WATCH: Sir Nick Faldo Plays Golf With Movie Star Chris Pratt In New Series

Sir Nick Faldo may have left his commentary position but he’s back on our screens and back on the golf course after launching his new YouTube series ’18 With Sir Nick’ with a real bang as film star Chris Pratt joins him in his first episode.

The six-time Major champion tees it up with the Hollywood actor at Jupiter Hills golf club in Florida for 18 holes and plenty of chat about life on and off the course for confirmed golf nut Pratt.

So how does the Guardians of the Galaxy star deal with the greens? And we’ve seen him dealing with dinosaurs in Jurassic World but does he get many birdies?

First there’s an in-depth range session where Sir Nick gets his hands on, quite literally, the Hollywood movie star to help him improve his game, with almost instant results.

“Wow, how lucky am I that I’m getting a hands-on lesson from Sir Nick Faldo, this is the kind of stuff that every golf geek dreams of, it’s cool,” says Pratt.

“He’s the voice of the PGA Tour Sunday for me hearing him calling events – and then his attitude, he’s like this renegade Brit.

“When you think about golf it’s a gentleman’s sport, but really it’s a bunch of alpha males competing out here against each other and you get that sense from him – he’s like Liam Neeson to me.”

We find out all about Pratt’s experience in the game, including a brilliant Tiger Woods story from playing at the Genesis Invitational Pro-Am, and how the film star fell in love with golf.

“I became obsessed about five years ago, in my 20s I had a stretch of 12-15 months when I played a lot but never broke 100 so now I feel like I’m relatively obsessed. I’ve never broken 80 but I’ve touched it a few times and my index is about a nine.”

As always there are some good shots and some bad shots but once again we see why golf is the great leveller as it brings together one of the biggest movie stars in the world with one of the greatest golfers of all time – with plenty of common ground on the course.
