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.

[@ryanhnatowich1085]

It doesn’t matter how much I play this game it never ceases to amaze me how just a bit of confidence can make you play so much better

[@Pulse2AM]

You have to get in the zone, relax, breath, see the shot in your mind before hitting it. It's hard to stay there when a round takes 5 or 6 hours to play but you only need to do it when hitting the shot. I'm 64 started playing when I was 7, I play my best when I'm aggressive and relaxed, hit the ball go get the ball and not be too concerned about much else.

[@ryanhnatowich1085]

@@Pulse2AM I’m only 22, but have been playing for roughly 10 years. The biggest struggle I’ve been dealing with now is that I’m concerned about keeping up with the group in front like you should be, but in a slow round I don’t take enough time on lining up putts even though I have all the time in the world

[@Pulse2AM]

@@ryanhnatowich1085 Do you have a pre-shot routine? Mine is take one or two practice swings to get a feel for the lay of the land, stand behind the ball and pick my target, what kind of shot I want to hit, visualize it, then step up and execute. Putting is not much different, I don't read from the side, the back then the other side only from behind the ball looking at the hole. Local knowledge helps though if you play the same course a lot you get that knowledge. There are some good books on sports and visualization, worth picking one up as the mind is a powerful force in sports and golf. I'm a 7 handicap, would be lower if I were able to practice and play more.

[@ryanhnatowich1085]

@@Pulse2AM Not trying to one up or anything, but im currently a 5 handicap. I havent been able to shoot as good this year because the club im a member at is redoing their range so i havent been able to warm up before rounds. I have a pre shot routine for all shots. Inside 80 yards ish and putts, I do practice swings, but not for full length shots. Full swing shots I kinda stand behind the ball and visualize how i want to hit the shot then just line up and hit it

The camera work and editing is so good omg and i just love Guy. Just one small suggestion: Maybe also show your Guests Scores if they are fine with that.

No need to see guests shots... especially when it will make videography and editing more work for the crew.

[@chrossphyre]

Well Rick you have inspired me. An old friend and avid golfer was visiting Banff on business and I invited him to 18 holes at Brewsters Kananaskis golf course near Canmore, Alberta. This is my first round for at least five years and my first full 18 for a few years longer than that. So I dug my rusty Powerbilt Fuzzy Zoeller set with my $65 Spalding Titantium driver out of the garage (anyone seen my golf shoes?) and proceeded on what promised to be a rainy day down the TransCanada highway to the course. Now this course is full of narrow fairways with gorse and pines on either side, very small greens and because this course is where it is, bears are a legitimate hazard. Fortunately for us both the rain and Paddington's evil big brothers stayed away that day and we were treated to a brilliant walk through mountain vistas in a lovely 20 degree day. The player's hint for this course is bring plenty of used balls, because you're going to be missing a few by the time you are done. If you are lucky like us, you might find a few more than you lose. The course forgives the short-but-accurate player and mercilessly punishes anyone else. So how did I do? I shot a 120...which I was actually happy with. Okay so Tiger has nothing to fear from me but that really wasn't the point. I was able to spend a brilliant day with an old friend in beautiful surroundings playing the game that he loved and I was renewing my passion for. So yeah, I've ordered a new set of clubs (cheaper entry level but still offering me a +1 length for my 6'3" altitude and a stiff shaft that I can develop some club head speed into), planning a Costco trip for some of those cheap but decent balls ( after I use up the balls I found at Brewsters) and waylaying my 30 year-old youngest to come spend time on the links with dear old Dad. And this is all your fault, Rick. If I hadn't watched your videos I would still be spending my Saturdays watching Stranger Things and slowly moldering on the couch. You twat! Look what you've done!😁

Still can’t believe you didn’t chip out sideways on the 18th, we’ve all done it in the heat of the moment we make bad decisions when watching it at home I was literally shouting at the phone “take your medicine” also shows how a break in concentration and momentum can make you lose your rhythm.
