yet again Rick visits my neck of the woods and doesn't let me know. after watching the video i must add, you've more jam than Hartleys Rick. that 18th has to be the luckiest shot i have ever seen.
Let’s just all agree that Rick has taken his videos and content to another level. Despite the popularity, still so humble and a joy to watch. Thank you Rick!.. And kudos to whoever made the break 75 in the sand
Be cool to know if the Break 75 in the sand was actually there... I think it was just added in Post production using CGI haha Otherwise, kudos to whoever spent that time making that. Probably quicker to do in video effects haha
@@ryansantiago941 Finch. If he was made of chocolate he would eat himself. Fryer and Rick have their channels dialled. Finch's is just self indulgent crap.
Probably the best break75 you've made. Great course fly-overs, view of the undulating greens, describing the conditions & how you're approaching each shot. Really engaging. Thanks for taking us on the journey with you.
"I love golf, but I hate golf at the same time." That sums up the game perfectly. One of the best golf vids I've seen. Some of those drone shots gave me goose bumps. I love how you are playing as just a regular patron, with other people on the course, and average weather, and you show all your less than perfect shots. That crazy drive on 18 was icing on the cake! And can I really bring my dog with me when I play St. Andrews?
Loved the way Rick talks to us, so honestly. Loved seeing him play well and smash 75. Loved seeing more of Guy and Guy’s golf too - boy can that lad put! 😉👍🏻
This brought a smile to my face having recently returned from St. Andrews, staying at the Old Course Hotel (room overlooked the 17th fairway), walking through the town, and playing golf! I miss it already.
i never thought i would be so happy for someone ive never met, but that crazy bounce eagle truly made me warm inside. how can you not love golf when things like this happens. eagle on the last on the most iconic hole in golf, with loads of of people watching to cap of the best round of a poor season so far. now it all turns in your favor. goosebumps!
I could not agree more!!! Absolutely smiling from ear to ear watching that gentleman inform Rick about how his ball ended up so close to the hole for eagle!!! So awesome!!!! Way to hang in Rick and hole the putt for eagle!!! Class!!
@@simond9678 I bought some new clubs once & on the very first outing, I chipped in from 80 yards plus for birdies with the pw, twice on the front 9. Sometimes I feel like, we give so much to golf & occasionally, golf gives so much back you. Those were magic moments I'll never forget.
"That was a mighty drive, man," says the Man Who's Seen Them All. "The longest drive I'll see all day." Rick, you've impressed the unimpressible. What a game. What a course.
yeah they're the first guys playing on the course though lol they started at 6am, so it's maybe the second or third drive he's seen all day up to that point lol. But nevertheless, the luck was unreal
Played with my dad and a couple of his mates today. 1st tee shot, 2 out of bounds. 2 pars all day and ended up picking up on 4 holes and losing about 6 balls. I was about to hit the whisky before switching the video on. 40 minutes later and that eagle on the last has got me booking up to go again tomorrow. Great stuff as always guys.
Rick, I doubt you'll see this but as someone who once played a lot and completely lost interest in the game, in some way your videos have rekindled my desire to get back out and play again. You're a great ambassador for the game, and you can tell that you're a genuinely kind person when the cameras are off. Congratulations on the eagle and many successes down the road. Perhaps one day you'll even play in an Open... If you do you'll definitely have this Yank rooting for you.... Blessings to you and your crew.
Same here, been out for like 15-16 years and found my way back throu his vids and even gotten so much better thanks to all his swingvideos and so on, so thank you
I keep trying to get into it...I like the idea of being out in the middle of nowhere....but can I heckers like hit a golf ball it's so hard to even make contact lol
a 44 minute video and I was hooked from minute 1 . wow what a stunning dedication to the old course with our favourite UA-camr taking us for a round . thoroughly enjoyed this , thank you
I found myself audibly cheering for both Rick and Guy on every shot, more than when I watch a PGA event! Just the humble style and the reverence from them playing the Old Course… gotta love it. Well done!
I love the relaxed nature of this episode , the golf looked after its self. How could you not be inspired with the 150th grandstands in full view. Someone definitely threw that ball on the green on 18 .....lol
Someone had to have thrown that, or it was the wildest series of bounces ever. Off the hotel, then off the open shop, and then to the green. Either way, it counts.
