What a round Rick. Crazy sick hole out on the last pal. Cheers

[@allieandbo]

Great round mate. Loved it! Ryan is class isn't he? I'm already subbed to him. If you want have a good laugh, scroll to the end of your comment section and enjoy me lambasting the muppets. It's my therapy actually. Lol.

[@Eat-MyGoal]

@@allieandbo As if he's gonna scroll through nearly a thousand comments because you asked him to. 😂😂You know you don't actually know him, right? You're just a customer of his business just like the rest of us. Why would he care about you 'lambasting' anyone when nobody else does? (apart from you and your therapist, clearly)

the putt on 11, the chip on 18. 34 on the back nine, what a great day!

Best episode so far. The cart number, the happy face ball, the finale.... My god what a video. Absolute gem

[@yus16g]

For me, the rickie fowler episode was a masterpiece. This is definitely 2nd though imo

[@jameschapman3465]

Don’t normally comment but wanted to say how much I loved watching this. Your positive attitude in the face of so many challenging shots and hard to recover drives is such a huge contrast to where you have been over the last 6 months, and it’s so refreshing to finally see. Also, fantastic to see Ryan on the channel again. It’s been great to follow him along Luke and Sean’s recent videos and was such a pleasant surprise to see him again here. Keep up the great work Rick! Can’t wait to see more of what new Rick can bring to KZbin golf.

[@blaisegolfs]

Rick isn’t out here playing regular courses dude is playing the hardest courses in the world from the tips as well shooting mid 70s. He’s a scratch golfer.

[@maxpfundner2226]

those greens looked horrendous, jesus christ :D

[@Noah-hd2je]

I don't think this course is as hard as it looks. Rick had a great back 9 but he was struggling hard on the front and was only +3.

[@gregoryrange1049]

[@twitchyfp359]

rick isn't scratch lol

[@mrtopramen]

Sorry bud, he’s not.

[@stefanhadley1381]

This has most certainly been the best video you have shot in a long time, watching you break 75 with a smile on your face and the ball has made my day. Ryan is also my favourite guest, The guy is a super positive and great to watch!

[@yunakayama2248]

2 minutes in and I'm locked in on two things: 1. Love seeing Ryan back on the channel! Excited to see what he'll shoot! 2. Rick - get your left hand off of that driver head and let us see the Darkspeed in all its glory :D Something about Rick Shiels with a Cobra in his hands feels right! Hoping this is an unlock for you! Thank you as always for the great content.

[@rufussthoo4083]

The new attitude, new fitness and reinvigorated Rick, is a joy to behold. And what an outcome - best we've seen in years. Great scrambling too. Ryan was a pleasure to watch, as always. He is a YT natural. And I think with your focus, Rick, being more on Ryan's score, you put less pressure on yourself to achieve your goal ... and so you did. This was the easiest, and most enjoyable 'Break 75' to watch (for me, at least) in a very long time. Well done both, and the RS team.

[@GusCanam]

Rick! You made me jumped on my sofa celebrating you broke 75!!! What a course, what a score, what a guest (Ryan is great) and the best of all, what a finish!!! Congrats!!

[@surindersingh724]

I watched Tiger Woods' chip on the 16th hole at The Masters in 2005 live. I swear I cheered louder for Rick's chip on the 18th in this video. Well played, dude.

[@JohnSmith-mx8wp]

Did you catch Rick's Tiger fist pump there? Best I've seen Rick play. Good stuff.

[@surindersingh724]

@Luke-uw6dp I did not see watched it in-person, did I? Not my fault you assumed wrong.

[@TheQuest4Peace]

The negative Nancy’s in the comments these days. Sheesh. The goal is to break 75. Regardless of where his game at… keeping in mind he’s a high level KZbin golfer who likely gets a round in maybe once a week with little practice while also playing the hardest venues in the world… let’s cut the king a break. He knows he’s capable of great golf. He wants to break 75. Let him put himself out there by doing so. Keep going after it Rick!

[@petermeades196]

Bare in mind he hit 1/2 good drives all round and still shot +1, we can only dream of that!

