That back 9 was solid.
Do it again next year.
Was great to watch.
Back 8 was solid U mean
He’s about a 6 handicapper these days, what’s the point
Yar, thought he was going to finish about 25 over
Why not just try again next year? Why give up? Just try to improve upon your result next year and push for 75 in the qualifier. Take advantage of the years you are physically able to play well, that way you don't look back in a decade or two and wish you had.
Well said!
Bc he doesn't have mental toughness. You can tell by his body language every time he steps onto a course.
100%
Agreed, most people would love to be good enough to even have a chance to attempt qualifying. Would love to see you give it another go, we enjoy seeing your competitive juices get flowing.
@enzy6434 FYI I DID watch the round as I have most if his video's but at the end of the day on and around the green he's not good enough......I'm not slagging the guy off it's just the truth.....But the way they talk like what could of should of, is comical....most video's I've watched eg 10+ etc....he's been lucky to break 80 so what does that tell you?????
Again I've all the respect for Rick as a UA-cam golfer and his content but when he talks like he's up there to compete on the tour.....I'm sorry he's not. It's a different level ....totally ⛳️
Is it just me or is Ricks voice pitch higher sounding in this video? 🤣 Man took a drop of helium before recording 🤣
It’s really bad. Lol
Guy as well, something is off with the audio
@@yooouuuuu Audio is sped up for some odd reason.
0.95 playback speed sounds better
It's been sped up by about 10%
I'm surprised Guy didn't give Rick any grief like he did with Peter Finch a few years ago.
Well Rick posted a better score than Peter now. Peter was +12..
@@TtvPhenrik1 +9 or +12, a distinction without a difference. Neither are close to qualifying by a substantial margin and neither player should be criticized for trying.
I can think of one case where I made comments about a player's tournament scores. In my large size city's amateur championship, one of the players with a +2 handicap didn't break 100 in any of the 3 rounds on different courses of the tournament. Vanity handicap immediately came to mind. I suppose the player could have been injured, but shooting 100+ ??? I think he should have withdrawn because he would be distracting and slowing down other players trying to do their best.
I imagine, like a lot of viewers were, he was expecting Rick to shoot around 80 or so.
@@twostate7822 there has been a bit of back and forth. Especially in Peters camp. When they talked about the last golfbidder challenge, a turd in the rough cut studio laughed and dissed Rick. Now Rick posted a better score than Peter in the same open qualifyer. Peter has worked his ass off and gone through a while list. Multiple trainers and fittings. (Rick has done so in the last weeks aswell) but he basically ahowed up and posted a respectable score. (Both did, coz it is elite level)
They played two different courses you can’t and should t compare scores. In the end they both played rubbish and well below their capability
This podcast was as entertaining as watching the Open qualifying round. Hearing the behind the scenes thoughts and emotions is what it’s all about. Keep it going next year, and do the best you can for as long as you can!
Love the positivity. You’re right you hit the ball well. You really do need a caddy to keep you level and someone you’d listen to when they tell you the line to take or the best place to miss. Like to see you video it again.
Good effort. Enjoyed watching , very relatable moments....and I shared your feels on some shots... Would be happy to see you get better from year to year....good on you Rick, honestly it's inspiring to young and old.
I think you and Guy owe Mr. Peter Finch a bit of an apology for all the flack you gave him last year for continuing trying to participate in Open qualifying now that you want to pick it back up again.
Yes I agree but it won't happen, don't you know Rick is the only UA-cam amateur golfer who has came up with all the golfing content on UA-cam.................
🤢
Yeah, great point, Guy and Rick took the piss out of him for trying, basically saying he had no chance so it was stupid to do, now they are squeezing a bit of content out of it the same way and its a great idea.
Lol esp Guy. The little weasel Guy years mocking Peter. And sits here praising Rick for a hour. The ultimate yes man.
I was thinking the same but in fairness it was more Guy. Peter Finchs game has trended so much it's a shame about his final round!
So glad to hear you're gonna keep grinding! I do hope you film all the Open Qual. rounds you play though, its so fun to watch, especially for us American viewers who dont have the opportunity to play all those great links courses. And I would agree - your putting lately has been fantastic. It was easily the strongest part of your Open qualifying round. Good job Rick!
