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.
Those last two episodes might not of been fun for you, but motivating for a player like me trying to get better. Appreciate you keeping it real
@Don't Read My Profile Photo bro just why 🤣😭
@Don't Read My Profile Photo like a time machine to 2008
Could not agree more
Absolutely!!!
Well said mate, these performances may not be good for Rick but for us as viewers it certainly helps with the mental side of my game!!
Watching Ricks channel evolve from a guy playing with his mates and testing new golf clubs into a fly on the wall documentary about one man’s battle with the the psychology of golf has been glorious. The edits and music to create the build ups before the inevitable duffed shots and ricks reactions made me proper laugh. Great content guys keep it up and good luck for the next episode
Thank you for having me Rick and the gang. See you again soon and thank you all for watching. They put a lot of hard work into the content I saw this first hand and you all watching makes it worth while x
What did you shoot? Your game looked like you were in complete control of your game.
Absolute player
yeah I was waiting at end to hear Sophie score, we seen two birdies and a eagle
Nice Eagle. I told Rick I’m sending him a case of Eagle Sauce. I really hope he gets to taste it. Your game was awesome!!!! By the way what was you final score? Asking for a friend
Like others, I'd like to know how well you scored. Also, your swing is wonderful. Smooth, effortless and so controlled. Good luck to you.
Looks like you’ve got it in the bag mate. It’s mad that everything Sophie said seemed so simple and so spot on. I imagine she’s a cracking coach. Good look with the next one, really enjoying the videos.
When Rick said ‘get in’ to that putt on the 10th green made me cry laughing! Keep the banter coming Rick! Your videos are class!! The fact you don’t edit out any bad shots just shows how honest you are. Showing the world how hard golf actually is! Keep up the good work! Hats off to your team for making these incredible videos 👏⛳️🏌️♂️
You are Bad Rick hay .hay B....
Would love to see Sophie going round and explaining her shots
She opened with two birdies and had an eagle as well. Her ball was on the green many times when Rick was "chipping". I'm guessing she broke 75 and may have been under par.
@@michaelwatt1718 I would say she got around a 71 or 72 at worst.
To bad he only shows his secret lover Guys shots lol
I would have loved to have seen more of Sophie's shots and explanations too. Rick usually does this with Guy. Not sure why it didn't happen as much in this episode. One of the things I love when Rick plays with Guy is the banter between the two. There were a few moments of this with Sophie, mostly her encouraging Rick and celebrating his great approach shot and near eagle. As a woman, it was so extra great to see her role modeling such excellent play and camaraderie.
Looked like the long game was pretty sharp. Just wince every time you have a wedge in your hands. Keep going great to watch the series develop.
How often are amateurs told scoring happening within 150yds? It's such a vital part of the game and these videos show us why!
Bit of work on the chipping green and par is there for the taking.
Yeah, I'm not an amazing wedge player, but every time I see Rick chip I'm left thinking "why am I better at chipping than Rick? That shouldn't be!".
Would’ve liked to see a bit more from SW’s performance as well, but thoroughly enjoying the tips on course management :)
Best part about fridays in spring and summer!! The break 75 series!! Let’s gooo, Rick! Great work as always Rick, Guy and team 🤘👊
SOMEHOW EACH SNAP OF RICK BEING MAD AT HIS CHIPS WAS FUNNIER THAN THE LAST!
love you rick, keep grinding and inspiring :)
😂😂😂 I am loving the playful editing, throwing meme clips in there in a funny moment. Regardless of you breaking 75 or not, these videos just keep getting better and better Rick. Absolutely love them!
The editing on the series, but this episode in particular, has been PHENOMENAL! Keep it up Rick and the team 👍🏻
I think Rick should remember the advice Min Woo Lee gave him about half swings and hitting it softer, especially the wedges. Great Video 👍🏻
Yep. Rick's tempo has always seemed a little too quick, especially with short and mid irons. Because of his talent, he gets away with it, but lose a little confidence....
