[@bl0wm1nd]

😂😂😂 ffs

[@A1BASE]

I'd probably play a putter too. Would a super spinney chip have a better result? Maybe. If you're really confident in the lie and your skill. But I'm not that good at chipping to do it reliably... and neither is Rick. The downside of that shot is that you skull it past the green. It was 100% the right shot for his skillset.

[@jeremyringma]

@@A1BASE agreed, putter was still a smart play here. It actually stopped pretty close for a short sided shot.

[@alaingSEO]

@@A1BASE You're not spinning a 3 yard carry out of thick rough lol

[@bruhnvh]

Putter was the right call, though he did put too much on it. Very difficult putt to have to attempt, for sure, but I'm not sure how anyone not named Phil looks at that and thinks they can stop a wedge.

[@GralphW]

Now that's proper golf - a great links course, scraggy rough, wind and rain. Perfect. Credit to you Rick for reminding us that even good golfers (yes, that's you!) struggle in adverse conditions - but the love of the game is still there! BTW grab the Wilson woods - you won't regret it.

are you a golfer ?

[@GralphW]

@@Olivia-nc4wh Sure. The real joy for me in golf is the contest between yourself and the course with nature's elements. Best day at golf - stormy day, wind off the Indian Ocean , intermittent rain squalls on a true links course (The Cut in Western Australia).

[@aaronwise4944]

It isn’t he needs to take his medicine some holes. When he’s 250 out and he thinks he’s going to fly it to the hole instead of taking that 150 shot and an easy 3rd shot. It’s when he thinks he can reach it he ends up burning himself.

[@Captainchaos14]

he honestly needs to get rid of half those clubs and try again. they aren’t forgiving in the slightest

[@terrellkoenig3790]

I love when you guys talk crap and a three wood he hits 250 can barely make 190 cause the wind and he’s 4 over with 3 left. You’re kidding yourself if these clubs didn’t perform amazingly.

[@bobwilkinson6828]

Yep, let's blame the club rather than the fact that like all of us when he tries to swing fast he loses control. A drive 10-20 yards shorter which is on the fairway is far more beneficial that bombing one out of bounds. I started watching Rick for his coaching and tips but it seems now he needs to watch some of his own early videos.

[@bswainston3017]

[@jeremyringma]

I took notes. That driver got you in trouble on 5 holes (twice on the quad hole), but is didn't see any instances where the extra 10-20 yeards gained a shot. You also short sided yourself from bad shots 3 times resulting in a dropped shot and underclubbed 2-3 times resulting in a dropped shot but the wind wasn't helping here. Get a driver you can hit and make some better course management choices and you'll break 75 easily. Hole 1 Bogey from short siding after thinning approach shot Hole 2 Bogey from failing to up and down after short sided Hole 3 Par save after wayward tee shot Hole 4 Par after missing 10ft birdie put Hole 5 Up and down for par Hole 6 Quad. OB drive, 3rd shot into fairway bunker (should have hit 3 wood off tee) which fell too short for realistic up and down Hole 7 Lucky birdie after 2nd should have run well through green Hole 8 Green in reg, birdie 15ft putt Hole 9 Par. Missed 10ft birdie putt Hole 10 Birdie! Green in reg. long putt Hole 11 Bogey stemming from errant drive Hole 12 Underclubbed tee shot leaving 20 yards short in bunker. Lucky GUR to up and down for par Hole 13 Par. On for 3 missed long birdie putt Hole 14 Par - should have birdied. Thinned approach shot with tail wind running through the green (landing short correct play) Hole 15 Bogey stemming from wayward drive Hole 16 Bogey. Wrong club from strong wind, chip landed short, failed up and down Hole 17 Birdie after green in reg Hole 18 Errant drive - missed birdie chance

💯 Shot my best round the other day hitting every chip with PW - and that isn’t uncommon for me, both in terms of the principle and the outcome (love an up and down!).

