Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This UA-cam channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!
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!
I came for the beard comments and they didn't disappoint 😂😂😂
Rick, sorry to bring that up but what the heck happened with your beard ?!
Rick asked for a dogleg right in the barbers
Drunk shaving?
Is it me or does Guy look like crash bandicoot
I just assumed he actually WAS Crash Bandicoot.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Roland Rat
😂😂😂
Cant unsee this now 😂
Love your channel Rick. Sort the beard out pal 😂
Rick - 0 … Barber - 1
Rickie is used to halving holes, his barber is apparently used to halving beards
Rick, have you started going to a Turkish Barber?
Rick, what's going on with the 'Geography teacher' beard?
Beard above the jawline just screams "oops!".
Bro is a Volvo and Tweed jacket away
Whoever done that line on his jaw needs a new job. 😂
Yeah I saw this the other day on the hit channel and fuck me I thought its Craig David from 2012
Sack the barber for sure 😂!
Can’t even comment on the quality of the video Rick, that beard is hanging on for dear life
I'm convinced that if Rick has a poor warmup on the range, he just changes from break 75 to break 65 with Guy haha
Rick feeling himself talking about record breaking scores like a pro golfer and then spraying one out of bounds is par for the course.
@@jakehmckernan1 They always talk a good game.
That's what a scramble is all about...don't like other people enjoying themselves them?
Usually it's the courses fault 😂 His patter is horrificly bad to cover up his bad play
Rick too scared to do breaking 75 so he needs Guy to hold his hand again!
@Steviemac05 I love it when he says "pulled that one a little bit" and the ball is two holes over to the left, hard to watch now,managed 5 minutes of this before leaving (3 minutes of that was in the comments lol)
Christ, who butchered Ricks beard😮
The backside reminds me of a chiwawa after getting a hair cut
I’d imagine Rick lol. Probably thinks it looks slimming
@@jakehmckernan1 needs to find a new barber
@@TomCollett 100% that’s an absolute hack job. I just don’t know how he looked in the mirror and thought that was the look
🕶️🦯
I love the mic'ed heavy breathing and grunts... really pleasing to the ear.
😂😂😂
Also, I am surprised Rick has held onto the Cobra Dark Speed... ever since speed training with Bryson he has focused so much on club speed and pure distance but he has given up SO much accuracy as a result. Bring back the PING G425 it served so much better for his tee shots.
i agree, add speed with the same driver instead of cheating speed with a faster driver
You are wrong. It doesn’t matter what he hits. He’s become so obsessed with hitting a horrible hook.
As if the forgiveness of a driver would save that hook...
what is going on with that beard rick 🤣🤣
Such an amazing golf course, and just 30 minutes from my house!
Very underrated, definitely worthy of the Open in a couple of years time.
The changes will make it even tougher to play.
Nice one Rick! 👏
Underrated? Its had ten Open Championships played on it :)
Proper mugged john off at the start 😂
Everyone's noticed the Beard Wig Rick. Back to the drawing board. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beard looks like a geography teacher
Blind college let one of its students cut Ricks beard!
First hole and two big observations. Guy's shoe game is on point, and Rick whoever did that to your beard DO NOT GO BACK!😮
I like the editing, because when they will make the putt, we get a bit of music to say sth good is about to happen. Guy was really spot on with the drives.
The only thing to break in this video is Rick's razor halfway through his shave
It's a good thing Rick had a partner today!!
Couldn’t take eyes off the beard 😂
It’s so distracting 😂
Rick ever-so-slightly resents when Guy hits good shots or bags a birdie. There's just a hint of jealousy in his tone of voice and fixed, over-prolonged smile. 🤣
Ha ha spot on!
Possibly, and I like both lads. But I sometimes feel like Guy just passively rubs in in sometimes… actually both do.
and I'll say this - Guy actually has a way higher ceiling than Rick if he ever took himself and his golf just a little more seriously. Much better mechanics to his swing in general and his short game is light years better.
Speith didn't hit it onto the driving range on 13. He hit it up the dunes and took an unplayable back in line with the point his ball was, which took him onto the range. He then got relief from the tour trucks and hit a belta back over. I heard from a member that the practice ground is now out of bounds. If it happened again it would be back to the tee or 2 club lengths, back in line would still be in the rough.
Well said. I did wonder why they made changes to that hole but if the range is now OoB it makes sense.
Rick's beard looks like a bog brush.
I just LOVE watching scamble! Even if you didnt play your best it looked like you had way more fun than grinding on your own through the wind and not easy conditions. I grew up never really playing such formats but its such a fun way of playing. Would love to see more of it, maybe even a four scramble with Iona and James Robinson :)
One of the reasons why I love golf is a enjoy the grind of trying to get better, even if that means having a bad day of hitting, putting, whatever. Which is also why I like watching your content for the break 75’s. Not to put you all down at all, but it reminds me that not everyone is like Rory or Scotty. And even during scrambles, golf is just hard. Regardless of whether you break 75 or have a hard time breaking 80, I look forward to your content every week. Don’t listen to those keyboard crusaders who have negative things to say.
