EP128 - LEE WESTWOOD

[@alexblanchard120]

absolutely class! something infectious about how blunt Westwood is! love it!

[@stefowler2064]

Proper Nottingham lad that's why!

[@insanity6105]

I’m American, but have always been a huge Lee Westwood fan. He is a class act and has always had his head in the right place. I’m still hoping he wins a major, and wouldn’t it be awesome if he were to win the Open at St. Andrews. The clock is ticking on him, but I’d love to go have a pint with him, I’ll buy! Please pass this along to him

[@jacemofo]

A Forest fan aswell 🌳

[@peterbryant9687]

Lee is one of the reasons I took up golf. I watched him in the Laurance Batley classic at The Belfry way back and was just in awe of his ability. Can't wait to listen to this on the way to golf in an hour. Another great guest. Keep them coming Rick & Guy.

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

Thanks so much Peter!!

[@dpezza5]

Class, love Lee Westwood so this was a real treat! Great insight and I love how blunt and to the point he is.

[@Golfing-AddiCt]

I really enjoyed this, Lee is so dry, he has such a British bulldog way about him, says it how it is and no mistake, yet through his comments you can tell quite clearly that he has a heart of gold with his this will bring joy to some else attitude. This has been an absolute pleasure to watch..! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@NrB91]

When you get notified that there's a bonus podcast, only to discover Rick has landed himself Lee Westwood! Keep up the great work loving the show.

[@kalemsunter5492]

Comfortably the best guest and podcast episode to date! What a guy Lee Westwood is and I loved how he doesn’t look back on his major career with regrets and only spins his experiences as positives.

[@markshepherd2779]

Brilliant... When the quality of the person outshines the golf they play and the golf they play is outstanding that is someone who you could call a friend. Thank you Rick and Guy for interviewing such a fantastic person as Lee Westwood. Highlight of the interview for me was talking about the gentleman who had cancer. It goes to show how a simple gesture and act of kindness can have a massive impact on someones life and the ripple effect that can have is enormous. Looking forward to seeing the game. I have a request... can we please see more videos with quality people like Lee Westwood.

[@maiabrittany]

An awesome podcast. So refreshing to come across golfers like Lee Westwood who haven't their head up their back side.

[@tylerpalmer8973]

Another one of the guys that has been around for so long is just such a great guy to watch! Always enjoyed watching Lee play, and still do. Seems like one of the genuine good guys!

[@reganmead2721]

Video idea : range ball vs normal ball. Would be interesting to see the difference and helpful for us golfers who can’t use more than range balls for practice really

[@DD-eight]

Thts a great video!! I’ve seen some results from robots hitting them. With a 115 SS a new ProV1 went about 9 yds longer than a used or recycled prov1. The faster your swing speed the more the distance between ball increases

[@brianneary2329]

Lee Westwood , what a full on genuine bloke. Plenty could learn from his attitude to both Golf and life. Great Video

[@PauseAndEffect]

What an interview. Very insightful and well done to all of you. Keep up the great work!

[@alanmackenzie3258]

No Saudi golf questions, or were they not allowed. Good podcast and a great guest. Keep it up you two.

[@alexnicholls13]

Speaks volumes about the whole affair.

[@Wakethefuckup427]

@@alexnicholls13 I read this comment with a British accent

[@benhancock6349]

That's up there with the best videos on KZbin. Lee was absolutely class.

[@MarcusLE93]

Love this content! The supermarket line cracked me up - 100% deserved a major or three.

[@hauntedutah]

Only a few more hours until break 75 returns. I’m very excited for the return and season 2!!

[@clausgoldbknielsen6463]

Amazing epic interview. I love these talks with the legends - and videos if you are playing a round with them. It is super interesting, AND gives the younger generation a chance to experience the PERSONS behind these legendary names. This also makes it a richer experience to later watch these persons on TV. Thanks Rick for everything you have done ❤

[@roberthudson3571]

What a guy! Always loved Lee. A proper golfer and a fantastic human being. A total credit to the game of golf!!

