One thing you can say about Rick, is you know what you're watching is 100% real.
100% warts and all. That's why we stay
Until the day he breaks 75.... then we will know he is lying to us
Agreed! The good, the bad, and the ugly. Just a guy like us playing out there!
Let’s go Rick! I broke 80 for the first time this past Tuesday and shot 80 today. If I can do that with an old back and hips, you got this.
Rick channeling his inner-Rory on the first three holes. Too soon?
😂
Rory doesn't need to practice his golf swing anymore. He needs to practice putting 8 hours MINIMUM each day.
@@NLCovers the putt on the 16th was the the first 3 footer he missed in his last 496. It's all psychological.
😂
Too soon mate, too soon 😔
All that shortgame training and then use a 3 wood 😂
Well he’s been missing it left every single shot I watched for about 5 years….. two chipping lessons isn’t going to do much.
It’s because he has no confidence in his short game. So he tries gimmicks
that's what I'm saying!! why aren't we chipping after that lesson!! I hope his coach doesn't see this🤣
Pretty sure this was filmed before then.
Wouldn’t call using a wood around the green a gimmick… even Tiger has done it before. Can be really good for tight lie bump and runs.
I kinda want to see him play in silence with Guy just commentating from afar. I.e. he’s not distracted by talking to the camera about every shot he’s about to hit but just plays and plays well. We are all supporting you though!
He said (and Justin kinda confirmed this in their video together) that talking through the shot can help mentally by planting a seed...it doesn't always work, but it's a form of positive reinforcement.
This comment section is ruthless. I wish you goodluck Rick, golf is hard
Yeah me too, Rick doesn’t deserve the hate
Rick is a better golfer than most (Pros excluded) who shoots consistently in the 70s off the back tees on hard courses, while talking to the camera and not focusing 100%. That is pretty good, and my guess is Rick would beat most of the commenters if they played.
People are jealous of him. He's better than 90% of golfers worldwide. But it makes them feel superior with the chance belittle him.
That's because everyone here is off +7 didn't you know?
I dont understand the hate. Dose he go out an shoot under par every round no but a 76 is nothing to screw your nose up at hell id be happy as with that.
Hardly playing the same course wouldnt make it easy at all. I think he dose a good job an i enjoy watching the videos.
Get rid of the claw grip
If Dan Grieve is watching, I’d like to apologise for the short game on behalf of Rick.
LOL!
What short game? He chickened out and putted !
I feel they should be using the Benny Hill music on this video.
😂
Lol agreed 😂😂
Why?
Rick can usually be at or near par through 17, but the windmill on 18 messes him up all of the time.
Constantly talking about everything except the SHOT IN FRONT OF YOU Rick!!
“I need x birdies to score 75”
“My goal was to not make double bogey”… before you’ve even putt for bogey!
“ this won’t work tomorrow against Justin Rose”
“I need this to boost my confidence for qualifiers”
On the 4th hole you talked about the past 3 holes as you stood on the tee box and once again walking up to your fairway iron. Pay attention to the shot at hand and stop frolicking about!!! You’ve been playing golf for decades, how can you not adapt to the concept Rick?!
Its getting harder and harder to watch Rick play. Zero course management skill and a different swing on every shot. His job is playing golf - literally nothing else. Sad times.
He needs some time away from the sport. He should be much better given how much he plays and how involved he is in the game. His issues are mental, as you say. Needs to come back refreshed with a new approach.
Golf is a lot harder when your mind is elsewhere, you play your best golf when you’re not thinking about your swing and you’re in the moment.
It’s a lot harder for Rick to get in that mindset when he feels the need to provide commentary about the next shot, the previous shot, the need for x amount of birdies.
We all see every shot he hits, everything can be criticised. I think working on his mindset and not the golf fundamentals would benefit Rick the most.
Easy for y’all to say sitting in your dirty sweat pants home from your dead end 9-5. I think rickles is living the dream.
Worst mental game I have ever seen, its more self destructive than any course mgmt or bad shot, even the title of the series is a mental cluster fuck
Rick - you always set output type goals. Break 75, score 5 birdies etc. To improve you need to set input goals. Perform pre shot routine on all shots, mental attitude relaxed, select correct clubs for shot, ect, then output will take care of itself.