The one thing that makes me think maybe it wasn't thrown on the green - two separate people a long way apart from each other tell Rick the same story. There were a lot of people watching as well, feel like someone might have volunteered the real story.
Great episode and loved the dog being taken around. I played at the New Zealand Club a few years ago and loads of members had their dogs with them. The on course water fountains even had built in water bowls and low level taps for the members dogs.
I used to walk my club in the spring with my boy Jack. His last round, at the age of 14 1/2. I had to carry him the last three holes. Miss you Capt Jack!
Been looking forward to this one. Kept asking myself "where is he gonna make the eagle, where is he gonna make the eagle?" Amazing round with an epic finish, loved every minute of it! It's also nice to see some of Guy's shots when he plays with you. What a series!
Really enjoyed this and really enjoy Guy being more involved! such a great round! i think everyone can relate that one or two holes that keeps your round from being so great. Keep it up!
Got to be one of my favourite videos so far! Really enjoying the break75 series. Slightly humbling as an average golfer struggling at the minute to see you also have some less desirable rounds. But equally reassuring to see you start to play well! By the way the result on 18 was perplexing, yet phenomenal!
Very cool. I was fortunate enough to play The Old Course in 2006. I shot 92, which for me was a rewarding score. My best memory from that day comes on the 18th hole as well. I hit a nice drive just short of the crosswalk, then hit a 9-iron to 4 feet. The folks gathered behind the stone bridge applauded me as I walked up to the green. I felt like a rock star. Then, when I missed the birdie putt and the crowd moaned, I felt like a roadie. :) The town, the people, and the course are indeed very special.
Haha yes, I did too. What luck that was... and for it to bounce off the hotel and land about 6 feet away. Incredible luck on a pretty terrible shot, ended up being the best shot of the day lmao 🤣
@@Will-H1222 Yea I'm not really convinced at all that it wasn't just placed there. This would be super easy to stage and get a few people to go along with.
@@derpderpin1568 people sometimes throw your ball back in play, when I went I threw a guys back onto the edge of the fairway from out of bounds. He probably had no idea how it was on the fairway
My friend trained his dog to find golf balls. Surprisingly, "finding" was an easy part, it took more time to teach him NOT to fetch... Now this beast just stands over the ball and waits for the owner. BTW, I wonder if he is breaking some rules using such a caddy (as caddies are alowed to help searching for balls).
Love the series, that eagle was insane. I know it's about you trying to break 75, but it was nice to see more shots and hear the score of your partner more often in this one. I'm always interested in how they're doing too, whoever it may be. Would just say, I think the overlay didn't look that great. The hole info didn't properly look like it was of the same scheme as the player-shot info, which also looked too 'blocky'. Might try design and post one on twitter based on your logo colour scheme. But anyway, great vid.
@RickShiels best content creator on UA-cam at the moment. Honestly the quality of your videos is amazing, and you’re such an awesome person to watch. Kept teasing us with all those birdie opportunities on the first 9 and made us all love golf for what it is the second 9. Amazing, lucky eagle on the 18th at St. Andrews. You will remember that forever. And having it on video is even better.
Love having Guy involved this season. Dude can play!! Amazing to see the course with the grandstands, can only imagine playing it. Keep up the content boys!
This was an outstanding video. I look forward to each of these as it's a proper challenge, that could go either way. And it's fun, relaxed and super quality. Thanks Rick, Guy and co.
Really enjoyed this video. I've never been there so it was great seeing the course up close to get a feel for what the pros will be up against in a couple weeks. And Rick with the "bounce" of a lifetime on 18!
This quality in this video was unreal, drone footage before and during the hole was class the editing and the shot position markers etc are fantastic loved that
This is literally the greatest, most entertaining golf series on UA-cam! Great video Rick! I found your channel at the start of the pandemic when I was working from home and had UA-cam on in the background. Keep up the great videos!
Easily THE BEST Break 75 video ever! The best venue (Old course with the stands), along with the most epic ending -- an eagle for even par at the historic 18th green and it being the first eagle for Rick in the series. What an episode!
Rick, I am glad you finally decided to let us know your Partner's score. I always thought that was the missing part of these episodes. I think having it on the left top corner and yours on the right top would be splendid. Yes, they arent the main character in the episodes, but they are part of it and playing the beautiful game alongside. The game is always a competition whether for fun or money. As a viewer I would love to also see your partner's 18 holes journey, not necessarily the shots (you show the right amount) but the score.
