Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This KZbin channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!
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!

The voice over on 2 and 3 in lieu of negativity 😂. You know he was pissed when he hit his best escape shot in 2 years and calmly muttered “not bad from there”

[@drew651]

That 2nd hole looked like a standard day on the course, no?

[@johnfab8835]

Not bad from there !!!! Looked like a dodgy drop. Driver into brush “ managed to find it ??? “

[@Subtekjr]

@@johnfab8835I mean, it's all recorded, they have footage of where it went into the brush, it's not like a normal round where you forget by the time you get up there

[@CodyWheeler]

Right. That was an insanely good shot.

[@matthewley1371]

Rick I hope you see this! when guy is being a lovely lad and praising you or congratulating you on your nice shot atleast acknowledge him 😂

[@Lewis-fd9js]

Haven’t watched Rick in a while, but he definitely seemed very down in this. Cheer up fella, you’re living the dream, travelling the world and playing golf, and getting paid millions for it!

[@Micker375]

Millions is a stretch 😂

[@Lewis-fd9js]

@@Micker375 hmm, not sure it’s too much of a stretch. Didn’t Rick recently sign a sponsorship deal with Mercedes? That’s probably worth a few quid. And his channel gets multi-millions of views per month. I would guess he is, at the very least, making a very high six-figure income.

[@Micker375]

Yes for sure

[@lukegillies4538]

Probably cause he's having to listen to guy for 4 hours

[@CodyWheeler]

Rick, enjoy the game. Have more fun. This was a really great round at a world class course with your best friend and you seem like you don’t even want to be out there.

[@jimmahT]

I respect the request for Bogey Sauce, sometimes a bogey can feel like a birdie when the hole goes wrong. Well done on those occasions Guy!!

[@Bbfishman]

that mentality actually says a lot about his ability to stay positive. how many people would lose their tee shot, take a drop for a 2 stroke penalty so that they're hitting their 4th shot after losing their ball....then he lands it close to the pin and has a bogey putt in that scenario. i know i would look at that situation with frustration that i had to take a drop and i ruined my chance for a par....but he actually looked at it like it deserved celebration with the "birdie sauce" in the edit even for the bogey. thats a really important part of the mentality to keep when you're playing, and i have definitely not trained myself to approach it that way yet. that was pretty impressive to me

[@shepharryshep4627]

just cheer up Rick, youre playing golf everyday and making millions. just f**king enjoy it :):):)

[@xcm69420]

To be fair it is frustrating as hell when you don’t have good rounds repeatedly

[@kymcha]

Yes, but what you don't see is the amount of work that goes into the content creation.

[@garyco766]

@@xcm69420 It's also frustrating when someone who consistently shoots in the mid to high 70s moans and whines about every shot that doesn't go in like he's having the worst/unluckiest day in years, but is actually like every single other round he plays. I was happy to see him narrate holes 2 and 3 instead of all that; a very good change.

[@flightofthebirdie2765]

Comepletely agree. ​@garyco766 Always sulks and makes it hard to watch

[@xerodeus2337]

I'll be honest, I kinda liked that voice over of the messy holes at the start lol.

[@SteveNinetyski]

Me too

[@drewwon]

Same, I was starting to feel that these videos were a bit long sometimes.

[@maxjami563]

but a bit disrespectful to his friend given his friend was doing good.

[@kyllrkoala]

Rick, that was way overdue. It was fantastic to see you shooting like you should have been. We all have highs and lows. The lows can test you, but your highs you need to embrace. Wonderful job and hopefully we see you playing like you did in this video more and more. Minimal stress, effortless play, and having fun!!!

[@Bizmarq1123]

Hey Ricker, I too have struggled with being overly frustrated while struggling through a tough round of golf. I was able to change my attitude simply by reminding myself that the peeps I’m playing with don’t care how I play, but they do care how I act. That has let to me enjoying each and every round regardless of my score. I understand in your situation things aren’t that simple as people are critical of you when you play poorly. It’s unfortunate because anyone who loves golf has gone through times where we don’t play well. Maybe for you’ll connect with the ole Dr. Seuss saying, “Be who you are and say what you feel because those that matter don’t mind and those that mind don’t matter.” I enjoy watching your content and am looking forward to better and more enjoyable days ahead. Cheers!

[@bradschubert1372]

After not watching some golf videos for a while, I'm excited to see how much better Rick is playing and managing the game between the ears. Even with a rough start, he pulled through and still had a great round. Good job, my friend!

[@marvinbauernfeind8962]

Played the course three days ago and it was great to go it again with you guys!!! Love the video - fast track section was e fresh new element👍🏼

[@tiaanloubser2799]

Does anyone feel like Guy is holding back not to upset Rick lol

[@Hereforgolf]

He celebrates ricks good shots more than his own. Obviously to try and get him going and it’s Ricks channel end of the day so we all want to see him play well (Guy included) but it is a weird dynamic seeing guy start on fire and only perk up when Rick plays well

[@Bunkerian]

Honestly, it feels like people think Rick is being negative… but I think they’re mistaking to for getting in the zone and getting serious. Rick plays positive when he’s trying to play positive… usually when he’s possitive, he doesn’t do that great compared to what he’s capable of. When Rick is in the zone, even when Guy might just be having fun… Rick does seem negative but he seems to do better. I don’t blame him for being this way. There’s a time to be positive and there’s a time to be serious. Way to go Rick, nice rounds.

