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.

THANK YOU for putting Guy's score on the screen. I know you did last time because it was a match, but every time someone plays with Rick I'd love to see their score too, even if we only see a handful of their shots. Love the series, my favorite thing about Fridays!

[@matthewlatham7471]

Totally agree it gives context I feel to how well Rick has played especially when he is playing with Guy as he is a great amateur golfer as it could be really hard conditions that day or just a really hard course.

[@OcihEvE]

Guy is a really good sport and 82 on a Legacy course is damn impressive. I'm 100% certain I could score 82, if by score you mean count the number of balls I lost

[@GolfQuestChannel]

Rick is smart enough to follow suggestions from the viewers and this has been talked about quite a bit. Well done. Not to mention that Guy is a very likeable bloke. Keep up the great work team.

Love how at the end of the day Rick has the emotions of us ‘commoners’… Going from “ahh unlucky”, “ah it’s not my day”, “ahh RICK!”; immediately to: “I should get a plaque on this hole!” 🤣🤣 love it

[@rufussthoo4083]

The biggest problem with 'Break 75' is that you are, by definition, focusing on the outcome rather than the process. Every time you announce you "need a birdie, 3 birdies, an eagle, or a birdie-eagle finish", things go south. It happens to me too. If I think I need to birdie a hole to make up for the bogey on the previous hole, I invariably bogey that hole too. I'd like to see a 'Break 75' where you don't even talk about the score 'live' during the round but edit it in later. Just film a fun round of golf with Guy, talk about the course, the local area, the history, and let the score be the score. P.S. Wallasey is an awesome looking course. Would love to play there one day.

[@shaun34]

I never knew that they don’t play Stableford in the States. It’s probably the most common club competition here in Australia. Speeds up play, encourages you to still go for birdies and better but doesn’t completely wipe out your round for one bad hole.

[@GolfQuestChannel]

@@shaun34 I never thought about how it would speed up play but that is genius. Of course, you just pick up your ball if you don't make the bogey. Brilliant. I'm in Canada and we don't play it here either. I know of it but have never used it. Interesting stuff.

[@austinflores5228]

[@Bradrackas]

Loving the recent vids Rick, especially the break 75. I can’t help thinking so many of your problems stem from not finding fairways from the tee. You’re putting far to much pressure on second and third shots by continually having to play from out of the rough.

[@dfeidt40]

The links I've seen you play look so much nicer than any I've near me. The fairways are all flat, no contour or slopes and they look wedged into a spit of land. This course looks wonderful!

[@josephbetts7992]

Rick honestly that course looked stunning to play and a big thanks to Dr stableford for his golf format, I recently played a medal and captains day and took a 14 and an 11 on a par 5 9th hole of my local golf course courtown GC, to say card wreckers is an understatement plus the embarrassing title of highest score recorded on that hole only to birdie it twice next two weeks running, but do they remember the birdies! No, so thank you Dr stableford truly a lot to be said for scratching a hole.

Rick, I think this, brea 75 is by far and away the best thing on your channel. Being a golfer who goes out with the break 75 mindset it's good to see the thought process you go through. However, this episode epitomises something that has plagued you for the last 2 years. When you play with Guy and Adam Scott you can see your tempo is slightly out, trying to blast it, and you invariably end up left. The wedges look so much better when you slow it down. It's something I'm working on too. Great looking course mind.

I have only watched the front 9 so far, but this is already a perfect example of how important short game is. Rick made very few greens, hit very few fairways, found himself in bunkers, was hooking his irons, but because of his wedge and putter play, he got out of the front only +2. I can be playing way better, hitting fairways, most greens, etc, but my putting and chipping leads me to getting at least +5 on the front. this tells me and maybe you also that I need to work on my short game, it is the most important thing in golf
