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! - Спорт
How nice of Rick to make sure the fairways stay pristine!
😂💀
Safest place on a golf course to be is where Rick is aiming
😂😂😂😂
Thin to twin
Rick for PM!
Get them costcos back in the bag
Excellent idea!
second this, he was smoking that driver too... and don't tell me he didn't putt great with the costco putter either haha
I agree
Sadly he won’t play them or a GI set. He’s a bit too proud / obsessed with the look of his clubs. I think a set of GIs or players distance irons would be great for his game
@@kerrywintersjr8256 I never understand why he spends some much time in the reviews talking about the appearance of the things... I couldn't care less how my clubs look frankly
Just been given the all clear from cancer beautiful charity well done lads
Congratulations Ian 👏🏻, all the best.
@@ianparry1566 good luck
My dog
Congrats!!!
Well done Ian ! That’s some to celebrate for sure.🇨🇦
Rick needs the Kirkland signatures
His ego won't let him
@@MoyHobbies Cooooorrect
Man the level of hate lately is crazy in the comments. As a 9 handicap I shoot all over the map. Seems like we’re all tour pros in here lately. Great video Rick and team!
It seems a lot of people don’t understand how the handicap system works. Your handicap is meant to be you at or near your best, not an average.
It’s honestly getting annoying. I don’t understand why people feel the need to comment. If you don’t like the videos, just don’t watch it. If you think (insert name here) is a better UA-cam golfer, then just watch their stuff.
It’s especially annoying because it’s not like Rick carries himself like he thinks that he’s greatest. He’s actually pretty open about his troubles and weak spots
He shot 15 pars, missed 3 easy birdie putts and lost a ball. 7 over is decent for a low handicap golfer. It’s 30 points off scratch which is always a good score.
@@bzomeful I think people get frustrated with his terrible short game, especially after lessons from a god - tier coach, constant clicky finger snaps and lame excuses after every shot. I love Rick but at this rate he'll have 'I didn't quite catch it'' on his gravestone.
@@Daniel189HLL you’re acting as if you paid for his short game lessons, no matter how much someone practices something it doesn’t guarantee they’ll be amazing at it. Thats life. Just sit back and enjoy, or don’t watch 🤷🏽♂️ pretty simple to me.
No birdies were harmed in the making of this video
Watching this video single handedly gives the best up and downs of GOLF. You’ll be high in the clouds and then humbled very quickly. Some people forget how hard it is to hit the same exact shot every single time with multiple clubs. Good job Rick, at least you’re real and not a bunch of BS.
Rick holds the all-time course record here!
Only to be broken by a junior +10 handicap by tomorrow AM 💀
@@MosesMal0n3or a regular 12 handicap 😂
You do know Golf life played here before Rick😅
@@thorenoss like I said, Rick holds the all time course record here.
@@thorenoss thats such a weird thing to say? just because their video came out first? like watching their video i see divots already created on tee boxes and the fairway. sand that has been kicked up from bunkers they weren't in. just because a video is posted first doesn't mean it happened first.
Hey in fairness Rick, you had two bad holes but played real steady for 16 holes with a ton of great approach shots.
The real crying shame was missing that tap in for birdie!
Always has couple bad holes that's why he's crasap
I play opposite this place, they have been saying it's almost ready for about 4 years now. Good to see it's finally finished.
What's the 9 hole like? Been meaning to play there but feels expensive for 9 holes
@@darylrobins9099I also play there. It's a very nice 9 hole. Much better value than many of the other local 9s or 18s.
I love it how Rick always tries to give us a reason/explanation for why he's putting from off the green. Believe me Rick, we all know why you're doing it.
Every excuse about every shot he hits. It’s never Rick’s fault, he always makes the right choice but gets uNlUcKy. Absolutely insufferable nowadays.
@@MosesMal0n3my boy, he’s doing a show! that’s like saying Bob Barker talks too much about prizes!
@@steviechampagnedo you actually watch the videos lad? Old vs. new and how much he’s changed?? I’ve been watching for years. On 14/18 holes he said “I didn’t quite strike it right”. That isn’t good content. If it’s not that, it’s the winds fault, or some other blasphemous nonsense. What’s he trying to gaslight his viewers into believing he’s scratch every single vid? We aren’t blind Rick, we know where you’ve been at with your game for a while. It’s just Rick being an all time waffler, and honestly a petulant child on the course trying to be something he’s not. He used to be a likable, relatable bloke. Judging by a majority of commenters, his audience feels the same way.
