So many great videos to come! This is just the start 😉

[@bigboy9842]

Rick hi

[@back2back379]

Swing looking much smoother Rick!

[@da_aviator1316]

@rick, is it just me or is your backswing slower? Seems so much more controlled. I'm only 10min into this video and already loving it. Great job fellers.

[@itscodyt7190]

Epic Collaboration! 🏌

[@duckduckgolf]

Can’t wait to see my two favorite true golf YT channels collaborate in these videos to come

[@mathewsandford3796]

This is one of the things I think Grant contributed to Good Good - one thing that I feel is sorely missing after his departure - his pure enjoyment of someone else's excellent shot. He genuinely appreciates a great golf shot. It's a huge confidence booster for his opponents and playing partners. And it's great sportsmanship. His positivity is infectious. Well done Grant!

@@FRIDAYLXVEi don’t get it wtf does adderall have to do with anything?

[@insatiablemop3274]

Grant's tempo is contagious. Rick seemed to adopt it in this and his swing is looking silky.

[@jeremydomin7671]

Exactly what I was thinking, Rick shoots bad golf when his swing tempo gets fast.

[@Henicine]

Sort of looks like his swing from 3-4 years ago

[@jakeenticottMotivation]

Ricks slow takeaway has improved his strike MASSIVELY 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@samiam7821]

That one video where he was topping every shot made me mad

[@jakeenticottMotivation]

@@samiam7821 would like if someone could put the two swings side by side.. @RickshielsPGA

[@sathyasubramanian5622]

yeah he's no longer rolling his wrists open on the takeaway. Lot less forearm rotation thru impact

[@markmcdonald6459]

Was thinking the same thing. You can tell him playing with Grant who is so silky smooth has really helped him slow it down. The misses to the right are when he gets a little too slow. He relies on timing as his arms need to match his body and they can get flippy through impact. I’d like to see him with an even more strong left grip so he can’t flip it left

[@jakeenticottMotivation]

@@markmcdonald6459 yeah very true! The first few holes he was a different player, there’s a difference between smooth and slow for sure! Good on him for implementing the slower takeaway in a match though! 🙌🏻

[@mikegaines8195]

Grant slow rolling Rick on a move to Florida was a magical sales pitch

[@williamcarothers4976]

I have to get out of Chicago. Amazing city with great golf courses. Arguably the best summer city and summer weather. However, it’s unplayable for 6 months and my game regresses.

[@h.l.4723]

@@williamcarothers4976 true. I’m in suburbs of chicago. I play at stonewall orchard all the time. But we only have a limited amount of time to play. I’m glad I’m still able to keep a low single digit handicap but with limited weather, it’s sucks

Loved Grant’s commentary, you can hear a lot of admiration in his voice and it’s clear he wants Rick to perform. Loved this!

[@ExbotHero]

Mate, he most of all needs Rick to perform if the content going to be anything special. I actually think he is playing pretty soft (here and there) to spare Rick from a real humiliation. With that said. Rick does perform way better than expected.

[@juhefner2855]

I’m only a few holes in but Rick is lookin good out there! Break 75 today? 😅

[@cryptogrumps7139]

The golf content with Rick has been amazing over the last month. I love to see Grant and Rick collabing!

[@userac-xpg]

Found this through Rick's channel. Grant is a superb golfer. Great ball striking and zero blowup holes.

[@FW-od1lt]

Great to see Rick’s takeaway a bit slower than his normal. Looks like it is giving him a bit more consistency and confidence. Love the video and how much would all of us pay to have Grant’s golf swing. It’s a thing of Beauty!

[@michaellewis3766]

Came to say the same thing. The past few months tempo has been his biggest issue

[@randelldanner8588]

And not worrying about shaping shots.

[@Vandercross87]

Have been looking forward to this one. Not easy to go head to head with Grant “the king of swing” Horvat, but Rick’s swing is looking so much better than a few weeks ago. His backswing tempo is way calmer and better and it’s paying off. Love this content 🙌🏻

[@psilver063]

He needs to thank Grant for the lesson before the round but too much ego for that!