I’ve always found it so weird that I can watch a video, see someone’s aim/line and say that it needs to be more left/right and be correct 80% of the time as a viewer. However on the course those reads turn to mud because it’s so hard to trust what you’ve read and it gets in the back of your mind and you push or pull, hit it short or long etc. I guess my point is (as someone who is NOT good at putting) is that it seems easy to read when you watch someone else do it but almost impossible trusting the read for yourself. We watch these videos and judge so much and the way they sometimes go probably make us feel a lot better about ourselves, but; we should all realise that this game is so difficult and watching and judging with no pressure is so much easier than even hitting a 5 footer with your friend, and, I love that it’s the same for everyone.

Respect for showing hole #6. I feel like there’s a couple major KZbin golf channels that take quite a bit of liberty with their lies, drops, and mishits (not naming names). I’m a bit of a Ping fan, so this may be a bit biased, but I think a couple of Ping clubs might be the answer for you. 1. The 10k max. Finch seems to love it. 2. Don’t laugh, but a Chipr might do you a world of good. You’ve got a lot of confidence with your putting off of the green, and the Chipr gives you more of a putting feel with just enough loft to get you over some rough areas. However, I know ego keeps the Chipr out of many bags, much like people choosing MBs when CBs might help them more. Regardless, I’m a terrible golfer anyways, so my opinion means nothing lol 😂 Always enjoy your videos Rick, keep up the great content!

Typically straight, straight, lob/pitch onto the green and one or two puts. I now think I should put 4/5 and maybe a driving iron into the bag for those days when the woods just don't cooperate. Build an arsenal of clubs rather than just your traditional setup.

Is the wind with us in the room right now?

[@ABDutch]

Great finish. Take that 8 into consideration. Like the way you evaluated your clubs after the round and yes you let your driver down.

[@PullThePinProdsInc]

Dude just put up a 78 with a quad on his card, with new sticks and absolute shite weather. If you noticed, his cameramen were bundled up! Rick, Once you dial these in, you're gonna have a new series, Break 70!

[@freyacolk5634]

Something I have found , you are better hitting fairway at the cost of going crazy for distance, there's no point being longer if your then losing a shot trying to get out of trouble . Also testing driver on course is far more important than on simulator, on simulator there's no consequences to the shots , on course playing a casual, handicap or competition is where it counts and we're your find out if your swing under pressure works with the club . And with the putter if you've had a fitting then don't go changing how you grip it , as it will then defeat the point of the fitting .

[@lawbinson]

I think we need to see what happens if Rick committed 6 months to a full set of fitted Ping G430 Max’s with some Cleveland CBX wedges. Is it truth or myth that better players play worse with them?

[@gtfan998]

Rick. Get the Ping 10k in the bag. Super forgiving and manages spin very well for higher club head speeds

[@robertflint4115]

Wonder if Rick named his new putter “old rusty” 😂

[@TheBradleyp63]

I see a lot of negativity in the comments. I say this with all sincerity. It looks like you're trying to hit at the ball with your right hand. This makes it easy to get yippy with short shots. Just stay relaxed with the hands on all the shots.

[@Andrew-ds9ms]

It’s crazy how he manages to find all those shots deep in to no man’s land and all playable 🤔😂

[@Olivia-nc4wh]

are you a golfer ?

[@vladski]

sorry, I might be misunderstanding, but how is a putting average of 0.55 possible over 9 holes ? that rounds up to 5 putts over 9 holes ? 28:06

[@jpdst29]

I was thinking the same thing. He putted 19 times over the front nine. That’s a 2.11 putting average. I might be missing something too.

[@TtvPhenrik1]

Honestly. I hate to see you with the Cobra Darkspeed. I dont remember a single break 75 with the Cobra driver ever beeing good. I love to see you golf. But the Cobra just isnt for you (when looking at the evidence of holes with the driver. I think it would be so mutch better for you to use a driver that has loads of spins who helps you find the fairways more. Again who am I to say sutch things, I am just a fan.