@@MosesMal0n3 spot on
@@MosesMal0n3. Trolling?
Have you ever considered using a conventional putting grip for putts longer than 10-15 feet or so to get a bit more solid contact? Once you’ve played claw for a while, face contact using a conventional grip just feels so much more solid off the sweet spot. Then keep the claw for shorter range to fight the slice putt path.
Every time I hear Ceri's story about Hugh it chokes me up.... I CAN'T imagine... 🙏🏼❤️
79 on a coarse that's never been played before. I think that's a great benchmark! Obviously, the next time you play, it will be a very different score. We'll done and thanks for the content Rick.
Was +2, went to put some chicken in the oven, left it playing, came back and he's +7
Wtf happened on 15/16? Not rewinding, it's a tough watch.
Rick pressed the self destruct button.
@@williamewen383 theres always that 1-2 holes
You know you can pause videos?
I would love to see Rick put a set of forgiving irons in the bag including a 7-wood . And switch back to a Ping driver. And take more club on almost every single shot. He might have to change the name of these videos to "Break Par".
So many guys like you and me say the same thing and yet he can't see it. if nothing else a Ping driver
What an amazing opportunity!! Good on you mate
It’s not though. He lied. Big Ange and tubes played it with John Carew😅
@@thorenoss According to the owner of the golf course, Rick was the first person to play.
Source: golffeatures.com/content/inspiration-club
@@thorenoss rick did. He posted it later later
@@thorenosswe all played it in a media day. I was group ahead of tubes and behind Clubface UK, I think Rick was 1st though.
Rick never takes enough club its so frustrating to watch... He pulls one 40 yards left pin high and is complaining about needing to hit pitching wedge. -_-
It's getting to the point where I'm just about done with watching
He will ALWAYS choose to "muscle one in there" instead of clubbing up.
@@zachpiotrowicz647 I am shouting at the TV, Rick, go up a club! Into wind, never allows enough, comes up short and says I. Didn't quite catch it. Most of the trouble around the greens is at the front or front middle.
see it all the time when he plays with tour pros thinking he can hang with them. His ego is his biggest weakness
@@FlySoto Nah, he knows he is not a tour pro. I think his issue is that he plays every shot as if he is going to pure it. He uses tour level irons instead of forgiving. He switched to a high speed driver from a forgiving one. Off the tee he only sees "position A" and does not try to be safe.
The course sure is great looking! I live in a semi-desert in Texas, so green grass is quite a sight for me. Rick, you realize this is a once in a lifetime or less, probably much less, opportunity! No divots, no bumps, no oddities, just picture perfect. Awesome.
That putt on the 9th 🤦😆 we've all been there 🙏
Love your content and I especially love the training videos (e.g., chipping ones with Dan). Rick, maybe it is time for you to work on the mental aspect of the game. As amateurs we would love to know what it takes to keep the concentration during the entire 18 holes. Like many out there, we want to see you break 75 more often. You have the game. You just need to hold it together for the entire 18 holes. Easier said than done :)
Seems like you played better using Kirkland equipment. Nice video!
Mike88GT: Very true but as you may remember, when he was using the Kirkland clubs, he was too busy finding reasons to not give them a good rating. For example, knocking the driver for not having the shaft he normally uses even though he hit it well. Also, downgrading the driver because Kirkland does not have a matching 3 & 5 woods. Also, after shooting 7 over with his fitted clubs, I wonder what grade he gave them?
@@SharonGeorge-gu8lz he played well with the Kirkland gear no doubt. he struck the ball well.
Love your positive mindset. Been following you for years and its good to see that you have changed from being hard on yourself to focusing on the positive and not focusing on bad luck or poor performance. Enjoy this content much more than where you where half a year ago
I've always loved Rick's videos, whether it's break 75, club reviews, or podcast, he just seems like an average guy you could drink some pints with.🍺🍺🍺🍺⛳⛳
And an average golfer these days
Course record for most birdie putts missed - all good rolls too 😂😢
Hey Rick, but shout out from Australia! The course looks mint!
Loving the close-up slowmo shots after the putts
Rick, I’m one hole in and it’s my favourite video of yours this year… because you can see genuine joy. Please keep that!
Rick, what an honor. To be fair, with close to three million subscribers and all rabid golfers not a bad adverts for the new course. Well done and as always thanks for the content.