I loved it rick. You inspire me. Thanks to you and the team. Good to see a raw edit - felt very different!!
Two bad shots?! He said he only hit two bad shots?! Totally delusional
I played one of my worst rounds of golf this morning and truly left the course feeling like I wanted to give up on golf. I'm only a little over a year in and I struggle with a lot of various parts of my game, most notably my driving and irons, but regardless after watching this and listening to you remain optimistic about playing more qualifiers going forward definitely helps me want to stay positive about trying to get better. I love golf and really want to improve. Keep at it Rick and I will too!
Remember, you’re never as far away from finding your swing as it feels. Keep searching for that one swing thought!
Outstanding attitude and mindset Rick. Looking forward to all the content to come.
I loved the Open video. Limited commentary and some good golf. I enjoyed not knowing what shot was going to be hit or attempted to be hit. Should sprinkle a few Break 75s in this format on your channel.
A new lease of life, Rick! Can’t wait for more to come ! Was great to see you compete !
keep it up rick i enjoyed watching the match you inspire loads of people enough to get me to buy a set of cheap clubs and get me out the house been to the range a few times THANK YOU for beeing there
We watch these for you mate, regardless of the score the raw and real emotion people relate too.
I loved watching it! I would love to see this be an annual thing!!!
Yes Sir!!! The mindset that should be all along! Amazing, looking back with evaluating -- it's easy to see; now yer free to "shoot" without bias. I love THIS side of revelations; I see a different Rick (one we've not seen in a while) ... Welcome Back!!! Be Safe
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Being a high handicap player (typically double bogey golfer) ... you give me inspiration to enter a local tournament (obviously, after a LOT of practice). I am sure I would end up in last place but for the experience, it would be awesome. Please try again next year !!!!! ⛳️
We need a follow up podcast with Peter Finch. The internet never forgets!
Really enjoyed the Open qualifying edit, serious work by the team, unlucky Rick, take the two triples away and it was a v good round. Funny, if i ever break 85 i will be thrilled🤣
What I love most about UA-cam golf is, that it’s relatable. I’d much rather watch you struggle a bit and pull off a decent score or win. Because I struggle out on the course. Golf is the hardest game period. And pro golfers make it look so easy that it’s boring to watch. In my opinion you did great Rick!
Well done Rick. You can be proud. Takes a lot of courage to take that leap of faith. Make it an annual thing
Great podcast, and signs of self-awareness. Thrilled to hear you will give it another go. @15:25 and the better you are playing, Rick, the better we (well, I at least) enjoy watching. Just saying. I often struggle to watch you struggle, while still trying to produce watch-worthy content. Focus on improving your game (physical and mental) and becoming competitive, and take us along for the ride. That's the content I will enjoy most, and the better you get, the louder I'll cheer 😊.
I missed the self awareness moments. More self gratification.
Had you both been on the helium before recording this pod or are my speakers on the blink?
I've recently joined the Amateur Players Tour in the US. I've picked up golf about 5 years ago, this year I'm down to about 13hcp and the competition mindset (though I've played college baseball) is a whole different animal. It's still amateur stuff and nowhere near this, but the preparation and performance in those events is hugely different.
I've found a way to get a back-to-back win a week ago, but it takes dedication and practice.
Thanks for bringing this to us Rick!
I'm far from your level of play, but I can relate so much to you. So many times, it's the two or three deflating holes that depress me. But I look back at the other 15 holes and things don't seem quite as bad. My best to you!
I would love for you to do this more. It was amazing to see.
In golf as in life, the bounceback is extremely value. Good on you, to rally after youd had your steering wheel slamming moment!
Proud of ya Rick ! Without some failure there is no success. Keep on pushing
Fair play Rick, I know that feeling of just wanting the ground to open up and swallow you, and it shows a huge amount of humility to get back out of the car and probably make some people's year by getting the chance to meet and interact with you after that.
Love this video. How about picking a course and on the "practice day" film a break 75 and the next day shoot a "Qualify for the Open" video where you try and shoot a score that had been posted in an Open qualifier in the past on that same course?