[@Daniel189HLL]

So true

[@kevinjager124]

I had the Cobra “dog” speed for about a week. Bliddy awful club to keep in the fairway and I’m a 3 hcap. Now went to the 2024 Burner mini driver never looked back since.

[@Cookieman603]

I would find it so hard in your position to stick with certain clubs because of all the choices you have! I love this series, in how it gives us a look into how you approach a round and what your thinking throughout. Keep up the amazing content!! PS come to Australia it feels like there's less wind down here

[@roberttaylor1801]

Come on Rick! As a pro golfer you know only too well that any MB's have to be struck out of the middle. Anything other than the middle and it aint gonna end well. Sure they look good, but you need either MC's or perhaps some hollow heads. Forgiveness is what you need, you rarely hit the middle. The 3 wood makes sense, Max. The driver makes no sense at all. Forget a Low Spin head get a Ping 10k in with a low spin shaft. It works for Pete. Your problem is you aint a scratch golfer now you are going to need help. It gives me no pleasure to say all this. I am 16.5 handicap i reckon i could give you a run for your money

[@Daniel189HLL]

Well said.

[@knightriderkitt3000]

His irons are MCs. They are literally called Staff Model CB.

[@MrMatthew262]

He was mistaken when he said MB’s. His are CB’s.

[@rudigersimpson]

It's England in spring time. The fact that you are outdoors is an achievement in itself.

[@abhi1205]

I was trying to think when have I seen Rick play a good game. All the tech and clubs... but

[@mikebravo3527]

Theres a video from about 3 years ago when he remembered how to play and stuck with what he knows, he shot a 72, since then hes yet to make an up and down or better a 95

[@bobwilkinson6828]

I agree. I started watching Rick years ago for his coaching and tips but it now seems he needs to watch his own early videos.

[@mikepatterson9269]

Love them Wilson clubs - but equally that course is one of the best I’ve played - stunning

[@peterdray9921]

Quote from Linford Christie: It not the shoes, it’s the man.

[@kaliix]

Your new driver isn't the issue, it is the new Driver Swing. I notice in this new swing, your takeaway is far more outside. Since your stock shot is a draw swing, it seems you are fighting the club, trying not to loop it at the top to come down inside or trying to avoid turning the hands over at the bottom. Either way, it is forcing the club face to stay open resulting in a push to the right. I'm no swing guru, but it just seemed pretty obvious to me. YMMV. If you've not read the book or tried the Tour Tempo app, I highly recommend researching the idea that all really good golfers swing on some form of a 3 to 1 tempo. 3 beats from takeaway to the top, 1 beat from the change of direction to contact, all great golfers swing on the same 27/9, 24/8, or 21/7 tempo/rhythm. For the short game, it is 2 to 1, which might help you specifically. This tour tempo revelation is among the greatest golf suggestions I have ever received and I do not say that lightly.

[@fohrum4757]

40:00 "Why I hit driver I'll never know." Yeah. This happens a LOT. No idea why you refuse to use 3 wood or a longer iron off the tee sometimes. Whether its a short par 4 or a troublesome par 5. Just take an extra shot to get to the green, and no doubt you'll yield better results and a lower score. Course management is key. Leave the ego at home.

[@bobbo857]

id love to see you in a callaway AI Smoke triple diamond MAX driver. that or a TSR 2 or TSR 3. There is a bit of forgiveness in all of those with a lower spin setup (except for TSR 2 spin wise). Your ping was short as hell, you've never really got along with Taylormade, cobra has gone full bore into distance above all else and you sprayed that darkspeed LS left, right, and never center. Also, I love that on the hit channel you did a piece for the blueprint irons asking if blades are dead and now you have blades in you bag... golf is a funny game haha. You did, to that point, hit your irons beautifully and the putter was on point. Great vid Rick
