Nick Faldo was born 1957 in Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, England. Nick showed an early interest in sports and his parents, Joyce and George, helped him in any way they could. When he wanted to play tennis his father booked a tennis instructor for him, when he got interested in swimming his father got him into a club and it was the same with athletics and cycling.