Glad your not stopping playing comps. I think we all really like it, 1 month a year to grind for it. I think people love watching you try to qualify
I hope you keep entering tournaments! I think putting yourself against these players pushes you to play better. Regardless of the outcome, the qualifying video was great.
Genuine and raw, Love to hear this!!
It looked like that course was difficult on the day. The bounces were ridiculous like a trampoline. Well done Rick. Definitely do it more & more. 9+ is now a baseline to break in the next one!
Rick you inspire me every time when I hear your podcast to keep getting better at golf. Thanks Rick 🙏⛳️
Compare Rick's first tee shot to Peter Finch's. Great to watch both matches and all credit to everyone who took part. We who criticise from the sidelines have no idea what it can do to your head when you step up to the mark.
Well done all UA-camrs! 👏👏👏
I'd love to see you go for it again Rick, sure you had two bad holes but like you mentioned you played some great golf as well. Even with the triple on 18 that back nine was awesome to watch brother. You're a legend in this game man, I'm sure I speak for many when I say we follow you not because you're one of the best golfers on the planet, but because we can actually relate to you
Rick, golf is hard. You gave it a good go be proud! Love you mate
You did hit some really good golf shots on your round … I felt for you when you hit some of those layup shots into the weeds or OB (gawd how many times have I done that !! 😂) …. You know what you did on course management but for me you left quite a few shots on the green that could have been a round changer …. When you fall off that horse you know what you gotta do !! Looking forward to you doing some future tourney videos 👍👍
Honestly Rick beside the bunker shot and the blow up on the last this was a very solid round. +6 on two holes +3 on 16. That’s good for ya bud. Love the content and enjoy every bit of the qualifier!
It was more than those 2 shots. The long iron off the tee, was pretty bad. He was constantly in the long fescue. He did hit some amazing shots out of it though to save his par. I would love to see him hit a hybrid off the tee, or a 5 wood. He also needs to find a different driver, and maybe play a little more forgiving iron. His back nine was pretty impressive though until 18.
Hit the nail on head when said “you feel like there is a good game in there” it will come, and got do the qualifier every year although no usual commentary it’s drama and entertaining…we are all behind you
Every mid-handicapper says that 😂
@@davidgraham8058 aye 🤣
The qualifying video was entertaining, and relatable Rick - You just couldn't get it going on the front nine but the back nine was solid (we'll ignore the tee shot on 18..)
Gotta go for it again next year mate, you're one of many that didn't get it over the line, but while you're in a position in life to able to have a crack, then you HAVE to take those opportunities. 👍
I like the internal evaluations you do.
At some level we all relate to you in that.
I watched that video great job sir.cheers.
The style of editing on the video was very refreshing
He’s going to enter future open qualifyings and not document them 😂. Thats the most hilarious thing I’ve heard this year. Obviously they will be documented and I very much look forward to watching.
We use to have a senior professional that told us as young players listen to us saying I could have done better , his always said if you could have you would have ………tournament golf is hard …..well done for trying Rick …..you still have the fire …..👍👍👍
Such a great discussion. I think most casual golfers can relate to this.
Rick the content was unreal! 🙌🏽
Rick I always enjoy your content weather it's casual rounds, instructional or tournament. A bad score will never drive your true fans away, and 81 sheesh I wish I could shoot an 81
You have to document it. All the fans of the channel want to see it.
the way you play that back 9 was stunning, you just need to do that for 72 holes and you can start competing on the challenge tour then eventually the european tour once you've won a few events on the challenge tour, then once you win a couple of time on the european tour you'll get your pga tour card and into all the majors, and then who knows you could end up with 6 majors at the end of you career
Ive listened to that book play to play great like 10 times ...such a good book! Great to listen to driving to the course.
Why is the speed up on the video? Rick pitch is high in this and they seem to be talking quick 🤔, and I already checked the settings on my video and account and it is all set to normal speed 🤷🏻
Rick, you hit some pretty good recovery shots, but I’ve got a few tips that might help you get over the hump.