I like the video w/o music, who wants music when you are playing? The music is the club hitting the ball and going in the cup!
Is that the new Fat perez beart look?😮😊
This is the best comment ive seen with no likes in a awhile. Honored to be the first like
I love Rick. "18 over par after the front 9, but if we eagle every hole coming in we're back to level - let's go Guy!" :) Glass half full.
The beard is absolutely rascal Rick
Guy is the friend we all need.
“Breaking” the internet with that beard
Kudo’s for talking about the course, past history, and champions. It really adds colour for many of us who will never play there. Cheers!
I’m gonna rank that shave a solid +51 over par. Also really questioning Rick’s sense of judgement leaving the barber in that state…
Also, note to the editor: whenever the final edit feels good, go back and cut 50% of the screen time/audio from Guy and you have a good product.
Lol I prefer watching Rick's videos with Guy in it tbh
@@nigelkeu92nothing wrong with guy, but I am not subscribed to the Guy Golf channel. He used to be a good sidekick, now his mindless blabber is bleeding into main character….
That’s quite the beard trim Rick
Hole 16.....the first time in over 100 years someone has said out loud, "oh my golly gosh"!
That’s a man with a toddler at home! I’ve caught myself saying similar things when I’m golfing as well!
The beard is beyond destracting
Fine display of driving by Guy. 🤝👌
As always I am loving your content and the entertainment value and I must say that I have been catching up on your previous videos and Bryson with you fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Now looking forward to the beard discussion on the next podcast... ha ha. Always good to try new things out, but youtube vids really find you out! Damn... get that man a jumper with elbow patches.lol
Noel Edmond’s wants his beard back
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This deserves more love than its got.
It's got a bit of Beadle about it.
Played it a month back absolutely loved the redesigned back 9, great day and a special shout to the front of house staff esp Ian for making it a great day
Love Guy’s energy and positivity in this one. Really keeping the spirits up 😃
Totally overshadowed by your DIY beard trim 😂😂 go the barbers next time!! Great video as always
Of all the videos you do, these are the most enjoyable
8:44 when guy takes his approach shot there’s clearly one divot then the next shot at 8:55 when Rick takes his approach shot, there is clearly an extra divot …. Clearly taking multiple shots per spot and then picking the best one after editing.
@@blue24563 no you’re absolutely right. This is the first time I’ve seen it stand out so blatantly though, and I wasn’t even looking. I just happened to notice it.
@@blue24563 and the fact that they have to do this during a scramble is pathetic
no - that is clearly Guy's divot he walked to and brought back after he hit to replace after rick hits. you can see him walking towards it after he hits, and the divot up ahead is gone when rick is about to hit. you can also see rick replace it right after he hits. 🕵♂
@@jays699 That's the sensible, obvious and correct explanation, but it spoils the 'all UA-cam golfers edit everything to make themselves look good' theory favoured by various small-minded commenters so probably won't be accepted.
oh wow! the new bird's-eye view off hole 1's tee is OUTSTANDING! please continue to film in this manner as it's so much more watchable!!!
Anyone else think that Rick couldnt cope with Pete taking the piss out of him during course flogs? Makes guys blowing smoke up his *** more noticeable
@@jamestombs5567Pete isn't that great.
@@jamestombs5567 First of all Rick is under no delusion about the state of his game and makes no claim on being better than Pete,
Pete, at least for the purpose of his channel and his narcissistic output and preposterous Quest for the Open, certainly is deluded (at least outwardly (but probably not inwardly, as he can't be that conceited and naive)
Pete is probably around Scratch or +1 and you'll see far better golfers than him at every club up and down the UK, which is frankly embarrassing considering they mostly have full time jobs, have little time to practice whilst Pete spends all day making videos of himself playing golf.
He's clearly a reasonable standard, but so what, so are thousands of guys. Neither of them are that great.
PS, Rick shot lower than Pete in Open Qualifying.
@@jamestombs5567 I don't see that at all.
Rick is pretty honest that he's not a very special golfer, for example he distinctly said he only entered Open qualifying to see where his game is at and not to get through to final qualifying.
He's also done videos of handing in three cards to see what his official handicap is, and it came out at 2 if I recall correctly.
On the contrary, Pete is self indulgent and he seems to put on a front that he's some sort of "top golfer" capable of qualifying for the Open despite repeated abysmal attempts.
Personally, I see better golfers than both every single weekend and I also agree there is far too much brown nosing of both Pete and Rick online.
All true however Pete had a good amateur record including winning the English Amateur Championship.
You don’t watch either of these guys for top level play though. Bryson has a channel for that.
