WEBVTT - Nick Faldo 0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:07.960 Well, I'm joined by my dear friend, Sir Nick Felt, 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.239 one of the great players of our time, and very 0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:15.480 excited to be speaking to him. So it's amazing the 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:20.720 things we remember. And I can remember all my eighteen majors, 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:23.279 nine and nine on both tours. I can remember each 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.760 tournament what swing I was using that week, and they 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:31.000 were all different, most of them. Well that's that's the 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:35.560 art of experimenting, you know, because you know people get 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:39.480 you know, you've got to keep experiment in that game. 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:43.960 You experiment every day. I mean, it's um. I I 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:45.920 was just looking at a tweet when they were saying, 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.120 well I was experiments and filling with my swing. You know, 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.400 should it? Should it? I love that line when they said, well, 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.720 shouldn't he just do what he's doing naturally? I love 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.160 that to Sam Sneed said, I hit ten million balls 0:00:56.200 --> 0:01:02.280 to make my swing look natural. I mean, that's that's 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:06.240 a that's a great thing. That's a great I've trying 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.560 to come up with some wisdom and I thought, I said, 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:12.640 I came up with this morning. If if when man 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:17.000 learned to stand up and walk, he said, that's good enough. 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:22.319 Where would mankind be? Now? Yeah, that's my wisdom because 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:26.319 if we don't keep striving and and and the beauty 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.679 of our game. And I've been I think I'm blessed 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.600 because I bet you're the same. I know you're the same. 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.280 Even tomorrow, when you tip a bag of balls out, 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.960 You'll be excited, won't you. Yeah, I can't wait. Isn't 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.880 amazing We've been tipping a bag of balls out now 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.760 for a month. C I've been playing this game for 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.480 fifty years. Now, fifty years is coming up. I was 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.520 inspired so fifty years ago I watched television at the 0:01:54.560 --> 0:02:00.440 Master's when Coody one Charles Jack was obviously the all 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.120 the attention. I'm on the BBC, So fifty years ago, 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:11.320 I was inspired two play golf, try golf. And I know, 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.640 I think the greatest thing is I've never been bored. 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:19.000 And I've never said ever she should got to go 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:24.680 to hit balls tomorrow? Never never, And I know. Now 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.760 I go and practice and I laugh because I was 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.760 with Trevino and we go, so what are we practicing before? 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.720 We're not playing any tournaments anymore? And that's isn't that great? 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.800 Things that we go and hit balls and we got 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.280 I think I've got it. I think I think I 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.600 found something that was actually that is better than yesterday 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.120 or last week. I think I've found and I'm staying 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:46.639 that to myself now, and I think I've got to 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.480 go and play. If I don't play something because I 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:53.320 think I got it again, I mean that is that 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.519 I played yesterday. You know, I've beaten my age now 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.840 over three thousand times in a row, and I'm trying 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.760 to beat my age by eighteen shots. And I'm saying 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.639 to myself, you're not playing tourments anymore. But yesterday I 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.320 played and I hit fourteen greens and I didn't put 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.079 well Man. Before I had my drink, I went to 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:16.959 the pudding green. Yeah, what are you doing? I said, No, 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.640 it's engraved in us. It's this game is a disease. 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:25.480 It's a good one. Yeah, and yeah, that's my that's 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.359 my argument to people to say, you know, in our experiment, 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.680 you go because an experiment is a test, that's the 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.000 other good word. And you and every time you hit 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.560 a good shot, you what do you say to You said, oh, 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.280 how do I do that again? Well, then it's a test. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.360 How do you do it again? Physically, technically, mentally, how 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.680 do you do it again. So that's that's the coolest 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.000 thing about a game. That's my argument that why we 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.760 keep why we keep working on it. Yeah, it's such 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.080 a great game. It's actually and you you think about it, Nick, 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.160 when you wouldn't golf tourments, you've got to be a 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.080 great packer, and you've got to have a great mind. 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.720 And the mind is so we is having scratched the 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.960 surface of the mind. Yet what is involved and how 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:13.000 it Okay, I've got a serious question for you. So 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.760 when Gary player could not play like Gary player when 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.080 it obviously it happens one day to an athlete, Yes, 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:24.640 did that hurt you? No, No, they didn't, because first 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.720 of all, we could go on to the Champions Tour, 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.560 but even after that, because I you know, when nine 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.880 majors on the Champions Tour, and that was very significant 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.240 for me because I stayed in shape and I was 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.560 ready to play. And then came the time when I 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.000 couldn't play there anymore. And I said, look, you've got 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:44.600 to be realistic. You know, you've had a wonderful long career, 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.880 and I have had a very long career, longer than 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.760 probably maybe anybody has ever played the game. So you've 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:55.279 had a feast. Gratitude. Gratitude is so important. I say 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.320 to people, a man is never so tall as when 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.360 he's on his knees, and so you should be thanking. 