Cool story about Nick Faldo

I was just talking to my dad’s buddy and he told me a cool story you might like. So this was years ago in Muskoka, Canada. Nick had just designed a course called The Rock - an awesome and tough course. It’s not too far, so my dad and his buddy went to the course when it was done being built - but wasn’t opening for another month.

So they go to the course with a bunch of balls and their 5 irons and are just walking it and playing because no one was around and why not. As they are walking some guy pulls up to them in a cart. Obviously they think they’re about to get kicked out for trespassing or a β€œwtf are you dudes doing?”

Sure enough the guy is totally cool with it and asks them what they think of the course. They are total hacks too which makes this a little funnier. One says to the guy β€œit’s beautiful, are you a groundskeeper?” To which he replies β€œno I designed the course, I’m Nick Faldo”. Although they play occasionally they aren’t big golfers so wouldn’t recognize him but obviously knew his name.

Hahaha they said their mouths dropped. They said he couldn’t have been cooler.

I've recently inherited a Nick Faldo Signed golf bag that is brand new, and was wondering if any collectors who could tell me if it's worth anything? I'll just use it if not.

My dad’s old Pringle/Nick Faldo jumpers that he’s given to me. Probably from around 1994 - would anyone wear these out on the course today?

I just saw an ad featuring Sir Nick Faldo for golf shoes that can claim to lower your handicap by 4

He, along with the network and everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves

Can we start a grassroots movement to replace Nick Faldo with Phil Mickelson?

The man is one of the best golfers of this generation and he proved yesterday (as he out alpha’d Faldo multiple times) that he may be an even better broadcaster than he was a player.

Hoban says he remembers watching Nick Faldo play Graham Marsh in 1993 - Faldo knocked the ball into the crowd and a fan threw it on the green - can anyone verify this?

I said it’s apocryphal he swears it’s true can anyone confirm the veracity of this tale

Nick Faldo story - a fan throws the ball back on the green

Hello,

Apologies if it doesn’t quite fit here - my friend and I were talking about golfing controversies and he recalled a notable one being a fan throwing Falcons ball onto the green and enabling him to win the Ryder Cup

I found nothing on YouTube or Googleaside from an excerpt from some golf based fiction book in the independent and two threads where groups of people have a similar recollection - it’s always Faldo - but the place, hole, opponent and year are never the same (links below)

He swears he saw it on TV and he was born in 1985

It’s weird I can’t really find anything else on this?

Does anyone know any trusty dealers who are willing to find replicas of these extraordinary watches for an extra money? If not, does anyone know factory which can customize their products (replicas of AP RO and PP Nautilus) and recreate these fantastic dials?
