murraymints; I don't know anyone who remembers the great man smiling his way to his numerous victories. In his own words; "For me to be a hard bag of mails on the golf course was generated for the purpose of being a successful golfer. I didn't necessarily make friends. They call it 'performance-mode' nowadays. That's a great quality, isn't it?" "But people would see me like that and didn't like it. I was focused, obsessed. But what was an enviable quality on the golf course, was seen as not such a great quality off the course." In truth, Faldo was a singular, headstrong, blinkered golfer who, on the course, rarely communicated beyond a handshake at the beginning and end of a round. Had he been the happy go lucky type, he wouldn't have won a thing.