That's the ONLY reason he was invited, well that and not damaging the fairways
I think with some more forgiving iorns, at least in the top of the bag, and maybe driver you'd see your score quite a bit better. Great video
Ive been binging Rick's videos lately. I love that he posts when he plays phenomenally and when his play is less refined. Makes for a more realistic approach to a tough sport we all love.
Thanks Rick for showing us the hole course. 🤣 love the real golf ⛳️
"i have been playing really well lately, other than a few bad holes"
As Super Bowl winning coach Bill Parcells once said.."your record is what you are".
Translation: no excues, no rationalizing, no woulda-coulda-shouldas
Congrats on the course record Rick
So relatable. That's what makes your videos so great. I can relate to not being able to get that birdie to drop and following straight pars with a double. Thanks for the view of this great golf course. Would love to come play this course.
Rick, I've been watching you do club reviews for years. Great review of the course just ten miles from London. You are a humble and honorable man. Appreciating the honor of being the first player ever on the course and humbled by your clam demeanor playing good golf and not your best golf. Well done video and thanks for the course overview.
Never thought I would see the day, Rick playing links golf in the slums of hayes😂
Hayes.....it's Northolt son, behave yourself
slums of Northolt then 😂@@jamespenston1122
that ping putter has single handedly destroyed ricks golf season
Lol you mean whatever wedge he uses right? Lots of good long puts here
@@bobloblaw6960or whatever driver he uses except the Kirkland
@@hypent500 it's certainly not the putter.
Way to set the course record! Seriously, though, thank you for continuing to share and post these break 75s. A lot of us would be over the moon for a score in the 70s; I thought you played really well.
What an absolute pleasure to vicariously accompany you on this round Rick!!!!! Many thanks.
Well deserved honor. You’ve given much.
Rick, your back swing transition is sooo quick. You’re the pro! Come on! 😂
Yeah looks like he’s breaking the wrists right away, especially on the driver. I think that’s a big reason he’s so inconsistent with the club.
@@b12deficient24 yes drives me batty!
He's only a pro in title. He earned that when he could actually play decent. Rick couldn't pass his PGA P.A.T. (Playing Ability Test) nowadays because his handicap is a 4 (or worse now) which is also why he didn't get invited as a golf content UA-camr to the Myrtle Beach Qualifier...
@@3nCounting His handicap index would be loads lower than 4 with the 'new' handicap system... 🤷🏻♂️
Great video. Thank you for the best golf content on UA-cam.
Yes Rick! Brilliant of you to get this course loads of exposure
The comments are savage today, but course management has never been Rick's strong suit
I hear Guy just jumped in his car and dashed out there to set the course record!
8:01 No more Texas wedge Rick! Those bounces ate up the speed. Trust yourself and your wedge game. You got this.
That first ever birdie putt is why we love watching you. You post all the game we all live with.
Hello Rick from Raleigh, NC. Another entertaining video - you are such a great ambassador for the game! Can't wait to hear your review of their sausage rolls once they get up and running! Fairways and greens!
Stay tuff Ceri!
Anyone else get anxious watching the 3-iron not dropping into the bag there at the end?
Guy needs to go there and take the course record from you!
It should be easy for him! 😂😂😂
Lol Rick hit a straight shot challenge, bro always has to try to move the ball
WHAT WITH THE CLICKBAIT THUMBNAIL?
I mean technically…
Made you click
Are you saying that you thought they'd turfed over the Thames?
Welcome to UA-cam lol
I let out a big “ohhhh nooooo!” when you missed that putt on the ninth Rick. I know we have all been there and done that but I really wanted you to make that just as much as I am sure you did. Looks like a really nice course, very lucky to be the first person to ever play it. Definitely reminds me of some of the links courses here in Australia that we have close to Melbourne.
thanks for the preview Rick
Get to Aus Rick and play some of our courses.
Austria does have some amazing courses.
😂
@@morkusmorkus6040 haha, that’s Aut.
Should have used that Costco putter
Rick, I live in Hayes, about 10 mins from the course. Think your tee shot (16th) landed in my garden 😂
Loving my new home course - The Inspiration.
Keep the videos and podcasts coming 👍🏽
That birdie putt on 9 was hilarious. Golf is the most manic-depressive game.
your clickbait is at an all time
this guy is like a fucking addict... "gotta make a birdie" - relentless.
Just finished watching you use all the Kirkland clubs. I think you struck those clubs much better. I understand our swing can change from day to day but they did make the game look easier for you. Fantastic looking course all the same.