I honestly am a big fan and always wish Rick the best. That said those first couple chip opportunities. I think a low handicap golfer would have options like hit a flop or a nipper, zipper, one hop and stop, a little floater and land soft, etc.
Maybe a few hoosker -dos or hoosker-don’t

@@chancebostick8688 The bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps.
Use the Ping Chipa
I’m so glad I watched until the end to see the teaser for the Justin Rose video. You guys keep increasing the quality of each video, and I was amazed by the song you chose, which I’m sure it wasn’t cheap, but it made my jaw drop
Rick is a real golfer. Doesn’t edit out 2 foot misses like other UA-cam Golfers would. 100% genuine ❤
I think Rick needs to work on his mentality, try really hard to be more positive, every mistake he makes clearly affects him a lot and golf is about dealing with mistakes. The error putting on the 3rd hole I think is a good example
Not positive enough? He's constantly talking about birdies but can't string a few pars together. I don't know if that's confidence or delusion!
@@robertcourt8593 I think its more projection pre round. Once he's actually out there he has the same look as the meme, that's crying behind the mask when hes talking positive.. He just does not have the confidence to pull off these shots. Especially around the green. Justifying why putter is the play, when the reality is his fear of chipping is putting that putter in his hand from 25 yards off the green, leading to a "4" putt DBL Terrible course management especially at 26:06. Why play a fade on that hole when there is a bunker to the left? Just go straight at the pin. Id say the majority are rooting for Rick to succeed. I think he needs someone to talk shit to him lol. Like when Grant mention that Rick play from the front tees. Guy is to passive, and lets rick walk all over him. Get Finch in there to give Rick an absolute ASS stomping. Guarantee he will play better. Love ya, Rick!
@@richardbicker640 yep, and another think Robinson did the other day was telling him to think only in the next shot. And Rick is always talking about I need to make so many birdies in the next X holes.
I mean, bogey, double bogey, then missed 1.5 foot putt.....I'm not sure you got it in you, Rick....lets see how the last 15 holes go.....
5:10 giving us the Rory special, love to see it
He's got it down to a tee there
Rick, thanks for all you bring for our entertainment. My friend, please ignore the negative and harsh comments.
And please, for your own sake, dedicate yourself to improving your mental approach to golf. You are extremely results-focused and driven, and from what I can see, this is cutting into you simply enjoying the game. You put a lot of pressure on yourself, and you’re stirring up anxiety while you’re playing rather than calming yourself and resting in the fact that all you have in front of you is the shot you’re about to hit. Play the next shot to the best of your ability, then do the same again until the 18th hole is done. Your “best” today may not be your A-game, but it’s what you’ve got *today*, so don’t walk with a swagger or a limp around the course, just move forward and play the best you can while having fun!
For those who are allergic to fun: you can still be laser-focused and want to do well while having fun at the same time. You’re on a golf course, for goodness sake. It’s a game. It’s supposed to be enjoyable. Fight for the joy!
Rick and Micah morris should both try to break 75 so we can see who shoots 90 first
The only difference is Micah thinks he’s a pro 🤣🤣
Omg 😂😂😂
@@richardbicker640 Micah just thinks his shit don’t stank
@@richardbicker640 Jesus you absolutely violated both of them😂
Hilarious
I genuinely enjoy seeing Rick make his birdies because he’s like most golfers, living shot to shot. And when he’s playing good, he gets a little extra kick in his step. Great stuff!
3 holes in. I as a 12 handicap golfer (I don't practice or play near enough to improve that) am beyond glad to see that it's not just guys like me who point out trouble, then smash the ball directly at the trouble. Then on top of that, spend a ton of time "improving" a very specific aspect of my game (short game), to just avoid using it at all costs. I LOVE the fact that watching Rick is 100% genuine. Couldn't ask for a better guy to be the big cheese in UA-cam golf. Love the content Rick and can't wait to see the match.
Except he's meant to be a professional not a 12 handicapper 😂
I will never forget watching that shot out of the ditch. I leaned back in my chair and was whooping and hollering. LOL.
