      i couldn't agree more. I've been watching rick for a long time and these types of videos are getting unbearable to watch. the negativity and pessimism is getting too much. he doesn't put in the work or practice as much as he used to so idk what he expects. he(or anyone) is never going to be a good as the tour pros. you can tell by the way he's way more up lifting to the tour pro he's playing with than himself. everybody gets down on themselves a little but he really needs to be kinder to himself. any kind of bad shot he immediately gets down on himself.

    I don’t watch Rick because he plays the best golf on the planet. I watch him because he brings me to these beautiful courses all around the world, playing with other amazing golfers, and gives me a sense of what it’d be like to be there myself with the best narration ability on UA-cam.
    One of my favorite UA-cam moments is when Alex Etches jokingly asked “what’s the course record?” And then proceeds to shank his 2-iron out of the rough and into the tall grass and falls dramatically to the ground. It was absolutely hilarious. Every great UA-cam golf moment doesn’t have to be a great shot. We’ll keep watching regardless of how bad you’re playing that day as long as it’s entertaining.

    Rick, I saw the video with Sergio. The worst you ever played. But hey, it was a lot of fun. I mean Sergio hit the ball unbelievably. Could have shot 5 or 6 under easy. But could not sink a putt. So, I suspect he was not happy with his round. That's golf. That's why we play it. I appreciate that you put it out there no matter how poorly you played. Keep it coming dude! Nice episode guys!

Remember that many of these people you play against are able to put so much more time in their game. I personally prefer to watch your non-playing content.

    Rick I can understand that your professional pride was hurt particularly playing in front of a hero of yours in that manner, but it was still a great video. I thought Sergio felt your embarrassment and was very good at trying to keep you positive. Also what a ball finder as well !!, it could have been worse.
    It would easy to file this away and for it to never see the light of day but to show the content I think is a strength. I do find it hard to not to reply to the critics and armchair golf experts. However the standard of the production, presentation and guests you have in these videos is fantastic. That goes for all your content. I think people need to remember that this costs us nothing and is free to watch and I can only thank you for it. Keep up the great work.

      😂No it wouldn't be "easy " to fork this out and act like it never happened, WHEN it eventually became public (which it would, Sergio Garcia himself would question why the video didn't came out, members that saw them filming, course employees, even Rick's employees in an eventual fallout) and his reputation would suffer. Rick DID hide a terrible performance in a pro-am way back in the day and guess what, everyone got to know what he shot and even worse, that he tried to hide it. Way too many people that know you and see you filming to hide ANYTHING with 2.5 million subscribers

    I don't know if it was as brutally honest as it should have been.
    I love Rick's channel. I love watching break 75 as well as the 10 shot challenge. I do think Rick gets too down on himself and I'm glad to hear he's going to take steps to not do that as much.
    But I do think there were some fair comments on the video that I hope he doesn't dismiss outright. It wasn't ALL pressure and the hectic schedule. When you walk up to a ball that's in 3 inch rough, 2 feet below your feet, and tucked behind three trees and your first thought is to hit a 180 yard slinging hook and land it on the green...you have to take some responsibility for that thought process. I think it's fair to say that most often in golf the safer shot is the right shot and I do think it would be worthwhile to put some thought into the mental side of course management and expectations based on how the swing is feeling that day and the conditions.
    I don't mean to be negative, just constructive so I hope it comes off that way. I really want Rick to beat one of these pros at some point!

    Rick. You don't get it. I see golfers every week year after year in the clubhouse ,spouting the same excuses and being totally deluded about their ability and skill level. I'm a fan and have been for 12 years or more.
    If James Robinson was playing those legends of the game, he'd have a chance, but you, my friend, will never be close to the quality and ability of James... when you turned pro, you were a 4 handicap on a good day, and unfortunately, that's not changed.... I also felt embarrassed for Sergio because he only had to limp around and keep finding your ball...
    If Sergio didn't have things to promote, also that you didn't have the biggest and best audience on UA-cam. The exact same with Tommy Fleetwood, no academy to promote. NO RICK SHEILS. Well, not on ability anyway... we can all shoot 64s and 66s on a really exceptional day, but come on, Rick get real.
    You have an amazing channel, and all that goes with it, you'd have to give it all up to put the time in to play good golf.. You're not fooling your audience only yourself..

    Enjoyed the talk around Ricks game. I can’t remember which pro it was but what he said really resonated with me. He said one of the biggest differences between a good player and a 🎉pro is the pro’s ability to let it go once the shot has been made. They forget it and move on to the next shot. Rick is very hard on himself. When he gets that way it becomes hard to watch him play because we know it will affect the rest of his round

    With Bad Golf is an opportunity to teach people something very important and that is how to take the small victories. I have been watching your videos for long and have noticed that your mindset is set more towards the (what wasn’t perfect about that shot) Even if a good shot is hit automatically you would say it was not a good strike or caught it thin remember that is negative reinforcement and its then easy to become very negative when the bad shot comes. And it will come for every golfer. And Instead positively building yourself up to where a bad shot doesn’t affect you. This has made my game a lot better and enjoyable.