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.479 And I mean if you're playing this great country in 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.920 America as you and I know, I mean, I see 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.560 ethletes complaining about this and then and this and that 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.720 being paid fifty million, five hundred million. You can't go 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:15.640 to another country and even make one million. So to me, 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.760 gratitude is a big thing. And I and I have 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.760 a feast. So when you have a feast and you 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:26.520 leave the table, yes, And so your your career fortunately 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:31.479 just tapered out because physically, like an athlete, you know, 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.159 we're like a new same boat. Once he knows that 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.560 the younger kids will eventually run faster him, and you 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.320 cannot run faster than in your prime you then you 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.560 then let go. So you were able to let go. 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:49.120 You know my career now, I my last win was 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.760 when I was thirty nine, and then I start playing 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.920 badly and you start and it tapered and that hurt me. 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.440 So when I I stopped, it hurt for a while 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.320 because I thought I can't play punic photo could play. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.680 So I was hurtful while but then luckily I hit 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:08.000 the word when I went to tout in the TV tower. 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.919 I looked out the window and watched these guys doing 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.200 this and winning, and I went, wow, I was able 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:14.919 to do that. I could go and play on a 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.920 Sunday trying to win. And then the gratitude word hit me, 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.040 and I realized how exactly the same thing. And I said, well, 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:26.160 I'm really grateful I had that time. I had a 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.360 good pair of hands and a good head and good heart, 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.240 and and I had that for my period. And then 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.359 then I was fine, and I was realized, Yeah, I 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:35.680 had my day, I had my time, and I am 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:39.520 very grateful that I had it. So but you've got 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.680 to find that. You've got to find that gratitude word. 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.880 There's nothing worse than seeing f t too, being champions, 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:50.120 trying to make a comeback and failing. You know, go 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.240 out when you're winning. But the mind is so fascinating, 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.800 and records will always be broken. When the masters at 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.880 forty two, and I said to my wife, the two 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:00.760 things I did in my life that I said to 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.239 my wife, she's a wonderful girlfers. She had two holes 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.560 in one in the same round. She could really play. 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.920 And I said to it, nobody will win the Masters 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.280 at forty two. Again, well, Nicholas comes along and Windsor 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.400 at forty six. So it's such a wonderful, humbling game. 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.680 And then to me, people often say, what's the greatest 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:21.520 achievement in sport in the history of sport? Well, I 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.400 have quite qualified to say that, being eighty five and 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.200 having been around a long time, and you know, I 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.480 won the Grand Slam at twenty nine. I said to 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.480 my wife, nobody will do that. Nicholas comes along winsor 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.840 Tiger Woods. Now here's the thing, when's the Grand Slam 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:41.400 at twenty four. That's the greatest achievement in sports, in 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.760 the history of any sport. You'd like to mention, you're 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.480 going for all sports. That's that's a that's a good 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:54.280 that's a good call. That's something that uh could be done. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:08:00.240 But the odds are extremely slim, extremely It's yeah, it's 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:05.560 now that his Tiger's achievements are amazing, you know, like 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.480 we're saying, he despite what we were saying talking about 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.680 the wealth, he wanted to win. All he wanted to 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.400 do was win. And how a man. Can you know 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.280 how you can come out and have seasons when you're 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:22.120 winning eight majors, sorry, eight tournaments a year and then 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.680 you know some of that that hit and his dominance, 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.680 and we know this game is a tough game to dominate. 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.599 I mean, because it's just just you. You've got to 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.720 be feeling great and being able to come out each 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.720 day you walk out your hotel room and go to 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.559 the golf course, be feeling good and those opening balls 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.840 and it's all got to and to be able to 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.200 do that and come out and just be doing that 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:50.800 all the time. Uh, pretty extraordinary. Well he was able 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.720 to do unbelievable and young people must realize, yes, yes, 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.840 would I have my life over? Now? Would you have 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.160 your life over? No? Back, It's not all roses. You're 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.000 away from your family and many occasions, I was away 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.560 from my children and my wife for three months, away 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.199 from your home, away from your country. You're living in 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:13.839 motels every week, traveling an airplanes, sitting in airports, having 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.400 torments where you played terribly badly. You know, it's not 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.640 all roses, And young guys have got to understand it's 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.880 not a bit of roses. It's there's a lot of adversity. 