Sophie’s analysis is spot on. You need to find that ‘feel’ around the greens. I think some short par 3 courses and even pitch and putts would help you because within 100 yards is killing your score.
You are also too emotionally invested in every shot; getting both too high when you play a good shot and too down when you play a poor shot or get a bad break.
As a side note I also noticed that you speak very positively about what to do with the shot on the tee with driver in hand but almost always reference the pitfalls as you approach the green. Obviously this is related to confidence but has a way of being self-fulfilling.
Very good analysis at the end there, I hadn't noticed about his pre shot negative speak.
Agree completely. 3 things -> wedges, putter, and that all important top 12 inches. Keep going Rick!
The emotions do make it great to watch though 👍
@@playerone82 And I can definitely relate.
Great analysis from a psychological perspective 👏🏻 I’ve always noticed his negative self-talk and the negative impact it has on his performance, especially with chipping. He really needs to address this and change the sort of language he uses before he chips to create a more positive mindset and higher level of self-esteem and confidence
So today at my local course here in Largo Florida -- East Bay Golf Course from the White Tees I shot 74 -- Nope I am not bragging I was inspired by this series last year and started working harder on my own game Thank you Mr. Shiels I appreciate your insight into the game. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to break 75 every round -- but boy it was nice doing it today. Keep Swinging!
Way to go dude! I just got back from the course I shot 90 on on Wednesday and today didn’t look so good after 13 as I was +9 but I rallied and shot -1 on the last 5 and posted an 8 over 79. Broke 80 today and I have broke 75 only once before and hopefully I can do it again soon. I have shot 38 and 37 on the two days where I have only played 9 holes this year so I think for me it’s mostly a stamina issue. Just gotta stay hydrated, keep the swing from getting too big early so I don’t get tired later (I’m not in good shape), so until I lose some weight there are definitely things I need to do to combat my lackluster physique. Good on ya and hope to join you in the sub75 club again soon.
Mate you should brag just a little bit.😁. Well played, great score.👍
@@oztiger5663 thank you sir honestly just grateful 👍
Great to hear, Harold!
Well done Harold. I only break 80 once in a blue moon but when I do it's glorious. Feels like I will never play bad again. But then next round comes.... Why? lol
Sophie is a class act to have on the series. Loved the on the fly WITB
Not sure if you’ve addressed this before but, IF, they’re willing to share, it would be interesting to hear the score of your “Guest player” too. Sophie was cracking it at the start and a final comment on how she finished would be nice closure. No need to change the focus of the video but there is an investment in how they’re doing as a side bar. Cheers!!
Amen, I wanna know if SHE broke 75
@@benstaehr9595 I feel like she had too, 2 birdies to start and an eagle with her short game as good as it is, probably around even or better
Agree. The guest score above or below Rick’s score is all that’s needed.
totally agree, and they have invested their time as well, sophie is class watch her channel as well
For sure - this has been mentioned on other videos too... the audience needs closure lol.
Please don’t stop making break 75! Can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see a golf content creator that actually shows the bad days as well as the good days. It’s why I’m a Rick S. subscriber.
Funny watching Sophie relaxing on the green while Rick sweating all over🤣
Rick: this par 3 is a sucker pin, it’s smart to go for the center of the green.
Also Rick: hits it right at the flag
Don’t you dare give up! The struggle is what makes me so addicted to this series
Thank you for this beautifully-edited content and loved hearing Sophie's positive take on your game. I am trying to break 100 and can relate to all of the emotions!
*JUST GOT OFF THE COURSE - THIS UPLOAD HAS GOT ME ITCHING TO GET BACK OUT THERE!* 🙏
Imma be broke trying to play so muc
Tee shot to the drop
Still 2 feet of snow on the greens here...I might have to wait a few weeks...
Bruh this is a lie
*OK*
Keep at it Rick! Golf can get in your head and that definitely seems to be the case with your short game at the moment. Stay positive!
