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.

[@Girth.Brooks11]

[@andrewmercier7991]

Hey Rick, watching your videos helped me rebuild my game after breaking my neck in a motorcycle accident. Thanks for being funny and a capable teacher. I got my first birdie after my accident because of your 7 iron chipping advice. Rolled it from about 20 yds.

[@jamesscully6687]

Learning that I can still play and hit balls about 200-220 despite being classified as disabled had been such a big lift for my spirit. Take joy in the little things like getting a good bounce and making a nice recovery had changed my game.

[@cobras35]

You should try imagining it. I imagine David Feherty doing on course commentary like he did in the Tiger Woods game when I am playing. It helps me focus in on every shot. I bet Imaginary Rick would do the same.

[@leomartino8783]

Lets be honest. Rick topping his 3 wood makes this more relatable to how we manage the course

Truth.

Hey Rick, I had my first five golf clubs when I was about five years old, played a little in junior high and high school then gave the game up for a variety of reasons. Now at 60 I’m joining a local CC. For the first time in my life I’ve purchased a set of clubs tailored to my age, size, strength etc. Landed on the Ping 425’s with steel shafts. That said, I have been perusing the Internet for instruction and find myself enjoying your channel above all others. Your no-nonsense, positive style, always with a smile on your face, keeps me coming back for more. I believe your goal is to sincerely help those of us out there from beginner to seasoned scratch golfer. Thank you for that! Keep up the good work!

[@murphywalton6723]

I'm late to the party, but I wish there were more content like this available on course management and shot strategy. Over time I've improved my physical skill, but when I starting finding content like this my scores lowered by just making better mental decisions. Thanks for the content!

[@DamonRun]

Loving everything about your style, honesty and information. thank you, keep up the great work.

[@bensnyder245]

I really like these kind of videos, Rick. This is exactly what I’m doing with my 15 yr old son. I’m having him talk through his round, telling me the risk/reward with each shot. Having him tell me WHY he is choosing that club or that shot. Being 15 lack of concentration is an issue. It has helped him tremendously and he’s starting to consistently score in the mid 70’s. Keep up the great work! We love watching.

Hey Rick! I absolutely love your thought processes and golf course walkthroughs. If I may make a suggestion, it would be super helpful if you could find map of the specific hole, and perhaps add it to beginning of when you're approaching a new hole, so we can visualize in our heads what you're talking us through. Enjoying the videos so far :)

You should buy some water proof gloves then. Mainly for keeping grip when it rains but sounds like it will work here

Just make sure you have a towel to wipe off your arms and hands before hitting

Get you some FootJoy RainGrip gloves. The wetter they get, the more grip they have. I sweat A LOT, and those gloves are incredible. I used to change gloves at least twice during a round. Now I never have to take them off.

[@blackstealth2]

How I Play Golf: Have an extra ball in your pocket. A few tees, your ball marker, and your divot tool. That way you won’t have to run like an idiot back to your golf cart and get things.Cell phone, wallet and keys IN THE GOLF BAG! Always position the cart or your golf bag/pull cart adjacent or forward of where you tee off/your shot. NEVER WALK/RUN BACKWARDS! Point of golf is to go forwards. Group behind you are gonna think you don’t know what your doing and look stupid! Always be aware of where the wind is going. Emphasize your pre-shot routine. Before your shot take a deep breath and as you set up exhale. Loosens you up. Play at a reasonable pace. On your approach shot if you miss the green take your wedge AND PUTTER! Repair divot mark closest to your ball on the green. Lay your wedges on top of laid flag sticks or the frindge of the green on the direction of your golf cart or golf bag, that way you won’t forget it. If you keep bumping into a slow playing playing group in front you, after the third time asked them politely if you can play through or if it’s another single/double ask if you can join them. Take your own water/beer. Enjoy the game! Have fun!

[@aarroyo87]

It's like the 10 commandments of golf.

[@ExbotHero]

Sounds a bit anal to me to have so much commitment and negative feelings (That´s what I read between the lines from some of your "rules"). The ending however is perfect (not that I disagree with most of the other stuff, just don´t care about most of the things that clearly eating you every time you meet that stuff.) The ending: "Enjoy the game! Have fun!" Perfect. Let's settle for that, regardless of the other stuff is perfect or not, okay?! 👍😊