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.840 Of course, adversity, its adversity is the greatest gift bestowed 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:32.400 upon a man. But it's a fascinating game and it's 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.400 a game you can play forever. Nick Up won't way 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.920 to go and play tomorrow. Yeah, that's way way to 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.000 go and play. And I mean a lot of players 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.360 in their sports can't do that anymore. And that's why 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.839 we get to see golf grows. I think with this 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:49.880 the way golf is going now, you're going to see 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.400 a lot of half and say, well, listen, if I 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.720 go to the NFL three years and I can't walk again, 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.960 and I'm going to die earlier because I've been thumped 0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:01.360 so hard my head and my body, where's gold? You 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.560 know you can make more money at eighty than you 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.600 made when you were world champion. Now, they're not other 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.240 sports that you can do that. It's not only the money, 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.760 it's a competing and it's be able to play in. 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:16.640 Longevity is a big thing in a man's career. Okay, 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.800 going back to the hotel life. It's funny because you know, 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:24.600 I'm in a hotel again for for TV, and I 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.160 think that's the hardest thing on the road, because, like 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.880 we were talking before, you're you're so well off. Now 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:35.440 you're living in a beautiful home anything from six thousand 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.240 to twenty six thousand square feet, and then you come 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.839 to a hotel and you're in Well, I'm I'm pushed 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:43.640 this week. Yeah, I've got eight walls, I've got a 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:48.400 bedroom and I got it a lounge. Okay, but compared 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:52.440 to my home, this is horrible, you know. But so 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.600 if you're doing this week after week and you've got 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.000 that at home, this is a tough life. You know. 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:58.520 I've been on the I've been on the road since 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.240 I was eighteen, and I'm into go. Hm, this is 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.960 getting a little like half work when I know what 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.240 I've got at home and that's my life. And I 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.959 think that's, you know, that thing that can add, as 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:14.520 you said, to how the guys look at being on tour. 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.760 I mean, it's it's because they've got such great wealth 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.920 at home, and surely you've got you gotta remember how 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:22.600 you got your wealth at home, because you've got it 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.520 on the golf course. So and you have to have 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.839 that sacrifice, as you said, to come and stay in hotels, 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:34.120 grinded out practice hard. Um so Yeah, I think that's 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.240 all part of it. That's that's that's all part of 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.760 the modern golfer. And and then can you have longevity. 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.520 You don't have to have longevity like you've done, or 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.840 you can have ten great years on tour and boy 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.320 or boy, you are absolutely set for life. Whether you've 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.200 designed to do more is is down. Whether you think 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.920 I've got a twenty year window as a golfer, that's 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.640 probably pretty realistic. Um, that's a great that's a great 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:04.240 gold to have twenty great years out there. And and 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.600 then if you wish to go out on the senior 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.960 tour after that, that's your your choice afterwards. But it's 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.160 all about it's about that commitment for those twenty years. 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.880 It's the most important thing. Yeah, I when I judge golfers, 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.680 I look at longevity because if you've got a good 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.920 cart last a long time. And if you look at 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.920 Sam sneed and I'll tell you what, I've never seen 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:31.439 a more rhythmical, loose, beautiful golf swing than Sam Snead. 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:35.040 And he played forever, so you've got to put him 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.160 right up there. You've got to put him right Ahare 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.160 was strong. He was strong as his ox, his aunts. 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.160 Was he stropped form. I mean he used to take 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.320 that hit cry stick, didn't they? I mean they did. 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.839 He went into the words and he found a stick. 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:50.760 You know, we've been big knots on it and he 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.679 whittled it with his knights and putting like two degrees 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.800 aloft on this not and he could hit. And I 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.520 heard the stories that he managed to get green height. 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.880 That said the team that at the Greenbrier there he 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.640 got green high in two even doesn't matter what how 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:12.400 doesn't part five with that old with that old golf 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:13.920 for him in And he said, I used to take 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:15.640 this thing out on the tour and give it to 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.080 the guys and tell him to hit it off the debt. 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.080 He said that the top off the end of the team. