[@lukejackson1933]

Crushing it mate. Keep on playing and loving the game.

[@Tbo1235]

Great having you Min Woo

[@harrymartin3072]

Legend

[@stevencockings7145]

Keep up the good work buddy

[@tankus41]

You are a unit seen you hit a shot at Aussie open …. Was redick

[@eds2223]

Rick’s love and excitement for golf in general is so genuine and endearing. It’s such a pleasant podcast.

[@VegBazzoBoys]

As a West Australian myself I love to see Min Woo doing so well. Thanks for that relaxed and insightful interview.

[@yaakovbelfer1698]

That was the best interview ever !!! It is sooo refreshing to watch an interview with a professional golfer who still talks with the freshness and eagerness of someone like any of us!! So great and now I def have a new fave golfer !!

[@reubensoibelman941]

Was counting the hours down for this upload! Keep up the great work Rick and Guy! Happy to see Min Woo Lee back woohoo

[@JC-KeepSmiling]

That Rhayader course is such a wonderful story! And what a masters for Min Woo - well done all concerned..👍

[@aidangriffiths5075]

Always love to hear from Min Woo Lee, an unbelievable player. Future major champion for sure. One of my favourite shots ever was his 7 iron on the playoff hole at the scottish open last year, recorded it to break it down into slow motion, the noise off it was ridiculous

[@Grixxly]

Old video, but... for the adult that only picked up golf a year ago, now two I hope. You can always practice, without being at the course or the range. I'm a Hogan person and 30+ years of playing/practice I still refer to the book and check my grip constantly. Courses I play, or am going to play I constantly look at the layout and form my plan of where I'm going to hit it, where am I missing lately and if I'm going to miss where am I going to stay in play? I visualize the round and take little notes so that when I hit the course I have a plan. And the advice from my old swing coach; when you're on the range and hitting it great, stay on the range. When you're hitting it like crap, go play, it will teach you to scramble. Best of luck.

[@ShawnyBGolf]

Great stuff! Always great to hear stories and information like this! Keep it up fellas!

[@paulinelock592]

Such a good podcast and what a fantastic achievement. Great to share your home city of Perth WA with you Min Woo.

[@JustGoodFootball]

Love the insight, he gives so much more info than normal , great questions and such a Baller! 👌🏼 Great Pod 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@Giants4641]

I was following lee watching the masters. Rooting hard for him. Had a great tournament. Thank Rick and thanks Min! Keep up the great vids and keep up the great golf!

[@bex1909]

What a great bloke Min Woo Lee is. So down to Earth and likeable, definitely an inspiration for many. Fantastic podcast gents, thanks again for delivering this to us, best podcast bar none.

[@kraphtykryptic6103]

I can relate to the dear Rick, I'm exactly the same boat minus the spending. I have gotten to the point I only do match play (will still track scores for reference) because then I can ignore the bad holes and focus on the good ones.

[@jacksonfro]

Seeing two podcast players in featured groups (Min Woo and Victor) was awesome, both class players!

[@neildonald9263]

Good WA boy , he can hit a golf ball. I was on a my local driving range with a couple of guys I know from the pro shop. They were doing classics and Min Woo lee was hitting ball. He was hitting ball over the fence with iron at 250 metres. Very nice guy what you see on here, easy to talk to.

[@richevans4826]

Loved the podcast. Weirdly one of the longest but felt like one of the quickest it was that interesting. Keep up the good work guys. Good luck for the future Min

[@stephenhayes2684]

Hi chapps. Since I saw min woo on your first video,I've been following him and his sister.he parents should be so proud coz I think in the next 2 years min woo and his sister will both be in the top bracket of players.good luck to them.keep up the great work. ⛳️

[@iangompertz5537]

best podcast yet, i think i said that last one...Min Woo Lee is such a dude and from Perth WA too - aka best place on earth, well done guys you're raising the bar of this type of content

[@jimdeardorff4715]

Good to have Guy back. Min Woo was a great interview loved hearing from him and have been following him since the videos last year - so cool.

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

Thanks Jim! (Guy)

[@davide_001.]

