Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This UA-cam channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.
Friday 4pm, Break75, the weekend starts here
oh yeahh!!!
Yeah I want to know what everyone shoots
@@stuartellison6895 After 4pm?.....75..+30....ish
@@hatemondays I think he replied to the wrong comment, the one under it is asking for the others scores
@@stuartellison6895 I'm struggling to break 80 at the moment.
I typically shoot in the mid 80s
With the occasional low 80s and shocking high 70s
I'm not far away but I will get there.
It's all about being a little more aggressive on the course.
Rick its great to see your game improving this year....note to the editor: can we see the guests scores like we see Rick's? It would be great to see what Guy or whoever is at along with Rick.
Yeah I agree
Totally
Yeah I second this.
I 3rd this
Ya
Rick if your including your partner in commentary and select shots. It would be nice to see his scores after each hole as well.
Great series 👏, would like to see distances and club selection in the top right with the score 👍
Big props to you Rick for that 150 mile walk for prostate cancer. I'm battling it and it spread to my pelvis and lower back. You're giving people faith in humanity again. Good man! 👍
Just saw this comment my man. Hope all is going well for you and your family. Make sure to reach out to loved ones. You are not, and you are never alone. Much love
@@jackpowers5707 Thank you. I appreciate that. You are proof that there are a lot more good people in the world
Hope you have a speedy recovery man. Then back onto that golf course!
@@thecurtis6382 get well soon my friend speedy recovery to you
@@charlescraw2927 Thank you Charles. The diagnosis was bleak, but I'm still here! I appreciate the well wishes
Great video Rick! The video quality looks amazing. Props to the film crew
It doesn’t matter how much I play this game it never ceases to amaze me how just a bit of confidence can make you play so much better
You have to get in the zone, relax, breath, see the shot in your mind before hitting it. It's hard to stay there when a round takes 5 or 6 hours to play but you only need to do it when hitting the shot. I'm 64 started playing when I was 7, I play my best when I'm aggressive and relaxed, hit the ball go get the ball and not be too concerned about much else.
@@Pulse2AM I’m only 22, but have been playing for roughly 10 years. The biggest struggle I’ve been dealing with now is that I’m concerned about keeping up with the group in front like you should be, but in a slow round I don’t take enough time on lining up putts even though I have all the time in the world
@@ryanhnatowich1085 Do you have a pre-shot routine? Mine is take one or two practice swings to get a feel for the lay of the land, stand behind the ball and pick my target, what kind of shot I want to hit, visualize it, then step up and execute. Putting is not much different, I don't read from the side, the back then the other side only from behind the ball looking at the hole. Local knowledge helps though if you play the same course a lot you get that knowledge. There are some good books on sports and visualization, worth picking one up as the mind is a powerful force in sports and golf. I'm a 7 handicap, would be lower if I were able to practice and play more.
@@Pulse2AM Not trying to one up or anything, but im currently a 5 handicap. I havent been able to shoot as good this year because the club im a member at is redoing their range so i havent been able to warm up before rounds. I have a pre shot routine for all shots. Inside 80 yards ish and putts, I do practice swings, but not for full length shots. Full swing shots I kinda stand behind the ball and visualize how i want to hit the shot then just line up and hit it
@@ryanhnatowich1085 That means on a good day you're shooting a 73/74 so what's the problem? LOL
After the first 11 holes I was like “I’m so excited to get out and play some golf!” After the end I thought “mmm, maybe I’ll just go to the range for a bit.”
I have never and never will choose a range over time on an actual course lmao that is blasphemy
If you dont have the stamina 18 holes can be too much. 9 holes much more doable
@@JP-rw5cd that’s usually a big difference between amateurs and pros. The pros choose range all day
@@scottcamuto8410 love me a 9 hole course
@@ThrillerTTV I just don't have enough time to do both so I'd rather be out there ,wish I had more time unfortuantly
The camera work and editing is so good omg and i just love Guy. Just one small suggestion: Maybe also show your Guests Scores if they are fine with that.
Fun fact: everyone praising the video so far has not finished it yet
there is fast forward ya know
Haha 😂
Here is why we love Rick…tee shot in the pot bunker against the wall:
“You absolute idiot.”
Love these videos. I wish we could see the clubs they are using in the scoreboard animation. I know it would be a nightmare logistically but it would be helpful. Thanks to Rick and the team for cranking out quality videos!!!!!!
Conclusion:
Never take break when you have the momentum going.....never.....