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.800 Nobody could get it airborne. And he could hit that thing. 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.040 And and you know he could at sixty five he 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.000 could take the ball out of the cup with his 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.760 knees straight and he could he come in the locker. 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.840 We say Sam kicked the door a normal Doyd put 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:38.120 his foot driving on the top of the door. Its amazing, 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.600 And he could do five went on push ups. I mean, 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.280 the guy was absolutely remarkable. But I loved you know, 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.800 Hogan used to irritate him, but because people would come 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.240 and say, you know, Sam, because you've heard this, you 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.080 know that Hogan hits the ball so straight that he 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.360 puts his driver and the same devit he was in yesterday. 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.679 He said, if he was that straight, why did he 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:03.880 hit it to the left or the right of it? Yeah? Yeah, 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:05.640 they might said, they must said a good right, they 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:10.120 were choking cheese, weren't they. They were? They certainly well, 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:14.960 actually amazing, amazing anyway, And you do such a nice 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.600 job on TV because you've been in the arena. And 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.560 the important thing is there's nothing worse than hearing an 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:25.480 answers give opinions and they're really wrong. Of course, we 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.760 all have our opinions, but you've been in the arena 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.280 and you know what it is to come to the 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.600 last hole inded afford to winn't And so I love 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:38.000 your opinions very much. Keep it going, and my my, 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:45.680 my opinions are right, that's the bottom line. So it's 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.800 nice to listen to them all. And there's a good 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.360 line from somebody today's it's just because you disagree with 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:56.080 somebody doesn't mean you're you're right, you know, so yeah, 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.920 I just I just you know, fortunately still hit balls, 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.720 so at least, you know, I stand out and misagreement 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.920 a wedge. And then so when a guy does misagreement 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.200 the wedge, you sure it's a bad job, but say 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.360 why you why was it a bad shot? Rather than 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.200 that's dreadful. That's what we can say it, you know, 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.680 but things happen, and try and say, yeah, I'm trying 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.920 to get more of you know, how and why things happen, 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:22.840 you know, and what what's he got to do? How 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.120 is he going to do it? And why did that 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:28.280 happen rather than speak the obvious, you know, so what 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.320 you can see? So that's that's important to me to 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.280 keep keep working on that too. Hey, just give some 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:39.840 good insight into what the players only guess what they're thinking. 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:44.280 Not a mind reader, but but you can definitely help 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.640 the golfers with some little tips here and there. I 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:48.520 like doing that, like trying to give a bit of 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:53.320 insight some try this, feel that, think that. So yeah, 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.840 I'm enjoying it. It's it's it's a it's a it's 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.600 a good gig. Two things that come to mind. It's 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.040 wonderful to see golfer is you know, doing so much 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:07.760 for charity. I think golfers are renowned as wonderful contributors 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.840 to charity. And the other thought that came to my 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.280 mind knowing that you're going to have the open at 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:16.520 sirt Andrew's and deshambro is going to drive probably firm conditions, 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:20.360 nine greens. So yeah, this has got to be a 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.000 lot of exciting things to look forward to. And thanks 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:28.320 very much, Nick. Yeah, I just like brys and get 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.280 if they get the right wind. If he gets down 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:34.200 wind at the first, he might even calculate first bound 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:38.520 will go over the burn. If he lands it's jot 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:42.760 on a rock hard fairway dying he could well, yeah, 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.920 if he can carry it three fifty, he will get 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.560 well down wind. They say he carries one three sixty 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.120 at the first, well, that's will learn just short one 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.160 big hot be and will hopefully stopped by the back 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.000 of the green. That will cause a bit of a stir. 0:16:58.200 --> 0:16:59.920 Then he has to play it back to the flat. 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.600 But but you're right, if you've got down wind, if 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:09.240 they get favorable wind, you know, John Daily got very 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.520 close to number two. I mean the fairways are running 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.840 rock card. John Daily got closer so you've got to 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.720 obviously three you can drive now he can drive three, 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.040 not the four or five part five yes too. Six 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:26.280 down winds he will get seven, seven, seven, he could 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:30.240 actually he could somehow get it onto the eleventh green 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.600 of seven he can go up that way. And then 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.640 obviously nine and ten you already can. Twelve, you already care. 