Nice podcast Rick! I'm have italian and have an aussie and from now on i will definitely start cheering for Min Woo 🇦🇺🇮🇹 He sounds like a really kind person and obviously a great golfer

[@Matt-nl3hn]

Min woo Lee seems like such a nice guy. Been following since the first video and can't wait for his first major. Love listening to the podcasts and hearing players just talking in this kind of relaxed way. Great stuff 👏

[@markbean2777]

Min woo is awesome. You seem to get the best from the elite golfers of the world. Every video with them is superb

[@EriksBarbering]

Great that you guys are back, was anxiously waiting for this weeks Podcast! Hope you enjoyed your holiday break!?

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

Yes. It was great thanks!

[@fshsweden]

Liked the Masters talk a lot! Great entertainment! Min Woo Lee is so cool. I won 2 tickets to the Wednesday practice + Par-3 contest in 2017. After lots of agony (I really couldn't go) I handed over the tickets to a friend. Image then when the day and contest was cancelled because of heavy rains...first time in 57 years..... Imagine taking that long trip, with all costs involved, being THAT close, and then get robbed of the whole thing....

[@Tbo1235]

Lovely to have you both back . Guy doing great things in the podcast game, the beard suits you sir . Much love from Styal golf ⛳️

[@terrancemcdonald1572]

I picked up a used seven wood (F9) at the start of this year... fantastic. Good to have you back, Guy!

[@sanderheemskerk8351]

This Made my working day a lot beter , great podcast again and what a legend is min woo lee

[@guyrandom8518]

What an awesome chat with a top bloke. I can see how proud you were Rick, it came through the screen mate

[@adamforster6300]

Glad thirsty Tuesday is back🍻🙃. I only joined at the start of last year then our club was shut down(was on a Army barracks) last week I got 36 stab points with 2 wipes, was the best I had ever played on our new course and something just clicked, the practice just stared paying off. Keep on playing anonymous it will click👍🍻

[@jackosborn8759]

Amazing podcast this is boys. Min Woo is an incredible player and a brilliant guest. Im always looking out for him after seeing him on the main channel. Hopefully theres more videos in the future

[@gavinporter8035]

Totally agree with you both over playing Stableford as a high handicapper. It's a great way of keeping the interest/enthusiasm alive in a round, which can only be a benefit to a golfers learning curve!

[@robertpearce6657]

Great Pod cast Rick really enjoyed listing to Min Woo, and living in Perth as well, he is a very talented player and with his sister MinJee what a great two ball they would be to watch

[@dannmetal6459]

Min Woo Lee is such a damn champion. Taking out is own time to have a chat and describe his experience. Mate, you already have me as 'fanboy' so I hope you kick some Aussie butt in future.

[@mgibuk]

On that guy who isn't seeing gains in the Dear Rick. I would recommend playing to handicap instead of gross score then the narritive changes from "I shot 110, I'm shit" to "I shot 5 over my handicap today", or "I shot 2 under my handicap today". The handicap system is why golf is so great imo. It makes you want to improve but also puts you on a level playing field against the people you play with. It's also a way of the weaker player winning the honour off the tee from the better players in a group. Going last everytime can suck, especially if you've got someone behind you who is putting pressure on you to speed up play.

[@philipmullan5348]

the lad is just pure class

[@dylannoronha2784]

In Australia we literally only play Stableford scoring for competitions unless its stated otherwise.

[@metalheads-golf]

In the Netherlands stableford is the most used. This is also as the NGF Dutch Golf Federation has a great app to book your rounds which is easy of use and counts for the hcp. As long as it is with a marker. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@igonzalez7814]

Good cast... I have had a 7wood for a long time. I agree they are great. I have heard "oh my grandfather has one". Then I stick it 8ft away from 210.👍⛳

[@balisticsnake7759]

Backed Min at 275/1 ew, gave me a great run for my money , but more important, he played outstanding, last day was phenomenal, he is just such a great character and outstanding professional, and great friend of the RSPC

[@mwilliams74]

Love this one. Min Woo Lee is a top guy. Wishing him every future success ⛳️

[@Cushty84]

Great podcast as always. I believe Min Woo Lee is a going to be a Major champion at somepoint, Comes across as a really good lad and he can really play so with him the best of luck in his career..🏌️‍♂️⛳️

[@kengaston9371]

Watch podcast where e mail of new golfer struggled to improve , I took up golf at 65 and play twice a week , 13 years later have handicap that has varied from 17 to 19 ,a got a lot of help from my group , Old Codgers , and only had an initial 8 lesson at 65 . Got a lot of help from your and others you tube lessons . Your anominous beginner needs to enjoy and persist , thanks ,enjoy your pod casts

[@ryanmcmahon6210]

Great show. Certainly rooting for Min Woo Lee in the future.

