    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.

    Hey Rick, I had my first five golf clubs when I was about five years old, played a little in junior high and high school then gave the game up for a variety of reasons. Now at 60 I’m joining a local CC. For the first time in my life I’ve purchased a set of clubs tailored to my age, size, strength etc. Landed on the Ping 425’s with steel shafts. That said, I have been perusing the Internet for instruction and find myself enjoying your channel above all others. Your no-nonsense, positive style, always with a smile on your face, keeps me coming back for more. I believe your goal is to sincerely help those of us out there from beginner to seasoned scratch golfer. Thank you for that! Keep up the good work!

    I really like these kind of videos, Rick. This is exactly what I’m doing with my 15 yr old son. I’m having him talk through his round, telling me the risk/reward with each shot. Having him tell me WHY he is choosing that club or that shot. Being 15 lack of concentration is an issue. It has helped him tremendously and he’s starting to consistently score in the mid 70’s. Keep up the great work! We love watching.

    How I Play Golf:
    Have an extra ball in your pocket. A few tees, your ball marker, and your divot tool. That way you won’t have to run like an idiot back to your golf cart and get things.Cell phone, wallet and keys IN THE GOLF BAG! Always position the cart or your golf bag/pull cart adjacent or forward of where you tee off/your shot. NEVER WALK/RUN BACKWARDS! Point of golf is to go forwards. Group behind you are gonna think you don’t know what your doing and look stupid! Always be aware of where the wind is going. Emphasize your pre-shot routine. Before your shot take a deep breath and as you set up exhale. Loosens you up. Play at a reasonable pace. On your approach shot if you miss the green take your wedge AND PUTTER! Repair divot mark closest to your ball on the green. Lay your wedges on top of laid flag sticks or the frindge of the green on the direction of your golf cart or golf bag, that way you won’t forget it. If you keep bumping into a slow playing playing group in front you, after the third time asked them politely if you can play through or if it’s another single/double ask if you can join them. Take your own water/beer. Enjoy the game! Have fun!

    I really enjoy these videos where you talk us through your choices and some of the things to be aware of, especially wet conditions. I appreciate you talking through club selections. Great video!

    My favorite thing about your videos is that you just go play golf (which, as anyone who plays golf knows, is filled with some unpredictability) and you put it on UA-cam. It's maybe the most helpful thing about your content - the humanity and humility of the game. I hate to say it, but knowing you're not perfect makes all of us hackers feel better. :) But you provide supremely helpful insight to give us the motivation to be better. It's a good reminder that we're all chasing that little white ball - hopefully onto short grass!

    This is the perfect format for me. I have only been playing about a year and 1/2 so I'm still trying to get a handle on the basic way to hit a ball. The way you explain it is clear and looks easy to follow. So many other people are so technical - your shoulder moves here, your knees goes in then lift it, your club points there......seriously???? please continue with this type of video it is so helpful

    Shielsy, so I’m golfing against my buddy on Sunday (whooped him 5 up Match Play, not important but I’m bragging) and he tried the technique around the green that you did, choke up and Y position for the toe. He chopped it bad and yelled “Damn you Rick Shiels!” And I couldn’t quit laughing 😂 and of course it wasn’t really your fault. He just chopped it bad and was frustrated...... awesome video man!

    I really do hope you see this. You helped me fix my grip and helped my game out tremendously. I used to have all fingers on the club but now I do overlapping like you suggested (or interlock) and boy did that change everything. It’s only my 5th time golfing but I’m 23 and I went golfing with my boss and 2 of his friends who are all over the age of 45 and I beat my boss by 1 stroke. Granted he probably wasn’t really trying his hardest but we were out there having fun keeping real score. Now I can’t stop watching your videos and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all that you do on UA-cam and outside

    I now visit your videos each night...addicted to Rick? I used your 8 iron chip from off the green today and had some success...thanks. Also used the "use enough club" reminder to hit a beautiful par 3 with a 7 hybrid. Over-club? yes, for anyone but me. What else...? Also used your tip to check the green from the side for slope. Tried using your "how to not top the ball" tips but failed miserably, either topping or chunking my fairway shots. much work to do. Thanks for all of your tips and sharing. love how honest and how many chuckles you have. Golf should be fun and is no doubt funny.

    Rick, these “how I play golf” are really super videos, for people like me who are just starting out with golf. Just seeing the game through the eyes of a PGA coach on a real course in real life does give a super insight into the game and the tactics that can give you an edge and also make the game so much more enjoyable. Thanks for making them and sincerely hope you will do more.

It actually serves a greater cause - it shows to all of us the amateurs, that even the pros can make a mistake, even the pros can screw up a perfect shot, and that regardless of who you are, you can hit in a way that you didn't expect to. Thank you for this video. It is greatly appreciated.