What is a little “off putting” I guess it’s hard to understand someone with so many golf ressources not get fitted. Might be worthwhile to get fitted for driver, driver shaft, some easier to hit longer clubs (eg hybrid, 7 wood, etc).

    So relatable about being hard on yourself, very easily done as golf, is hard and cruel. I'm a high handicapper 25. Been on a bad run for about 8 months now. I was considering walking away from golf as I was finding it hard to enjoy. Also thought that it was hard for those out in the same round as me to watch. A few times I've had to walk off half way through the round. I'm now having golf lessons. My grip has completely changed. I'm now not expecting miracles as this is a process. I'm no longer counting my score, I'm mainly focused on my new grip. But my last 2 rounds have actually been some of my best golf I've ever played. I'm having more fun and enjoying golf more, now that I'm not focused on what I'm scoring, but more focused on the fundamentals of getting better. Apologies for the essay 😂

    I watched that 10 shot challenge with Sergio: I felt so sorry for you Rick. We’ve all been there. A few years back I shot my best round yet in a tournament 79 shots, the week after under similar circumstances on the same course I shot 113(!). I just couldn’t put the ball in play and lost 9(!) balls.
    About the UA-camrs getting a sponsor’s invite; my 2 cents it’s a great idea. 1. Getting eyeballs on, 2. Giving the sponsor more noticeability. But they need to show that UA-camr as well on TV. Or have a live feed on UA-cam, showing his progress.
    Anyway, Keep up the good work guys. Love the content.

    Big reason why you're my number 1 golfer and inspiration to start playing golf is you're relatable. Not in a bad way, but in a way that you're a standard where good shots are actually rewarding to see and not just know it's going to happen. I massively enjoy Bryson as well but I know he's going to hit within 4 ft and bomb a 300+ drive straight where he intended, there's less reward as a viewer to see it because It's almost a given. Where as knowing you have a chance at playing incredible golf but also playing bad shots, just allows the incredible shots to feel rewarding even as a viewer and the bad shots to feel relatable as we know golf is genuinely hard but that is only a small part of your game. You make the game enjoyable, relatable and overall a pleasure to join you at these places/ experiences. Don't apologise to people who don't like you when you play bad, the ones who do care genuinely don't care.

When you're negative, it makes the video negative, which is why sometimes I stop watching. It's incredibly hard I know. On a business note, negativity doesn't generally attract sponsorship.

That course questions my game, and I’d like to think I’m decent- you’ll hit good shots there that will turn out poorly because of the layout of the course. It’s then tough to rebound because of the speed of the greens. Chin up, you’re a great player- even great players have poor rounds.

    I once played with a guy who had a beautiful swing and hit the ball great; he never kept score. Makes me wonder if it would be more satisfying to hit the ball poorly yet somehow score well, or score poorly yet hit the ball well. Must admit there is something that tingles your loins after a well hit shot!

    I love that you are so open about your golf journey. But why not invite on or do a video with a sports psychologist or someone who is an expert in the “mental game?”
    You’ve done so many awesome videos on short game, driving, putting, etc. but never explored this CRUCIAL aspect which so many golfers struggle with (including you!)
    TLDR, I’d love to see you do a video with a sports psychologist or mental game coach.

    It was great to see the difference between a tour pro and rick. Sergio knew the course and the conditions and was always playing for the positions to be in.

    Its less that its hard to watch Rick play when he's doing bad, its hard watching Rick beat himself mentally. For example, I remember when Guy regularly joined Rick on courses either as an opponent or a team scramble, I'd watch him drive a ball down the middle, or nail an eagle iron in and cheer like he won the open, but the next hole he'd shank one so bad it probably landed in a different time zone, and he'd do that hole after hole, shot after shot. Great game, bad game. However, the biggest difference is Guy took each one in stride, laughed cause golf giveth and golf taketh away, and after missing 8 putts in a row would still say "don't bother getting your putter, I'll drain this 35 foot putt". That is what I love about Guy, and thats what I loved about Rick, he used to be like that too.

    Interesting discussion. I watched the match, I thought it was a great match. You played a course for the very first time against Sergio, who played it numerous times and he didn't score -10. I wouldn't classify myself as much of a golfer, but when Sergio said the greens are probably playing 12/13 I thought this is going to be a crazy putting day. That's like trying to putt on glass. Keep up the great work.

  • @keenanvanzile

    Spraying it around the course as short game is yippy it don't matter how many shots you give a tour pro - The funny part is seeing their reactions, them encouraging you so you don't have a breakdown. I credit them for hanging in there and supporting you when you play like a high handicap. It's probably helped Sergio image a bit to show he is great human being... Also it makes me think given your resources, ability to travel - do you even practice, do you work with a coach consistently- or do you mask it and act like you already know everything. Do you own the fact that your game needs help or busy always making excuses?
    The only thing that keeps me coming back is the tour pro and the over and under when you lose your shots...then from there it ends being a hard watch.