[@andrewgillie3598]

As a long time watcher and subscriber, I so enjoyed that. Well done mate, haters gonna hate but if Ryan only beats you by 2 over 7600, that's super golf.

[@ScottGreigg]

That bunker shot at the end with the sunset in the background is the most Incredible image I have ever seen on KZbin. That is absolutely brilliant.

Rick on hole 5: „I literally haven‘t eaten anything today.“ Ate a cookie on Hole 1 and a Hot Dog on 2 😂

[@themurrayadventures]

Incredible video. Great course, fantastic guest, the camera angles and 4k source really shine. The drone footage really gives an excellent overview of each hole. Ryan is a fantastic guest, and I appreciate Rick's updated positivism. I don't think it's a mistake he shot such a good score with an improved mind-set. He didn't get down on himself, and he had an amazing back nine. I watched the entire video, and was throughly entertained. Can only hope for more of the same. Kudos to all involved.

[@Conor2056]

Delighted to see a break 75 up. Thought we weren't getting anything on account of the TPC video saga!

[@stephenmccann3407]

What happened?

[@Conor2056]

@stephenmccann3407 they had done a break 75 at tpc sawgrass on acccpunt of thr players championship being there and were due to release it this week. But they lost the footage

[@Prawjjek]

I mean he did a break 75 there last year so you can always go rewatch that🤷‍♂️

[@Skeeta56]

Ryan is a gem of a fella. Great to see him knocking it about with you!!! Awesome place to spend an afternoon . . . Thanks for sharing it with an old fellow in North Carolina!!! (Future Suggestion: Iona is coming to the States for the Masters . . . come on over and get a Match together . . . Better yet, get Grant and Peter in the mix and I’ll have all of my favorites in one video!!!)

[@MRbjr8]

I second that request!

[@FSPTulsa]

Dream match!

[@robertrichard7002]

I live within sight of this course and excited to see this video as we locals were not even aware it was open for play. It has been a long time coming, having been anticipated and under construction for the past several years. It is fun watching the video as i will likely never be able to afford this exclusive course. If you are in the area, try "Citrus National" course about a mile to the west in Sugarmill Woods at a fraction of the cost. Oh, and i'm so sorry i didn't know Rick was in the neighborhood as i'm a big fan.

[@kevingowdy3651]

Thoroughly enjoyed this.. especially the finale! I think you did a great job considering if you normally hit the fairway 75% and only 25% of the course is actually grass, Hitting 3 fairways in 18 is actually OK! Great to watch and Ryan is a star. 👏👏

[@gerhardprasent3358]

Great round, great score, enjoyed it very much. Congrats !!!! This last shot deserves the Oscar ...

[@NiallDolan-ug9vs]

I’ve been travelling Thailand since the end of December as part of the mandatory post university celebration, during my down time I’ve developed an obsession with golf without playing a single hole just from watching endless amounts of your videos. It’s a blessing I’ve never touched or thought of playing golf until I stumbled upon your channel as I’ve been able to watch ridiculous amounts whilst being away to keep me entertained in the evening or whilst travelling from place to place. The amount excitement you have given me to get back to the UK and start playing golf is ridiculous! Thank you very much.

[@moose9689]

Bro Thailand is a golfers dream!! Get after it bud!

[@alexitocr1989]

damn you should play a round in Thailand, amazing courses there

[@andyfrizzell4352]

Congratulations on finishing university 🎉 Hope your golfing journey is an enjoyable one!

[@achyutpramod132]

Amazing break 75 episode! Enjoyed watching both Ryan and you playing great golf at the new course. Looking forward to being able to play there someday.

[@powell3120]

What an ending to an absolute blast of a course! This looks like a course you can shoot a wild 95 with your buddies, but hit some memorable shots and have a great time. Also love seeing Ryan on the channel again. I really hope we can watch you make it back to this course next summer when it has grown in a bit. Great stuff boys!

[@haroldbudman5699]

Rick, loved this video with Ryan! For you to shoot a 74 on such a long course and so many bunker shots - that's an awesome score!!

