Love watching you two together. Your on-course chemistry is great, and Iona is just fantastic. Should absolutely be an ongoing series. Everyone would watch.
This channel has changed my game entirely. Rick never seems frustrated. When I play now, I walk around commenting to an imaginary camera which oddly enough, keeps me pretty grounded and relaxed 😂😂
My brother and I played this course in 2009 during a tour of Ireland and Scotland. Thanks for bringing back some great memories Rick and Iona! Well played
Rick, Iona is great to have on the channel! I’m from the US and just wrapping up a Scottish golfing trip. Played Royal Aberdeen, Cruden Bay, Glen Eagle and Trump International. Heading to London tomorrow to play the Grove. Wonderful weather and phenomenal courses!
Two of the best personalities in golf! We need to see a Scramble or an Alternate Shot versus match with Rick & a LPGA tour pro vs. Iona & a PGA tour pro. My vote would be Rick + Nelly Korda vs. Iona + Max Homa. Or keep it UK-based with Rick + Georgia Hall vs. Iona + Tommy Fleetwood. Would make for some must-watch content!
Paused to wholeheartedly agree with Iona. When you can see for miles there's something about that that's just good for the soul. Haven't watched it all yet, but it's a promising start for what looks like a cracking team 🤞🍿 Well done Rick, you're a ledge
Rick, you authentically make my life better. I am so thankful and happy for your videos and the good energy you bring. You'll probably not read this - but if your ever find yourself doubting, know that your videos have made me happy and they are appreciated. You are a hole in one bud! Keep up the good work.
Fantastic video! I am thrilled to see and hear Iona again!! Such a classy lady and fabulous golfer. She's an inspiration and positive role model who doesn't have to compromise herself in order to gain attention with cheesy click bait. The collaboration with you two is truly phenomenal. THANK YOU!!!! ⛳️
You can see why Iona's broadcasting career is taking off. One of the most watchable sports commentators around right now. That distinctive voice, intelligence and positivity. Can others please take note. It's not about always finding a critique or a shcoking comment.
Rick, judging by the comments, I think you may need to make Iona an honourary ambassador of Rick Shiels Golf. What an absolute gem she is. Also, is there anyway she could get you on comms for the DP world tour? You two would be ridiculously entertaining together! Another crackerjack video. Course looked bloomin amazing!
Top top guest in Iona. Really enjoyed the lights out break 75 round - and oddly, enjoyed seeing you both play some relatable golf. A little refresher before you come back and knock the course for 6!
Absolutely splendid! Loved every bit of it, especially the scenery. The love-leh Iona is always a pleasure to watch and the two of you get along famously. Please do it again . . . and again.
Just watched Nelly Korda play the CP Woman's open and then flipped to your channel and then saw Iona. I thought I saw Nelly Korda's twin sister!! lol. They looks so alike. Adore the friendship and golf skills of you both!
Iona's comment about playing a course for the first time is spot on. Unless you have a caddie or forecaddie you are inevitably going to make some poor decisions (yes, yes we all make poor decisions during a golf round, but these will be really obviously bad poor decisions). That's why if you are playing an unfamiliar resort course that cost a boatload of money it would behove you to pay the additional dollars for a caddie or forecaddie. Makes the round much more enjoyable.
If you go back and listen to the video, you will hear Iona say that she HAD played the course several years before and even remembered a few of the holes. Certainly, if someone is playing their home course which they may know like the back of their hand they could be expected to play it well but some their not shooting 65 was just not great play on their behalf.
Great dynamic between you both, so enjoyable to watch. Iona is a fantastic guest, intelligent, incredibly beautiful, great golfer and just about the nicest person ever.
Iona is a pleasure to listen to on EA Sports PGA Tour. I wish she was the main anouncer. I always enjoy her color commentary on the DP World Tour as well. It was great to watch the voice play the game and form the dream team. I'm going to have to find her channel now. Thanks, Rick.
This was a fun one to watch! As a female golfer, I'll never be that good but it would have been interesting to hear what clubs she was using. I only had heightened awareness to this because you do an exceptional job stating distances, clubs and where you're aiming when you play! Love your channel 💕
Another great collab with possibly the sweetest person I have ever seen. She just puts a smile on my face every time I see her. Please more vids with Iona.