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:45.640 And if you if you got down wind fifteen it's 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.160 the fairways, all downhill, rock hard when it gets when 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:55.359 it gets silvery shiny, sixteen brutal, prediculous shot. But wow, 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.919 he could he could aim at the second green and 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.600 somehow get it up very close to there. It might 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.040 be in the hay, I don't know. And then of 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:05.960 course a team will be but he might be hitting 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.919 his forearn if it's down wind on a team, so 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.000 that that will cause a bit of a stir so 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.000 we But but if they get the dreaded left to 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.000 right wind going out and coming back, you're very happy 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:25.480 to break empty. Four our viewers that I never forget 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:28.000 played here the very first time. I thought they spoilt 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.840 a good marsh, and afterwards I learned it was one 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:34.240 of my favorite places the world. I've got such a respect. 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.280 But under one green there. It's about the six or something. 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:42.040 I had a hundred yard plant, a hundred yards and 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.600 I said Magetti. His name was Jock. I said, Jock. 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.520 He's at the flags holding the flag. I said, give 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.200 me a line. He says, Laddy, I can he give 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.120 you a line? I can give you a yard, bitch. 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.040 I can't even see it, he said, keep keep keep 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.240 talking to me because I can't see you down there. 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.359 And we got we've gotta we've gotta tell everybody what 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.520 we're gonna do, Gary, because you know your stories are made. 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.639 When you first went to s Andrew's, you didn't you 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:12.640 didn't have enough money for the hotel, so you put 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.040 your water proofs on. You went in the sand dunes 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.160 down I guess it must have been right of number two, 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:22.800 somewhere there, opposite the hotel, and you put your water 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.280 proofs on, and you make camp and you slept in 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:29.080 the sand dunes. You know. So I've been thinking about 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.800 we're trying to work on this, because remember when we spoke, 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.040 we were talking about when you're when I'm older, and 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:36.919 you said, well, obviously we're gonna be in San Andrew's 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:40.280 next year. So somehow we need us for what we're doing, 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:42.159 and say we need a sponsor for this. We're going 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:45.800 to do this for charity for the homeless maybe or something, 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.320 and we're going to do a celebrity camp out. So 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.760 we're well, yeah, we'll start. We will start with a 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:55.360 nice party so we're fed and watered. Maybe we can 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.800 get then we can get Bush Mills to give us 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:00.520 some lovely whiskey to keep us war all at night. 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:04.200 That'd be lovely. And then um, and then I thought 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.919 we can all somebody could sponsor us. We have a 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:13.640 waterproof or cash me blankets, right and if it's not 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:15.720 and if it's raining, we need a little bit of 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.640 a canopy. But we thought we'd go and sleep in 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:22.320 the sand dunes to honor you, my great friend, and 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:23.760 we can maybe do a bit of do a bit 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:25.919 of good for charity. So if there's anybody out there 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.160 listening to that, of things will be and you can 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.920 come and join us. You can buy a ticket for 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.399 the evening and come. And we think it would be 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.080 a hell of a laugh, My goodness, will I think 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.320 it would be hilarious. We hope, we just we hope 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.760 it's not a chilly evening. I have to have to 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:51.280 chip carry out of a ditch. If there's mind diving, well, 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.640 if he dies, he dies. It was a great evening, 0:20:53.920 --> 0:21:00.680 So it might be what's the circle of life? If 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.720 that's where you started with Snares, that's where you're gonna finish, 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:09.320 my boy the next day. The next day I got 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.520 a room for ten shillings and sixpence. That was a 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.159 dollar bed and the room was so small. When I 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:20.960 put the key in the keyhole, the window correct clubby 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.840 was facing the sea. It was facing the bloody WC. 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.240 And I didn't have a curtain. There were no curtains 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:30.760 in the room. And I mean, you know it was. 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.320 It's hilarious when you think. I mean, I remember taking 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:36.640 a Greyhound bust from fort Worth to Houston. I mean 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.800 it's not the same as your your own private jet, 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:46.760 is it? Not quite? So I love to tell the story, 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:49.119 you know it, And it's my favorite. I got on 0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:52.159 the first year Saint Andrew's my first year. Then I 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:56.760 was very nervous. The fairway so white, and the guy says, 0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:59.480 play away, bloody, there's big do a guy with his 0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:02.119 kill John and I hooked up damn ball and was 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:04.080 going to get out of bounds and I, thank goodness 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:05.960 I hit that white ray League and it came back 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.240 in the fince and we will. Walking off the tea 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:10.440 said Laddy, come here and watch your name. I said, 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:12.959 my name is Gary Players. He says, and where are 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:15.679 you from? I said South Africa and he says, and 0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:17.960 what is your handicap? I said, no, I'm a pro. 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:22.320
