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.

[@garethmorgan7474]

Great podcast Rick, your channel is top notch

[@sijones501]

Sounds amazing! Apart from a couple holes sounds like you played really well. I know it’s all about the experience and score isn’t that important, but playing awfully would spoil the day slightly, so really you made the most out of it. Really happy for you, you deserve all your success!

If Dude Perfect was allowed to film at Augusta National for their "All Sports Golf Battle" video, I feel like Rick and the team should have been able to

Thanks Rick, really enjoyed shot by shot description and the visuals. Give us a much better idea of the layout of the course that TV coverage doesn't show Well done to you and your team

[@TOPTENTRAVEL01]

To be honest, I almost didn't watch this, thinking it would be terribly boring, but the Google Earth shot illustrations made all the difference. Congrats on a great round - we all got to live vicariously through you, for a day at Augusta National!

[@evan3635]

I actually love Augusta's no phone/filming policy. It wouldn't really make sense for other courses, as Augusta is the only tournament to host a major every year, but when the masters is going on, everybody is tuned into the broadcast. You aren't distracted by all the social media fan pov videos or pictures. You really don't ever get to see much of the course outside of once a year in April. And that makes the Masters so much more special and my favorite event by far.

[@fusionenvironmentalsolutions]

Love this. Gotta give the editor a bonus for the amount of work put in to this video, it's absolutely spectacular.

Your an amazing narrator, either when it’s recounting your previous shots at various courses in your studio or describing a shot your just about to play. You add just enough humour and humility to make the average and below average golfer like me relate to you. Thank you and keep up the good good work.😉

[@brianwaldo2642]

Koodos to your team for assembling this awesome shot display. Your breakdown of every hole was excellent as I felt your rollercoaster of emotions.

[@Areyouduckingserious]

Kudos

[@davidlum8313]

Your guy did an amazing job with the hole views and 'shot tracers'. I was there all four days and I got a completely different perspective from a ground view and being completely surrounded by people. It's amazing how open it is without the patrons.

[@BucsGolf]

Props for this video. It’s nice to have the sort of visual aid of your shots. You didn’t have to do that for us. Long live the king!

[@mitchpaul3904]

Very cool to hear the play by play! And HUGE shoutout to the editor who helped us visualize all these shots. What an amazing opportunity, thank you for sharing it with us.

[@JD01tube]

Rick, not only do you put a great swing on the ball, but you've given us a wonderful experience through your shot by shot narrative. Thank you.

[@Fuzcapp]

As someone who has to write, record and edit audio and video all day, 5 stars to both you and your editing team. Great run through of an exciting day. I was feeling everything as if I was playing Augusta myself. Great narration Rick and huge kudos to your editors.

[@ianweir2812]

Thanks for sharing your experience Rick. At the end I realized that I spent the past half hour with a smile pasted on my face listening to you recount your round...you have a remarkable ability to connect with your audience!

[@Snipes1702]

This guy is very good at what he does! Rick's best video in nearly 200! In this 33 minute video he answered the question so many of us ask. What is it like to play Augusta National. His analysis was pitched perfectly between detail, thoughts and numbers. Very enjoyable. Hope to see a straight Break-75 in 2024. Or, even better, a Break-75 from tournament second shot positions, using short lay up tee shots from members tees !!

[@sara-liz6631]

Rick, you truly have the ‘gift of the gab’ - you made that so engaging and, as everybody has said, your editing team are awesome. Who’d have thought it could be nearly as good as watching a video?!

[@davidw3673]

You almost HAVE to try the hero shots if it's the one & only time you'll get to play a course like that. If it was a comp, or your 2nd/3rd trip there, then you play safe, smart, trying to score well. Kudos on playing a decent round at an iconic course, and most importantly, having fun.