Big smile on my face when I saw Iona on the video today... she is fun to watch and never gets down... great job for never playing it before... lots of bunkers
Glad you enjoyed that round Rick, because I did. Tough course in tough winds, I think you both did well. Love the Break 75 and Scramble videos, either with Iona or Guy, good viewing and fun to watch.
Love the videos with Rick exposing calves as pale as mine 😂 Also LOVE the videos with Iona! Such a great, smooth swing. Great vibes, awesome person. Hope to see both of you do more videos together! I'm certain everyone here agrees
Iona's energy is so great an contagious 😊. Also had an idea, what if you played a 2 man scramble format with yourself? Kinda along the lines of the mulligan video.
What a classy lady Iona is and an excellent golfer as well you should definitely have her on the channel more often. Great video as always and Gullen is a fantastic golf course.
Guy is cute cute and whatever but Iona is amazing!!!! I love how much she enjoys the WALK as much of the golf. She absolutely gets it! Big fan of Iona and Rick amazing content as always but Iona is manic on the channel!!!! Cheers @IonaStephen !!!!
Great course. Great guest. Great golf. Really good video. Hope everythings been alright with Iona. Really good seeing her on your channel again. Would love to see you both take on some more East coast Scotland courses.
Great video. I’ve played Gullane #2 and #3 but not yet managed the #1 course despite living only 20 miles away. You and Iona play great together and are a joy to watch
Glad you enjoyed Gullane.. I've been a member there for over 30 years and I still love walking into that 7th tee. Every single time I stop and am amazed by the view. One of the best in golf. For anyone that's reading this, Muirfield is about 1 mile away and really pretty from the top of the hill.
Another fantastic video folks. I had a feeling you shouldn't have laughed at Iona leaving the put on 9 short. Karma is a bugger. Man does she strike the ball so pure. More of her please. I think you should also have a 3 or 4 man scramble with you, Guy,Iona, and Possibly James Robinson to see how low you can go.
Rick, we need more Iona on the channel she is just wonderful
Iona to take over at the R & A after Martin Slumbers retires. 👍
yes shes beautiful inside and out.
@@moedark4390 she is
Couldn't agree more!
Don't you mean we need "a wee bit" more of her?
Iona is the vibe goat! She’s the type of people anyone would love to play golf with. Super intelligent and fun as all get out. Cheers
Iona is such a classy, graceful woman. Never get tired of her on the channel.
The perfect way to get through a slow Friday at work! Absolutely loved your last Break 75 together - Iona is an absolute treasure.
Hope you’re the boss
I could listen to/watch Iona read a scorecard for 25 minutes and be happy. lol Love the collabs with her!
Iona is the best guest you have! I love it when she comes on your channel. What a talent. What a great collaboration!
Thanks so much for having me back Rick!! See you again soon :) and Gullane, we will be back!
Love watching you two together. Your on-course chemistry is great, and Iona is just fantastic. Should absolutely be an ongoing series. Everyone would watch.
Love the chemistry between the both of you. Really adds a great layer of excitement and feel good to the video. Thanks Rick and Iona
"Chemistry"
👉👌
The presence of Iona and her hearth warming smile brings me joy! You guys have a great vibe going, we at least a quarterly Iona special!
This channel has changed my game entirely. Rick never seems frustrated. When I play now, I walk around commenting to an imaginary camera which oddly enough, keeps me pretty grounded and relaxed 😂😂
Whenever I hit a terrible shot I always turn and give a dead pan look to the camera that isn’t there 😂😂
Have you started saying "C'mon Shielsy" to pump yourself up during a round yet?
Same lmaoooooo
On camera. How many takes do you think it takes to remain so composed 🤔😅
@@Hunters_Dawn1
I've been so looking forward to the Iona reunion, the dynamic is just iconic.
My brother and I played this course in 2009 during a tour of Ireland and Scotland. Thanks for bringing back some great memories Rick and Iona! Well played
These scramble videos have been amazing to watch. There's a level of freedom and enjoyment in Rick's play
ㅣ
Rick, Iona is great to have on the channel!
I’m from the US and just wrapping up a Scottish golfing trip. Played Royal Aberdeen, Cruden Bay, Glen Eagle and Trump International. Heading to London tomorrow to play the Grove. Wonderful weather and phenomenal courses!
Rick!!! You are amazing... love you! but, OMG Iona, what an energy, what a smile!! Love you even more than Rick!!
Iona's strike contact is a beautiful sound, so pure
Iona is a joy. I could play the rest of my golfing life teeing it up with her. That smile and giggle, suddenly an OOB seems so bearable.