  • @jw11000
    @jw11000 6 місяців тому

    I wasn't surprised how you played (no offence intented). I enjoyed Sergio's reaction to how it played out. Someone who plays golf to a high level can beat anyone over 18 holes (i noticed he back tee'd you) and he knew it. Especially with 10 shot deficit. It never turned out like that but the fact that it was possible made it good viewing.

    I love the 10 shot challenge. I think Rick is a good player it's very difficult to be compared to a tour pro but Rick hits the ball good, it mostly shows up how good the tour players are around the green.

  • @LemonJelly360
    @LemonJelly360 6 місяців тому

    I remember Rick putting a post on Instagram saying how disappointed he was with his play during a big match, that was clearly pointing to the Garcia 10 shot challenge.
    My only comment for Rick is to remember that he is playing golf, working on his game, and looking after his health … for himself first and foremost, not for us. The fact that it is a business and we can watch him is arguably secondary really. I think taking your mindset back to why you (we all) started the game in the first place helps alleviate some of that dreaded self pressure to perform.

    It's funny because sometimes something will click with your swing and you'll see the benefit straight away, but then other times there's almost a 2 months lag where the things you've been working on start to deliver on the course.

    How about doing a Break 75 at a normal members club to put it back in to perspective, I’m sure this would show how good you can play at courses like we play at, that should help to stop the negativity. I saw a recent vlog at my home course from Real Golf, these guys were 14 &18 handicaps but still good to see my course on UA-cam, if you and Guy did a vlog there it would be incredible and you’d shoot the lights out. Check out Ogbourne Down’s Golf club

  • @jpmorris8759

    Enjoyed the podcast very much. Would like to comment...Guy mentioned that perhaps golf is ailing and this UA-cam event for a slot in the PGA tour is perhaps evidence that golf is hurting
    Mauled the comments over in my thoughts I think "professional golf" is hurting. You guys eluded to the fact and I know myself I watch way more "UA-cam" golf then PGA or LIV or Tour golf on TV.
    It's an interesting time for golf for sure.

  • @papercutpostman1660

    Sometimes, you have to get back to square one and re-train your shots. Put in the time at the range and find your swing. But I also agree with other comments, stay positive.

    @jerryvargas4961 6 місяців тому

    Would like to see content on your lessons w James and focused practice to improve your pitching and chipping and to stop hooking your shots so much. It seems like your same weaknesses manifest over and over.
    Of course your putting is outstanding and your distance is great. Also, course management is sometimes questionable but maybe that’s by choice for entertainment purposes (e.g. hitting driver into poor positions on short par 4s; going for par 5s when out of position or in poor lies).

    Brutal banter from Guy at the start ha.. I film golfers quite often and I can tell you now, I watch great ball strikers crumble on camera, power shanks/thins/fats/chunks etc. Its like playing golf naked, no place to hide... maybe do a LIVE broadcast from the course one day ie embrace the golf pressure cooker

    Your an awesome golfer Rick. Texas greens are just among the fastest. The beauty of Texas is that you can play all types of golf courses and never leave the state. You have Gulf coast ocean golf down by South Padre Island. You have Lajitas Golf Resort in the Big Bend Mountain/ Desert area, i highly recommend. You also have the plush grounds of Colonial in my home town Fort Worth TX. Windy plains out west towards Lee Trevino's home town El Paso and you experienced the Hill country, Austin TX. area. Texas has it all brother. come back and enjoy mi amigo!!

    I’m genuinely confused on the timing aspect? You said in a previous video that you would be returning back from America a week before the good good tournament and to extend wouldn’t be feaseable. But the dechambeau content and Sergio content was filmed in November? Maybe I’m confusing details of all this or misremembering what was said idk. Just my thoughts while watching…I think the content regardless of how well you play is amazing and you’re reaching people more by showing that golf is hard for everyone! Your channels are amazing. Thank you for sharing your story with us!

    Everyone has the occasional bad round, relative to what they normally play. Even pros. Whether one has had a bad day leading up to the round or not. That's golf. You have to just accept it, throw it away and move on. At the end of the day Rick is a scratch to a low single digit handicap golfer playing tough courses under pressure circumstances (filming, playing with icons etc.), and he plays really well for the most part, and I respect that.

    @jakehmckernan1 6 місяців тому

    I’ve maintained this on several comments that could be seen as negative, but I think it’s managing expectations a bit. I’m all for goal setting, but when people hear that pro word and hear you say over like 42 rounds you’re a plus handicap or around scratch, it builds an expectation not only in the viewers head but in yours as well. For example when you make like a couple bogeys and a double and then say we need to crack open the birdie sauce or like in the Sergio video saying you need to get back to -10, it starts to rub people the wrong way a bit. When someone hears scratch, whether on paper you’re technically scratch or not, we’re expecting to see some low rounds on the regular. Maybe change the goal setting a bit to like okay today I’m going to try to hit 10 fairways and 65% GIR instead of “birdie sauce needed.” Sometimes par sauce is just fine.

Like footy, we don't always win, but we never stop going for our team "you" just keep doing great videos coz I'm not changing teams just because of a bad streak my team will win the championship soon
