing to see him on your channel! Make sure you get over and take him up on his offer in the states!
1996 Masters final round was one of the best rounds of golf I have ever seen. It was a display of course management and a ball striking clinic. Pure joy to watch and what a memorable day.
11 shot turn around with Greg in 18 holes 😮😮😮😮it was unbelievable eh to this day ⛳️⛳️👍👍
I played Muirfield in 2015, the site of two of Nick's Open victories. Probably the highlight was I got to stay in the Nick Faldo Suite at Greywalls where Nick stays whenever he's in the Gullane area. Nick is a phenomenal teacher. His knowledge of the game is awesome.
When I got into golf many, many years ago, this is the man I followed. He was, and still is, my favorite golfer of all time! Thanks Rick for introducing him to another generation of golfers. Thanks Sir Nick for being a long distance mentor to many of us.
@Leon Widdicombe depends which player you were cheering for🤣😂😂
He was so unpopular with his peers that he had almost no friends on tour and his Ryder Cup captaincy was amongst the greatest ever fist-biting embarrassments in media history. But he's your favourite golfer of all time ... OK ...
@Leon Widdicombe I'm very well thank you. Why do you ask?
Bubba Watson is my favorite player. He was also voted the player on tour the pros would least likely help if he got in a bar fight. I think he’s a great competitor and does things his own way. Faldo was legendary and won majors and gained respect for winning.
Sir Nick, what a player he was, never the longest hitter but he could put a score together in the big tournaments, just a winner, my mate Roy's all time favourite golfer.
I remember an interview once where Sir Nick spoke about his golfing prime. They would work out their yardages to the decimal. For instance, he wouldn't try to hit it 185 or 186. He would try to hit it 185.7. That's how dialed in he was.
Faldo is hugely undervalued and under appreciated in the UK. We just don’t like winners that much. We prefer a glorious loser. Faldo was an out and out winner
This was probably one of my favorite matches you played with anyone. I just wish we could've seen 6 or 9 holes on a better weather day. Rick, maybe you'll have to make a trip to Montana or Florida to play Sir Nick Flado? I'm sure your fans would love to see it. Keep up the great work, that you're doing to entertain us all, and keep just enjoying life. Cheers!
Btw, I'm not really wanting a rematch, to see you win, Rick. I just Find Sir Nick so insightful.
Just mesmerising to watch, every piece of advice he gives is priceless.
I have not tried to play golf since I was a kid and funnily enough I went to Myerscough junior golf academy where I believe you studied for a few year Rick?
I've only very recently found your channel and you've really inspired me to just give it another go 20 years on.
Do you have any videos on clubs for newbies?
This was the best start for a Saturday. Thank you Sir Nick Faldo and Rick Shields for that a absolutely amazing video, all the best to you!!!
One of my favourite Rick Shields videos. Sir Nick so understated about his own game and the simple advice he gave. The explanation and consequence of a weak grip was almost a throwaway line, but the first time I really understood why it’s such a problem. No wonder the Americans love him on their line up. Brilliant stuff, thank you both👍
What a guy! Imagine playing a round with this legend. Seems like one of the lads
This video makes me smile. So much fun to listen to two classy people play in a beautiful venue.
Excellent video. Nick Faldo is one of the greatest golfers of all time and can still get it done. I really appreciated the opportunity to watch the exhibition of golf that you two provided us with on a cold, blustery day that would not have found me more than a short putt away from my warm fireplace.
Really enjoyed this video. Great scalp Rick! Certainly dispelled a few stories I'd previously heard that Sir Nick wasn't always the friendliest or easiest person to get along with. Much kudos to him for taking the time out to bring this awesome content to us.
Nick Faldo is just a legend!! The knowledge he must have on how to hit any shot must be like an encyclopedia!!
Never commented on one of your videos before. I used to play properly when I was 14-18 (member at a very nice club, handicap and all that jazz), then kind of left the game and only played once or twice in a year for the next 15 years. Watching you and Faldo here has made me message my old man and organise a day on the course again. Need my clubs re-gipped first, the rubber has gone.
Great stuff and thanks for the inspiring content.
Sir Nick, absolute legend! I love that even a 3 time masters champion is self deprecating enough to feel the need to make excuses before the first tee. There is hope for us all. Great video as always, keep up the fantastic work!
A step back to the great days, on my favourite course. Could watch the legend that is Sir Nick playing golf for ever. Just about every good shot I ever played was down to learning from his coaching videos (remember actual video tapes…) Thanks for a super video Rick.
Talking about practice, I remember heading out to play Cruden Bay one day and seeing Paul Lawrie practicing bunker shots and chipping near the clubhouse.
18 holes later, windswept and knackered, as we headed back to the clubhouse, Mr Lawrie was still there practicing. No wonder he was ready for Carnoustie.
Wow great story. I wonder if Van De Velde practiced a few more layup shots if he would have hung on :) That is still one of my favourite golf moments. I still cringe every time I watch it.
I love the genuine fun and awe as you play with your guests. Sir nick was amazing, he was a champ to play in, though he seemed to have a good time as well.
Sir Nick, my favourite player. First tournament I ever watched was the 96 masters. What a legend. Great vid.
That was awesome! Genuine talk and fun from a legend. The course looks AMAZING but there probably aren't too many days the wind isn't humming out there. Thanks Sir Nick and Rick for filming it for us to enjoy! You may have outdone yourself this time Rick!