Iona is just a delight. Love when she is a guest on Rick’s channel. 💎 A gem for sure.
Iona Stephen is an absolutely lovely person. I could watch her all day long. Her smile is amazing, as is her golf game. Swoon.
I love Iona! For her to be the new voice of EA Sports PGA Tour was a lovely surprise.
She’s got the best accent, it’s so nice to hear. We need more Iona, Rick!
Two of the best personalities in golf!
We need to see a Scramble or an Alternate Shot versus match with Rick & a LPGA tour pro vs. Iona & a PGA tour pro. My vote would be Rick + Nelly Korda vs. Iona + Max Homa. Or keep it UK-based with Rick + Georgia Hall vs. Iona + Tommy Fleetwood.
Would make for some must-watch content!
that would be fun but iona & t-dawg would destroy lol
Rick + Nelly Korda vs. Iona + Max Homa sounds like the best match ever .. :)
Rick & Tommy vs Iona & Linn Grant
Iona is such a sweetheart - nice looking, fun, classy, AND a great golfer.
Paused to wholeheartedly agree with Iona. When you can see for miles there's something about that that's just good for the soul. Haven't watched it all yet, but it's a promising start for what looks like a cracking team 🤞🍿 Well done Rick, you're a ledge
I love it when Rick plays with Iona. Great chemistry and she is darling (lovely).
Great to see Iona on the channel with you! She brings so much personality and fun to the game. Easy to see why she's a commentator.
So glad to see Iona on you tube again I even miss her videos from her Channel. We love you too Rick!
Glad to see Iona back! She is great 👏🏻 looking forward to this one
Yeah love her golf stuff. Fun fact: she has her nipples pierced.
Great Guest!! She’s so engaging and outgoing. She and Guy as well would be a lot of fun going back and forth with the commentary
She's a real joy with a great energy. Beautiful scenery on that course too.
Respect for whoever fixed the audio. As a former video editor, know how tricky that must have been.
Rick, you authentically make my life better. I am so thankful and happy for your videos and the good energy you bring. You'll probably not read this - but if your ever find yourself doubting, know that your videos have made me happy and they are appreciated. You are a hole in one bud! Keep up the good work.

Your chemistry and friendship makes videos with Iona just a pleasure to watch. Thanks for this.
Wow, what a course and what a ferfect guest to play golf with, I could listen to Iona all day, perfect start to my day 🍀

It's always a pleasure to watch Iona play. She's awesome!
I love Iona, I love this format, i love this combination of you 2 playing together. We need more of Iona on the channel 🏌️♂️
Just watched Nelly Korda play the CP Woman's open and then flipped to your channel and then saw Iona. I thought I saw Nelly Korda's twin sister!! lol. They looks so alike. Adore the friendship and golf skills of you both!
I think we all would love to play with Iona . She can’t help but make you smile.
What a wonderful attitude Iona has! Brings out the best of others. An incredible attribute
Feeling a bit down at the moment and this video lifted me up and put a smile on my face, great vibes form both of you get Iona back soon
Wow, really love Iona! This was my first introduction, just found her and subscribed! Great match
Iona just brings great energy to the channel. Glad you had her back on! 🔥
We cant get enough of Iona & Rick!!!! LOVELEH!! More please.
I absolutely love Iona’s energy and chat. She would be great fun to play golf with. Great video

Nothing better on You Tube than a Rick/Iona round - love her!
More Iona please!! She is such a great personality with you, absolutely made my day ❤
As an American, I really appreciate the different vocabulary from these two. ‘Wee bit’ and ‘lovely’ I think I need to work in when playing lol
Great dynamic between you both, so enjoyable to watch. Iona is a fantastic guest, intelligent, incredibly beautiful, great golfer and just about the nicest person ever.
The hole 12 drone shot with the tracer was spectacular! Iona is a class guest.
Iona is a pleasure to listen to on EA Sports PGA Tour. I wish she was the main anouncer. I always enjoy her color commentary on the DP World Tour as well. It was great to watch the voice play the game and form the dream team. I'm going to have to find her channel now. Thanks, Rick.
Subscribed! Love the studio first year back at golf after my injury your videos got me through the hard times ❤️
Lovely video. Now, I think we need a match - Rick & Iona, Guy and James...
