@Goynes42 i'm not disagreeing with you, anybody who say's he was short is mad. All pro's hit the ball along way, but to be fair its strongly down wind in this clip.
-
wow.....he even hovers a 3 iron.
-
Best swing ever. Shame he wasn't paired with Norman that day, I reckon ol Greg would have shot 82 and lost by 10 ;)
-
how good was his swing then......lovely strike and what a true great player, 6 majors wow!
-
@stevepising exactly! Look at the guy: pure artistry. I watch Bubba Watson and I want to puke. This guy was Rembrandt with a golf club.
-
@Goynes42 not to mention they didnt loft down clubs like now!
-
That final round was one of the most unbelievable things I've ever seen, absolutely up there with NIcklaus/Watson at Turnberry or even Jack's '86 Masters. Faldo was brilliant, but Norman was even more brilliant and totally deserved to win, in one of the greatest final rounds ever shot in a major championship.
-
Tighten up fairways and make missing fairways and greens actually penal again, and you'd see about how far bomb-and-gouge would get these guys. Might see another Faldo emerge under those conditions. At the '08 U.S. Open (Torrey Pines), Woods and Mediate went into a playoff with both hitting barely over half the fairways--in a U.S. Open. It's disgusting. All the Tour and its sponsors care about are product.

Right, and that's why you hit the 3-iron with a little bump swing like that, like you're trying to hit about an 80-yard wedge, so you can keep the ball down out of the wind when it's _downwind_, too. Real wind players know this; they know not to make every shot a matter of "what's the highest-lofted club I can possibly get there with?" What most people don't know is that before he went to the all-control game, Faldo was one of the longer hitters in Europe.

@Goynes42 its downwind on a links course, look at the flag, its practically blowing a gale.

I laugh when people say "Oh, Faldo hit it so short." That's a 3 iron from damn near 220 yards. That ain't short.
He hit it straighter than almost anybody who's ever played, too.
