We don’t care about the bad golf, just have to be more positive on the course IMO
This is it. Find myself watching Rick less and less now as its such a drag. I watched initially cos I like Rick as a person, the quality of golf isn't important
Couldn’t agree more! Just some positive self talk and some good shots here and there!
@@RichieProthExactly, I would watch old golf matches or an ex or active pro on youtube if golf quality was the main thing I was watching for. I watch for entertainment and the occasional informational bit or tip.
Congrats your the only two players to never get upset when your playing like sh!t. 🎉🎉🎉
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.
I love it when John Daley walks to the first tee with a beer in hand and says what’s the course record.
@cynt1111 yesh but dalys being serious and can actually break it
Blaming the car fire is spoken like a true golfer 😂
I would have used that as getting back 4 hours late after the 18th! ;o)
🤣 Right? Funny that the title is "brutally honest" because most golfers "honest" takes are actually quite "brutal"
Nicely put Guy, golf is about more than scores, enjoy the walk, enjoy nature, enjoy the exercise and enjoy the social side because your friends are not around for ever
I am a 71 year old American woman who has never played golf. I started watching/following the PGA about 3 years ago. Found your show about a year ago but mostly follow quilters/crafters. I had incorrectly assumed that Rick had been a tour player in the past. Thanks for clarifying. I love your challenges, interviews, and comments (and accents)
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!
It was embarrassing. For us , for RS and for Sergio - a waste of time and energy for a celebrated champion....
You have done a lot of great work in the UA-cam golf space. The reality is that with all the different things you are doing, some things will take a hit. In this case it’s your golf game. 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. No other creators are able to get the level of access you are getting right now. Keep your head up and don’t be too hard on yourself - play the opportunities for what they are - great experiences!
Rick’s bad golf is my good golf.
I would be thrilled to have Rick's bad golf.
Haha its better than my good golf. There's levels to this game. Ha.
Rick's bad golf is my "I can conquer the golf world" good golf.
Rick you must consider adding a segment on a sports psychologist. It'd be great for us to get a sense of what these guys do and how they go about it. I believe you'd benefit hugely as your game is good but maybe could be better with some "help". I think we as subscribers would enjoy seeing this important aspect of golf and sport as a whole.
100%
My quick observation, and I love watching you battle Rick, from experience. You spend too much energy on the outcome “cmon we need a birdie here!!” Instead of your process or keys to make the swing that produces outcome.
We don't watch to see you hit the best golf ever. You are an entertainer. You lift our spirits, and when you do well we get to cheer
Now this is a very true statement. Problem is Rick is analyzing his game-If he wants pro scores he needs to change clubs to more forgiving and focus more on the game and less about talking or talk after the shots not before.
I would blame the entire round on that Adams driver !
So many commenters on the Break 75 Series compare their 82 on their home course to Rick's 78 (for example) on a championship course (he's never played before) FROM THE TIPS (sometimes in rough conditions) while being filmed and having traveled all day.. some people are just delusional haters..
#BIGFACTS that’s an 82 on there home course not even from the TIPS
Every 3 weeks there is one of these videos haha
From watching he needs to start hitting 3 wood on the par 4/5. He would lose 20-30 yards but could maybe have his 2nd shot from the fairway and not be dropping by the trees. I struggle with driver and just smash 3 wood off the tee and the. fairwayt on par 5s and long par 4s !
Hahaha it’s def becoming a pattern
I appreciate watching you struggle so much in this match. It happens to all of us golfers. Your humility is admirable. I’m rooting for you sir!
None of us care about the bad golf Rick! Just want to see you enjoying it and having fun. You produce some of the best golf content on UA-cam. Smile a bit more and enjoy the amazing position you've worked hard for.
absolutely- but when he starts moaning on the course or getting negative it isn’t fun to watch. change it to break 80 and be positive.
@@kentalbertawrex That's what i mean, just go and make it fun and be positive. We don't care if you hit a shank.
Far too hard on himself, he actually spoils his own game because of his negative reactions on the course
I subscribe to all of your channels and watch everything you put out. Never once have I been off put by your competitive nature and you complaining about your game. I get it. No different when I fail to execute on things I’ve been working on. Frustration is normal. We love that you’re relatable, ambitious, and not complacent. Keep on keeping on. Stay the course. We value you and what you provide us.
Only other thing I would say was emphasizing 2 comments I saw multiple times in the Sergio video:
1: Put the Ping driver back in the bag
2: Stop trying to shape shots so much
I agree, Rick hits a nice draw generally, just focus on executing that.Most of the pros only hit one shape
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
Playing in a brand new Golf course i usually don't mind the score squares/double square..... i enjoy the fairways, greens , bunkers and a couple of water hazzards... and thank the gardeners, green keepers ... its the only sport to truly experience something new ! Keep golfing Rick / Guy!
