@RickShielsPGA these videos have drastically improved my game. There are 100’s if not 1000’s of videos on youtube trying to fix your game. If I retain your info, slow it down while practicing, and then get the muscle memory, there are no betting instructions anywhere than yours. It sound weird but i literally love you man. You know how frustrating golf can be, but when you know and feel what you’re doing wrong and can fix it, it makes it a “challenge” instead of frustrating. I appreciate you so much my man thank you for every second you put into this for your fans and fans of golf 🙏🏼
Good tips. My whole game improved when I learned to make almost all 3-footers. So to "think positive" about longer putts, I would move half way closer to the hole and practice my stroke. I knew I could make that so I could see the longer putt rolling over my practice stroke line. Helped with confidence and positivity. Also makes lag putting easier.
Gt advice. Thanks. A Malaysian lady golf pro is also advising how to get feel the green speed by long putting 3 or 4 balls. I tried, it works for me. Practising at home definitely helps. Centering the ball on putter mid point definitely helps. Yet another method which works for me to bend down and use shorter shaft length. My golf pals can't believe it. it is almost like snooker. Not sure if it is legal.
Man, I’ve watched about a dozen of your videos and have really seen my game improve. I was apprehensive to start watching golf tip videos at first because I thought that I would get too much info in my head and just complicate things further. But I’ve picked up just a tip or two in each of your videos and never feel like I’m being over loaded with technicalities. Thanks so much for the lessons!
Rick is a great teacher, easy to understand and relatable to a amateur like me. I really wish I could have just an hour with him to ask all my questions, but I will settle for his videos I have learned a lot. Thanks Rick love your channel.
This may very well be your best video yet to help folks improve their games/ handicap levels. I've watched you for years, and there's at least something in this video that pertains to just about everybody, and just about everybody can get better by following these putting recommendations.
When I watch your videos, Rick, is the closest I ever come to wishing I lived in England. I am an 81 year old lifetime mediocre golfer. I love my country, and would never seriously consider living anywhere else, but sometimes I wish I lived in England and could just meet you and tell you how much I enjoy your videos and obvious love of the game. Keep up the good work. You still produce the best UA-cam content out there. I especially love your videos playing with Guy. You two really project the feeling of twoates who really enjoy each other's company. It's obvious why you are still the king of golfing UA-cam.
Have to say the editing quality / animations on these videos are so good. Makes them so watchable and relatable. This is why it is the best UA-cam golf channel in the world. Great work team.
New golfer here, I recently found your channel & have consumed alot of your content. Great editing, genuine & has helped my game ALOT. Thanks for all you do.
I love this Rick. To misquote Yogi Berra, " 90% of the game is 100% mental. I really like the way you address this by providing clear simple instruction on the way you see the game. I find a lot of instructional videos give you too much information. Its not that the information is wrong. Its just too many words and too many things to think about. Sometimes its not about technique. Its about your mental approach. I am 73 years old and don't expect to shed 5 strokes off my game with some miracle cure to my ball striking but I still strive to improve every time I approach that first tee. Thank you for keeping it simple .
I recently started watching this channel but I must admit that these tips that you give are so real life and easy to implement. love your content. keep up the excellent work
Dan Harrison... After seeing what I saw at the 5:20 portion I said I had to give this man props. Great tips Rick. Awesome editing. Speechless on this one because I haven't a 3 Putt Free Round this year. This will help.
Always good to revisit the basics. A lot of us have played a long time and, at least for me, tend to forget little things. I certainly appreciate your great videos.
Hit the nail directly on the head with this one Rick! I am currently playing off of 1.8 and am absolutely guilty of each and every one of these mistakes. Thanks again for the great drills!
Great content, Rick! You helped me with my "only mistake," and now I make sure to practice all my putting drills to a tee peg..... with great results! Thank you! 🤘🏻
Great video Rick. I don't hit the ball nearly as far as my playing partners do, so I try to keep my putting below 30 putts per round. This video definately will help me continue that. Thanks!
Rick, can you do a video on the grip you use for putting. I also putt LHL and would love to hear some of your insights as far as grip pressure, hand placement, which hand dominates the stroke, etc...
