Rick - 0 … Barber - 1 Rickie is used to halving holes, his barber is apparently used to halving beards

[@ncraft6]

Also, I am surprised Rick has held onto the Cobra Dark Speed... ever since speed training with Bryson he has focused so much on club speed and pure distance but he has given up SO much accuracy as a result. Bring back the PING G425 it served so much better for his tee shots.

[@connormcgarry7009]

i agree, add speed with the same driver instead of cheating speed with a faster driver

[@Lovetheducks]

You are wrong. It doesn’t matter what he hits. He’s become so obsessed with hitting a horrible hook.

[@tonyostrowski3533]

First hole and two big observations. Guy's shoe game is on point, and Rick whoever did that to your beard DO NOT GO BACK!😮

[@Erictheking66]

Speith didn't hit it onto the driving range on 13. He hit it up the dunes and took an unplayable back in line with the point his ball was, which took him onto the range. He then got relief from the tour trucks and hit a belta back over. I heard from a member that the practice ground is now out of bounds. If it happened again it would be back to the tee or 2 club lengths, back in line would still be in the rough.

[@samlee6749]

Well said. I did wonder why they made changes to that hole but if the range is now OoB it makes sense.

[@HCPSlayer]

I just LOVE watching scamble! Even if you didnt play your best it looked like you had way more fun than grinding on your own through the wind and not easy conditions. I grew up never really playing such formats but its such a fun way of playing. Would love to see more of it, maybe even a four scramble with Iona and James Robinson :)

[@16bradhall]

One of the reasons why I love golf is a enjoy the grind of trying to get better, even if that means having a bad day of hitting, putting, whatever. Which is also why I like watching your content for the break 75’s. Not to put you all down at all, but it reminds me that not everyone is like Rory or Scotty. And even during scrambles, golf is just hard. Regardless of whether you break 75 or have a hard time breaking 80, I look forward to your content every week. Don’t listen to those keyboard crusaders who have negative things to say.

[@thewaygokid3135]

Kudo’s for talking about the course, past history, and champions. It really adds colour for many of us who will never play there. Cheers!

[@MRbjr8]

I like the video w/o music, who wants music when you are playing? The music is the club hitting the ball and going in the cup!

[@Eat-MyGoal]

Rick ever-so-slightly resents when Guy hits good shots or bags a birdie. There's just a hint of jealousy in his tone of voice and fixed, over-prolonged smile. 🤣

[@jackcalder2937]

Ha ha spot on!

[@chr970]

Possibly, and I like both lads. But I sometimes feel like Guy just passively rubs in in sometimes… actually both do.

[@jasonstewart9919]

and I'll say this - Guy actually has a way higher ceiling than Rick if he ever took himself and his golf just a little more seriously. Much better mechanics to his swing in general and his short game is light years better.

[@robletchuk]

Rick's beard looks like a bog brush.

[@alexanderbryce1467]

I’m gonna rank that shave a solid +51 over par. Also really questioning Rick’s sense of judgement leaving the barber in that state… Also, note to the editor: whenever the final edit feels good, go back and cut 50% of the screen time/audio from Guy and you have a good product.

no - that is clearly Guy's divot he walked to and brought back after he hit to replace after rick hits. you can see him walking towards it after he hits, and the divot up ahead is gone when rick is about to hit. you can also see rick replace it right after he hits. 🕵‍♂

​@@jamestombs5567Pete isn't that great.

[@sandersson2813]

@@jamestombs5567 First of all Rick is under no delusion about the state of his game and makes no claim on being better than Pete, Pete, at least for the purpose of his channel and his narcissistic output and preposterous Quest for the Open, certainly is deluded (at least outwardly (but probably not inwardly, as he can't be that conceited and naive) Pete is probably around Scratch or +1 and you'll see far better golfers than him at every club up and down the UK, which is frankly embarrassing considering they mostly have full time jobs, have little time to practice whilst Pete spends all day making videos of himself playing golf. He's clearly a reasonable standard, but so what, so are thousands of guys. Neither of them are that great. PS, Rick shot lower than Pete in Open Qualifying.

[@sandersson2813]

@@jamestombs5567 I don't see that at all. Rick is pretty honest that he's not a very special golfer, for example he distinctly said he only entered Open qualifying to see where his game is at and not to get through to final qualifying. He's also done videos of handing in three cards to see what his official handicap is, and it came out at 2 if I recall correctly. On the contrary, Pete is self indulgent and he seems to put on a front that he's some sort of "top golfer" capable of qualifying for the Open despite repeated abysmal attempts. Personally, I see better golfers than both every single weekend and I also agree there is far too much brown nosing of both Pete and Rick online.

[@davidmarshall6409]

All true however Pete had a good amateur record including winning the English Amateur Championship. You don’t watch either of these guys for top level play though. Bryson has a channel for that.

That beard is simply a metaphor for Ricks "way too steep from the inside club path with an open to shut club-face leading to pull hooks or block fades...."

[@Makkaer1111]

Rick why are you playing the 2nd shot on the 5th hole in Guy's Divot? You get at least like 6inches from where he hit the ball. Some golf clubs let you play within a club length of the chosen shot. Either way, you don't have to play in his divot.

[@ncraft6]

I could have sworn the title of this video included (We go LOW) but when does it start? Even through 6... Came to the comments to see what was cooking here but now that you mention the beared I cant unsee it. Thanks a lot guys.

The new holes look really good. I do remember that the two par3s on the back nine (12 & 14) were quite similar looking, but the old 5th was an adventure. All the new holes opened well in advance to mature before the Open in 2 years time. As ever your games are fun to watch and I think this was a tighter edit and didn't take up too much time watching.