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!
I totally feel for you thinking about the Sergio match. First off thank you for your content and don’t let the negative comments get to you. People are so quick to say nasty things without any thought of what it feels to be in your position. Your drive (pun intended) to be better is inspiring and relatable! Keep doing what you’re doing! We appreciate it!!!
Its golf Rick, I shot a 76 Friday then a 95 Saturday lol. That includes playing the last 6 holes with only my 7 iron, a little Tin Cup play. Crazy game.
How many Wild Turkeys did you drink during the round?
I love your videos Rick. You are a top man. We all have those days. Maybe shot selection when not on “A game” could be adjusted. 👍👍⛳️⛳️. Trying worldy shots when struggling can put you in a worse spot and make you feel worse. Keep the great content coming mate. Love it!
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..
The 10 shot challenge is easily my favorite series in all of UA-cam golf.
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
Don't worry too much Rick, you should switch to some more forgiving clubs, especially in the top of the bag. I would say you need to try and play your own game (draws).
I like the fact that Rick is hard on himself. It shows he's not a loser, and has passion.Everyone has bad days, however to not be annoyed at youself when you've performed badly, then you'll never improve in anything.
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.
My Vanity Cap at my home course that I have played my entire life is 2. I usually try to keep it in the 70's when I travel to different courses. I will tell you the distances you play I would not reach a lot of par fours. Keep your head up and keep bringing the great content.
Honestly, the negativity doesn’t bother me. Golf is bloody hard and you show that you’re human. We also appreciate that you show every round, good or bad, the highs and lows. 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).
Don’t get it twisted though, til I die I’m #teamShiels 😃
Love watching 10 shot challenges and break 75 , you just show all of us how hard it is to play golf but cause you are a you tuber and a PGA professional, you should just enjoy it as much as as we do watching
I love watching the matches, Rick vs a Tour Pro. I mainly watch to see the shots the tour Pro can conjure up, plus the stories they tell us. I am always rooting for Rick to get a few birdies in somewhere along the way, but hey, it is just so much fun watching and maybe learn a thing or from some top pros. Keep those matches coming guys.
Don't worry if not getting the scores you want. Content is so entertaining and a great weekly treat.
I play golf every week, scores go up and down but important to enjoy it. When playing with someone who is negative, it sucks the joy out of the game and also impacts people in the group. Important not to let this into your game and videos
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.
Ultimately the internet has a troll culture that is out of control. There will be people who sit and wait for each video to be posted, just so they can pick at it, and pick at Rick. It's a joke.
The content we get FOR FREE is top tier standard and I look forward to the video every week. It's amazing to see some of the courses that get played, and sure the quality of golf isn't always sparkling, but isn't that the same for every golfer?
The main point of this is just to say thank you for the amazing content we get every week, and just remember to have fun more! 😁
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.
I for one hope you don't change I don't mind you being angry at yourself it tells me your competitive and you should be competitive never accept mediocrity keep moving forward.
An honest appraisal of the Sergio match, but it was still great entertainment. Had a rubbish day on the course last week, and it was out of the blue.....sound familiar? Don't beat yourself up, enjoy the opportunity to play on great (sometimes hard!) Courses, with some of the legends of the game...
Just remember that you are reaping the benefits of all of your hard work... ride the wave!
The bad golf rounds make this channel the most relatable and most watchable content.
People moaning about the H.I.T channel and your game but we wish we could play as good as you, have a UA-cam channel and all the clubs and gear you have.
Chin up Rick, no need for excuses, shit happens.
You will beat a tour pro one day.
Do t take this the wrong way but bad golf good golf who cares what these haters say u are making a good living doing what u love and 95% of us watching would trade places any day. Keep it up love the content!!
Lets be honest the reason the young lady is getting so many views is her outfit! Plain and simple. Her pants leave nothing to the imagination. Unfortunately many young female golfers on youtube resort to this tactic. Tell me I'm wrong and why.
Rick, ups and downs are part and parcel of life. It’s what we do and how we react to the downs that make us who we are in achieving those ups. Our successes are built on our reactions - you’ve got way more successes to come, I know you know that. Don’t ever lose sight mate!
I don't worry about your score . I enjoy the courses you play and the guests you play against .
Have you considered (I don't know how many have said this) getting to your locations a couple days ahead of your rounds? Take this as an example, had you played a practice round or even 9 holes the day before and then have a relaxing day of sightseeing, you probably would have settled down from the hectic day of traveling, then get a good nights sleep and have at it with the actual round.