[@markphillips8901]

Such a great interview. So down to earth. Lee is an absolute legend

[@Fr3ddyUK]

What a funny man is Lee Westwood! He's brilliant. Good at taking the piss. Especially when Rick leaves him with the oppotunity to do so. This's one of the best podcasts I've seen so far. Well done Rick and Guy, and also Lee for being such a good sport :)

[@justingilliam264]

Lee's comment about most asked amateur question was spot on, I am a high school golf coach and I get asked every day, "Hey coach what club should I hit here." My answer has been the same as Lee's, "What club do you hit this distance" and they look back at me with a blank expression. Great interview thanks for all that you do Rick and Guy.

[@balance3201]

Not necessarily , what club would be the most efficient.

[@colindownton1686]

the best interview I have watched. So down to earth and an all around nice chap.

[@nathanwareham1461]

My favourite golfer if all time. Wish I could spend a day with Lee Westwood. Class and I bet he would be a laugh and have no problem taking your money!

[@ClintTorres607]

What an awesome podcast. Lee, as always, is such a class act.

[@scottlogronio9488]

Great to see Lee grace the show, what an outstanding career and a down to earth guy, I’m Scottish but really support all the British Golfers, Best of Luck for the Future !

[@WillPittRFC]

Great pod this, just catching up having watched yesterday's match against him. Really enjoyed both

[@nickupjohn8586]

Brilliant ! Always been a huge fan of Lee’s and his awesome record and longevity speaks for itself, well done Rick and Guy lovely laid back interview .

[@Davidefc]

Great chat with Lee loved the interview such a great guy and down to earth have enjoyed watching him play over the years

[@glennmcilvenna3142]

Great video guys, I’ve been a big fan of lee for a long time and the more long form interviews I watch him in the more I appreciate how down to earth funny and humble he is, and despite the majors he is a British legend of the game, so thanks for taking the time to entertain us off the course lee, top bloke

[@coatesgary85]

I could listen to him all day. Great interview.

[@seanedwards2857]

"I'm the best golfer in this supermarket". HAHAHA! Brilliant Lee

[@macmccarthy9828]

Loved the interview with Lee, what an amazing person, thanks Rick.

[@ttichonchuk]

Being over in America, I know the name Lee Westwood, but I didn't know much about him. Absolute class! What a genuine guy. Seems like he'd be fun to have a pint with (back in the day when I did more of that than I care to admit!). I'm now a fan. Cheers, Rick!

[@neilking1257]

There has been some good podcasts, but this is by far the best for me. Absolute legend of the game and fun to boot!

[@otislowery7353]

I've always enjoyed watching Lee play. He has a confidence about himself that is obvious as he smiles all the way around the course. Great interview.

[@Matt-Higgins]

Absolutely brilliant, quality interview. Love Lee’s honesty, and humour

[@adarshkesari82]

What a fantastic interview, Lee is amazing! Love the show, keep up the amazing work!

[@chrismullan2125]

Great podcast with an incredible guest! Lee has always been someone we have all seemed to cheer on, great pro. So glad to hear the love for Darren Clarke, fantastic player with a brilliant career. A real hero in Northern Ireland. Look forward to the podcasts every week, the bonus podcasts are always elite!

[@benmarnoch4111]

This is a brilliant interview, Lee has a waspish dry sense of humour, wasn’t expecting to laugh out loud, you can see why he is so great at matchplay.

[@davee9887]

Been looking forward to it since Close House posted about it and it really didn’t disappoint. Was great hearing his stories and points of view and without doubt Lee is an English Golfing National Treasure 🙌

[@Damudean]

I’m only a couple of years older than Lee and I remember, having a golf magazine with him and Nick on the cover from the Ryders cup. It’s incredible that he is still smashing it with the best in the world. An amassing gentleman

[@johnanthony6324]

Just Class, chilled and living the dream! InspirationaL

[@smpt2013]

Thank you for another great interview Rick and Guy! Lee is Class! I really liked the tip about picking which ever swing thought is working for you. Never thought of it like that.

[@gregleavitt1255]

Love this and the 10-stroke match. Excellent, all!

