Faldo wanted his team to prepare like how he approached a Ryder Cup. His preparation was the same as any other week or any major a very individual preparation. He wanted the 12 players on the team to prepare as they would for a tournament.
I thought it was very valid because at Ryder Cups I fight not having enough time. I've got to be in a monkey suit when I'd rather be practicing my putting. It was a valid hypothesis but it didn't work.
Why not? We weren't a team. We just lost that element of being together.
By making everyone be a team you might scupper two players, but you'd improve 10 and that's the difference. He tried to get 12 individuals to play their best. These are things I hope captains learn going forward.
The team is more important. Don't give people the freedom Nick gave us. He tried a strategy he thought would work and we didn't know it wouldn't work until we tried it.
If Nick had a winning team we would have said that getting players to their best individually was a ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