Hey there Rick, I'm a 69 year old male golfer. I really enjoy your channel, you have many interesting and educational topics. The topic no one ever talks about is the Yips... I've suffered with the swing yips now for about 3 years. Bless my golf partners they put up with my swing, but it drives me crazy and the last two seasons I've stop playing earlier in the year because of frustration. My problem is with every club (even the putter) is taking the club away. I get caught in a 4-6 inch twitch behind the ball and unable to take the club back, I can feel the tension build with every twitch and my body and I tends to drift about a 1/2 inch behind the ball with every twitch. I can end up being about 4-6 inches behind the ball when I finally fire the club. You can even see my legs twitch every time I try to fire the club. Well I don't want to bore your readers, but I could use some help with this, I do love my golf, it gets me outside with my pals. But I need to get pass this or I'll end up quitting golf. I know it's a mental problem, and I do try to swing with no thoughts in my mind... but your body knows what your trying to do..... Please HELP.... Thanks for what you do....
Amazing vid, Rick. I've bookmarked it because I'm going to watch it again prior to my next round (in 4 months). As others have said, the quality of this video jumped out at me too. The editing and effects were next level. Keep it up!
Rick, great vid. Thank you. One tip you could possibly add is for people to try and pick the specific part of the hole they want the ball to roll into from, like a clock face. Golfers can tend to see the front of the hole generally as the entry point for all their putts, which while understandable, is not the widest part of the hole for a breaking putt. So for example, if it's a breaking right to left putt, even though the widest entry point is usually between say 4 o'clock and 5.30, depending on the strength of the break (i.e. if 6 o'clock is the closest point to the player), they still somehow see the 6 o'clock point as the entry point. After all, it is the widest point from their view when they're putting. If we can see/feel the entry point this can help us commit, and help prevent us "chickening out" from going high enough. Next time, have a look at the hole from the entry you want the ball to take. Just quickly. If your brain can see the ball entering at say 4 o'clock you will probably 1. be more willing to roll it high enough and 2. benefit by having the ball entering the hole at it's widest entry point, a double benefit. Cheers.
another awesome video rick! i have 3 more that help me enormously: 1. when your playing partners putt, assuming their ball is on a similar line as yours, watch closely what their ball does. 2. read the green from the other side of the hole, 180 deg. from where you're putting. if the break is uncertain, you'll often be surprised at what you see. 3. when making a putting stroke, think "smooth and tension free" during your stroke. this will reduce the number of pushes and pulls.
Rick, that last tip is spot on, I do the same with my chipping, I chip to an alignment stick stuck into the ground. On a good round, I can chip in two or three times. All great tips
Great stuff! Things we probably know (most of) but fail to execute when we play. Thanks! (Loved the animation at 5:11. What a cute way to illustrate "imagine the ball going in the hole".)
That was 7?!?! I was just getting into it and then it was over...shot 43-33-76 today (so much for consistency), I need to find your bunker/chipping/pitching/30-50yd shot videos stat and I’ll be under par! Thank you so much for your inspiring videos Rick 💪🏽
Man I'm very frustrated with my putting, the only time I have to putt is my times spent on the green 😂 don't have time to get a pre game warm up or anything and I'm using a new putter haha hopefully get some free time soon get my score down. Been shooting between 49 and 51 just front 9 on my local course of a par 35 hopefully get it down to 45 soon! Defo an area that will take shots off
used these tips yesterday, worked a treat, especially like the practice putt the same as actual putt and visualizing it going in, knocked a few strokes off my round, cheers Rick.
I love the tip of a tee upside down as a target! I've been trying this around the house and that little bit of positive feedback when knocking the tee over is surprisingly satisfying! I also tried the warm up drill of getting the green speed by putting to the edge of the green from short, medium, and long range before a par 3 round yesterday and I was even par after 5 holes for the first time in my life! My putting was dialed in. Thank you!
Also important to note that reading more break and missing high typically means the next putt is shorter and does not tend to get away from you like it can when missed low and be 4+ feet away. That is what I have found to help me some.
I'm using all these tips to tune up my putting. Here's one that I use on the practice green. On the course, I only get ONE shot at each putt. Instead of hitting multiple balls from the same spot, I simulate this 'ONE shot' on the practice green. First, I place a ball as far away from a hole that I will realistically be. Could be thirty or forty feet, maybe more. Then another ball about the same distance, but maybe ten feet from the first (different approach to the hole) so I will be 'practicing' two different putts. The goal is to get the first putt of each ball close enough to the hole to have a really makable second putt. The ultimate goal is to eliminate that 3rd and 4th putt. Side benefit-- if you hit the first putt bad enough, you get to practice shorter, but still difficult putts.