Also more content with Sophie please! She is all class.
Hahahha the production values are skyrocketing up on this one! A couple moments caught me with some out loud laughs!
Amazing as always Rick!
Rick I’m a big fan and have been watching you for many years. I say this with peace and love. One thing I’ve noticed in your videos lately, is your backswing / takeaway seems to be much faster or quick compared to your earlier videos.
Especially from 80 yards and closer it’s always over the back of the green
Rick is a great golfer and let's be honest, most of us would love to have his game, but the difference between him and the folks at the next level is their consistency. The pros he plays with (like Sophie in this episode) don't make big mistakes. There are no chips that go 20 yards or putts that come 10 yards short. They are super solid and that makes their game next level.
I think in practice he is much more consistent than in a match. The mental aspect is more where it's at. Many great athletes suffer from a phenomenon called the "Yips", a seemingly unexplainable loss of ability in the context of competition.
Rick is not a great golfer. He thinks he is. Generally to be considered a “great” golfer you need to be off scratch. A great golfer wouldn’t be struggling to break 75.
@@FelixGallardo1946 i agree, he is a professional because he KNOWS HOW to hit different shots, and can teach others. But he HIMSELF cannot perform at a top level, only explain how to.
I do have Ricks game, I can’t break 75 either!🤷🏼♂️
@@FelixGallardo1946 that’s horseshit. Corn ferry and amateur golfers are great and they win tournaments with positive scores at times.
It's good to see a real grind mate. Real golf with real mistakes. If anything it makes me feel better about my slow progress and reminds me that even if my score gets better, I can still expect to get the occasional double bogey and stuff. Just keep grinding and I can't wait to see the episode where you finally break 75, we all know you've got it!
I love the fact that we see your wins and your loses, but after watching you for as long as I have, I really don't care if you break 75. It would be cool to see you enjoy playing again.
Wt u mean he a “pro” isn’t he. Ppm pay Barr loads to have lessons with this fool. He should be up in court for robbery
She hit the nail on the head Rick...100 yards and in is your NEMISIS...You seem to have a battle between you and the wedges (In Your Head), and while your putting isn't horrible, you miss way too many!!!
BUT hey, I have some of the same problems! I can hit my Driver, but my mid iron game is HORRENDOUS (no matter how much I practice with them), and it leads me to making way too many double and even triple bogies! My somewhat saving grace is my putting, as it is respectable.
I should shoot consistently around 78-84...HOWEVER, one day I'll shoot 79, and the next day I'll shoot 94, and it's my scoring irons game (or the lack thereof), that KILLS me...BUT, I still LOVE and Play the game!!!
You're the sort of Chap that anyone of us (your subscribers), could play a round with, and have a fantastic time (Regardless of the scores posted), because you're a Humble, Down To Earth gent like we are! Keep plugging away...We're pulling for you!!!
This is such a fun series, and shoutout to the editor they did a great job on this episode. Well played to Sophie aswell 👏
I think both Sophie and Lee have given you good advice. Lee said you need a pre-shot routine and Sophie said you need to work on inside 100 and score. I agree, your ball striking and general play look smart.
I mean this as a wholehearted constructive criticism. Your reactions after bad shots are only making it that much harder for you to expect, and perform, solid play. The mental game of any sport is the hard part of the sport. 80/20 mental/physical. You have the swings, you've demonstrated that, but your mental game is what needs strengthening. You need to build yourself up, encourage yourself, learn from yourself, teach yourself. Don't beat yourself up, bully yourself, demean yourself.
You're a good player. Get your head in the game, it's got the most influence over your day.
Those short duffed chip shots drive me insane. I'd like to see him use a 64 degree wedge....
It all comes down to confidence Rick. We know you can play better than this but you need to tell yourself that. Maybe it's worth taking a break for a couple of weeks and not touch a single golf ball. Come back after feeling fresh.
