DescriptionNick Faldo was born 1957 in Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, England. Nick showed an early interest in sports and his parents, Joyce and George, helped him in any way they could. When he wanted to play tennis his father booked a tennis instructor for him, when he got interested in swimming his father got him into a club and it was the same with athletics and cycling.
When he saw Jack Nicklaus winning the 1971 Masters on TV he got interested in golf. He asked his parents if he could start to play and the next day he walked down to the Welwyn Garden City Gold club and booked six lessons for the golfinstructor Chris Arnold. He borrowed some clubs from a neighbor and when the summer came his parents gave him a half set of clubs.
1975, four years after he started, Nick begun the summer at 3 in hcp. He won the English Amateur, the Berkshire Trophy, the British Youths, English Champion of Champions and a big tournament in South Africa. In the end of the year he had +1. Nick then decides to combine golf with studies at a university in Houston, USA. Nick only stayed for one semester because he didn’t think that he got enough time to practice on his game.
Nick turned pro 1976 and in 1977 was he the youngest player ever to play in the Ryder cup. The Ryder cup was played at Royal Lytham & St Anne ‘s and Nick, only 20 years old, won all his three matches. He played his single match against Tom Watson and he won on the last green.
In the following years Nick became one of the best players on the European Tour. But at the PGA Championships at Wentworth 1983 something happened. Nick made a shot that went 90 degrees to the left and he had no idea what he had just done or how to fix it. Nick was gone for the rest of the year. Nick met David Leadbetter in South Africa in the end of 1984. He was the first person who ever told Nick that if you do like that you will fix that and that problem. All the other teachers that Nick had talked with had only helped him for the moment. Nick was gone both 1985 and 1986 and many people started to doubt him. It ‘s now 1987.
Nick Faldo had been working on his swing for three years when the 1987 season began. He had been trying to make a successful swing even more successful. He was trying to reach another level in his game, a level that he knew he could not reach if he did not change his swing. Nick knew that he couldn’t win a big tournament without a swing he could trust. Many people had started to doubt Nick Faldo and they didn’t think he would ever get back to being a top golfer, but in 1987 Nick was going to show them he was back, better than ever.
Nick started the 1987 season pretty well with a 4th and a 3rd place. Nick won his first competition of the year at the Spanish Open. He had not won a competition for three years but this proved he was a winner again.