[@deuceboogie0231]

A series where you travel to subscribers home courses and play them and review them would be 🔥

been thinking this for ages!! would be sick

[@briangibson1780]

A very impressive round of golf from both Rick and Guy. Back to back videos of Rick breaking 75!

[@Kaka-uw6lg]

just bought a new stealth 2 plus driver and i am so ready for the golf season to start here in sweden. great video as always rick

[@adamprieur7321]

Hey Rick and Guy, what a nice round to watch. I just want to let you know that your videos and podcast get me through the winters in Canada. Keep swinging and lower scores are going to come. I even got my wife watching your videos with me now. Her only demand is that Shiels does one more buttonup on his shirt and she will continue watching. Thanks for the new clubhouse podcast as well. Gives me something to look forward to on my drive to work every Tuesday and Friday.

[@kenbrown2808]

been so busy, this year, I've missed out on many of my vicarious rounds. it's nice to get another break 75 with the rick and guy energy.

[@Fitzlikeaglove1]

Well played lads. Enjoyed that. Hard to believe the amount of negative comments on a golf video. Rick breaks 75... negative comments. Rick shoots above 80... negative comments. Rick wasn't having fun... negative comments. Guy was having too much fun... negative comments. You just can't win 😂

[@kevinjager124]

Comments are what professional KZbinrs thrive on negative or not 😂

[@wrenc7738]

Bingo! Exactly why I stay away from social media.

[@Stumbler69513]

Its cause we're here for an entertainment product - so if the product isn't entertaining i.e. Rick is just whining about not getting more birdies, yeah there's going to be complaints. (ignoring the haters that will hate anyway) Like from the tone of the video, I never would have guessed he had a good round and broke 75 - it felt like a low 80's round. Which is difficult; because of course he has high expectations and wants to get better but it has been coming at a price lately. But like, with the score of this video, it really comes down to him choosing to be more positive to make a better video anyway. Cause at the end of the day, he gets to share generally really good golf with us, at the best courses in the world, and the bad shots that everyone has, takes way too much focus away from the feeling of just enjoying playing golf - which is what most of us are here for

[@richardguilford7939]

Great golf Rick, just smile and be happy, you looked like you'd shot 10 over, I would have been jumping for joy with that quality 😊

[@billcarrier9622]

Very nice golf gentlemen well done. I love how Rick never stopped grinding and stayed in the fight after a few hiccups. Guy was also very scrappy in pulling off four great up and down pars on the final holes. I don't know if I will every get to play it but I really loved this beautifully maintained links course.

Something about that iron shot on hole 10, I could watch that all day. Swing is looking pure and content is great, Rick!

Love rounds like this where Rick mentally checks out after a couple of bad shots. Then pulls it together to finish with a great round. Good resilience.

Another great video RIck...Keep up the awesome work. I can't wait for your videos as they cheer me up and help with the depression. I would love to play golf some day but age is catching up. Keep going Rick and God bless

[@soldieroftheway7979]

Maybe the fact that you're looking for a yt video to "help the depression" is the reason you're depressed. Seriously that is a sad way to live life, expecting someone else to "cheer you up". And you want to play golf but age is catching up? You do know that there's 85 yr old people out there playing every single day, and some didn't start until they were 80, there's no excuse. If you're sad then get up off your couch and go out and do something about it, stop expecting other people to cheer you up that's how you got in this mess to begin with. The game of golf can literally save your life, but you have to get out and play, you have to get out and do something. It's called self-esteem, nobody can give you that that's why it's called SELF-esteem, honestly stop being a baby and go live life, get off your ass and do something that makes you proud. Whether it's smoking a drive down the fairway or walking a half-mile further than you did yesterday, you have to get out and do something. What do you think God will say at the end when you've done nothing and your excuse was "oh sorry I was depressed". You think He gave you life for that?

[@calibergolf]

[@MichaelJohnson-tx8ou]

Guy, you played great the first part. As I was watching I think I see where your paddy push may be coming from because I have had the same problem. Check it out but I think that, when you’re taking your club back, your club is actually underneath your swing plane and - because it is underneath - when you transfer to the downswing you are forced to push your hands out and away causing an over the top club path that works across the ball. I am not a pro, and not a coach and obviously you likely get a bunch of criticism in the comments but I saw that and recognized it from my own game and hopefully it can help you just get some more consistency in your strike. Keep crushing it mate. If it helps, give us a shout out in the podcast😜

[@marvindennis3664]

Rick, you had the best swing rhythm I've seen from you in a long time. Great round.

[@seanclarke4125]

Another great video, also good seeing Guy playing pretty good. If you dont mind a piece of advise , your swing looks pretty solid, have you looked at wrist position at the top of your swing, hack motion that you can use on your simulator you have, might aid , with getting some errant shots, so you can get even better. I hope this helps you.

[@garygary6729]

Guy Charnock “I’m just jogging to my next shot as the guys behind are on the tee and WE ARE NOT SLOW PLAYERS” Also Guy Charnock “Let me just talk shite for 2 minutes before EVERY SINGLE SHOT then not do what I’m talking about and make excuses Must be a nightmare playing behind them