He’s still an amazing golfer! Imagine him in his prime!
yes, sad memories for us Aussies when he beat the Shark
@@philmoore71 You mean the greedy sack of chum.
I don't have to imagine i remember, i just delve into the memory bank, he really was good to watch, if not to listen to..
Great video Rick please do more like these :0) and what a course , probably one of the most beautiful courses I've ever seen and I've never even heard of it. Beautiful
What a great video. Having a legend of the game is quite hypnotic. You sometimes forget how good they are or were back in the day. Awesome video!
That was class, Sir Nick was my golfing hero growing up. He comes across brilliantly on the course vlog, what a player and what a guy.👍👌🏌♂️😁🏌♂️👏👏👏
Wow, so glad I found this channel. Thank you, what a pleasure to watch the two of you banter, and such a gent is Faldo.
Nick was my favourite golfer back in the day,I don't watch golf much these days,but I loved watching when I was a teenager,and into my 20's.
This has made me want to watch old events on RUclips all over again lol
Sir Nick is an absolute freaking legend. Loved this and loved the podcast. Stoked to see a ‘Plus ten, Pro still wins’ with Faldo.
What an amazing video Rick, Sir Nick what a quality player he still is and I loved the little tips what an honour that must of felt. Keep up the amazing work
My brother and I had the pleasure of walking 18 holes with Sir Nick at Wentworth. We were in awe of him. He was so lovely to us - we were only young and my God what a player. He won the world match play that week and it is an experience we will never forget.
What a joy and privilege to listen and watch Sir Nick and get glimpse into the man’s genius. Such and intelligent golfer ❤️
Never knew much about Sir Nick but now after seeing him here he’s become an all time favorite !! Thanks Rick ! Please do more with golf legends !! Kudos and Bravos to you all at RSG !
Since I knew this video was coming its been the longest week ever and it didn't disappoint. What a course. I hope they keep the Shiels/Faldo par 3 as a hole. Sir Nick 006 is in a class of his own. Hope Faldo comes back for another video and can't wait to see more chippy 90 yard 9 irons.
I have never seen such enjoyable golf in my life thank you Nick & Rick cheers mates
playing with a legend. Awesome to see. Great video, great golf by both of you, fun watch!
Great to see Sir Nick on the course again! Cheers, Mate!
What a guy! I didn’t think I could like him even more after listening to the podcast!
Great putting from Nick and the best i've seen you putt for a while! Nice to see the Pro's in these videos as you see how normal and fun they really are.
Absolutely fantastic. Sir Nick comes across the type of guy you’d love to play golf with, a true Everyman. Well done. Wanted more, more more. Keep up the good work Rick. Cheers from Canada.
This brought a huge smile to my face. Well done gentlemen 😀
Loved it!
Great video. Brilliant to see Nick having a bit of fun and enjoying a bit of chat with some insights thrown in too. Loved watching him growing up - tremendous golfer.
There aren’t many things I love in sport, more than seeing a retired retired pro still playing the sport that served them well at the top of their game…purely because they still have the same love and passion for it as they ever did. It reveals the little kid in is still in them, that got them loving the sport in the first place.
Faldo was my hero growing up. As a 15 year old kid in 1989 I loved watching him win the Maters for the first time, especially after it looked like he was going to lose. When Scott Hoch missed the 2 foot putt in the playoff I went nuts.
@andy hodgson...snap. Same age and same favourite player
For those people too young to have seen Faldo win majors, he was the absolute king of controlling the controllables. He wasn't flash, but he didn't waste shots. Kept it straight, and had an aura. Tigers era sort of swept away the old guard, but Faldo was the king of Ryder Cup 1979 to 1997. Great longevity and a superstar
I remember his win at Muirfield. IIRC it was 18 straight pars in the final round. He'd had a lot of grief from the press and in his speech at the presentation he said "I thank the press from the heart of my bottom." So many man-points were gained by him on that day.
@John Anthony yep...remember it well. The British Press hate a winner who doesn't play ball with them. No wonder he spends most of his time in the US
Yeah he was the Glen McGrath of golf. Irresistibly consistent
I re lived the last 10 holes of the 1996 Masters where Nick of course won, then stumbled on this. He's still got it! I wish you guys played more holes but that was a great watch; felt the cold coming through the tv screen.
How awesome is this. A legend of the game Sir Nick Faldo. Thank you.
Amazing! I loved Sir Nick’s banter. He is a class act, and his putting is incredible. Great video Rick.
What a champ! I think one of your best guests yet 🍻
Absolutely love watching and listening to Sir Nick.
Legend of the game and absolute gent
Thank you Sir Nick! Exactly why we love it when you commentate… All that knowledge and you’re able to communicate effortlessly.
Absolutely unbelievable how he hits that so perfect every single time 😂 it’s like a ball on a string
Sir Nick is such a likeable bloke, his humor is off the charts. And he still hasn't lost his championship form. Some of those shots were amazing.
They were great shots he has lost 15 yards( my conjecture) but still hits very crisp!!
Just love Nick Faldo a proper legend and such a funny dude. Would love a round with him 😁
Great exhibition and thank Sir Nick for mentioning my favorite all time player, Mr. Gary Player when he needed the putt for the win!. Keep making these golf videos Rick, you have helped so many of us average Joes that love the game. God Bless You both, Bill M. from Connecticut
Absolutely loved this one Rick, enjoyed seeing a light hearted side of Sir Nick. Great content!