There's a reason for the quote "I'd rather be lucky than good" haha. Sometimes luck gives you opportunities that talent could never. Been loving the Break 75 series.
Great round of golf from both of you, I was shouting at the computer watching Guy with the two out of bounds, and well as for the last what a result and a lucky but great eagle well done, let's see how many of the open player adopt your 18th tee shot, I enjoy watching all your video's but this was special.
"I love golf and I hate golf at the same time." Guy, we've all been there, and we keep coming back. Rick, amazing round, the confidence is back and I hope you continue that way.
Production quality is seriously impressive, great videos, with the UA-cam ads before the main video almost felt like I was at a film premiere 🍿 Congrats on the 🦅
How is the shot on the 18th not on SportsCenter top 10?!?! That's one of the craziest bounces you'll ever see in a Golf round. So happy Rick got that on camera
I'm new to golf and only have a few games under my belt, but Rick Shiels has become my favorite golfer to watch! I always look forward to these videos and every time I watch them, it always makes me want to go play a round and improve my game! Thank you for such amazing videos and for giving me the motivation to keep playing this amazing game!
That's an excellent intro to show people who possibly could never make it how it feels to walk round the corner and see one of the best holes in golf. 👏
Absolutely excellent production and finishes with a hole that simply amazes all. Guy was also excellent entertainment and i think all golfers know and empathise with those 2 holes. But came back brilliantly. Rick as always talks us through, mainly with a smile on his face, and comes out even on The Old Course. Well done in every way.
Well done! That eagle on the 18th is what to love about golf isn't it? You never know where the ball will end up, sometimes a perfect tee shot trickles into the smallest of bunkers and sometimes just sometimes it bounces of the hotel sign and end up a couple feet from the hole. I also wanna say that i really like Guy, what a humble person! I would love to see you play more with him in the future! Keep up the good work
Takes me right back to August 15, 2019 when I played the Old Course with my son in the foursome in front of mine. We slept in the parking lot overnight and were 13th and 14th in line. We got on in following foursomes. Rick you seemed more relaxed today and much less hard on yourself on the course. A joy to watch!
We’re lucky Rick hasn’t been picked up by a streaming subscription service yet. Love these videos! Cheers Guy, Rick, and production team! 🍻 keep it coming!!
What a round. It's clear to see and hear how each shot matters. You represent the emotions of a lot of golfers and yet help us to stay realistic to what can happen to even the better players. Cheers Rick
What does Rick do for a living? Plays golf and records it for the world to see. Got to love the free market. Keep living the dream Rick. All jokes aside, this UA-cam channel has taken me from a bellow average golfer to someone that can get around the course without crying. Good work, Rick.
My beer went in the air when you made that eagle! Best moment of the series so far, and you deserved that bit of luck. Well done, I'm glad to see your game is getting better and you are having a bit of fun now. Thanks for being a great golfing personality Rick, now if you will excuse me I am going to watch this video again :)
As in every episode Rick, enjoy your humility and general down to earth attitude! Enjoy your videos thoroughly. Was there any damage to the building? Always worry about property damage, especially with my swings… Keep up the good work!
Been watching and subbed since around 40k subs, and to see the channel grow and the videos get even better, but yet Rick still stays such a class guy, so good to see, keep it up! ⛳️⛳️
Hi Rick love watching the shows! Would love to see guys scores as you go round also. I know it's the rick shiels YT but from a viewers perspective it's intrsisting to follow the score of another person rather than just you. Hope this doesn't come across as rude. Love the vids either way😊
Best I’ve ever seen Guy play, he was lights out. I’m just an average golfer these days and never been a scratch guy…but I’ve had those rounds where it all seems to come together for you but a few bad holes make you want to snap your clubs. 😂 And that has to be one of the wildest eagles I’ve ever seen. Great video, I smiled the whole time. Glad you guys are enjoying life.
I have to say, as a fan of the channel (and the other one), and the podcast and the Break 75 series - It's an absolute pleasure seeing you play good golf and smiling as you wander round the course. After quite a lean trot recently, I'm super pleased for you :-)
There is no way that ball naturally bounced and rolled to there on 18. I mean, there is a slight chance....and it may have happened. But my guess is that someone grabbed it and tossed it on to the green. Surprised Rick didn't as to see if someone helped him out
Hey mate. Just started playing golf 3 months ago due to popping my third ACL in rugby league. Loving golf loads and love getting home watching the channel mate. Keep it up.