[@user-en1sd6vx8d]

By far Ryan is the best person you have had on your channel!! Would love to see a 10 shot challenge with him?

[@kennyabi3515]

Great video. 1 hour 41 minutes and not bored 1 second. Well done guys. Ryan is such a positive playing partner 👍

[@DJRaveDave]

from the first 10 seconds all the way through the feature length video... this was so amazing to watch. What a course! can't wait to see you return in a year or so. Great golf.

[@naturalhistoryx1992]

Said it on Grant’s video too, Cabot Cape Breton has some of the most breathtaking holes in North America.

[@timdarnell7819]

Your short game and putting are on point, massive turn around from a couple years ago.

[@charlesbarry7479]

Great round Rick. Love it when you have a playing partner on your videos. Cabot Citrus Farms used to be called World Wood Golf Club. It was a Fazio designed complex. Apparently they didn't keep up with the maintenance and this Canadian company bought and refurbished the courses. Golf Digest ran an article about it a couple of years ago. The article mentioned that Phil played David Toms in an episode of Shell's Wonderful World of Golf tv series.

[@jonathantamargo9414]

Ryan is a great and keeps Rick level headed, by far my favorite video, loved all of it, amazing golf and the positive mindset by Rick really made a difference in my opinion

Awesome Rick, I played Cabot Saint Lucia in Feb 2024 which is spectacular. And I am playing Cabot Cliffs and Links in July. Great video Rick! Nicely done on the content Rick.

[@bryansmith7490]

That was great golf by both on a new course. I love how much fun Rick had, but he showed focus and intensity when needed.

Ricky started all happy and the coment about he doesn't care what score he got and was just happy to play! set the tone and i perked me up to watch this and WOW ricky didn't disappoint!!!! loved every minute of it! ricks head never went down played some amazing shots! and to be honest his driving was rubbish! but he kept his chin up laugh about it! moved on and made this amazing video and the ending was awesome! what a video! interesting funny and a great watch! one of your best videos buddy!

[@danielknull6086]

Rick is like a brand new person with the positivity! I laughed out loud so many times here, love the lack of tension when he makes a mistake and he just makes light of it now! I watch lots of good good and gm and they’ve struggled to keep the tension lower recently now since they haven’t played as well. This is perfect timing for Rick’s channel. Keep it up 💪

What a great video, good to see Rick back playing some great golf even with fighting the driver. Flopping a bunker shot in on the last hole to break 75 was the best way to end this video after so many sand saves. Great video Rick, we all appreciate the effort you put in for our entertainment

[@rileyschnare5191]

Video definitely deserves a like, as well Rick you certainly don’t give yourself enough credit, your recovery is very good and your short game has improved tremendously. Well done and cheers

Great shooting Rick, terrific to see you nail this! Big shout out to Ryan, what a genuine, encouraging fella. Bonza!

[@markross4730]

For as much as you two were hitting out of sand and spraying drives around the final scores were excellent. Fantastic job both of you!

[@unspokenword5934]

Congratulations Ricky!!!!!!!! You putted really well, irons pretty good, great scramble golf, excellent clutch ability, some impressive chip shots. The only thing that it would be great for you to work on is….a fairway finder swing. Some people tee lower, some hit stingers, some hit low fades..if you can find a fairway finder when things are going bad you can shave 2/3 shots of your round or more…… Great job though you surprised me on many shots and that last bunker shot was phenomenal. 👍👍👍⛳️👍👍👍

[@joshayers8879]

Rick... seriously with that finish on 18... epic!!! Can't wait to see this course when it's all grown in... love listening to Ryans course descriptions, lots of knowledge.

[@ryanschultz4119]

It was such an easy fix for Rick with his driver! He wasn't allowing the club to get set at the top of his backswing. That said, Shielsie really grinded out a solid round. On a very difficult golf course! Well done, mate.👍

[@russellmills2044]

Great round Rick (at last)!! So much more fun to watch when you accept the bad shots and have a laugh at yourself. Ryan is a brilliant guest an absolute natural in front of the camera.