Keep up the great content Rick very entertaining to watch! Really brought me back to the game!
I just hit a 3 wood shot 220 yards from the hole and it dropped in the hole. Saved Par. Luckiest shot of my life,
So glad you continued the break 75 series! Your 75 is someone's 95 or 85 and watching your ups and downs is no doubt inspiring to others playing the game of golf. As fans we don't want to see perfection, we want to see the real process of improvement so it gives us the confidence to go out and do the same for our own game. Thank you Rick, looking forward to the rest of the series!
Bro calls himself a golf pro, can’t even break 75 I’m 15 and I can so does that make me a pro???????
I love how authentic and humble you are Rick, truly inspiring. I am completely addicted to mastering my game with the aid of your videos.
U feeling ok.
I genuinely believe Rick would play better if he just hit 4 iron off any hole under 380 yards
Love this series, so glad you kept going. That magic round is coming, you can see it brewing. We’re all rooting for you
Rick should try toe-down chipping. Literally impossible to hit it fat.
Love Sophie's personality, swing, and of course her golf club reviews!
I get the frustration Rick, everything in practice comes off sweet then get to the actual shot and it's rubbish. I think for me it's the differing lie that throws me off as our fairways/rough here in Australia can be fairly inconsistent
Shot 79 today myself. You’ve started with two 80s rounds, now into the 70s, keep it up big guy. Much love from Michigan 💪⚔️
I’m from Michigan too, where did you play?
@@eddiebellamy7605 Sanctuary Lake Golf Course: Troy, Michigan (metro Detroit)
@@buffaloben15golf88 good course. I gotta play there again soon
@@tastefullys The conditions there have massively improved over the past couple years. In every aspect of the course
@@buffaloben15golf88 good to hear
You should make a video playing with golf clubs with no grips
Sophie’s swing looked really smooth. Would like to see more of her.
wasn't it? she just really knows what she's doing. good luck to her in future.
WHY ARE YOU CHIPPING FROM 2 FEET OFF THE GREEN?? Both shots where you putted from just off the green were excellent. One eagle attempt that just missed. One birdie attempt that just missed. The two earlier holes where you chipped were disasters. Get a chipper or putt from the fringe. There’s 2-3 shots every round.
Rick - really like this series! Keep working - it’s there! Love having Sophie on the channel!
Great video Rick and great series
Sophia's a super partner
Question what driver are you using ?
Keep up the good work
Love it. Such a great series. And I think most everyone on this channel would love a longer format. Understanding how you are approaching shots and just more commentary I think would add both entertainment and instructional value.
I bet Sophie broke 75..eh? She was really awesome!
Your better shots seem 'smooth' whereas the bad ones and those when playing Westy seem super fast - almost feels like snatching takeaway...
I'm like the others I live golf vicariously through you youtubers - keep 'um coming.
Why is there that kite thing that hovers in the air on a lot of the shots?
Peter from Melbourne Australia. What about a video lessons with Peter Cowan to help your game and videos you getting a handicap
Thanks
I’ve been practicing Rick I want to 1v1 you
Losing confidence is the 4 inches between your ears.
The greatest shot you’ve ever hit was the one from the ditch on the right of the fairway at north hants when you was playing with Peter finch about 4-5 years ago!
Yeah, good stuff that Rick. Makes me wanna go out there this weekend, if it wasn't for my wrist injury. Keep grinding Rick, you'll have to be ready for the GG boys....
Who else remembers Rick hitting it out of a ditch and just throwing a dart😂 we need that Rick back if he just keeps grinding he will be back in no time
Does Sophie’s style of talking to the camera remind anyone else of Peter Finch?
Rick, most of us dream to play the kind of golf you have, and are playing. This series is nice to watch because it shows that we all have those bad holes, or bad days, and that it happens to everyone. Very inspiring to the rest of us to keep moving forward and just keep playing Golf, because that is where the real joy is, not always the score! Some of us can't get out that often, so when we can, we need to just enjoy being out there!