Strangely I've been binge watching your videos despite giving up the game that I loved several years ago. Love the editing and everything about it actually. The Eagle was hilarious. And that my friends is golf!!! Sometimes the golf gods giveth...other times not so much.
Love watching these videos, Im a high handicapper and for the 1st time ever, I broke 100 two weeks in a row, I felt the same on my 18th as Rick did on the 18th at St Andrews. Keep up the good work Rick!!!
Well done Callum and keep up the good work yourself, it's little milestones that you set yourself that will improve your game.. My local driving range (MGA, Melbourne Golf Academy) has a big sign as you walk in saying "Are you practicing your mistakes?".... I came to the realisation I was (always played against a Slice).. So watched a few videos, Rick helped immensely and started to notice a vast improvement... Now, I hit a slight Draw (and can Fade a little)... But have dropped from 100+ to low 80s.. Now I realise Golf is 90% mental and 10% mental....
The production work on this one is amazing, guys. The drone footage is especially great: really cool to see where your shots land and also the aerial of where you are in relation to the green. Great stuff.
Thanks for sharing this amazing experience, Rick. Even the early stroll to the course, past the Dunvegan (an experience on it’s own!), down the street to The Old Course, was amazing! Brings back amazing memories of The 150th! To play first off on a morning like you had (lucky buggar getting the weather you ordered delivered!), taking in The Course in all it’s glory, that is definitely on My Bucket List!
Best brake 75 so far. Good to see guy involved after listening to him on many podcasts. Thanks for the tour of St Andrews. Love the last few holes with all the drama especially the 18th. Great to see the weather in providing there wet and cold here in Australia.
This was awesome, the quality of the video, the course, the humble nature by Rick and guy. Also Rick deserved a lucky bounce on 18 after the last couple of break 75 attempts.
I have watched literally hundreds of videos on and about golf. Many of them RS videos. This is my all time favorite video. Not because RS broke 75 but because it shows what a great game golf truly is and how its so exhilarating one day and such a bit^% the next. The beauty of The Old Course really shines in this video and just confirms the fact I am playing this bucket list course. Thanks Rick and team for a great video.
I just came back from my first ever trip to Scotland a few days ago. Was lucky enough to stop in St. Andrews near the end of the trip. Such a surreal experience walking through town and around the course, especially with the setup for the Open. Something I won't ever forget. Unfortunately, the only put I hit there was on the rooftop bar of 18 overlooking the course with a drink in my hand. Great job on the round, Rick! Im just afraid you might have used up your luck for the year with that bounce on 18. But what a fantastic time to get some luck.
I don't comment on videos but I just have to say that was an amazing episode all around. The editing, the demeanor, the play. Just all around a great episode. Probably one of my favorites so far.
Great video... definitely frame that ball! Had the pleasure of briefly meeting Rick on Friday at Worsley Park just before a corporate day as he was prepping, love to channel, keep it up guys!
Virtually every week of the year, we can watch the best players in the world play their very best golf. But we never get to see anyone having as much fun on a golf course as Rick does. Well done, mate, as always.
Always special visiting St Andrews, never had the opportunity to play but just standing watching golfers tee off at 1st & putt out on 18 puts a shiver down my spine . Great finishing drive Rick deserved the bounce☺ great steady golf Guy even with late blips.
Master Shiels, WELL DONE ! Future show material. 1. Improve your putting starting line by using the 2:1 method. If you have a 4 meter putt, stand 8 meters behind the ball so you can see the starting line, breaks & dull spots. Use the plumb bob method if you need to. During this process wave your right feel hand to program the distance while looking at the hole. 2. How to keep your tempo during pressure. On your 8i 17th approach & both 18th drives, you were quick at the top & didn't finish your backswing. On your previous shows, I aways admire your completeness & tempo. The question is, how do you complete all 72 strokes perfectly when anticipation just increased ?
Great break 75. I'm going to watch this like 15 more times to get ready for the greatest tournament in golf. What amazes me is Rick's pace on his putting... unreal!