If I have a slick downhill putt I usually will hit off the toe of my putter. This will take some of the speed off my putt and if I don't make the putt the ball usually stops close to the hole for an easy tap in for my next putt. I really enjoyed the first and last bits of advice you gave. Judge the speed of the green first and use a smaller aiming point in practice putting. Well done sir.
Tip 7 is a belter Rick. It reminds me of one of the worlds greatest cricket batsmen who had a Test average of 99. The great Don Bradman used to practice hitting a golf ball with a stump up against a wall so when he was faced with a cricket ball and cricket bat it was so much easier for him to make perfect contact. I'm going to adopt these tips for the future.
Love your golf tips. But I also bought a new putter. More like yours with less gimmicky stuff going on. I retired my oddesy two ball and the new ping putter with hardly nothing on it is easier to aim. The new club helped a lot.
The best production values in a "golf tip video" EVER. Think positive special effect; aim small pea in the manhole just killed! Also it was great to see I actual do one of these things already. Thanks again Rick.
Solid advice. The single thing that helped my putting was (see #2) solid contact. However, I find it’s due to moving the hips while putting. DO NOT move the hips and solid contact come 90+% of the time. This allows distance and speed control which is critical as the amount of break is determined by speed.
Hi Rick, these were really very good tips and most Golfers do spend not enough time on the putting greens and even more the technical "Ball replacement" in the scene of pratice putts was so funny.
Nice job Rick. I watched this video a second time and took notes to refer back too occasionally just to keep it fresh. Some of these I do on a consistent basic but some I needed to be reminded of. By the way...where do I find a course that has one of those magic holes that keep a fresh ball popping up after each putt? That was an awesome special effect. All the best Rick.
Hi Rick, you discuss using bluetak to promote finding the sweet spot on the face during practice, is there anything that would prevent a player from using bluetak or another weight adding substance to a putter in order to improve the balance during a game?
Amazing what you can learn from a few "simple" tips from someone who knows exactly what they are talking about, just genius 👏 especially tips 1 and 7.. brilliant.
These tips are equally important 'especially' the last one 😂 love it and can't wait to see someone putt towards the side of the green, 'so you watch Rick too then' it'll be like a secret handshake 🤝
Great video, great tips - learn the speed of the green that day on tip 1...I've played hundreds of courses and never has the putting green reflected the speed of the greens on the day but
Thank Rick. 1st game back today after 2nd lockdown. Watching all your vids during lockdown obviously done me some good as shot +4 gross. 😍😍😍 normally shoot in the 80's.
All of these tips are great. Another tip that goes along with watching your putt go past the hole is that if someone in your group has a putt on a similar line to yours and is putting before you watch it, it can help you get a read on how much your putt will break as well as the speed.
Hi Rick, all your videos are amazing to develop the skills. What I see missing are a series of putting videos showing various putts, green reading, distance, ball path etc. Please can you create a putting series.
If this comment has an even amount of *LIKES* you'll play your best golf in 2021
8th like means I’m gonna make a hole in one
Loving the graphics used Rick 👌
46th like... Do I have to wait til January? I'm in Florida lol...
Darn it, I'm #83 I messed it up for everyone!
90 yo let's go
Can we all take a minute to appreciate the editing on the ‘imagine the practise stroke going into the hole section’ 10/10
that wasn't editing, that was Rick showing off his new degree from Hogwarts
That animation lead me to your comment!
And the gianyt bucket hole! Thats what I've been aiming at all along. Tee sounds like a much better idea!!
It's like a DreamWorks animation production.
I don't know, that editing has me questioning everything he does now...

"these points are all equally important but especially number 7" never change rick
My favorite Shields-ism evah
Came to the comments to see this
Read this as he said it.
Reminds me of Sideshow Bob 'Especially Lisa... but Especially Bart'
@@benedictparry1018 ż
Going to watch this video... and then probably go 3 put everything today
Same lol
100%
54 putts in a 18 holes. My normal.