[@cpat7065]

A shout out to Colorado just before 38:00. That's awesome. Never would have thought that would come out of his mouth.

[@grahamhilldrup1256]

Great Interview. What a great sense of humour Lee Westward has.

[@ballforegolf]

I have added Lee to my bucket list of people to have a beer with. Love his outlook on life. Great episode.

[@stuartmitchell7287]

Great interview and last minute was moving and puts things into perspective. Well played Mr Westwood 👏

[@christopherparkin7183]

This was easily the best podcast yet! Lee is a great guy with a great outlook on the game

[@paulbayman1268]

That for me was the best Podcast amazing Lee Westworld and thanks Guy and Rick brilliant

[@andyh6017]

Absolute class act. Well done and thank you.

[@martynmurfitt-wrather7555]

What a great watch - Lee is one of the good guys & I loved listening to him, and this episode is up there with the Faldo podcast .. keep them coming!

[@chrisfleet999]

Love Lee's no nonsense answer approach, refreshing to see. Good work Rick!

[@G00NERJ80]

Lee Westwood is just an amazing golfer and a genuine guy... one of my favs!

[@spookysilver]

Huge respect for Lee. Very honest and humble about his huge talent.

[@1atomicgolf]

Great interview... same format as the Faldo interview in that you let the star of the interview shine through as they should ... lots of time for their answers to be formulated and expressed before rushing onto the next question .. I think your interviews are the best format quality on youtube... cant wait to see the match between Lee and yourself..

[@rogerfleming8358]

Brilliant show fellas 👍🏻 what a top bloke Lee is. Now just to find out how the golf match went 🤔

[@garytownley8834]

Brilliant interview and what a great guy good stuff and also the mind gmes started before the first tee excellent.

[@nathanwalker3499]

Great insight, such a top bloke, down to earth, role model and so consistent! Pleasure playing at the same club! Keep it up Lee! Another class podcast Rick! Keep it going 👍

[@cnicontractingltdnige5871]

Excellent interview have been a fan of Lee’s since he started !!!

[@nofoolsick5205]

Rick, you are becoming my favourite KZbinr pretty fast I can tell you that :) Keep up the great work!

[@simonmackness403]

Old school nice guy. Remember watching him at Celtic Manor in the Ryder Cup and the crowd loved him. An exceptional ball striker and player.

[@NZFarmboy80]

Another fantastic podcast Rick and Guy, keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to seeing break 75 series again

[@theomcgrath3312]

This is huge Rick! Only a few minutes in but Lee seems like such a good guy, fair play

[@nicksmith2773]

Brill episode gents, nice that you can hark back to previous conversations. The podcast is on another level lately.

[@seandarlington3773]

Close House - a wonderful memory for anyone who played golf for Newcastle University there. Nice to see how it has evolved with Lee giving it such a high profile

[@CheviotHills]

Yeah my Grandad had a membership when it was with the University. Great little course.

[@jesusrevus8017]

Funny Lee mentioning nutrition. I remember being in the queue for the burger van at The Forest of Arden near the driving range and Lee was in the queue for a burger with his mum behind us. How times have changed, particularly with the interaction between fans and players as well.

[@aidangriffiths5075]

What a podcast this is 😂 two of the worlds best players in a few days. Ridiculous... keep it up lads 🤙

[@gbc7344]

This is great ..Lee is hilarious..I used to go to tournaments at Wentworth etc and watch him on the range and wonder why he didn’t win every week ..his ball striking is that good..Always one of my favourite players over the years..thanks Rick for this 👍⛳️🇬🇧

[@mybrandnewsocks]

Love Westwood, my mind wants to tell me that he’s like a duck on water.. looks relaxed but manic underneath but then you hear the insights and you can just feel that he’s the kinda guy you just feel at ease around. It’s so impressive he can keep that level of healthy indifference whilst competing at the top for 3 decades. You can’t teach it

[@cossiekris1986]

Westy is definitely one of my all time favourite golfers. Class bloke. Well done Rick and Guy, great episode.

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

Thank you!