@@davidmarshall6409 I wouldn't open the curtains to watch Bryson or indeed any American youtuber, they are completely insufferable.
Peter Finch did NOT win the English Amateur, that was RICHARD Finch.
My favourite course I’ve ever played!!! But couldn’t take my eyes off Ricks beard!!!
Enjoyed this format quite a bit. Neither of you playing your best but having a laugh and knocking it around for a 66 is good content! Great video 🤙🏼
Rick why are you playing the 2nd shot on the 5th hole in Guy's Divot? You get at least like 6inches from where he hit the ball. Some golf clubs let you play within a club length of the chosen shot. Either way, you don't have to play in his divot.
Quick visit to the turkish barbers before filming starts 😊
I could have sworn the title of this video included (We go LOW) but when does it start? Even through 6... Came to the comments to see what was cooking here but now that you mention the beared I cant unsee it. Thanks a lot guys.
Enjoyable golf videos with guy are back!! Love it
Dustin Johnson School of Beard Trimming.
No shade though, I've been there too!
Rick should have Guy caddie for him at events. Rick tends to beat himself up a bit when things don't go well, Guy would be that happy voice cheering him on. You can't be mad at golf when Guy is with you 😂
Love this format. Fun and relaxed! Guy played well!
I've always wondered watching these, do you not use the 1 club-length rule in scrambles? Is that only a thing in the U.S.?
Jesus what is with these comments today? Enjoyed the round, always a joy to see a more chill vibe once in a while
For real lol, idk if I've ever seen a comment section more full of needlessly negative comments than this one.
The new holes look really good. I do remember that the two par3s on the back nine (12 & 14) were quite similar looking, but the old 5th was an adventure. All the new holes opened well in advance to mature before the Open in 2 years time. As ever your games are fun to watch and I think this was a tighter edit and didn't take up too much time watching.
That beard is simply a metaphor for Ricks "way too steep from the inside club path with an open to shut club-face leading to pull hooks or block fades...."
I used to deliver news papiers there in 1970, a lovely las used to greet me. Would love to play there now, golf thats is
I would 100% buy a "Fist Pumpin' Pars" shirt xD
Watching this on TV and got on my phone to read the Rick Shiels new jawline beard comments 😂😂😂😂❤️
Same 😂
Biggest miss of the round is that beard rick 😅, another great video on a great course 👍
Love you Rick! Keep it going! Big FAN!
Love Birkdale! Certainly the best links course.
Yay! A new Rick Shiels video at an awesome course.
This course is just stunning!!
Phew. I thought the cap had been left off the bottle, and the sauce had dried up. Good bounce back lads.
Vibes were up in this video. Makes for a better watch 😁
It’s crazy the difference between a local clubhouse that you go to, and one of the best in the world!
Always enjoy the scrambles with you two. Nice shoes btw Guy. 🍺
We were teeing off on the 1st just as you’d finished on 18! That rough was BRUTAL! Hard for me to gauge the changes as I’ve not played before. Fantastic course and wish I’d played better overall but some memorable shots/ holes played. Can’t wait to play it again
Great to see Guy playing well 💪🏌️⛳💥
Guy's mini driver is a game changer for his game.
Guy has got to be one of the best golf partners to partner up with his vibe and energy !
Or one of the worst with his comstant jabbering...
You've got to be joking, he's ruining these videos
@@SeanMacRSAhe does my head in, I don’t know if he is joking but he loves himself too much…
Zero adverts. Wow. Enjoyed that one ⛳️💥
Mad round 3 birdies to finish the front and back 🤣 class golf lads
Guys enthusiasm is something else 😊👍
Rick and Guy at Royal Bearddale.
Rick, I think your inconsistency is caused by your right shoulder stalling out right before impact. That requires perfect timing to hit it straight. Something to consider.
I shot a 91 today!!!!! I had 6 pars and 1 birdie. Two weeks ago I broke 100 for the first time with a 98. Thanks Rick!
That last putt by Guy is the exact reason I always pull the pin.
Quote of the day, "I'll blow your trumpet." 🤣
A break 65 at Birkdale with yourself and Guy! Spoiling us here 😁
18:10 "urgh...what is that?" think Rick sums up most of our golf games pretty well with one comment 😂
Would love to see a video out at the Birregurra golf club. That should be a solid challenge
Matter of fact, I did get home from a long day at work.. pick it up fellas.. lol😅
Rick with the High Neck Fade 😅😅
Im a barber and I can't stop looking at the beard! Always keep the beard line right at the top of the adams apple fella's
Great round boys. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Keep it up lads! Enjoyed the banter and the course looked fun.
I’m surprised Guy hasn’t a sore back with carrying Rick 😂😂 Good video Guys ⛳️🏌️♂️
Guy playing so well , great to see! well done.
Hole 1: What incredible luck that Guy's drive was found sitting up in the rough...
It wouldn't do for both to be 3 off the tee ;-)