Rick there was some great golf in there please keep trying we know you can do it. Its extremely intimidating with the crowd we would all be nervous. Will never stop watching the channel
Always tough first time on a course, great to get a practice round in!! Very excited for the match! Great videos as always Rick, makes my night! Thank you!
Does a one hour video with Dan Grieve and Dan must be pulling his hair out!!! Rick goes straight back to his old ways - playing the shots HE wnats to play and no tthe right shot for the course or situation that he is in - keep doing the same will keep getting the same results
Rick, your course management is that of an 18 handicapper...
This should be spoken about more. I get tired of hearing people hate on Rick’s game because his game travels and he is consistently breaking 80 on some of the hardest courses in the world, BUT… he makes terrible decisions pretty regularly. High level golfers are much more conservative than Rick
@@danielhowell167 'consistently breaking 80 on some of the hardest courses in the world'
BS
..hello Rick's Mum.
@@danielhowell167 Bunker on the left of his 2nd hole. It's 270 from the tee. That's bang on his typical driver carry distance ('if I hit a good one it should carry that'). Lands in bunker...
@@danielhowell167 Lol, are you high? Consistent is not a word I would associate with Rick.
@@xbe1971 I’ve watched Rick for years. He scores in the high 70s on courses all over the world. You just sound like a troll who has never played golf
10:39 the music was perfectly selected here. Golfers clap to the editor on this one.
Love the break 75 videos!
This is so relatable! Enjoyed this, I need to adapt your positive attitude.
Rick is a very good golfer. Watching pros spoil us mere mortals.
Rick is like a mate of mine who's a decent golfer. I play with him every week and he never seems to play that well, he constantly talks about what he's doing wrong and then proceeds to play exactly the same the week after.
Rick - I think we can all relate to this. We want to play our best golf but ‘real’ life (work) gets in the way and there’s not enough time to practise and play regularly. It’s an incredibly frustrating feeling when you don’t play as well as you know you can, but the good thing is you kept your chin up and ground it out even when it wasn’t going your way. Stay in that positive headspace and those putts and scores will start dropping!
Rick , we could feel how disappointed you were but having just started out, you inspire me
So close to breaking 75! Really enjoying the content. Well done Rick, keep going!
I would love a day on the course learning and just talking golf with you . I have learned so much from you already it’s awesome . I just like your style .
Anyone who wants to break 75 should navigate to Golf Sidekick’s channel. Rick’s method is not the way of the playa!
Practice rounds are to learn love you rick my fav golf channel for a long time
Speaking of ol Peter Finch, can we appreciate how well he’s been playing.
Love the way it’s never Ricks fault in his famous break 90 vids 😂😂
Love RS videos. So much entertainment and pleasant and timely commentary. "I've been playing well recently other than a few blow-up holes".
Not sure which was more brutal; Ricks game or that dreadful music.
Nothing wrong with 6 over on a new course, some good shots there Rick. Don't feel to pressured to be entertaining when you play again just focus on the shot infront of you
The nervous laugh is what I’m keeping internal when I have blow up holes.
Loved this! Mostly because you kept positive. Good game Rick, this is REAL golf!
I’ve followed Rick since around 2018 when I got back in to golf.
Early doors videos were banging in terms of helping other golfers.
I personally think he needs to have a day off or a few. Go on a holiday without touching a golf club because it’s apparent to me that majority of his choices and shots are mental tiredness and just pushing by through to make the content as good as it can be.
Day off or two. He should retire!
@@matrix35 Needs to get back to what he did all those years ago.
He’s took the fame and now just blast out content to keep the constant income.
Fame changes a person and he’s sacrificed his skill that he once had for global fame.
Hate to see it, but that’s just what fame does and it’s clearly mentally tiring.
I was really confused not seeing Rick wearing a Lyle & Scott hoodie.😂
Really like the new lightweight option he’s wearing. What brand is that please? 🙏
32:07 So I have to ask. I’m a new golfer. I’m 44 and hit a golf ball for the 1st time ever summer of 2022. My handicap is solidly around 15-17 -
Why do many people that have been playing for years still try to fly the ball to the hole when chipping around the green? I would’ve pulled a 52 degree or a PW or 9i from that lie and distance. Just clear the rough and get the ball down and rolling as quickly as possible. It’s seems to me when you try and plop it in there, the margin for error is much higher. You need to land it perfectly. Just putt it with a lofted club and use the slopes to get it there. Seems like a much lower margin for error.