[@stuartburgess4499]

You wait for a great podcast and then 2 come along, can’t wait to get stuck into this. Really enjoying the chats with the pros. Min woo Lee was excellent again

[@TBATTIECYCLING]

Unbelievable guest, thanks Guy & Ric. All love from South Manchester 😎👻😵‍💫

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

Thank you!

[@wecolouritall]

Great podcast as always gents. Lee is an absolute Legend!

[@1canta]

Just one of the best, such a nice bloke, I really hope he wins his Major!!! Nobody deserves it more. Love him.

[@mrsir1872]

Lees always been one of my lowkey favs on tour

[@PetSKi67]

Yet it is the 128th, I find this goes easily to the Top-5! Lee’s voice and the mellow take on himself is just money! I’ve felt Lee attitude for years, but this just puts a period to my expectatons. What a lovely guy and what a tranqualizing tone of voice! Saying that I jus realze, that is exactly, what you need on a course playing. Tranquil mind and good decisions with determination to pull it out.

[@BIGBALDYBEAR1]

Great interview gents 👍 I really liked L. W. anyway but even more so now he's so chilled and down to earth

[@joeryan6863]

Imo the greatest player ever to come out of the UK and a more down to earth bloke you couldn't meet. Legend.

[@justbreakingballs]

Behave will you.

[@paulnorbury2100]

Fantastic interview and Lee is such a cool dude !! Fingers crossed for the open !!!

[@golfbn]

Love this interview, have always enjoyed Lee both on and off the course. The elephant in the room was almost discussed when Stenson as ryder cup captain was brought up, basically I am happy this interview stayed away from all the drama in golf lately. Thanks guys!!

[@bengaliinplatforms1268]

What's the drama?

[@LemonJelly360]

These pro golfer interviews you’ve recorded in recent weeks/months have been absolutely awesome. The insights have been incredible and they are a joy to watch. I hope you manage to keep lining them up for the future, you never know, maybe you’ll get Tiger to participate? 😁

[@mwilcegolf2066]

Absolutely brilliant loved every minute

[@JoshMortlock]

Brilliant interview, well done guys. Massive respect for Lee, so down to earth.

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

Thanks Josh!

[@geewilliams2178]

Love this. Have loved Lee for 27 years too

[@lawbinson]

Thank you Guy for asking the golf perv questions!

[@petermeades835]

Love a Friday special 🙌🏻

[@chrisbates7743]

Best dry sense of humour in sport, Lee Westwood is a treasure

[@payne15462]

Could listen to these insights all day

[@craigsharp6581]

Big fan of Westwood and his down to earth outlook. After listening to the interview I think I want him to win a major more than he does. 😂. But what an attitude to have probably why he has remained at the top end of the elite game for so long. Good luck for the rest of the season and I hope you get that first major at St Andrew’s at the 150th. So it’s not just a major it’s one that is a perfect storm. Keep up the great work Guy and Rick. Podcasts going from strength to strength!

[@careerstreet]

Legend… what a great attitude to life he has too, 👌🏻

[@dunc_leaper]

I love that Lee is so grounded and laid back that things like golf clubs, Ryder cup golf bags and hole in one golf balls are not that important in life to him

[@murphymagic]

60m+ career earnings will make anybody laid back

[@Fred_1898]

Great podcast guys, loved every minute of it!

[@benverbick9189]

I love seeing the Ryder Cup banner in the back. I'm from the States and live right close to Hazeltine.

[@rodgalilee7946]

Great chat, what a gent Lee is, you two aren't too bad either. Thanks

[@stevehalifax7557]

Love these player interviews Rick they are very interesting to hear from the greats ....more of them please . I would like to see you interview Pete Cowan as he's the man behind many of these greats 🏌️‍♂️⛳

[@DrBeardface23]

What an absolutely legend. Lad. Love it.

[@craigedga4r]

Credit to the game and himself - Lee Westwood - always seems to have smile.on his face 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 One of the best guests guys - says it as it is and genuine 👍👍👍

[@chrisclegg8929]

Awesome professional golfer and person, a true legend long may he continue