[@DocHudson420]

@@psilver063maybe he did and it isn’t on camera. So maybe you shouldn’t say ignorant things :)

[@danieljohn560]

I think playing with all the young guns has given Rick a little kick in the ass to get his game back up there. Love to see it.

[@davidbeyea9006]

He literally says in the video he had a on course coaching session with James Robinson.

[@kieranquinn623]

Swng still looks very quick compared to someone like Grant, but that just may his style?

[@markwesselmann9237]

Grant I've never seen your swing and your tempo so in sync, it's fun to watch

[@GregEdi]

Really really loved the colab with Grant and Rick. They both played well and the vibes were off the charts. Thanks guys.

[@davidbrown1562]

3 holes in and I'm thinking you gave Rick a lesson before you started. A much slower back swing and smoother down swing from him and it's the best I've seem him hit the ball. If only his putting had matched the rest of his game. Grant, your swing is, as ever, the purest there is. 👏👏

[@hkp9257]

Regarding his swing, make sure to listen to the podcast episode :)

[@BraxtonJohnson05]

My thoughts exactly lol

[@robs5855]

His swing was slower some years ago. It looks good.

[@jumpguyty]

Rick’s tempo change is soooo Noticeable. Good for you brother.

[@mrwaltermathews]

Easily the best Ive seen Rick play and that sad thing is he was upset about every shot simply because he was behind Grant,.

[@KalpeshRaicha]

So much fun to watch these two guys play. Rick and Grant both are amazing guys and so much fun to watch them play together !! Keep creating these videos !!

[@KA-dm9lm]

Grant man, thanks for the 18 holes stroke play! Love all your content but I always think this is the purest format. Thanks to you and your team for all the hard work so we can enjoy!

First tee round of applause was brilliant, looking forward to these videos

[@mrgusse]

I just can't get enough of Grant's golf swing, it's poetry in motion. Looks so effortless so smooth. If only I had a swing like that I might be able to play at a better level. Wow!!

[@bamarodog8477]

I so enjoyed that! The golf was great, but the conversation and discussion of golf shots and the adversity and joy expressed by each of you shows that even a high handicap golfer like myself experiences sometimes on every hole keeps me trying to ever improve. Thanks to both of you!

A couple of gentlemen who really love the game of golf. These two together is great content

I follow both these players and have looked forward to this match since they played last when GG visited the UK. One of my favorite things about Grant is his positivity. In this video you really see him trying to boost Rick’s confidence and energy. Amazing round from both of you! I don’t think I’d be too upset shooting under 80 and these two did it pretty easily. Keep up the great content to the both and we’ll keep tuning in. 😀

[@timmcdonald9877]

Beautiful course, well done Grant!!

[@yamatexang7890]

One thing I've noticed about Rick over the years, just as many have, is that once his confidence is gone the easy ones start to get away from him. Then a snowball effect happens. Rick was playing as good as I've seen him play in a long time at the beginning. Which was really good to see. Rick don't beat yourself up so much. That pressure is hurting your game. I know, easier said than done. I'm not through with the video, but I hope Rick finds it later in the round 👍. EDIT- Literally 2 minutes after posting this comment, Rick acknowledges his confidence issue. Gotta stay positive Rick!

[@srtjdm1458]

LOL Grant was feeling bad for rick.. that’s why grant started missing chips & putts on purpose… Guarantee iT.!!

[@userac-xpg]

Rick's putting is atrocious. Too many initial putts don't even make it to the hole. First putt should go 1-3 feet past the hole if it doesnt drop. He's leaving a bunch 4-5 feet short

[@geenee3589]

Yes, I recognize myself in a lot of his energy when things aren't going great. I would love to see him work with a mental game coach about how to shake off the bad golf vibes / negative spiral, that would be interesting for me also.

[@cyberviking8110]

This is AWESOME!!! I love how Grant "blades" a chip and the rest of us are thinking i wish that was my catastrophic "blade" miss...

[@srtjdm1458]

LOL Grant did that on purpose.. come on now it was obvious that rick was getting upset & grant as the good guy he is felt sorry & started shooting bad so rick could catch up & get his confidence back up… Grant is too damn good at golf… dudes a beast on the course.!!