Really enjoyed this , the way you’s shoot / edit your course vlogs is the best out there by a mile !! And Iona is a gem 🙌
I have to echo everyone here. Iona, is just incredible. In love with her. Absolute pleasure watching you two, great screen chemistry good work Rick,,
This was a fun one to watch! As a female golfer, I'll never be that good but it would have been interesting to hear what clubs she was using. I only had heightened awareness to this because you do an exceptional job stating distances, clubs and where you're aiming when you play! Love your channel 💕
She played a 9iron out the rough at 130 if that helps you 😊
Another great collab with possibly the sweetest person I have ever seen. She just puts a smile on my face every time I see her. Please more vids with Iona.
Such great chemistry between you both! thanks for this :)
Big smile on my face when I saw Iona on the video today... she is fun to watch and never gets down... great job for never playing it before... lots of bunkers

Iona is delightful....just so entertaining watching you both play together.
Iona is by far my favourite golf personality on the planet!! 🌏
Love the videos with Rick exposing calves as pale as mine 😂
Also LOVE the videos with Iona! Such a great, smooth swing. Great vibes, awesome person. Hope to see both of you do more videos together! I'm certain everyone here agrees
I love the simplicity of Iona's swing. So effortless.
Need to get Iona and James in the same video! They are my favorite guests you have on the channel by far!
Rick and Iona golf videos are absolutely my favorite in the genre.
Absolutely love this woman….
So genuine 😍
Absolutely brilliant. Love you two together (jealous) as you just bond so well.
Iona and Rick are a great pair! Iona is wonderful there’s something about her that keeps you wanting more of her! ❤❤❤
Iona's energy is so great an contagious 😊.
Also had an idea, what if you played a 2 man scramble format with yourself? Kinda along the lines of the mulligan video.
Definitely need to keep Iona appearing on the channel. Love the video!!
Whoa...I Love Iona...need more content of Iona...take a back seat Rick please..
What a classy lady Iona is and an excellent golfer as well you should definitely have her on the channel more often. Great video as always and Gullen is a fantastic golf course.
Great to see Iona back. She's a natural on youtube.
Great to see Iona back on the channel. She's got vibes for days
New studio looks amazing!! Just created every golfers dream! Can't wait to watch even more great videos on the new channel
Guy is cute cute and whatever but Iona is amazing!!!! I love how much she enjoys the WALK as much of the golf. She absolutely gets it!
Big fan of Iona and Rick amazing content as always but Iona is manic on the channel!!!!
Cheers @IonaStephen !!!!
Great course. Great guest. Great golf. Really good video. Hope everythings been alright with Iona. Really good seeing her on your channel again. Would love to see you both take on some more East coast Scotland courses.
Great video. I’ve played Gullane #2 and #3 but not yet managed the #1 course despite living only 20 miles away. You and Iona play great together and are a joy to watch
Good to see Iona back, she has an amazing spirit and she makes the game look easy 👍
This video got a like before I watched it, purely because Iona is in! She is wonderful!!!
Rick an iona need to do more content its always entertaining, enjoy watching it .
Iona hasn’t played much golf, hops out the taxi and hits a perfect drive followed by an immaculate chip. Lordy!
Iona seems like such a pleasure to play with great content Rick
Iona is a gem! Love seeing her on the channel.
i love Iona shes cool and so fun and beautiful and so good at golf can't wait to see report at the open
Love your scramble videos with Iona!! Would love to see more of these types of videos.
Glad you enjoyed Gullane.. I've been a member there for over 30 years and I still love walking into that 7th tee. Every single time I stop and am amazed by the view. One of the best in golf. For anyone that's reading this, Muirfield is about 1 mile away and really pretty from the top of the hill.
An episode with Iona is always a win! Bit unfortunate there but WAY BETTER than a lot of us 😅 great video guys
Just what I needed next!
I actually just watched the 10 Mulligan, Break 65 episode, which I thought was a blast.
The Guest we All Needed!
Another fantastic video folks. I had a feeling you shouldn't have laughed at Iona leaving the put on 9 short. Karma is a bugger. Man does she strike the ball so pure. More of her please. I think you should also have a 3 or 4 man scramble with you, Guy,Iona, and Possibly James Robinson to see how low you can go.
Watching the first 10 seconds and any bad mood is gone. Editing is top notch already.
Amazing! For me my favorite, of all your playing partners . What a fantastic vibe. This video was over to quick. Please more golf with Iona