It's nice to go with you to these good courses and see much more than on network TV. Stay confident, your game looks good. Thanks for a beautiful video!
Glad to see you breaking out of the slump a bit and hitting better scores! Been rooting for you so hard man! Cheers on the eagle at 18! DONT LOSE THAT BALL!
All that carrying on and you get the rub of the green of a lifetime ---with half a grandstand of witnesses. I'll be hearing no more bleating about bad bounces and such. One of your best vlogs. I love it!!!
Love Guys excitement on the birdie on #3!! This is my dream trip so I really appreciate the content!! Whether I ever get to play it or not, just to walk the town would be such a dream!!! I do love that Guy is getting some screen time!! Class act fellas
I got into golf around the time of the 150th open, this video is one of my favourites online, think I've watched it at least 20 times. One day hope to get a round at the old course, hopefully in the near future. Rick's videos are what got me into golf, now down to an 8 handicap!
What a round, this was some great golf to watch! It’s amazing how a score can go up a little and then back down at the end to finish level. Happy to see Rick make an Eagle, very interesting how it came back onto the green! Great video!
Rick I just love you. Your quality and content is top notch. You are the 1st and only UA-camr I have subscribed to. May be the only. Been out of golf for 5 years but past 2 months I have played quite often. You bring smiles and love for the game with honesty and integrity. Much love for across the pond. Please continue kind sir. Wish I could play a "round with Rick". When is that giveaway coming?????🤔
Great round Rick! The play off the side of The Open shop... well thought out! The golf gods toying with you at the very end... no pictures on a scorecard, but evidence on the golf ball!
Great to see you playing the Old Course Rick and Guy for hitting some great shots. You couldn’t asked for better weather and an outrageous stroke of luck on the 18th 😃⛳️ Biggest positive was seeing your short irons were back online again. Pleasure to watch and looking forward to next weeks break 75.
What did you enjoy most about this episode?
Thanks so much for the amazing comments about this years Break75 🙌

The hole info didn't properly look like it was of the same scheme as the player-shot info, which also looked too 'blocky'. Might try design and post one on twitter based on your logo colour scheme. But anyway, great vid.
This one is a rush job, it’s open themed, he usually has the normal red one
@RickShiels best content creator on UA-cam at the moment. Honestly the quality of your videos is amazing, and you’re such an awesome person to watch.
Kept teasing us with all those birdie opportunities on the first 9 and made us all love golf for what it is the second 9.
Amazing, lucky eagle on the 18th at St. Andrews. You will remember that forever. And having it on video is even better.
This could be my favorite episode of "Break 75" to date! What an incredible EAGLE! Nicely done! Can't wait for the next episode!
Love having Guy involved this season. Dude can play!! Amazing to see the course with the grandstands, can only imagine playing it. Keep up the content boys!
Couldn't disagree more, dude is a distraction and massively unentertaining
@@davexilly no need for that
@@harrypressdee9868 except that Dave is right.
in 2019, i got to walk the course on a sunday and chat with a guy who was plotting the 16th green for a tournament the following week.
Some intro that 👏
My other favorite golf channel! We need another Shiels/Finch showdown😄
Good to see the two best golf UA-cam creators complimenting each other ..class from a class guy Pete 👍
Need a Pete vs Rick match on the old course!!
This was an outstanding video. I look forward to each of these as it's a proper challenge, that could go either way. And it's fun, relaxed and super quality. Thanks Rick, Guy and co.
Really enjoyed this video. I've never been there so it was great seeing the course up close to get a feel for what the pros will be up against in a couple weeks. And Rick with the "bounce" of a lifetime on 18!
This quality in this video was unreal, drone footage before and during the hole was class the editing and the shot position markers etc are fantastic loved that
This is literally the greatest, most entertaining golf series on UA-cam! Great video Rick! I found your channel at the start of the pandemic when I was working from home and had UA-cam on in the background. Keep up the great videos!
If Rick had Guy's putting, he'd have been at least -5! Great video, can't wait for the 150th open!
We need to see Rick and Guy play a scramble to see how low they can go
Easily THE BEST Break 75 video ever! The best venue (Old course with the stands), along with the most epic ending -- an eagle for even par at the historic 18th green and it being the first eagle for Rick in the series. What an episode!