[@drakecthomas]

Awesome interview guys, definitely a bigger Min Woo Lee fan after this!

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

That’s great to hear

[@danielreilly1348]

I play sunningdale almost every time, in reference to the stroke play question. If one person/team goes 2-up the other player/team strokes on next hole. Keeps it more balanced 👍🏽

[@fanieroos8376]

You guys are killing my productivity at work! Ha ha ha! Great show as always gents.

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

Thanks so much

[@ianmacwhinnie8783]

Askernish, Brora, Machrihanish Dunes, rugged golf courses series with hickory clubs… and James Robinson 💪🏻🙌🏻

[@breakmytee93]

With me and my buddies, we always play stroke play. The only time we don't is when we're playing with both high and low handicap players and can balance teams evenly. Occasionally match play, scramble, shamble, etc. It does make it fun to switch it up every now and then though! Love the podcast guys, keep up the great content!

[@jesusrevus8017]

The guy who wrote in unhappy about not improving but spending time on lessons and the range- he said he’s only getting on the course once a month. So he might be learning to hit a golf ball but he’s not learning to ‘play golf’ and getting in the course. It’s so easy to hit the ball at the range- perfect lies, squares mats for set up and you don’t get punished for an offline shot so you get a false sense of how good you are. That’s all before even mentioning chipping, putting, bunker shots, side hill, up and down hill, hitting from the rough. Get on the course and learn to get it around, not just hitting balls on the range.

[@stompingpeak2043]

If you can't go out much just get some practice balls and hit them around your yard(or someone else's yard with hills and stuff). So you get used to hitting from the rough/weird hills by doing this and you know how far you hit each club from the range time. Then when you go golfing you know how to hit each shot and know what club to use. Practice balls are like the best thing in the world for me to get better

[@karlportsmouth5571]

What a classy individual he is,and a bloody fine player.

[@johnnydev9318]

Hi from Perth, WESTERN Australia - home town of Min Woo Lee - go Min Woo !!!

[@fplauditromano]

completely agree MWL is an absolute fizzer. Followed him round on Saturday last year at the Scottish Open - hits it so pure

[@mybrandnewsocks]

Good to have you back ferret face, never doubt it

[@AndyHighton]

Regent Park was my first-ever sub-100 round. Shot 98 and Parred the first three holes. Insane.

[@samelwell9463]

I've been a fan of Min Woo Lee ever since watching the St.Andrews video and his quality is going under the radar. I had an each way bet on Min Woo to finish in the top 10 at ridiculously long odds (200/1) - so close to coming in! Great to the meteoric rise in the last 18 months!!

[@oldfartgolf]

Hi, Rick. I would love it if you could incorporate some kind of menu with these long podcasts, just something that would allow us to jump to the beginning of each topic as you start discussing them. Thanks.

[@raymondmassie4898]

At my old club in South Africa, we’d play a monthly medal, a stableford, an individual bogey and a betterball stableford and in a 5 weekend month, we’d play an alliance. Half of the individual bogey comps were bonus bogey so you could get a +2 on a hole with a stroke. Kept it interesting

[@charlesoreve8550]

Always a Monday late night treat here in California. Thanks Rick!

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

Enjoy!

[@charlesoreve8550]

And now that I went through the first half hour of the show, stableford is not popular at all on our side of the world.

[@craigedga4r]

Cream to the top - cant say anymore - Min Woo Lee ..... and you guys, oh sorry i thought Matt was back as well 😱🤣 only joking Guy!!!🤫😉🙂🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@jamescole4183]

Guy is the perfect pod partner. Cheeky digs throughout were brilliant!