I agree, Rick does appear to be rushing things. I know it can’t be easy trying to film and not hold groups up. Good luck Rick 🇦🇺👍
Interesting comparing Bryson vs Rick shot by shot. Bryson is "analyse, analyse, analyse, execute, great/dang" - repeat. Rick is "execute, should/could have, oh dear, make/miss, heroic recovery" - all over the place.
Rick is a 6hcp (?) so +6 is an "average" score for him. First 3 holes were a disaster - not sure what happened with that tiny putt on the 3rd. Rick seems to think he should par/birdie every hole....but he's not scratch. Play a bad shot, recover as best you can. Get rid of that awful claw grip and practice your long putting.
Rick has become just another weekend hacker type player. When he hits a bad shot every hole, he acts so shocked like it never happens..lol
Maybe Rick’s best birdie on 16! What a save!
That putt from off the green on 2 was brutal to watch. Looks like such an appetizing chip shot
Cheering for you Rick! All these haters in the comments that probably can’t even break 100 could only dream of getting into an open qualifier. Literally have to be a .4 handicap or better last I checked you’re a great golfer!
That is an…interesting…initial takeaway and swing plane…
I'm still a beginner at golf. Rick's channel was the first one I started watching because I really appreciated hearing how he planned his shots based on the situation. But as I watched more, I noticed that he is often beating himself up mentally. He says he's been working on it, but there are still many times he goes into his negative head space. Yes, he recently tries to make a joke of it or does his best to be positive, but often times it is very demoralizing with the way he talks. When he starts the course well, he is usually upbeat for the rest of the course and it is nice to watch. But if he starts off less than his ideal, he becomes negative and he has a hard time shaking it off especially since he brings it up often.
Little tip for Rick from an 18 hcp here, the colour of the flag denotes the position on the green. Red=front, Yellow=middle, White=back. You’re welcome 😂
Played there the other week and what a awesome course. Fastest greens I've played on for a while but great fun. Its one of those tracks that all of a sudden you're on 18 because it's so nice to play.
❤ VIDEO IDEA 🙏🏻 - Rick has pro caddie, Rick not allowed to speak, Rick hits what he is told and how, Guy does the round commentary.
Rick’s not playing like a PGA pro at all. His problem is course management. He is making some terrible decisions and then compounding the errors.
I’d love to see a video where he is not allowed to say a thing and a pro caddie picks his clubs and tells him what shot to hit.
Love the dramatic music on the first birdie.
Found under a minute after upload. Yes! Can’t wait for these matches coming
“6 pars might be the new goal” 😂😂😂😂😂 I fell over when he said that
Real golf with RS and why I like watching is that if RS makes double bogeys, missing short puts and not great drives, it make me feel better about my level of play... even though I'm only a 19 hc..
Hinging of the wrists before the swing starts is what brings the inconsistencies it seems... 🤔 golf is hard... the man is living the dream in any event haha.
Rick puts himself through a lot for our “entertainment”. Sometimes a hard watch, but such a genuine and engaging character. Keep doing what you’re doing Rick..👍🏌🏼♂️
That was some show of resilience! Such a bad start but to battle back to where he did was fantastic.
Takes courage to post this on youtube. Well done for that Rick. Please get someone else to comment on possible shots and focus on your game. Your mind seems to be all over the place. Looking forward to the big match! 👏👏
Good recovery and looking forward to the match to see JR play the course
Rick you got this!! Will be keeping everything crossed for Monday! The fact you get the opportunity to try and qualify for the open is something most of us would trade our first born for!!!! Enjoy it buddy, final qualifying here we come! 👍👍👍
Stay with your pre-shot routines!!! Even with putting. And the next shot is the most important. Good Luck!!!!!
First shot of the video is an iron missed left. The Rick we all know and love.
He really need to fix those massive left hook, they cost him so many strokes!
10 minutes in and he's still talking about making 6 birdies when he can't make a par!