Don't get me wrong I love the format of these, but every once in a while a course vlog style break 75 with you and Guy would be awesome! I am personally fond of Guy and think he brings a lot to the channel and (if he wants) deserves more camera time! Cheers
no fu*ck Guy, dude's annoying af - dont listen to him Rick
He shoots better than Rick, can’t have that
To be fair I'd like to see a proper course vlog with you both too
I feel the same way! Really love watching Guy’s game and the two have great chemistry together.
I agree 100%
The camera work, the production, the commentary. Everything about this series has been great keep it up Rick!
11:25 is what you want for the almost hole in one, I’d stay and watch the whole great video
Love the content and know it’s all about you breaking 75, but would love to have the score of whoever you play with on the screen at points. Just an idea 💡 keep up the good work and good luck with huge task of your walk
Would also like to know what tees they are playing from
I'd like to know what toothpaste they use
@@jeffbienstock9146 He said at the beging we are playing from red which is the back back tees.............
@@Monkeypole 😂
"I feel like a young Seve".
*thins shot into thick rough*
This is every single golfer out there when they get their confidence up and then get humbled😂
It’s beginning to become my routine to watch the new episode every Friday during my lunch break. Phenomenal series, Rick!
right there with u. great little pick me up halfway thru the work day
Add that with a lunch from Domino's, and you got the best afternoon anyone can ask for......
Rick you have to try tulfarris in Ireland
I wish the production wasn't so rushed. Would like to see more of the pre shot setup and Guys swings and scores as well. We wait along time for these for them to feel so sped up and rushed.
Totally agree more like the old vids, it's like Rick is looking at dude perfect and other American UA-camrs who try to cater for people with 2 second attention spans
I don’t play golf but love your videos, I’ve got my first try at the local golf range next week thought I’d give it a try thanks to your videos 👍🏻
Have fun!
@@deepee1544 cheers 😊
When you book a round how much time do you ask to do all filming or do people play through???
Also, well in on your Walk 150 👏
The editing is getting so good on these videos!! Great round on a tough course. Your game is improving each week. Keep the videos coming. I sooooo look forward to them every Friday.
I think Season Three of Break 75 needs to be a U.S. tour.
Rick could probably get on agusta if he asks
That finish at St.Andrews was UNBELIEVABLE!!! 🥳⛳💪
Can’t believe that shot on the par 3 OMG!! I can’t believe how well you’re playing atm. You certainly deserve it pal
Great opening 9. Back side? Well...how about a break 80 with Guy? Thanks for the video mates. 🍻✌🏻⛳
Just love this series.... its the best one on YT.
Love Guy's celebrations in the back ground as well. I feel tour pro's caddies should be more like Guy !!
Hello I would love to play golf with you I am a young kid and I started golf a few months ago and I am pretty good so I would love to play with you
This series is such a rollercoaster ride, just fun to watch. Great content, love it!
It's funny I got paired with these 2 elderly ladies this morning and while I was striking the ball good the first few holes my short game was atrocious. Anyway the one lady goes "Do you take lessons, if not I think they can really help you, I can give you the card to my instructor?" and I said something to the effect of "no but I definitely could use them, I get most of my instruction from youtube" and she immediately asked "Do you follow Rick Shiels?" I of course said yes and we chatted a bit about your videos. For not playing that well it was a real enjoyable round of golf.
Love your videos mate. You are single handedly the reason I care about golf again, respect the living hell out of you for showing us equally all the good with the bad along the way. Immense for growing the sport, cheers on your future endeavors
Last video you got the greatest break ever on the 18th tee, the Golf Gods remembered that and made sure to make up for it on the 18th this time!
Rick's videos + my Dad's clubs = playing twice a week for past three months. So hooked!
Also like watching you with Guy, Peter, Matt...and of course the Dale brothers!
-2 thru 11, +6 for the final 7 holes. I blame no sausage roll at the break. Kit Kat and water, never again. Jane did apologize because she knew what was going to happen without the roll.
Really enjoying these videos. Fascinating to see the ups & downs of your rounds. The struggle is real! Think everyone can relate at different levels!
Great vid, don't stop at the halfway house you lose momentum! :)
The difference in Rick's attitude from the first couple of episodes compared to the last 2 episodes is night and day. Love to see him take the good with the bad and simply enjoy the game of golf.
