    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.

    Nick was the best caddy you've had on your course vlogs. Informative, positive, friendly, conversational. I like how he's respectfully demanding of the shot he wants and he also refers to the course as his (my fairway runs out...) Kudos to him.

    To agree with everyone Nick was absolutely phenomenal. His energy, attention to detail, knowledge of the course history, and encouragement was out of this world. The human connection and engagement was brilliant.

    k, I've been following for about five years now and you never disappoint. You've moved on from relatively run of the mill instructional videos to a unique format of playing with the world's best players in your starting-10-under-par challenges, and taking us on break-75 attempts to the world's great courses. I personally find you're infinitely better suited at doing these entertainment kind of videos. I find this particular Sawgrass video one of your best, which is in great part thanks to Nick, who was clearly able to draw out the better you when you needed it. The fact that he always spoke in terms of "we", "us" and "our", as if you both were in this game together, speaks volumes as to how good a caddy he is. We all need a Nick in our lives. Keep up the good work.

    2. You timing these right in front of the PGA tournaments (here and Bay Hill as well) is so well executed... kudos

    Just saw your video about lost footage from your 2024 round at TPC Sawgrass. I was able to play it 23-24 years ago and shot 82 with a par on 17. One of my most memorable rounds of golf I’ve ever played. Hope to do it again someday.

    Top caddying from Nick, and good to see the feel good factor from Rick, even when it wasn't going his way. Recognising that the moment was bigger than the performance was key to enjoying that round, well done Rick

    Wow, just wow Rick. Loved it. My dad raised me as a golfer and after he got his diagnosis we promised eachother we would play this course. Unfortunately, he progressed faster than any of us thought and we lost him in September. Our goal was to be there in April of this year. This was really special to me Rick and Nick was awesome. Thanks for the memories of my father!

Rick, you work so hard to provide us all with glimpses of the golfing world we are unlikely to ever experience, and we all appreciate you for that. These extraordinary course experiences are such deserved opportunities for you. As for Nick, today's caddy, what a brilliant, positive character with such class and respect. This one will be shared and shared again...can't wait for the next one!

    I love watching Rick. He is a teacher and an entertainer. He is human with his golf. He accepts his faults and looks towards better shots. Just like all of us. He doesn’t hide or pretend. I believe Rick has got game, and I’m always rooting for him. I loved watching Rick play TPS Sawgrass just as much as I will enjoy the PGA playing this weekend. Thank you Rick. I look forward to more videos. - Ian in Baltimore

      New golfer here, very green still haven't played a true round of golf, been to driving ranges and chipping and putting greens, but I find every aspect of golf fascinating because while you are playing other golfers the main opponent is the elements the landscape and yourself, what tips could you give me starting off and what kind of price point would a TPC Sawgrass course have? Thank you in advance