Damn, I can't wait until I put that few
Rick forgets most greens near me have moon size craters
Love the tips but 2 real things I'm impressed with here Rick. 1 is the beard, 2 is the editing on the practice putt tip.
Beard game is STRONG! Zach on our channel has a solid one but not quite on Rick's level haha
Like so he can see... jesus christ the editor is insane tho
I could've watched that ball go into the hole and pop back up for hours.
Didn't even finish the video, came to the comments looking for the props for the editing!
Man, I’ve watched about a dozen of your videos and have really seen my game improve. I was apprehensive to start watching golf tip videos at first because I thought that I would get too much info in my head and just complicate things further. But I’ve picked up just a tip or two in each of your videos and never feel like I’m being over loaded with technicalities. Thanks so much for the lessons!
That editing at 5:10 ... I couldn’t stop laughing! Wasn’t expecting that! Nice touch though
Great teaching skills makes a lot sense when putting.
Rick is a great teacher, easy to understand and relatable to a amateur like me. I really wish I could have just an hour with him to ask all my questions, but I will settle for his videos I have learned a lot.
Thanks Rick love your channel.
I think Rick is the only youtuber i trust for golf tips.

I've got my first ever game next week. Going on my own so no pressure. All these videos have helped me learn enormously.
New golfer here, I recently found your channel & have consumed alot of your content. Great editing, genuine & has helped my game ALOT.
Thanks for all you do.
I like your teaching style Rick! It's like golfing with a good buddy that actually helps you out with positive thoughts and tips.
SO TRUE... Rick is an amazing teacher ! 😊😊

I just watched a video where someone asked Peter Finch if he was Rick Shiels. Oh the look of defeat on his face was priceless LOL!!
Link? I need to see this lol
I just started playing golf and probably learnt more from rick's videos than my lessons. You're doing a great job man. Kudos!
Just saying... but "learnt" is NOT a word. Does your device have spell check ? Guess not.
Dan Harrison... After seeing what I saw at the 5:20 portion I said I had to give this man props. Great tips Rick. Awesome editing. Speechless on this one because I haven't a 3 Putt Free Round this year. This will help.

Thank you! 🤘🏻
Watching this right before my first ever tournament. Feeling confident
Thanks RicK!
So, how did the tournament go ? Did being confident help your score ? Be honest... 😊😊
Great video Rick. I don't hit the ball nearly as far as my playing partners do, so I try to keep my putting below 30 putts per round. This video definately will help me continue that. Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant and very practical tips. Can't wait to try them out tomorrow 😀
Rick, can you do a video on the grip you use for putting. I also putt LHL and would love to hear some of your insights as far as grip pressure, hand placement, which hand dominates the stroke, etc...
The damn “one handed tap in” has been my hole killer lately 😂😂😂

This guy is a gahdamn genius! It’s one thing to know how to do something, but to explain it in a way that anybody could understand. Freaking amazing!
This is my favorite so far. Love these tips and demonstrations.
Thank you Rick. Did use your advises today. Improved my score and the joy of the game
One of the best videos you've ever done Rick. Fantastic
100% AGREE Rick...about leaving a Tap In! Most amateurs will improve their score by 2-3 strokes a round with this tip!
Dude, these tips are 🔥 I've been wanting to spend more time practicing my putting and now I have a good idea of what that looks like. Cheers!
5:05 this is the single best effect added to any Rick show 😂
That was 7?!?! I was just getting into it and then it was over...shot 43-33-76 today (so much for consistency), I need to find your bunker/chipping/pitching/30-50yd shot videos stat and I’ll be under par! Thank you so much for your inspiring videos Rick 💪🏽
Man. This one hits home big time. Missed way to many short putts in my golf vlogs.
We know that feeling brotha! Haha. Completely different game with the camera on
I've watched a lot of putting videos over the years, but that was the most informative one by far great job Rick.
Great video rick you've helped my game massively as I've only been playing for a couple of years thank you.👍🏻
Great tips Rick. You are always worth listening to. The king of golf vids for sure!
Best putting advice ever!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
Getting fancy with that editing on the practice putting stroke! Love the video!
