    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.

    The section where Poults plays off the path around 33 mins is just an absolute joy. Poults giving a ridiculous level of insight into why he chooses to play off the path when 99.9% of amateur golfers would just instinctively take the free drop (if available) without a second thought is an amazing lesson. Couple that with Rick just laughing in the background at how lucky he is to be getting that sort of insight from Poulter and then seeing Rick's sheer joy and amazement when Poults pulls the shot off exactly as he described (albeit not to his own incredibly high standards) is wonderful. Brilliant video Rick - thank you!

    I already liked Ian Poulter but now I Love him!
    As fans seeing pros talk us through the shots is always something we love to see (which is why Rick always asks the pros to talk us through it (thanks Rick always been a fan))
    But what Ian adds is his geniue caddying at a high level and Rick doesn't have to ask.
    I remember when Nick Faldo gave rick that wonderful piece of advice with the low 9 iron shot into the heavy wind but Rick basically had to beg for that and it felt like Nick reluctantly gave it because he is so competitive and I dont hate Nick for it . . . Thats his personality even against Rick he was there to win thats the way he is thats the mindset that won him Majors.
    And no Ian doesnt have a major but his ryder cup career alone and his reactions in that tournament show how competitive he is and how good he is in these one on one scenarios
    And we saw that competitive drive really kick him into gear at the death when Rick was somehow holding on (I mean that in the nicest way possible Rick but at one point I thought Ian was gonna need an 8 on the last to get it done)
    But dispite it going to the wire Ian still helps Rick (without asking) as a caddy genuinely to the best of his abilities.
    He also warned Rick about the 20ft spin at the end I felt like Rick didnt buy it because of how Ians landed.
    Either way we saw Ian change gears to close it out.
    Rick not your best round but I really applaud the way you played that last hole when the pressure was max and the confidence understandably knocked.
    And Ian . . . Thanks for adding so much to a series that already on its own delivers so much . . . You have set a benchmark for the pros that follow.
    Wish I could give this more than one like.
    Thanks Lads!

    @MattHowesonUK 8 місяців тому

    Great video, and insight into the mindset of a pro golfer, so open and honest. Love how Ian never seems to claim to be unlucky. When shots don't come out perfect he always owns them, "landed it too short" on hole 5, when he is fortunate the next hole he's equally quick to say it. It is so easy to believe you're unlucky all the time, when you are the only one in control. You generally make your own luck, a reminder for me that once you own that in golf, instead of blaming the golfing gods, your game can only improve!

  • @GreenDistantStar

    Poulter's recovery shot on 7 was simply awesome. But I'm reminded that we can all play a shot like that now and again, it's part of the wonder of golf, those 'glimpses of glory' that keep us coming back. Ian seems like a fun guy to play a round with, and hearing him talk through his mind-set as he plays is gold. One of your best ever course vlogs Rick, well done.

And what an “on course” lesson it was for you personally. They way he’s asked you to talk you through your club and shot selection and then offered his advice was first class. What an entertaining video series. Long may they continue.

      If there was a major conducted at match play, not strike play, he’d have hoisted that trophy multiple times.
      What was even better was how Ian worked with Rick Tom make on course corrections & walk us through how he thinks thru a shot
      This video was about double the time of the player 10 shot challenge. Ian was very giving of his time & must have enjoyed interacting with Rick for it to run this long.

  • @sixstringsandamike
    @sixstringsandamike 10 місяців тому

    A few take-aways:
    1) Aim small, miss small even counts on drives. I’m happy to hit a fairway, let alone actually intending it to finish somewhere more specific on said fairway;
    2) I only dream of a day when I could hit my irons as far as I now hit a driver off the tee;
    3) I wonder if I don’t think thru my options more before hitting recovery shots. Do I aim for a gap and try to draw it a little (good luck with that) or do I safely chip out onto the fairway for a clear shot instead? I usually opt for the safe out;
    4) I admire how top-tier golfers even hit bad shots but refrain from crumbling under a bad attitude and then hit fantastic follow-up shots, instead of (like me) hitting a bad shot that gets in my head, leading me to a horrible follow-up shot, etc.
    Great video on several levels…not just for its entertainment value! Thank you!

He has truly become one of my favorite golfers. Thanks for the opportunity to watch this Rick. Best..

    • @jcjbike
      @jcjbike 10 місяців тому

      No... he's not misunderstood at all. He is very well understood. He's got a bit of "jerk" in him and some people do. He's put that on display so many times over the years that it's not even debatable. I saw it up close at a US Open and thought, "come on dude... get a tighter grip of your horses." Is it life and death that Poulter is that way? No... I've known bigger jerks than him, but until he comes out and admits some of his past behavior could have been better, no reason for anyone else to do it.
      That said, I think HE should feel lucky he got to play a round with Rick Shiels. No one ever has to say "Rick Shiels is hugely misunderstood."