Rick, I am glad you finally decided to let us know your Partner's score. I always thought that was the missing part of these episodes. I think having it on the left top corner and yours on the right top would be splendid. Yes, they arent the main character in the episodes, but they are part of it and playing the beautiful game alongside. The game is always a competition whether for fun or money. As a viewer I would love to also see your partner's 18 holes journey, not necessarily the shots (you show the right amount) but the score.
There's a reason for the quote "I'd rather be lucky than good" haha. Sometimes luck gives you opportunities that talent could never. Been loving the Break 75 series.
Great round of golf from both of you, I was shouting at the computer watching Guy with the two out of bounds, and well as for the last what a result and a lucky but great eagle well done, let's see how many of the open player adopt your 18th tee shot, I enjoy watching all your video's but this was special.
"I love golf and I hate golf at the same time." Guy, we've all been there, and we keep coming back. Rick, amazing round, the confidence is back and I hope you continue that way.
That quote perfectly sums up this game
Production quality is seriously impressive, great videos, with the UA-cam ads before the main video almost felt like I was at a film premiere 🍿
Congrats on the 🦅
How is the shot on the 18th not on SportsCenter top 10?!?! That's one of the craziest bounces you'll ever see in a Golf round. So happy Rick got that on camera
Probably because you don't actually see what happens
Didn’t get it on camera though did they?
I'm new to golf and only have a few games under my belt, but Rick Shiels has become my favorite golfer to watch! I always look forward to these videos and every time I watch them, it always makes me want to go play a round and improve my game! Thank you for such amazing videos and for giving me the motivation to keep playing this amazing game!
That's an excellent intro to show people who possibly could never make it how it feels to walk round the corner and see one of the best holes in golf. 👏
He’s back on the old course!!! The grandstands look insane btw!!!!
That last hole was incredible! I love seeing the both of you play, excellent video, my favorite series and this might be my favorite episode of yours.
Absolutely excellent production and finishes with a hole that simply amazes all. Guy was also excellent entertainment and i think all golfers know and empathise with those 2 holes. But came back brilliantly. Rick as always talks us through, mainly with a smile on his face, and comes out even on The Old Course. Well done in every way.
Well done! That eagle on the 18th is what to love about golf isn't it? You never know where the ball will end up, sometimes a perfect tee shot trickles into the smallest of bunkers and sometimes just sometimes it bounces of the hotel sign and end up a couple feet from the hole. I also wanna say that i really like Guy, what a humble person! I would love to see you play more with him in the future! Keep up the good work
This may be one of my favorite videos you have done in a long time. Congrats on the amazing eagle.
Takes me right back to August 15, 2019 when I played the Old Course with my son in the foursome in front of mine. We slept in the parking lot overnight and were 13th and 14th in line. We got on in following foursomes. Rick you seemed more relaxed today and much less hard on yourself on the course. A joy to watch!
We’re lucky Rick hasn’t been picked up by a streaming subscription service yet. Love these videos! Cheers Guy, Rick, and production team! 🍻 keep it coming!!
What a round. It's clear to see and hear how each shot matters. You represent the emotions of a lot of golfers and yet help us to stay realistic to what can happen to even the better players. Cheers Rick
What does Rick do for a living?
Plays golf and records it for the world to see. Got to love the free market. Keep living the dream Rick. All jokes aside, this UA-cam channel has taken me from a bellow average golfer to someone that can get around the course without crying. Good work, Rick.
Thanks again Rick. Love your videos. That putter has been rough on you this year. My favorite golf channel
My beer went in the air when you made that eagle! Best moment of the series so far, and you deserved that bit of luck.
Well done, I'm glad to see your game is getting better and you are having a bit of fun now.
Thanks for being a great golfing personality Rick, now if you will excuse me I am going to watch this video again :)
As in every episode Rick, enjoy your humility and general down to earth attitude! Enjoy your videos thoroughly. Was there any damage to the building? Always worry about property damage, especially with my swings…
Keep up the good work!
Golf has always been in my life off and on, but you helped reinvigorate my love for it with videos like this. Thank you Rick!