The way I screamed on hole 9!!!! Mind you, it’s 11pm and I’m cleaning house and the baby is asleep 😂😂😂😂😂
Can we just recognise some really solid golf from Rick in this round! I know he had those ‘blow up’ holes, but the rest of the golf was great.
Would you like us all to stand whilst we do so?
@@cliffmanley9153 erm, no…??
What a monumentally stupid thing to say, were you having a bad day Cliffy?
Now, I’m sure you’re not the dumbest person on the planet, but you better hope they don’t die…
Love ya shiels
Rick would be amazing at the good good "fairway is lava" game 🤣
Good man Rick. Milestone achievement. Up and at ‘em!👍🏻
you got me into golfing
come to canada
Why would anyone go to Canada🤣🤣
@@user-tg8qo6nz9kso Trudeau and jail them if they say anything at all 😂
Rick is allergic to Birdies
Really good looking course
The reaction shots have been epic so far! “Three phenomenal chances!” I feel for you!
They 100% asked Rick to play this first because they knew it would keep the fairways safe. 😂
Not trying to be a dick but it's become a thing when folk at our club are putting from well off the green we call it a Rick Shiels 😂😂😂
Dude same lmfao, my friends and i say "goin shiels" instead of texas wedge lol
@@hrs1414 😂😂😂👍🏻
Rick, the energy has been differently lately in a great way! Good stuff!
Crown of Wembley 😂😂😂 THE ARCH MATE. THE ARCH!
And the course still aint see a birdie
At least the fairways are looking safe😂
That putt on the 9th was devastating.
And the 11th😢
Not even gonna talk about the 15th and the 16th. By now I'd have been shouting I hate golf me😂.
Course looks great. Well played. Plenty of pars just a bit unlucky on a few punishing shots. Great video Rick👍
Beautiful course!!
I was on the edge of my seat for every putt with you..
Rick channeling his inner rory on that short put
why yall always complaining about rick's videos? do you have nothing better to do than to say the same critical things about the video every single video? maybe don't watch if you don't like the content or his demeanor.
Rick's ego will be shattered when he find out a 9 years old shatters his all time course record there a day after he leave.
Played it a couple of days ago, as Rick said greens are amazing and it’s a really interesting course, managed a couple of birdies, but also a load of bogeys. Well worth a visit if you are in-that area
i’m so glad i became a member here
it truly is a gorgeous course
I hate the thumbnail
How...HOW, can you play this much golf and still not improve? And on top of that, he is a golf professional! Just incredible.
Nice work Rick. Beautiful course ⛳️
Rick. You are a fantastic golfer. Speak positive thoughts to yourself. Leave the bad shots behind you without dwelling on them. With every shot focus on the positives!
I see the short game lessons have really paid off 😂
Rick is big timer lessons go thru one ear out the other with him. He goes right back to his bad habits. His mate James fixed his driver iron play. Rick was trending the right direction but nope he thinks he should be hitting further than does so went right back to that horrible hook he plays. Rick can’t be taught he knows it all.
Then says the wind didn't bring it back! A snap hook!! I'm tired of him saying I didn't quite catch it almost every other shot. 😮@@Lovetheducks
@@Daniel189HLL literally happens every video. *snap hook* immediately yells "WIND" 🤣
@@Lovetheducks when he's made this much money doing it I think it really just gets to his head. he needs to get a reality check and realise hes not that guy...
@@danielkwon396I’ve began to lose interest in the videos because of this exact reason
Rick is not a bad golfer at all but I think he thinks he is better than he is. More forgiving clubs and less expectations could improve his game for sure
Love to see it, what a course!
Looks like a great coure and not super expensive. Also great to see Rick enjoying himself and enjoying playing golf with all it brings.
No views no comments?! I’m him
The question to ask, as you are a pro, why can't you hit the fairway??
Missing a birdie shot from that distance. I feel you bro. I feel you 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
Great RS as always to follow your different golfrounds and golfideas,.. I also mean it is nice to have a course record!🤨✅🙏⛳️👍
Don't appreciate the Clickbait photo
Dude really ???
It’s clearly not real 😂 relax man
🤦🏻♂️
It's nice to actually see a new course being built. In Canada there are virtually no new courses anymore. Even a new course project in the middle of nowhere will face massive opposition. "It's only for rich people!" "It ruins the environment!" Wah! Wah! Waaah!😭
Rick's real golf again. I'd be very pleased with this for a round of golf even with the two disaster holes. Overall, it was sound....and a great looking course. 👏👏
24:09 thought about it too much eh? been there many times (just not often for birdie xD)