Great video as ever. Pity you didn’t mention Georgia Hall winning 2018 women’s Open at Lytham too
Great round Rick and Guy!! Thank you so much for everything you both do for Golf!!!
75 with no sausage roll counts as breaking 75
This content is exactly what we want! Love watching this series Rick. Incredible videos.
Rick, I'm on a trip next week at Muirfield and Carnoustie among others. Any tips?
You should giveaway your other 'slot' in the Break75 series to viewers rather than just playing with Guy every time. Would add something a bit different to see what other golfers would put as their target and also incentivise more people to watch and interact in the videos!
No offence to Guy, by the way!!! 😅
Good idea, but I do love watching Rick and Guy play together
That would be a sick idea!
First
Ok and
Who asked
After the front 9 I was rooting for you to shoot your best score, I definitely think the break in play changed the tide of your game. It's coming together though, the extra practicing is paying off.
Love Lytham. Watched Monty warm up on the practice round probably twenty five years ago or thereabouts . Stunning. John Daly alongside. His caddy (early in the morning) wandered off and got two huge hamburgers. I assumed one each but, no. Two for the incredible Daly.
Both hit the ball bloody miles.
Rick, your recovery game on the last 5 holes (ignoring the first bunker shot on 18) was absolutely brilliant. Watching your videos have made me a much better player and I’m sure it’s done the same for many other golfers.Keep up the good work!
So 2 under wanting a sausage roll, a horror show when there weren't any. Hmmm, not a good advert for kitkat.🤣
Damn sausage roll jinx! Can you put both scores going forward?
12:50 THE FUNDAMENTAL FLAWS OF RICK'S SWING:
his head starts to wobble too much during the downswing, and his right shoulder sways too much forwards right after impact with ball.
What the fuck would you know? A wobbling head means absolutely nothing if the club face is in the right place at impact.
The last 6 holes were more of Rick vs Rick 😂
Amazing man
Right when I first started playing when I was 13-14 met an old man on the course that taught me what he deemed the 7 iron chip, for that small gap where you need some back spin over a small rut up onto the green. Used it all the time in my school tourney days and always got the weirdest looks but snagged many eagle and birdies with it. One of my favorite plays
I have a proven secret method for never hitting a bunker: I pretend it's the green.
Seems like on this course you should have brought your 70 degree wedge haha
my gradfarther lives in lytham and i was so exited when i saw your video
Putting the 3 wood is a pro move. Purpose over pride!
Well played Rick, golf always amazes me. Still can’t believe you didn’t chip out sideways on the 18th, we’ve all done it in the heat of the moment we make bad decisions when watching it at home I was literally shouting at the phone “take your medicine” also shows how a break in concentration and momentum can make you lose your rhythm. You were literally on fire 🔥 until the halfway house. Again I’ve been there so many times but watching someone do it on film gives it more impact and will make me more aware of my decisions in future rounds
Another great video Rick...Fantastic front 9!...Would have loved to see the Hummingbird in your bag, think it may have saved you a couple of shots???
Love the work you are doing for prostate cancer
The editing was spectacular on this video, kudos to your guy Rick. He's doing good work. I tried to write a review raving about Jane on the golf clubs page but I wasn't able to leave a review!
Great round……better than the score represents. A couple of bad holes ate your score up but you should be feeling pretty happy with the round.
@RickShielsGolf👉Telegram only Did you seriously want me to PM you or is this some sort of auto replay?
Had the opportunity to play here with a member 21 years ago just before the Open Championship. 30 mph winds for the whole round. Found 4 bunkers in my round and had to come out sideways or backwards on all of them! The next day I played the Old Course.
Watching that round it is obvious that the intimidation factor affected you massively for the front nine against Lee Westwood
You’re getting there Rick! Love the content. And I love your shoes! What kind of kicks are those?!
Played the 12th the way I play all my par 3s
What’s Guy off? He looks decent 😎
Anyone noticed the good golf stops as soon as Rick starts talking absolute fresh air “I feel like young Seve” then all the talk about the best bounceback birdie ever 😂
feelin like young seve (proceeds to knife it through the back) 😆. Love these vlogs so entertaining :D
“What have I done?”
I bet Adam Scott was thinking the exact same thing back in 2012. That tee shot he hit broke my heart 😢
1:15 best part 😂🤣 (and no cut too!)
Beautiful course and a good round. You didn't ask but if I were you I would club up from 150/130 to 100 yards and swing easier, you should be hitting relatively straight balls from that distance but your missing wide of the greens. It just looks like your going all out on those shots and then a miss is a big miss.