[@garyosborne8906]

Rick…..thanks for the video. I started to zip through it thinking I didn’t want to listen to someone remember and describe a shot by shot review of 18 holes with 80-some short stories. I blew through it and landed on your description of 18. It was sooooo interesting that I went back to the start and listened to the entire video. It was a really interesting detailed report and I loved every second of it. The drawings really helped me imagine each hole. Unlike many golfers who can recall every hole on a course, I cannot. So even though I have probably watched every Masters since the late 70’s, when someone talks about number 12 or number 2 or whatever, I have no idea if it was a par 3, 4 or 5 or any other details. BUT…..the second I saw a drawing I could recall the hole with crystal clear memories. BTW, I belonged to a Donal Ross country club from 1995 until 2004 and played it at least twice a week. Even after all of those years of play, if someone was telling a story about being on # something, I had to go back into my mind and imagine #1 or #10 and work my way through the course in order mentally to imagine that hole. I guess my mind doesn’t work that way. I had a hard enough time just recalling the shots on one hole to mark my scorecard….LOL…..maybe that was because there were so many shots to remember on each hole. Anyway, thanks for the video…..it was outstanding.

[@jarrettsnare4576]

This video felt like when my dad, uncle, and I would talk about our rounds of golf on the phone with each other. I absolutely loved this video and how you and your editor did it, wonderful as always Rick!

Glad such a great ambassador of the game of golf, such as yourself, was able to experience Augusta National. Most of your viewers would shoot a 100 at the very minimum. I think your 82 is pretty damn good, myself.

[@jerryforenzo288]

It was fun listening to your round at Augusta. I was lucky enough to go there in 2012. You are so right about TV not doing Augusta justice. Only o e word to explain it is spectacular.

[@josephdivisconti396]

Rich, it's my dream to play there. I retired in March and played all summer 5 days a week. Watching your videos and playing 5 to 6 days a week, I dropped 6 stokes off my game. Down to a 12 handicap, I will be playing there one day very soon in the near future. Thank you for all your help with your videos.Please keep them coming.

[@mjac8373]

Rick you are living a charmed life, that is so sweet yeah man. Been following you for a long time. All good. Can't wait to get into this video. !!

[@stratovani]

Ten over par at a course that is this iconic is a helluva achievement. The chances are you'll probably never play it again so you now have bragging rights in perpetuity. Well done, Rick, now there's one iconic course left for you to play - Pebble Beach.

[@ronswinford4952]

I have been lucky enough to play it twice. I can do the same thing, I know the clubs I hit on each shot and what scores I had. As you said people watching on TV can't realize the slopes and hills of the course and while everyone knows the greens are the fastest around, you can't understand that until you putt on those greens for the first time. When you are a guest like that they treat you well and you will never forget it. Glad you got to play it, hopefully there will be a next time for you and you will get to film it. I shot an 86 the first time I played and 74 the second time.

[@The-OC]

Absolutely brilliant Rick, well done pal. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@stuartkennedy4570]

For those who want to have a similar 12th hole experience. Go play Pitreavie golf club in Fife. This is also an Alistair McKenzie designed course. Long before he designed Augusta. The 12th at Augusta was modeled after the 12th at Pitreavie….

Super description of your round at Augusta. I have had the pleasure of being at 2 masters and you are spot on regarding elevation and green undulation and speed. I did play a replica course in Houston where Amen corner was copied and have to say 11 was the scariest tee shot to hit and the second shot was worse. Thanks for sharing your experience and nice playing, only one 3 putt!

[@FloridaManRacer]

Since no filming is allowed at Augusta, you did the next best thing with this video. I think the only thing that could've worked any better is making a character in the new EA Sports PGA game and going to Augusta to explain every shot with 3D visuals lol. This was a great video Rick, congrats and thanks for sharing it with us.

Great stuff Rick! Played a replica of Amen Corner (at a course called Renditions just outside of Annapolis, Maryland). On the par 3 7th (Augusta's 12th), I topped my iron just short of the creek, everyone in my group laughed as we were being photographed / videoed for the event............Ha, I was the only one laughing after I stuck my second to about 2 feet, made par, the only one in the group to do so!

Having watched the Masters for 50 years or more I know how tricky those greens are. I think +10 is a very good score for a first attempt (+5 of that was on 2 holes). Would have been wonderful to get a birdie but sadly not to be. Great graphics (especially helpful for the front 9 which i don't know so well because of the limited coverage). I felt the enthusiasm recalling what must have been an incredible experience.