Man I'm very frustrated with my putting, the only time I have to putt is my times spent on the green 😂 don't have time to get a pre game warm up or anything and I'm using a new putter haha hopefully get some free time soon get my score down. Been shooting between 49 and 51 just front 9 on my local course of a par 35 hopefully get it down to 45 soon! Defo an area that will take shots off
used these tips yesterday, worked a treat, especially like the practice putt the same as actual putt and visualizing it going in, knocked a few strokes off my round, cheers Rick.
Hey . Wondering if practice chipping to the fringe like putting would work as training
All of these videos have helped me tremendously. Rick is a great teacher even though videos.

Love you so much Rick I love tour vids I love everything you do when I was getting in to golf my first golf video I watched was yours
Rick's the man! A real inspiration. Just a stand-up, good dude
that putting special effect you used during the negative thinking tip visualizing the practice stroke was so cool to see!
Great tips Rick. Now I have a system for practicing before playing.
Excellent putting advise. Playing for the last 20 years, did know of them. Thank you. Regards
Love your golf tips. But I also bought a new putter. More like yours with less gimmicky stuff going on. I retired my oddesy two ball and the new ping putter with hardly nothing on it is easier to aim. The new club helped a lot.
The best production values in a "golf tip video" EVER. Think positive special effect; aim small pea in the manhole just killed! Also it was great to see I actual do one of these things already. Thanks again Rick.
I really appreciate how you get to the point and dont go on and on in circles like most golf videos on here
Great tips thanks I'm constantly bottling short putts.
LOL..... Rick... I re-wound that putting prep graphic like 10 times. Awesome stuff.
Solid advice. The single thing that helped my putting was (see #2) solid contact. However, I find it’s due to moving the hips while putting. DO NOT move the hips and solid contact come 90+% of the time. This allows distance and speed control which is critical as the amount of break is determined by speed.
Any recommendations for dealing with early extension problems? Not so much a putter problem... but is killing my game currently.
Hi Rick, these were really very good tips and most Golfers do spend not enough time on the putting greens and even more the technical "Ball replacement" in the scene of pratice putts was so funny.
One of your best videos, Rick! Thx for all your tips
Nice job Rick. I watched this video a second time and took notes to refer back too occasionally just to keep it fresh. Some of these I do on a consistent basic but some I needed to be reminded of. By the way...where do I find a course that has one of those magic holes that keep a fresh ball popping up after each putt? That was an awesome special effect. All the best Rick.
Hi Rick, you discuss using bluetak to promote finding the sweet spot on the face during practice, is there anything that would prevent a player from using bluetak or another weight adding substance to a putter in order to improve the balance during a game?
Amazing what you can learn from a few "simple" tips from someone who knows exactly what they are talking about, just genius 👏 especially tips 1 and 7.. brilliant.
These tips are equally important 'especially' the last one 😂 love it and can't wait to see someone putt towards the side of the green, 'so you watch Rick too then' it'll be like a secret handshake 🤝
Rick teaches everyone, I’m a hacker for 40 years and his tips have helped me already
Great video, great tips - learn the speed of the green that day on tip 1...I've played hundreds of courses and never has the putting green reflected the speed of the greens on the day but
Practical, common sense advice. Tips I will use every day. Thanks very much from the USA heartland.
Thank Rick. 1st game back today after 2nd lockdown. Watching all your vids during lockdown obviously done me some good as shot +4 gross. 😍😍😍 normally shoot in the 80's.
Great video Rick and fantastic editing with the ball popping up on the green 10/10
All of these tips are great. Another tip that goes along with watching your putt go past the hole is that if someone in your group has a putt on a similar line to yours and is putting before you watch it, it can help you get a read on how much your putt will break as well as the speed.
I love it: All of these tips are equally important, especially number 7... Great stuff
Always looking forward to your videos. Have been a great help for me
Hi Rick , I love your pre-warm up vids
Glad to see you including sports psych into your videos, Rick! Thanks for the tips :)
Hi Rick, all your videos are amazing to develop the skills. What I see missing are a series of putting videos showing various putts, green reading, distance, ball path etc. Please can you create a putting series.
Another great lesson that I have saved for April warmup. Do you think I can practice that accent and get some manky tees?
The think positive tip was brilliant
Rick, can you break down the armlock putting grip? Please explain it in details. How to grip it. Explain both hands position in the putter.
Thanks.
Loved the digital affects you added .. lol. Nice well
Rounded work 🤙🏽