1. Throw that driver in a trash can.
2. Pour gasoline in the trash can.
3. Toss a lit match in the trash can.
4. Go find your Ping driver.
5. Go play golf.
I know you didn’t like the Qi10 max driver because you didn’t get very good distance with it, but perhaps with a proper fitting you might be able to squeeze out a few more yards. When I had my fitting, I was able to get the most distance with the standard model as well, and the max was reliably straight like you, but I was only losing seven yards on average with the max. I opted for the reliability, and it’s now the club I have the absolute most confidence in off the tee box. I just get the sense that you’re wanting to make the Cobra work for you, almost a square peg in a round hole.
It makes me kind of sad that the cobra driver doesn’t work for him. I play the dark speed and I love it. I feel like cobra doesn’t nearly get played because everyone so focused on taylormade n all other brands but they make really great products.
Or go back to the Adams driver he had in the bag for a while
Toss the 3 iron in there too
throw in the trash can those blade iron and the 3 iron also for good mesure :)
The Cobra driver makes no sense. Makes me wonder if he’s getting paid to play it.
Good point on goal setting. I think with Open Qualifying no matter how well you're playing, or what you think your limit is you HAVE to go in with the mindset of qualifying for the next phase. Going in with "Break 75" as the goal was probably too low and then as you said yourself you start to accept or want 77, 78, 79 quite quickly. Good reflection, lets go again next year.
There’s tranquility in taking on chaos…and living to tell about it. Insanity is doing it…genius is knowing you’re going to get through it.
81 on an Open Championship qualifying course without a reliable driver and being smack in the middle of a serious short game slump is quite admirable. Sort out the tee situation; we will sacrifice the driver reviews. Build back the confidence around the green.
That's a great attitude Rick. Your job is content creator, the main goal is to make entertaining video's and in that regard you're incredibly successful. This requires running a business. Playing golf may be the main content, but it's not your biggest priority in life, everyone knows that and nobody expects you to play in the majors. We just want to see some good content, which is exactly what we get.
Try again, thank you for recording that round. I know I would fold. I am sure the pressure is insane. Next time try using that Kirkland set 😉
You need to really sign up for Decade golf. Scott really focuses on “not making birdies “. You talked about using a fade off the tee yet you didn’t commit. Front 9 you didn’t drive well after 1. Scott has great videos that are only on the app. Explains it all. It has helped me. Love everything you guys do!!!
I stopped listening when he said I think I only hit two bad shot
Yeah there was a lot of second shots from thick rough due to bad tee shots, only 2 bad shots lol
Great attitude. I hope I can get my game in a place where I can enter.
Currently playing off 2 and concerned I have a similar mentality to Rick right now, when playing a tough course I don’t feel I can get dropped shots back atm.
Rick I think if you try again next year you'll have a little more confidence going into qualifying I'm sure you know what you need to practice on to get yourself ready for that type of qualifying I say give it another shot friend
I play tournament golf and obviously casual golf. To me they are exactly the same. I have never felt more pressure playing tourney golf in front of a crowd than playing with my mates. I try to play the absolute best golf every time I tee it up. I also always make sure I have fun and enjoy every second of the round. I am a 3 handicap. Never understood the pressure people put on themselves...it hurts your game.
I shot an 81 in state amateur qualifier last week, and I feel the same way, Rick. Weirdly made me feel more invigorated and confident.
Great qualifier Rick, don’t worry about the golf. If you are happy with just playing, you will never be disappointed with the results. There were more than 2 bad shots, until your honest with yourself you will never improve.
You did well Rick S, getting into 100 in Open qualifying when its not your earning profession is great. Very good round on a competitive tournament. No regrets. Just great sport
It would be great to see how you approach getting better.
Golf-wise me & Rick are in a very similar position. I’m a former 3+ and now struggling to play off 4. I’ve had the yips in my chipping for over 2 years and I hit rock bottom. Fortunately I am getting better but the frustration of playing bad golf almost made me walk away from the game as I just wasn’t enjoying it.
COURSE YOU ARE. ME ME ME.
Somethings wrong with the sound, your voices are a bit squeaky.
Vid sounds like its been sped up a few percent
Where can you hear this on audio only?
