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.

I love how engaging and genuine Tom is with Rick. Seems like he was genuinely having a good time.

Tom Watson is my favourite golfer by miles Often a winner and comes across as such a nice guy. But he was just the same when he lost. Best bad weather golfer ever.

Amazing Rick! Way to go with one of the best ever!

Seve*

I shot an 83 Monday and a 103 today. I don’t think people realize how consistently good the legends were and honestly still are.

[@timdanks2186]

Seve made a beautiful birdy on 18, and unfortunately Tom couldn't save his par from tight up against the wall. A two shot swing that sealed the Open that year. One of the great Open stories.

Tom’s feat of almost winning the Open at age 60 ranks as one of my favorite golf moment and is arguably one of the most impressive feat accomplished in golf.

[@sts3884]

Mate I was in tears when he missed the putt. He hit such a great iron shot that just rode the wind too much. It would have been the greatest sporting achievement in history in my opinion. I find it tough to watch it back, always hope the outcome will be different. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹. Still an amazing achievement all the same.

[@ericknopik2852]

I second this. I have never been more nervous watching a golf tournament than I was during the 2009 Open. Had Tom Watson won, that would have been the greatest moment in golf history.

He’s not like that at all.

[@golfcoursemanager33]

@@KarlsCracklingCottonMouth what exactly did he do? If you volunteered to work at a tournament, what is a player in the tournament supposed to treat you like? Did he walk by you and spit in your faces? Is he supposed to go around and hand out 100 dollar bills to you? smh Unless you can be specific and documented any so called bad behavior, you should keep your pie hole shut.

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

​@@golfcoursemanager33He has a right to talk about his experience with Tom, just like all of you with your positive opinions of the man. Id like to hear what he did specifically, but it shouldnt shock anyone that celebrities arent always the pleasant people they are on camera.

[@slowhypno]

That was incredible. I have 3 sons. Two played high school and college golf. The oldest played about 6 years on the mini tours and actually won twice. They all grew up in the 70s and 80s while Tom Watson was the best golfer on the planet. Mr Watson is considered a deity in my family. It took our family a good three months to get over the disappointing loss to Stewart Cink. None of us to this day have anything kind to say about Mr Cink ( just kidding). Tom’s memory is phenomenal. We saw him play at the Greater Greensboro Open the year he was first Ryder cup captain. After the Friday round he came out of the scorers tent and found my boys because he noticed the intense cheering squad that followed him for 2 days. He spent a good 30 minutes talking with them. They were thrilled. In 1997 my oldest son and I were at the Masters and found Tom on the Third tee waiting for the fairway to clear. Brian was in the front row wearing a Ram hat. Tom saw him and joked that he liked his hat. Brian replied that he liked Tom’s hat also. The crowd laughed. Then Tom looked at my son and said I remember you from Greensboro. Is your dad here. Brian said yes and Tom waved and spoke to me. Great memories from a great man.

[@2cardarsenal310]

Awesome story, thanks for sharing the great memories with your sons and interacting with Tom.

[@flashknockdown7271]

Incredible story!

[@GolfQuestChannel]

Oh that loss at Turnberry was crushing. Tom was so so close. After he hit his tee shot on 18 I thought he had it. That second shot killed him. Oh so so close.

[@Stuck_in_the_70s]

Brilliant story thanks for sharing. What an honour, Tom is such a legend of the game.

[@davemalo3674]

As a senior player myself its gratifying to see him use that smooth stroke with excellent results. Its not all about power and club seed. What a gentleman!

Imagine having permission from one of the all time GOATs of golf “to, turn it loose man” what great video Rick and team 👏👏👏

This has got to be one of my favorite videos of the year. Tom seems like the most down to earth person ever. Great video!

[@GolfQuestChannel]

Indeed. Well said.

[@brettbhowell]

There used to be a champions tour major event in Portland, OR every year. My dad worked for Jeld-Wen who was the title sponsor. One year, he got to work a practice round and brought me with him so I could walk around and watch these guys play before the tournament started and it would be hard for me to see. I was probably 10-11 at the time but already loved golf. I decided to follow Tom Watson around for a couple holes, and on the third or fourth, he came over and said “how you doing today young man?” I could barely talk but said “good Mr Watson. “ Then he said he’d seen me following him for a couple holes and asked if I would want to walk with him and his caddie and help him for the next couple. Absolute class act. He made me a fan for life. He didn’t need to do that at all but knew he’d make my day.

[@fillpotadventures]

Hi Rick! Loved this video of you and Tom Watson playing at the Old Course. My wife and I were on a cruise ship excursion and we were fortunate enough to meet you on this very day. Seeing you and Tom Watson was the highlight of our entire GB cruise! Thank you so much for taking the time to take a selfie with us!

So cool - you were there during the filming? Good stuff.

[@stebrad123]

[@TeddyCavachon]

Tom Watson’s book “Getting Up and Down from 40 yards and in…” was one of the first instructional books I bought back in the mid-1980s when I got serious about learning the game. He suggested two drills which I did which vastly improved my vision and understanding of shot making around the green. First he suggested going to the range and hitting every iron and wedge starting with 1/4 swings, then progressing to 1/2, 3/4 and full while observing and comparing elevation, carry and roll distances. Then armed with that new encyclopedia of golf knowledge go out and practice at a short game area hitting shots with all the clubs from 40, 30, 20, and 10 yards. It made me realize that in many situations from 40 yards and in there are better odds of keeping the ball on the green and closer to the hole with a partial swing with a mid-iron vs. just reaching for 60° lob wedge. I also a few years ago read his retrospective book “The Timeless Swing” in which he reflects on how his approach to the game evolved. I still play with a PING Pal putter similar to the one he used to win the Open and other majors and try to channel his spirt when I put, telling my playing partners I got the putter when I joined the “Tom Watson Psychic Friends Network” 😂.

[@Shane_O]

Nice post Teddy… 👍might have to see if the book is still available. can’t wait for this weekend’s 150th

[@MrDJS444]

Thanks! This post reminded me that I have his “Getting Up and Down” book and used to refer to it a lot. So I just pulled it off the shelf and will go through it again. My short game needs a lot of work!