When Rick hosted the Bob Does Sports guys he spent time to talk about the history and design of each course. You can always enjoy these aspects even during a bad round. I get to play the new Cabot Citrus Farms course here in Florida tomorrow. My game is in shambles at the moment so instead of worrying about score I will try to enjoy the course, the day and the people I’m with.
I agree, we don’t watch to see PRO golf, we watch to relate to our game!
Thanks for sharing Rick. I can only imagine the more popular you get, the more pressure you feel. But I will echo the sentiments here: we don't care about poor golf, it's poor attitude. 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. Viewers are important of course, but brands want to be associated with positivity. Keep up the amazing work sir!
I watch some of your videos, cos I know what to expect now. The guest & courses & tips that’s why I watch the channel. I never know if you’re a pro or 4 handicap.. GUY is the golfer we all relate with. 🙂.
Fantastic Podcast and so honest keep up the fantastic work. Also I thought the HC System changed so that handicaps travelled better when playing at different courses 👍
From someone who plays Spanish Oaks all of the time- I wouldn’t be so hard on yourself. 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.
Why would anyone comment on your game when it's not good, it happens to ALL of us. People forget that golfing AND making a youtube video will likely make u play less focused on your game. Keep these videos going! i realy liked the episode with mr. Garcia , very nice guy
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.
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.
Played there 3 or 4 times, great course. Depending what time of year you play the heat can really wear you down (aside from the free ice lollies😊).
Keep ur head up Rick. For as disappointed as u were, u played bogey golf on a very difficult course on a windy day. Clearly the travel and project were exhausting. Thanks for posting the video, it was a pleasure watching Sergio in an informal setting.
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.
Thanks for putting yourself out there Tubes! When we play badly at least we are the only ones to see it!! Keep on making the great content you all put out, always great to watch
I'd love to see you do a Break 75 with Scott Fawcett the Decade Golf creator on the bag. It would be a good excuse for another trip across to Dallas.
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.
Bold statement about how that would be the best match on youtube. Shell wonderful world of golf exists!
Rick, You are an Entertainer. It is so fun watching You😀👍🙌🙌🙌
Rick - a big fan of all your content. Reference the Sergio video - we all have days when it doesn’t click - would really appreciate a video etc on how to try to change this mid round…
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.
Do you think Brysons long drive lesson messed up the rhythm of your swing?
Loved the honesty here Rick, stick in you are definitely too hard on yourself. Hopefully see you soon not terrified when over a little chip 👍👍
We all try and play perfect golf , there really isn't perfect golf we all search for it we are human beings after all not robots , its a game which 1 pure shot will bring us back for another game , great content buddy keep it up .
I thoroughly enjoyed your “Garcia” video thanks .
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
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.
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.
I like watching Rick for the comedy value, so funny... keep it up buddy, love it...😄
Yeah Rick was I would say going through a tough stretch of golf right now and I can totally feel his pain because I am as well
Rick is so much more than a round of golf. That is why I don't care who wins or loses. The great interaction with his opponent is what carries the round for me.
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!!
28:15 - brutal Guy! He's already feeling low, don't kick him while he's down.
When are we going to see the new aperell out here in Australia???......Appreciate that you put all the content out there no matter how poorly you played.
Just catching up on your podcast guys…..always remember Rick perception always supersedes intention……we all love you by you do and loved watching the Sergio content 👍
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.

Hope you get your golf game back and you enjoy the rounds and company.
What about adding mizuno irons to your bag as your next set of irons.
I have mizuno jpx 800 pro forged irons from 2011 with extra 4 65g grafite irons 3-pm and mpt11 56° 12 bounc also mpflihi 18° 2 iron and m1 12° driver and cleveland classics 1.5 putter 2008
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.
This feels like a déjà vu moment. I know I’ve been here before lol .
I don't watch Rick because he plays with a good score, but because he portrays the reality of golf. He's someone I can relate to and seek support from when I've had a bad round of golf.
Golf NEEDS stories like this. They are in the business of ENTERTAINMENT not golf.
The tree shot was not Valderrama... it was in Chicago at Medinah
tough day at the office. Would love to see you play with Ernie Els in this format
Best podcast yet, well done gents
Take this advice from someone who lives in South Florida, the only time you want to fly in/ out of Miami Airport is if you're flying internationally. If you're flying within the US, fly out of Fort Lauderdale or West Palm Beach. The traffic in Miami is the absolute worse.
When you release a video were you don't play well all I'm doing is you are the underdog and I'm on the edge of my seat hoping you turn it around and get the win just like watching my footy team you are always going for them no matter what and when I see a good shot I'm like F@#k yeah where back in this. 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
a great podcast! Wish i could hear more from Rick...i would prefer Rick's longwinded answers than Guy's longwinded questions...😅