Play next year , it’s the best any course can be set up all year and you’ll have a great following and you can shoot level par ⛳️👍
It so good you have taken so many positives out of your round
Rick that front nine you hardly hit a straight drive and hit most of your second shots from knee high grass, it was definitely not your best game
Yesterday i played the my worst round in 2year … I needed to hear this 🙏
Caddy 100% required next year! You got this Rick
I compete in many sports. Winning requires you to play the game on 3 levels. 1) Mentally - know the rules, strategies, your strengths/weaknesses, how to adapt, how to focus. 2) Emotionally - you must have the drive, determination, confidence, courage, guts, aggressiveness to go for it. 3) Physically - you have to have put in the time to develop the skills and be able to execute the desired strategies and shots. Anyone can learn #1 and practice to develop #3. Developing emotional strength takes just as much work as developing physical strength. This is the what separates someone who crumbles after a bad first 9 and someone who comes back to shoot -1 over the next 8 holes even though "winning" is impossible.
Definitely do it again. PMA is key. Your mind is your worst enemy. Keep that self confidence up even on bad shots and you can win.
Golf is tough... I missed out by 1 and didnt hit too many bad shots.
And this is only regionals!!
More practice needed for us all.
Respect for having a crack and being prepared to document it.
But don't milk it now. Two bad shots? We saw it mate. Good luck to you but don't delude yourself.
I still maintain that tee to green is fine...you need to keep grinding at that chipping and your approach shots will improve as the feeling of "I can get up and down"
Atomic Habits! You need to read/listen to that book. Goals are great for setting a direction, systems are the way you achieve them
You should play a few events going into qualifying
Boy a lot of people on here dragging rick. Open qualifying is just that, open. What’s the harm in doing it? I enjoyed watching it and it’s not like he shot an embarrassing score. I think he should do it every year.
The problem is they are just not good enough. I don’t think Open qualifying should be as open as it is. It’s ridiculous that scratch golfers think they have a chance to qualify.
It is this attitude that has been the biggest drag on growing the game....who.cares what a qualifier shoots let them play
@@kimwood7718 why not let 12 handicap players play then?
Why not?
@@kimwood7718 😂🤣 what’s the point if they have no chance of qualifying? C’mon, you are being silly. If every 12 handicapper had the opportunity to qualify for the open, the qualification period would be months.
Would've, could've, should've is the trap that most if not all golfers fall into looking backwards to what happened. The challenge is often focusing on the most important shot you have which is your next one. A maddening game. 😅
Rick, just am reading the 3 principles of outstanding golf. Don't know if you've given it a read but I think you may benefit from it. I think you think too much and attach feelings to your thoughts. Seriously opened up my mind on this stuff and you may get something out of it as well
After watching you play I must say, you would be a welcomed addition to LIV golf.
I think there is huge gap between tour players and regular pros , as you found out
Really enjoyed watching the round. Please try again. I'm not an expert, but it seemed to me that you were blasting the ball right from almost every tee, and then playing great recovery shots from the challenge of the rough.
Who does the sound appear like it's sped up and you sound like chipmunks?
I second this.
was looking for this comment, glad its not just me
Wish you could film all the clubhouse episodes!
Was the person that messaged you after the round Yellow Hat Guy? 🤣
Agreed, If you are serious about improving your game and getting to final qualifying, I think you should update break 75 to break 70 or at least 72. That alone would be the true challenge you need over the year to better prepare.
He needs to change the series to break 80 honestly
You realistically have to beat the goal consistently first before increasing the goal. That’s like me saying I am going out to beat 90 without ever hitting the range. 😂 Never going to get there.
He never breaks 75.
I don’t think I’ve EVER seen him break 75 haha
If he was serious he would chip instead of putting off the green at times. What was the point of that lesson with Danny!
For what it's worth, I would suggest to forget about the end score and create a course plan. Plan each shot for each hole that will allow you a birdie and try to execute every single one of those shots while minimizing risk. Don't just try to hit straight and play as you go. Plan each shot and make THAT shot. Get to green according to your birdie plan and you'll either sink the putt or 2 putt for par. If you miss a shot to the green hopefully it will be par or bogie. Make a plan, execute the plan and the score will come.
You hit more than 2 bad shots...but you recovered on the back 9.
Yes...went too far with that level of spin.
Really…Two bad shots…Good watch..👍