Been watching and subbed since around 40k subs, and to see the channel grow and the videos get even better, but yet Rick still stays such a class guy, so good to see, keep it up! ⛳️⛳️
Marvelous round Rick 👏👏👏👏
Hi Rick love watching the shows! Would love to see guys scores as you go round also. I know it's the rick shiels YT but from a viewers perspective it's intrsisting to follow the score of another person rather than just you. Hope this doesn't come across as rude. Love the vids either way😊
Best I’ve ever seen Guy play, he was lights out. I’m just an average golfer these days and never been a scratch guy…but I’ve had those rounds where it all seems to come together for you but a few bad holes make you want to snap your clubs. 😂
And that has to be one of the wildest eagles I’ve ever seen. Great video, I smiled the whole time. Glad you guys are enjoying life.
I have to say, as a fan of the channel (and the other one), and the podcast and the Break 75 series - It's an absolute pleasure seeing you play good golf and smiling as you wander round the course. After quite a lean trot recently, I'm super pleased for you :-)
There is no way that ball naturally bounced and rolled to there on 18. I mean, there is a slight chance....and it may have happened. But my guess is that someone grabbed it and tossed it on to the green. Surprised Rick didn't as to see if someone helped him out
Hey mate. Just started playing golf 3 months ago due to popping my third ACL in rugby league. Loving golf loads and love getting home watching the channel mate. Keep it up.
Strangely I've been binge watching your videos despite giving up the game that I loved several years ago. Love the editing and everything about it actually. The Eagle was hilarious. And that my friends is golf!!! Sometimes the golf gods giveth...other times not so much.
Best video of the Series! First Guy lag putting was awesome on front nine. Great golf and what a crazy finish!!!! Great job guys!!!!
Love watching these videos, Im a high handicapper and for the 1st time ever, I broke 100 two weeks in a row, I felt the same on my 18th as Rick did on the 18th at St Andrews. Keep up the good work Rick!!!
Well done Callum and keep up the good work yourself, it's little milestones that you set yourself that will improve your game.. My local driving range (MGA, Melbourne Golf Academy) has a big sign as you walk in saying "Are you practicing your mistakes?".... I came to the realisation I was (always played against a Slice).. So watched a few videos, Rick helped immensely and started to notice a vast improvement... Now, I hit a slight Draw (and can Fade a little)... But have dropped from 100+ to low 80s.. Now I realise Golf is 90% mental and 10% mental....
The production work on this one is amazing, guys. The drone footage is especially great: really cool to see where your shots land and also the aerial of where you are in relation to the green. Great stuff.
Rick you are so humble and mostly so relatable to us, even with the fame. Content has gone to the next level. I love it.
Thanks for sharing this amazing experience, Rick. Even the early stroll to the course, past the Dunvegan (an experience on it’s own!), down the street to The Old Course, was amazing! Brings back amazing memories of The 150th! To play first off on a morning like you had (lucky buggar getting the weather you ordered delivered!), taking in The Course in all it’s glory, that is definitely on My Bucket List!
Best brake 75 so far. Good to see guy involved after listening to him on many podcasts. Thanks for the tour of St Andrews. Love the last few holes with all the drama especially the 18th. Great to see the weather in providing there wet and cold here in Australia.
This was awesome, the quality of the video, the course, the humble nature by Rick and guy. Also Rick deserved a lucky bounce on 18 after the last couple of break 75 attempts.
I have watched literally hundreds of videos on and about golf. Many of them RS videos. This is my all time favorite video. Not because RS broke 75 but because it shows what a great game golf truly is and how its so exhilarating one day and such a bit^% the next. The beauty of The Old Course really shines in this video and just confirms the fact I am playing this bucket list course. Thanks Rick and team for a great video.
I just came back from my first ever trip to Scotland a few days ago. Was lucky enough to stop in St. Andrews near the end of the trip. Such a surreal experience walking through town and around the course, especially with the setup for the Open. Something I won't ever forget. Unfortunately, the only put I hit there was on the rooftop bar of 18 overlooking the course with a drink in my hand.
Great job on the round, Rick! Im just afraid you might have used up your luck for the year with that bounce on 18. But what a fantastic time to get some luck.
OMG Rick Shiels! Nice round but the genious to hit your drive at the hotel was the best! LOL! Nice Eagle!!!
I don't comment on videos but I just have to say that was an amazing episode all around. The editing, the demeanor, the play. Just all around a great episode. Probably one of my favorites so far.
Underated golf player. I don't think any amount of subs will make Rick change he seems genuine and real. Luv watching the videos.
