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.

Agreed but it should be called break 80

[@PetSKi67]

There are so many break 80’s series out and advice on how to break 80 on the magazines, that I think the title is serving its purpose as is. The Bryan Bros, George by the way had a course vlog by the title break 60 and lost one ball, but still made 66.

You inspired me to pick up golfing and I've been slowly learning this brutal game this past year on short holes with my grandfather who played most of his life. And I want to thank you for being the catalyst that started this with your amazing, and grounded videos, which in turn made me want to do this, and get these incredible moments I otherwise wouldn't have had with him while golfing.

Love your content Rick regardless of the highs or lows. You left loads of putts out there today. Your brilliant content has helped me break 90 on a few courses after a couple of years of playing you’ve been instrumental to my success and love for the game, you and Guy are amazing , keep doing what you’re doing.

As a new golfer your series have taught me a lot on how to play golf. The break 75 series has really taught me about golf…..That no matter how good or how long you play you will have bad holes or bad days no matter what. So just keep working at it. Thanks for a great series Rick and Guy

[@zenbood]

I like the new in-video graphics. It’s easier to tell which shot you are on, and what your score is after each hole.

[@dylanauker4031]

Rick! I am a golfer who usually shoots in the high 80’s, low 90’s on tough courses. I recently had a major knee surgery, and am having a second surgery on the same knee in 2 weeks. You have inspired me to get my golf game dialed in when I return! My goal is to break 80 for the first time! The way you have attacked your game to try and get better has been awesome to watch! Cheers from across the pond.

[@bobborth8378]

Thank you so much, Rick, for this great video. I visited Silloth on Solveig Golf Club just 2 months ago, the first golf course I played twice on my first golf trip to the UK. I enjoyed every of these 36 holes on a perfectly maintained course so much, especially the incredible, "Postage Stamp"-like Par 3 ninth hole and the really tricky Par 5s thirteenth and fourteenth. Highly recommended course, at a reasonable green fee rate. Thank you for giving me this kind-of vacation movie and a great thank you to the highly welcoming and friendly crew at Silloth on Solveig Golf Club. I will come back some day.

[@scottthomas6937]

Keep going Rick. This is the BEST of the series by far. Your struggles will pass but in the short term they are adding a lot of confidence to my perspective. Thanks!

[@TimSuttonGolf]

I love the hole preview flybys - so cool seeing more of the amazing location than you would from just the normal ground view. More please Rick!

[@alistermcnicoll2634]

Thoroughly enjoy these. Really good chat between them!

[@chrispearce9224]

Rick, your channel has given me the inspiration to really work on my game after 20 years of just a round or two per year. Now I'm playing 3-4 times a month and at the range 3 times a week. I am so happy I stumbled across you and the lads a few years ago. All you legends really showed how the game of golf is meant to be enjoyed.

[@andresbocaletti4562]

Have to say, I was not a golf watcher. However, since I started following the break 75 series, I find myself always rooting for Rick’s every shot. Love your energy and am grateful for all I’ve learned from you!

[@PFI1957]

Great content in this episode. Rick’s putting really let him down and the pressure to go for shots as he needed to pick up ground later in the round creates greater probability for higher scores on the latter holes. Can’t wait for Rick to put it all together!

[@zynnertime]

Thank you for keeping in all of the raw footage on the second shot on #13-watching Rick work through the progression of decision making, the wager with the course pro, changing clubs… it was golden content, hilariously relatable, and then a solid result of a shot. 👨🏻‍🍳💋👌🏻

Thanks for finally coming to Silloth. It's my home course, and I feel I've learned a lot from your video today. I've realised that my 5.3 index around there is actually pretty good, and that I'm capable of going better. Great to see the club getting recognised for the course it is, and you're absolutely right, in the summer it's incredible. Oh by the way, that was a very calm day by our standards too! 🤣

[@MichaelTx254]

Love the positivity that you are expressing during this round of golf. The low shots you were trying are effective on windy days but you need to believe in the shots. Going into the wind with more club is great with the low shots but make sure you're still staying committed and don't decelerate. This is why you kept on coming up short on the shots. Otherwise, you are playing better and your attitude will get you to where you can hit them scoring shots more often. Now I just wish that I could play this course. Absolutely a beautiful course for December and playing it in the summer would be a dream if it's not 100+ outside. See you next time Rick.

[@TML34]

I love how Rick was trying to act calm, cool and collected, but you could see the steam building inside. And when things go sideways on the back 9 the old club toss into the bag rears it’s ugly head. 😂

Love these videos. Just played on 11/30/23 in Idaho. Starting temp was 25°F at noon. Never got above 30°F during my round. Greens were concrete, watched a ball bounce 15 feet in the air from a 150 yd wedge

[@phild3892]

Rick is like the one friend you play with that when he’s playing bad no one else can have fun. You’re doing your best to ALWAYS bring them up during the round and they continue to make bad decisions. Driver off the deck then throws club against bag after the next shot. Poor guy always looks like he’s walking on egg shells and can never just enjoy the round

[@coopdivi]

I really don't know how you can post this. I'm not a Rick fanboi but I appreciate he shows the bad with the good. Not only does he video his golf games, he has to make them entertaining and relatable as well or no-one will watch them. As for throwing his club against his bag, I don't think there's a golfer alive who hasn't felt like that at one time or another. The only difference is, he has a couple of million people watch him do it.

[@allanmerrill9427]

Always nice to see a golf course you have played yourself and you have a special memory of. I was privileged to have seen one of the best rounds of golf ever whilst playing with PGA professional Simon Edwards in a Northern PGA Pro-Am event a number of years ago. He shot an amazing gross 60, twelve under par. Admittedly there was little on the day we played but it still was the finest round of golf I have witnessed, keep up with your excellent videos.

Rick, when it rains it pours. Golf is such a hard game, but so enjoyable. All it takes is one bad shot to ruin your round or one good shot to make you eager to come back. That's golf, the most frustrating and difficult game of all. This is why so many of us love it. Cheers

Rick, love the content as always. Have you considered trying a break 75 with more forgiving irons? Something like a P770 or T100? If nothing else, it would be a great video to see you play a full round with clubs like that and see how it impacts your ability to make shots, recover from bad lies, and some of the less than ideal strikes. Always have loved your club review videos, but thought it would be great to see you play a full round with those clubs.

This is a great series. Setting a goal for breaking 75 comes down to skill set, course management and course conditions. Obviously, you have the proper skill set as one who follows your channel can see. This is a beautiful, links style course. But the day of play was brutal as is often the case in winter golf. You did well on the front nine, but it looked like you were pressing a bit on the back nine. A day of better conditions may yield the goal you set for yourself. Thanks for your videos, both entertaining and informative for those of us who are recreational golfers.

Played Silloth earlier in the year and can honestly say it’s my favourite golf club ever.

Tom was in the shop when I arrived and he was sound as! Didn’t help that I played it just after a 4 hour drive as I had the shanks for the front 9 and it took me 9 holes to make a par (I play off 2 😂😂) but the place is absolutely amazing.. the greenkeepers do a fabulous job!