@@robertcourt85936 birdies is ridiculous. He’s lucky to get 2
18 pars should be the first port of call!
Watching Rick makes me feel I could be a UA-cam golfer off 18
Been a month since I have golfed now, my golfers elbow is back worse than ever, not getting better through either rest, and the theraband flex bar seems to make it hurt more not less! MRI is normal says the doc, months and months of occupational therapy didn't help last time so he finally did an injection of cortisone that made it a lot better but not perfect, that injection was about 7 months ago now. Should I find s different doctor and see if he has any way to actually fix me or go back to the same doc and let him inject me again?
Honestly, I think the goal should be to make 18 pars during the qualifier, and if birdies happen, they do. Putting so much pressure on yourself at the first tee shot is mentally very challenging, especially if you make a bogey on hole one for example. Good luck Rick, you got this qualifier in the bag!
Why are you bothering trying to qualify for the open?
You need to beat par not 75!
I appreciate you grinding out content for all of us...
Lessons definitely needed for Rick
play your draw on 1, hit 3 wood on 2, don't miss 18 in putt on 3 and you have a tidy +2 round. Good playing sir, best of luck going forward!
Rick needs to play 18 holes with Dan grieve... its all good and well practising 100 shots on the same fringe but every hole is different! If rick could add short game to his bag, he could easily beat the pros in the 10 shot challenge
The pro golfers that you have played with has been fabulous to watch Rick and now playing Justin Rose now all we need of this series against the pros golfers is Tiger Woods
Good luck on your big day, stay away from the 3wood on the short game and just slow down a bit and you will be just fine 🤗🥰
When you open the video so fast that it isn't ready yet and have to refresh.
All the best for tomorrow Rick, great content as always.
Two things that were obvious first no consistent putting routine and secondly, more importantly, not playing 1 stroke at a time. Looking forward to next holes and stating needs for birdies to make up for bogies. The only thing one can control is the present, the past is behind you and you can control the future. Golf if played more between the ears than on the grass.
Im crap at golf and it is a hard game but when i watch Ricks videos and Peter Finches videos the main difference i see is that Peter has a clear picture in his head of every shot he is about to play.he looks at the lie, takes account of wind, hazrds etc and plays a shot that suits. Rick seems to just walk up, look at the distance and takes a club out and hits his ball, and its always a bloody draw shape.... which results in him asking the ball to stop drawing!!! As for chipping, he completely forgets what the coaches like Dan Grieve tell him and just hits the ball.
Sports psychologist is what you need. Nothing more, nothing less. The pressure of performing has crushed you.
Serious question Rick, how much do you practice? Would like to see vid with u in practice mode.
Hit a +3 75 at my local course here in Southport England yesterday suffice to say I was buzzing.....
Really nice to see the course ahead of a 10 shotter ⛳️ 🍻
Don't know why but I always thought of pheasants as an American Bird. I have them in the field behind my house.
Call me crazy but for the day ones out there who’s been watching Rick for a while … is it me or ever since he signed with the new clothing brand he hasn’t been playing his best golf?? Like when Rick was rocking Nike. Rick was playing his butt off💀like playing crazy good golf … now he plays ok 🤷🏾♂️
RS, what did Robbo say to you? Walk up to the green/pin on those long puts...
Great to see you keep your composure though. Or did you edit the swearing out lol😂
You'd of been better off walking back to the 9th and starting again, that would of put you in a better mind set.
Loving the Vlogs mate.
🍻🇦🇺
Rick, my feeling is you play better, more focused, reading greens more carefully when playing with a flightpartner - sometimes putts are a bit hurried ... simply take more time ...
Not being an arse but when was the last time Rick actually broke 75 ?
What do you mean 'the last time'??? 😆
Pete doing it every round now
so many people hate on rick but couldn't hold a candle to him in a competition.
Just remember to have fun,don't stress or get in your head,you are a great golfer,enjoy yourself and I bet you play awesome
The graphics are getting a lot better. Did you get a new graphic designer
It’s good to get a round in before you play Rose. I play think you will play a great match with Rose.
Rick you should work on a fade, you start on line a majority of the time but over draw the ball. A fade will help you hit more greens, in my opinion
You had me until "I'm down here in London" 🤣