[@johnlawrie5236]

Canadian here. I never heard of stableford before. Going to have to give that a try

[@zagreh9426]

Best podcast yet by the golf unicorn.🤣

[@mikereed3287]

My friends and I play stroke play just for fun!! I have rarely heard of stableford here in the states.

[@davidosborne3440]

Love you covering the Rhayader story, my family are from Rhayader and my great grandmother buried her dog somewhere on the course 😂

[@andrewcass9477]

You know it is an Aussie talking when he is using metres instead of yards, loving your work Min Woo.

[@aidangriffiths5075]

Lots of countries use metres broseph

[@andrewcass9477]

what a cool guy Min Woo is, awesome podcast guys

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

He’s great! Thanks so much Peter

[@waynepark4430]

What a great guy. Nothing but great things for him. Agree I think he will win more than one Magor.

[@tylerpalmer8973]

YES!!! 7-wood FTW!!! I started playing a 7-wood years ago. I like them so much better than a hybrid. I'm in the club, lol!

[@claymould8700]

Min Woo Lee - my favourite player after these few shows! Nice one 👍🏌️‍♂️⛳️

[@michaelwhite8778]

I’ve played Cavendish in Buxton loads of times. It’s the course that inspired Augusta designed by Alister MacKenzie. Maybe you could do a break 75 there it would b pretty cool i no Peter Finch has played there before.

[@harryyeomans4359]

Was there on Saturday, it was so cold, all the players where wearing big gloves and extra coats apart from Danny Willet the Yorkshire hardman

[@jamescole4183]

I noticed on the dear Rick there was no mention of short game practice. It's easy to do at home and the quickest way to drop your scores.

[@jimmyglazier6991]

Min woo man crush in full swing! What a legend

[@robertrenekerjr6819]

Hey Guy, I have had a 7 wood for years! Love it.

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

Nice one!! Love mine (Guy)

[@adamevans9644]

What a chill guy

[@raymondbabb1970]

I'm in Guy's club. My Dear old Mum had a Lynx 7wood way back in 1988.

[@gabriel222]

What a champion guy Min is 👍

[@RingoDGD]

If Lee wins The Open, he HAS to come back on.

[@EvanEL77]

I’m with you Rick, 16th hole is the best!

[@DNGR_VR]

hazelhead 1st course in Aberdeen . He created right before Augusta

[@chrisjones-cz9mq]

Going back to the dear Rick. I always play match play when I am with mates. My question is if I want to play Stableford and I don't have a handicap. How does the scoring work. Do I guess what I think I'm playing off?

[@Shoecollector9]

In U.S I think it’s a majority of strokeplay. More smaller playing groups IMO which limits what type games you can play. A newer game that is played alot is WOLF also.

[@joshuathompson2692]

The course I grew up playing at (Darlington Golf Club) was designed by Doctor Alistair McKenzie

[@johng6109]

Great story Rick

[@matty4392]

You’re correct Rick, in America I don’t know anyone who’s ever played stableford. Here I think everyone plays stroke play, or skins (match play).

[@chadquinney8026]

That was brilliant, be cool to see him win the Open

[@RickShielsGolfShow]

💯

[@brodiehollis1747]

I Always play stroke play and very rarely match play - been playing 2 years

[@lorinsmith9898]

Can we not inherit Min Woo for the Ryder cup. Absolutely loved the insight. Thanks guys.

[@johnanthony6324]

different class!

[@tangolf1800]

i think Min Woo will win The Open this year, with the way he is playing, i think he will. 😀😄

[@michaelallen2501]

Here in the states we only play stroke play. Unless it's a charity 4 man scramble or some "fun night" in an after work golf league. We never play match play. At least not the working class weekend warriors. We like to travel and play different courses. That's how we switch it up.

[@seancook2264]

Love the 7wood…Put it in the bag last season. Great club. 👍🏼

[@ironsideeve2955]

What kind of shot /distance do you use it for?

[@seancook2264]

@@ironsideeve2955 Replaces my 19* hybrid. 200-210 carry off the deck, 220 or so off the tee. Often use it as second shot on Par 5’s and has become a bit of a go to club. I also have a difficult almost 90* dogleg hole on my home course where I use the 7w to carry the corner over the trees which if I get it right shortens the hole by 40 yards, if I get it wrong it’s left OB! 😂