Rick, first well done.Nice round sure wish I had your game.
Second Scrap the wedges ! they are broken......, Driver great, irons great that putter is money ! and how great is Sophie for a partner
thank you so much for letting us watch.
This is a wonderful series, inspiring for those of us who have score goals we're trying to reach, and that probably includes most golfers. Keep after it! You've broken 75 many times, and you'll certainly do so again. Practice those wedges!
Id love a round with sophie !!
Rick, seriously. Can't tell you how much I appreciate you. I've been following for a long time. From the gear reviews to the teaching and now sharing your successes and failures. Thank you so much for being you.
These episodes are good for us "commoners". Everyone struggles and you are keeping it real.
13:31 such a smooth edit/transition big props. Someone nailed it. I feel like the freeze frames of ricks moments are for a montage that Guy is putting together. Breaking 75 gone wrong reel.
My heart skipped a beat when the first frame of Sophie popped up. I love her. She is still my favorite podcast guest. Absolute class. I laughed when she said 'closest to pin?' She was having a laugh.
Your “worst” shots were my “I’m going pro!” Thoughts after shots. I’ll make a UA-cam channel and episode called “break 125” just for you lol. I’m so stoked to break 110 when I go out… and these always make me wanna go out and golf. Find your personal happy place! Love the videos
Do it I'd watch😂
Looked a lot better. Issues with judging distances inside 100 yds. Also, need to commit more to your putts. Overall swing looked much better. There are several sub 75's in there!
I know this video is a few months old now, but I still find myself cheering you on like it is live TV when I watch. Please don't give up on break 75. I don't care if you have to change the number to 76-80. I'd watch you break 90! Just rock on.
Great video Rick. Defo a better paced round, taking your medicine paid off. You're close to that 75, it's coming!!!
I've been trying to watch you for awhile now, and I don't think I've every seen you in a short sleeve shirt or shorts haha. I'm about to go play now and it's 87 degrees out! I couldn't do UK golf.
Kudos to your editor. Top notch with a lot of humour. :)
Hope he is getting compensated well.
RIck, I think you're one of the only channels I see that regularly documents the totality of your game. It's so refreshing. Great work, love seeing you striving to get better. Good reminders for us casual players. Thanks!
It's also good to see he is just as capable of hitting a rank bad shot as the rest of us. It's not all GIR / FIR and just putts sliding by
@@guyr7351 It does certainly provide a bit of hope and a good reminder of the massive difference between a scratch player and the rest of us. Short of Rick's mental game in terms of being too hard on himself at points, his ability to recover from a bad shot is admirable.
Rick you should bring one of us plebs on one of these break 75 as a morale boost lmao. Viewer has to break 150 you have to break 75 :D lol.
My brain- what a shot Rick! Okay, now don't give the hole away on this putt Rick. Rick......Rick.......whomp whomp
Excellent enjoyable video Rick, and Sophie is GREAT!!!! Have more her on your videos, and have her on more often, she was the highlight of the video!!!..
Making birdies when your game is on is all fine and good. Scrambling to save par is what makes a golfer great! I feel like you put way to much pressure on yourself to preform. Remember why you're there because you love the game.
Also sometimes I share this, the Bible says that GOD loves us so much that he sent his son JESUS CHRIST to this earth and HE lived a perfect sinless life.And JESUS went to a cross and gave HIS life for us.And rose again in 3 days and who ever will receive JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND ASK HIM TO COME INTO THEIR HEART AND FORGIVE THEIR SINS,HE WILL TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN.
Good effort! What did Sophie score?
Fantastic words of encouragement Sofie. Rick. Listen to what she said. Love this concept. Feeling your golfing chipping pain RICK. Love the channel. M
I Think Your Putting Game Needs "More Focus"................What Do You Think ??
