[size="3"]Masters fever building up,I just checked the website thinking how nice it would be to buy a couple of DVD's of our man NF winning but was sorry to see that their DVD selection runs from 1986 and Big Jack to Tiger in '97 with nothing in between.
I can only imagine it's because they've sold out of the really popular ones.[/size]

I played Welwyn Garden City GC a week ago. Interesting to see that the club Championships winners board had a cetain N.Faldo MBE listed as winning in 74 and 75.

He was using the pings in 2002. I watched him on the range at hazeltine for the PGA. It was beautiful.

How much was it? Better than San Lorenzo? (an absolute gem)



They need to start being more realistic with the prices for rounds in Portugal, the economy is shagged but yet they still charge way over odds for golf, and the courses are deadly quiet.

Would have to agree with this. Spain isn't much better either, albeit there are some decent package deals to be had.

I'm really looking forward to some new Faldo material!

 

On a humorous note Steve Elkington Tweet'd that Sir Nick had mentioned he'd been rolling his balls in the shower. I'm not sure the context but I hope he was talking about get used to Augusta lightning greens!

 

Otherwise things have gotten weird....

There's a photo knocking about of Ian Woosnam having a similar clonk; in his case on the snooker table at home in preparation for Augusta's lightning fast greens.

Can any of you historians be able to tell me what brand of irons Nick was playing when he won his majors?

I got offered a set of TP9's today 1-sw with no bounce soles in good nick - excuse the pun.
The inner Faldo in me has me thinking go for it - the outer hacker has me thinking good luck hitting them

What say ye Faldo troupe??

[freddiec]

I picked up a set of TP19s, 2-PW for $330.00 US. They are in good condition. I hit them once, they are really great. They will collect dust now, if anybody interested, let me know, I'd let them do crazy cheap.

[Macattack]

This is such a sweet thread.

[Iggypop]

Is it normal to look at that setup position longer than the Hilly Sanders thread?
