Faldo

Nick Faldo won more major championships than any other golfer in the late l980s. A total perfectionist, he cuts his fingernails only at the beginning of the week, for fear of disturbing the delicate balance of his grip. In this new biography John Hopkins, golf correspondent of the Sunday Times, looks at the influences that have made Faldo a superstar. He talks to the people closest to him, including his parents, wife, coaches, manager and fellow players, and aims to provide a revealing portrait of the man who could dominate world golf in the l990s.
