Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This KZbin 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.

I keep forgetting that Ricky won the Gramd Slam twice. He knows his stuff!

[@nicksmith2773]

The best way I break 85 is by only playing 14 holes, 60% of the time it works everytime!

Lol. I break 70 every round at some point using that logic ☺️

That doesn’t make sense…

[@ZH-uz4cu]

Rick: "Don't attack silly pins" My brain whenever I see a horrible pin location: "what if I hole it from 180"

[@charlieodom9107]

LMFAO!!!! I used to think that too!!! Now...I layup to 80 yards out for a 55° into the green on just about every hole. Maybe one day I'll start attacking greens, but I don't have the spin to get anything to stop on a green from anything beyond 150 or so.

[@petermcgill1315]

Been there. An ace on our 5th hole, and finished with 28 points. Happy, but embarrassing. Embarrassing but also happy.

[@hoselrocket8636]

My brain, “Leroy Jenkins!”

[@emilcaruso3088]

I feel having all the different shots with the wedges is a big key. I watch fellow golfers that have mastered this, they consistently score lower.

[@Martin-nd9pg]

Too right my friend. People wish they could drive like me but I'd swap approach shots with wedges all day long

[@ralphgizzip4408]

You'll see this laid out in Dave Pelz' Short Game Bible, too.. He preaches 4 swings for 4 wedges.

[@karlg1535]

My problem is that 30-70 range I either over shoot or duff it for some reason anything in 25ish is a pin seeker. 13 chip ins this season ( Canada March-Nov ) probably played around 100 rounds!

[@markjennings3528]

Exactly. We all know the old saying, drive for show, putt for dough, but it's your wedges that allow you to putt for that dough...

[@oozieneinmillimeeda]

@@karlg1535 that’s the hardest yardage for almost every golfer. mastering backswing length is the only way to be consistent at those yardages

[@SuperMjJang]

You are a genius, genius teacher. Born to teach. I learned a lot. Thanks a lot!!

[@trottz16]

There's nothing more vital than course management over ego when you're trying to break almost any mark from 110 to sub 80, it's all about managing expectations and the realities of what you're bringing to the golf course! Another great vid! Team Clubhouse

[@jeffalbrecht4560]

Rick, i have been watching you for a couple years now and i appreciate your easy teaching manner. Lots of others tend to ramble and repeat themselves but not you. Many thanks good sir.

[@jauntbuhl]

Please bring back more of break 75!! Going out for an early tee time this Saturday and you better believe I’m breaking 90 for the first time 💪🏼🙌🏼

[@jaylisted9714]

Cheers and good luck!!! 🏌‍♂️⛳🤞🤞🤞

[@Olorin884]

@jauntbuhl how'd ya do??

[@jauntbuhl]

@@Olorin884 unfortunately I had to cancel because my puppy got sick 🤒 (he’s 100% now though!) BUT I rescheduled my tee time for tomorrow morning! I’ve been watching more content to try to keep the basics fresh and I’ve got the range a few times so I’m as ready as I will ever be

[@bobwood08]

@@jauntbuhl I'll follow up and ask.. how did you do? Been trying to break 90 myself, hoping you made it!

[@breakthrough8628]

To break 90 u first need a consistent swing w good consistency in grip , setup, body rotation , and you MUST manage the course. I play for bogey on many of the difficult holes and layup to 120 out or leas w an iron instead of going w a wood for the green. Works well

[@ASGSmoke]

Shot 84 yesterday, been watching you videos all summer and getting better thanks a ton👍👍 btw the course was more advanced and the first time I played 18 I got 112😂😅 so loads of help and a much lower score

[@tysonscott888]

I never thought to grip down and a full swing when between clubs, great tip!

[@RickShielsPGA]

Thanks mate - let me know how you get on

[@mackenziec]

Be sure to have practiced this choked down shot and be comfortable with it. You may find it either draws less or fades more because your lie angle is more flat/pointed down. Plus you'll get a feel for the distance difference

[@ToBeConcluded10]

As a relative begginer, these tip videos have been helping masively and helped grow my love of golf, thanks Rick! 👍

[@IronDrummer91]

Really agree with making sure the clubs have a purpose. Helps so much with decision making and go-to. Found that gap between woods and irons so difficult until I put a 7 wood in.

[@jaqueslouw5120]

Crazy how much your videos help. 👌 I can't live without them. Thanks mate.

[@michaelchicolabarbera5071]

Simple, solid & serene golf tips...thanks, mate!

thnx for the tips! The different shots with the wedges will be my focus this winter!

I’ve got to say that your videos are really a joy to watch, especially with your enthusiasm and positive reinforcement. This one will help my son and me shave off a few stokes. Thanks Rick for reviving my love of the game.😃

[@biagiocozza8875]

Love your videos Rick. Watching your videos help me to shoot lower and lower.

[@jasonwaller7321]

Great tip about the wedges and three swings, my favourite was the tip of gripping down when you are in-between irons, I can see that make a big noticeable difference to my game

[@charliebutcher3908]

Great video as always Rick! Keep up the good work!

[@nc_cyborg640]

The 3x swings for each wedge is probably the best tip I have heard in a while. Keep these videos coming.

[@roberttaylor2381]

Great vid Rick. All great tips, I will try them when I next play. The 8/9 tip I sort of do now, except I play the 9 iron off my back foot lower flight equates for me more pentrating flight gives a few extra yards. Everything else especially the putting driil is a game changer for me, my putting is my weakest link.

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent video Rick! I adhere to most of the five principals, but an 85 score is still aloof. As a Don Quixote advocate, I will continue with my quest. Keep up the good work. Your videos are thoroughly enjoyable and informative!

[@John64125]

Really good and practical advice. It’s really all about knowing your bag and distances, the wedge thoughts are great. The putting tip is also good but I always tell people to make sure they commit to a follow through. Stops those horrible jabs that always go right. Swing past the ball and it’ll stay on line.

[@loganwentz7795]

I will try this stuff out, I have been playing for about 7 months and this will help me so much, thank you Rick. Wish me luck!!

The “silly pins” tip is true at any level. When I’m playing poorly, I play to the safe part of the green. When I’m playing well, I start the ball at the safe part and work it toward the pin. Great tips Rick!

[@johnherman3261]

Ah Rick; course management and club management seems to be the key to these five tips. I truly enjoy your videos you are the best on you tube. Stay safe my friend.

These are the best sort of videos everyone can relate to then and take away something to improve their game. Top tips 😁😁

[@chrismortimer6608]

Right. I play low to mid 90's and sometimes very rarely, break 90. I watched this video last night and today I shot 82, my best round ever by 6 shots! I practiced nearly all the tips explained here and made massive difference.

All excellent tips! I would expect to break 80 every round but haven't lately and sharpening up on several of these would significantly help my chances - especially the wedges and the putting tip! Thanks so much and keep them coming! Often we lose a lot of shots just being sloppy and careless in some of these critical areas!

[@vicstart]

Hi Rick, I have been working on my wedge distances so really enjoyed this video explaining what swing distance I should concentrate on. Can I ask whether there is worth in having different swing lengths for mid to long irons and if yes - what swing length should I use?