I really enjoy watching the Break 75 videos. Brutally honest to show also the chunks (is it the correct word?) Locking forward for next season.
Great video... definitely frame that ball! Had the pleasure of briefly meeting Rick on Friday at Worsley Park just before a corporate day as he was prepping, love to channel, keep it up guys!
Awesome, happy for Rick on the 18th :-)
Virtually every week of the year, we can watch the best players in the world play their very best golf. But we never get to see anyone having as much fun on a golf course as Rick does. Well done, mate, as always.
Always special visiting St Andrews, never had the opportunity to play but just standing watching golfers tee off at 1st & putt out on 18 puts a shiver down my spine . Great finishing drive Rick deserved the bounce☺ great steady golf Guy even with late blips.
Thanks Rick, every time I hear that "Return of the Mack" muzak it reminds me to go back and listen to the original.
Great video, brilliant surprise at the end, I was glued to the screen over that last putt in front of the crowd, well done guys
Master Shiels,
WELL DONE ! Future show material.
1. Improve your putting starting line by using the 2:1 method. If you have a 4 meter putt, stand 8 meters behind the ball so you can see the starting line, breaks & dull spots. Use the plumb bob method if you need to. During this process wave your right feel hand to program the distance while looking at the hole.
2. How to keep your tempo during pressure. On your 8i 17th approach & both 18th drives, you were quick at the top & didn't finish your backswing. On your previous shows, I aways admire your completeness & tempo. The question is, how do you complete all 72 strokes perfectly when anticipation just increased ?
Great break 75. I'm going to watch this like 15 more times to get ready for the greatest tournament in golf. What amazes me is Rick's pace on his putting... unreal!
It's nice to go with you to these good courses and see much more than on network TV. Stay confident, your game looks good. Thanks for a beautiful video!
Glad to see you breaking out of the slump a bit and hitting better scores! Been rooting for you so hard man! Cheers on the eagle at 18! DONT LOSE THAT BALL!
Absolutely love it… way to go Rick. The golf gods were smiling today, along with the rest of us👍🏻
Brilliant work Ricky Boy!!! You're blessed.... never forget that and we are lucky to go for the ride.
All that carrying on and you get the rub of the green of a lifetime ---with half a grandstand of witnesses. I'll be hearing no more bleating about bad bounces and such. One of your best vlogs.
I love it!!!
Well deserved Rick you played absolutely marvelous throughout the whole round, so that bounce at the end was well deserved. Congrats
Love Guys excitement on the birdie on #3!! This is my dream trip so I really appreciate the content!! Whether I ever get to play it or not, just to walk the town would be such a dream!!! I do love that Guy is getting some screen time!! Class act fellas
I got into golf around the time of the 150th open, this video is one of my favourites online, think I've watched it at least 20 times.
One day hope to get a round at the old course, hopefully in the near future.
Rick's videos are what got me into golf, now down to an 8 handicap!
What a round, this was some great golf to watch! It’s amazing how a score can go up a little and then back down at the end to finish level. Happy to see Rick make an Eagle, very interesting how it came back onto the green! Great video!
Rick I just love you. Your quality and content is top notch. You are the 1st and only UA-camr I have subscribed to. May be the only. Been out of golf for 5 years but past 2 months I have played quite often. You bring smiles and love for the game with honesty and integrity. Much love for across the pond. Please continue kind sir. Wish I could play a "round with Rick". When is that giveaway coming?????🤔
Shout out to that chill sweetie-pie doggy just going for a round a golf with its best mate!
Loved this video, the drive on 18 sums up the unpredictability of golf. Love it.
Great round Rick! The play off the side of The Open shop... well thought out! The golf gods toying with you at the very end... no pictures on a scorecard, but evidence on the golf ball!
Great to see you playing the Old Course Rick and Guy for hitting some great shots.
You couldn’t asked for better weather and an outrageous stroke of luck on the 18th 😃⛳️
Biggest positive was seeing your short irons were back online again.
Pleasure to watch and looking forward to next weeks break 75.
Huge thanks for that little time lapse walk through the town. Maybe closer than some of us will ever get!
Yep, I liked and appreciated that too
Love the guy casually playing the old course with his dog attached to his bag. Class! Some drive on the last
The best golf blog I have seen….outstanding Rick 👊🏻
