Sir Nick Faldo gets no respect at sunrise.

back to the fire Pit. Well, that was a blur in a blast fifteen episodes of this podcast, with a bonus on Kevin Kisner and Brandon Shambly breaking down Bryson d Shambo and thus wrapping up season one. Thank you for all your support, kind words and thoughtful reviews. It's been a true team effort from the start and I couldn't have done any of this without my guys Alex with Peggy and Rex Lynt who spent endless days and

nights helping me tell the first sixteen stories. For the next few weeks as a link to the start of season two, we'll be dropping mini pods, short stories, or great golf jokes by the best storytellers I've met on the road at fire pits all over the world. Which brings us back to Sir Nick Faldo, who we interviewed as one of the voices to help us tell the two part podcast on rigs of bar stool quarantining for nine nine days at Piners Episodes thirteen and fourteen of

the Pit. Hello, Hello, Sir Nick Faldo, Hello, how are you beautiful? Thank you for thank you for taking this time. I really appreciate it. Sure, am I doing a cameo apperiance or something? In some cases, we've recorded up to four hundred minutes of interviews from as many as eleven voices to help produce one forty minute story, which is

to say, there's a lot left over. As I started my goodbyes to the six time major champion, nine time PG Tour winner, eleven time writer Coupper, World Golf Hall of Famer, and now iconic TV analyst who will call every major championship for the foreseeable future, Foldo had more to say and share. Keep in mind, Follodo references Greg Braden in this story, who's an author and lecturer who bridges science to spirituality. Sir Nick Faldo, what a treatment.

Thank you. Yeah, pace yourself out there and be safe pace you said, that's a good point. Yeah, pace yourself sitting in that chair talking for three hours every day, and find those quiet places, find those quiet places on the road. Yeah, yeah, I love those. Yeah, you're right,

and sitting. So here's my funny story. So we go up to Pontrevida last this week and we watch and so I've been watching all these great shows, great Braden and these mind guys, and and he says, the most important time of the day is when just before sun comes out. Is that, you know, the dawn at first glow before the sun breaks up, and obviously the same in the evening when sun's down, you've got that lovely after glow. So I say to Lindsey, right, come, we

got on the beach six o'clock Tuesday morning. Let's get on the beach. We're gonna sit there and watch the sun come up. So, which is coming up with what happened? Six two? So I'm sitting there on the beach and we're watching the sun, and obviously we got we've got three big dogs and So this little dog comes running along the beach, comes to season because I said, oh lucky, you can smell three big puppies. And of course he goes around the back of me and he peas down

the back of my shirt. So I'm sitting on the beach. He enjoined the sun rise with the warm dog in the back of my chest. So sod this tranquility a lark it zen meditation, And I just looked that way, all right. Luckily, if you've got dogs, you go, okay, that's fine. I didn't. I wasn't gonna go and see the guy. So I just said, oh, never mind, and I just sat there. Well, that's lovely, and then I went and played. Then I went to play cop and I played crap. So it doesn't work like birds droppings.

You know, there's no good luck. There's no luck in a dog beeing down your back. That's my That's my parting story for the evening. More of these stories and outtakes in the coming weeks, as well as more favorite fire pits from our long list of guests who have had on the podcast. The last question I asked everybody is the podcast is called the fire Pit. Do you have a favorite fire pit, a place where you sit around and tell stories or hear stories, or a place

to kind of mean something more to you. Then yeah, you've been. I've got a really great friend and Shellen Harger in Sweden and he's there right now. He's got his most they live just they've got a summer house just north of Gothenburg. It's called these islands, all the all little islands, and it's his islands called Sharon. And he's got a lovely little house, tiny too little cottage. It is very small. It's all you're allowed on the

coast in the rocks. I mean rocks as big as houses and and and imagine and you go there and obviously Sweden in the summer, it's it's light all night. It goes dusk midnight and it's sun's up at three and we sit out there and it's dead. Carl and all you look at this little rocks in this little bay, and he's this fabulous guide to talk to because he's sports psychologist, business psychologists, and we have crazy ideas. So

I had some. That's one of my zen spots to sit with a friend and just look out and it's super silent. That's what I enjoy as well. And it's super silent. There's but like Montana, you know, when you go out there and you just sit there and go can you hear that? You go, yeah, nothing, God No, I can't hear nothing. And I think that's really I think that's really that, you know, our lives beenness respective as we are. Um, I actually enjoy that sitting and

Lindsay is good. Lindsay and I can sit together in silence or something and it's not it's not awkward. You know, sometimes you were with somebody if he goes silent, like why are you talking to me? You don't want to talk to that, you know, And we can sit there and enjoy just sitting quietly and it's actually really cool, very nice, nice feeling. So I like it. I like my silence in it. And a little fireplace here and there. Yeah,

I don't know how that that was. It takes a lot of explaining with the wife. Didn't that. I want to thank all the TV commentators for telling me how to practice and what to do and what not to do, and obviously without without the price, what can I say about the price?