Another great vid rick! Keep up the hard work :)
Would love to see an episode with a pro or ex pro doing the golf bidder challenge!!
What people don’t realise about this course (if they haven’t played it) is how brilliantly placed the bunkers are. Even what appears to be a brilliant shot can easily get caught up in the undulations and end up in fatal positions. This is a very tough course.
This was maybe one of my favorite #Break75 videos this year, I really enjoyed watching the front 9 holes but i also appreciated that, despite several difficult holes back-to-back, you were able to maintain a positive attitude and good vibes. Great video, great golf!
How amazing...
2.2 million subscribers for a happy chap like us over 18...
Tell me I'm wrong?
Fu#king legend 🙏🙌
Rick you played well this week just keep playing well! And get to play such beautiful courses that I could only imagine playing living here in US
Rick, when you're chipping and thinning it... your practice swings look TOTALLY different to your actual chip.
Do you think that's hurting your chipping form?
174 bunkers…
Did you include the bunkers on the short course?😉😉
Links over parkland all day every day and twice on Sundays👍🏻👍🏻
18th Hole ricks putt: 🕳
Me: LETS GOOOOOOO RICK!
My Wife: um who is Rick and why are you watching golf on your phone and the TV.
🤷🏻♂️
I've been binging all your vids for the last month or two. Wish I discovered you sooner. My game is slowly improving, thanks Rick.
Wow. Bro. “The Wink” at the beginning. My fav spot. I will say… get her done my bro. “That is golf.” Rick Shiels.
“It’s why we play.” Me. ✌️❤️🤘
Pick for “The Open?” (Yes. Real question.)
Good golf shots no matter the skill level feel so amazing and such a confidence boost. They keep you coming back! Thanks for the content Rick. Can’t wait for the break 70 series, because you’re playing some great golf. keep it up! 👏🏼
SPOILER ALERT!!!! 17:30 ish… “double bogie… back to level par”…. What! I’d be so stoked with a double and still be at even! I love this channel lol.
Rick, with all due respect, you won't make it as a proper tour pro. You play WAAAAAYYYYYYY TOOOOOOOOOO many "Safety shots". There is no use in playing safety shots when it's definitely not required. 2nd hole is an example. Stop playing safe and start risking it. It'll be a win win, cause you'll be making the content more fun to watch. LEAVE THE LONG IRONS AT HOME AND START USING HYBRIDS. 1,2 AND 3 IRONS ARE USELESS
Wow, the production in this really is amazing - great work from you and the team, Rick!!
Rick, PLEASE HELP. I'm a 10 handicap been playing since I was 5. I've become so inconsistent with my irons with a steep down swing, I'm about to put the bag in the closet for good. So frustrated.
Knowing your liking for Championship courses, when are you going to visit Royal St Davids Golf course Harlech Wales.
Half Way House was your doom. Broke your MOJO. But meeting Jane was a bonus. Love your channel.
I have an idea for a new series. Exposure for Golf UA-cam channels that are just starting out and only have three subscribers. Let me join as a “Presented by Rick Shiels “ ???? I’m a midheaded copper left-handed mildly obese golf addict that can’t weld anymore. … ring me up ! NH 🇺🇸 thanks.
What's it cost to play a course like that? The average public muni around me is $36-42 USD to play 18 with a cart on the weekends. "Fancy" courses can easily be $90-150. Courses the PGA touch are probably triple that or more.
Ah Ricky, "Would you look at this rough?" Come on, wispy, patchy, thin rough...The course I play has decided to combat high gasoline prices by drastically reducing the mowing rotation of the first cut and rough in half, maybe less if the truth be told... I would LOVE, LOVE to have the rough you pointed out ... Just sayin'... But superb vid as always...
bring back the sausage rolls review. IM GOING TO RIOT if I don't get a sausage roll review.
A wonderful 75 on a championship course, on a beautiful day, playing with one of your best mates. A memorable day to relish and enjoy! Well done Rick.
Watching this Saturday arvo! Lovely 18 degrees.
Cheers from Adelaide, Australia
Rick. Your bad holes always happen when you focus on desired outcome and don’t just focus on your technique! Classic example, the two holes after the break!
Hey Rick, enjoyed watching this. If you're ever in the lake district area there is a golf club on Walney Island, Barrow in Furness called Furness Golf Club. A Par 71 Links Course which I think you would have a challenge to break 75 on.