RICK "how far would you want to carry this soph?" SOPH "no more than 75" Rick... thins it through the green LMAOO
you can see the difference from last week, keep swinging Rick! I'd take a score of 79 any day of the week!
Rick you need to stop hitting at the ball in the short game, more ELEGANCE softer hands will turn it around in no time.........smooth rhythm Rick! enjoy your journey.
Sophie is a machine. Bottle that and ill give you all the money..... -- Yep Rick....you are a wonderful golfer from the Tee to 100 yards....then you are a puddle. You lose 7 to 10 shots a round chipping & putting. Even if you just focused on taking that next step with putting.... you 'd beat 75 every time. Its right there brother.....keep on truckin'.
Golf is so frustrating at time. My index is 7.9 and usually shoot around 85. A few weeks back I was on a heater at +1 through 12 but gave it all back in two holes on the back. 13 pars, 1 birdie, 2 bogies and 8 & 9 on the scorecard 🤦🏻♂️
Good work Rick, nice to see you much more calm and controlled about it. Once you get those wedges behaving you'll easily break 75! Keep positive during the round, don't throw shots away in frustration... PMA!
Its a good thing that Ricks got a successful UA-cam channel.....as a pro Golfer??? no chance of finding someone who would pay for lessons from him...🤣🤣
Yo Rick or anyone in the community, I’m looking to buy a new set of golf clubs. Need help with suggestions I’m looking for the best bang for my buck for about $1200. Happy to buy second hand clubs separately just need help I’v watched ricks videos but I still just don’t know, cheers help would be appreciated
starting to get a little worried . . . rick's not getting any younger, and this quest for breaking 75 COULD have health repercussions. could. just sayin' . . .
Rick! We love you. And seriously, we do love you. And I'm sure you've heard this from fellows, other UA-camrs, maybe even Peter, maybe your wife. But buddy, you're really hard on yourself. I know, because I can be too. I'm not going to get self-righteous and lecture you. But we make mistakes lol. We shouldn't be calling our lag putt for Eagle "pathetic" and putting it 4 feet from the hole. Dude, you got on the green in two! Just wanted to let you know, I appreciate your videos and instruction, and we all love you buddy.
I feel like Rick practices too much with his driver and his "full shots." He is excellent at those shots.
Yet, his short game doesn't feel like a "weapon," it feels like a liability.
When you're 30-50 yards from the pin, chipping, you need to be consistently getting the ball within 10 feet. Not 10 yards.
I will never not watch your videos Rick. That reaction to your pitch from 50 yards at 7:45, priceless. I literally almost popped a rib from laughing. Keep it up mate!!!!
Keep working on that short game rick 💪(chipping). You have everything else in spades.. but you have to feel confident with a 58/60 in your hands. You have so many amazing aspects of your game already (driver distance / long iron striking / putting), I look forward to seeing you get even better 👍.
Rick’s videos typically have relaxing music (good sort of trendy), very clean and professional editing. I have to say, I am NOT enjoying these dumb memes messing with the flow. Sometimes less is more fellas.
What happened Rick? Your game looked like mine. Normally expecting better from you. Looked like your pace was off. Your usually more relaxed. Still a brilliant golfer.
Rick? would you take two tips from an old golfer? #1 do you know why you can't drown a golfer?answer , can;t keep his head down, #2 my dad told me, Son you have plenty of time to watch your ball, after you hit it. that's all. Love your videos I have learned a LOT....
I'm not the best golfer by any means. But to me it looks like your effort is outmatching your fun. Rick, from a scrub perspective, have FUN again man. Like, imo, you have a lot fun with the side stuff. Find a way to enjoy actually playing golf again, man. I've been watching from afar for a while. I'm at 5.12 in this video and it's apparent to me you're not having fun. It's a game at the end of the day and regardless of YOUR expectations, it gets the best of us. So F it, have fun, swing a club, go for it, and have a roll for the rest of us!~!!
