It's a wonderful course, was lucky enough to play it when it first opened a few yrs back I thought once it matures it would be epic, the old Tom Morris track is superb too. Fantastic locals downings Bay is wonderful!!😊
Thank you very much for a surreal day on the golf course!! It was an absolute pleasure to be on the bag!! You played some great golf and are a serious ball striker!! Best of luck in your future endeavors and hope to see you again soon!!
I do like how your job was literally to play golf there and you were talking about how you couldn't wait to retire from playing golf so you could then play golf.
71 is a fantastic round Rick, played awesome. 17 was an absolute screw job, that was one of the most brutal lip outs I’ve ever seen, the way it rounded out even looked weird. Great video, course looks great.
20:34 "you have chosen a 3 wood, may I suggest a putter?" "3 wood - now, enter the force of your swing - I suggest 'feather touch' "you have entered 'power drive!'"
I don't understand what all the hate is about? I thought you played great Mr. Shiels! I love watching your videos and this was a beautiful course. I only dream of playing golf courses like this! Thanks for doing a great job with your content and keeping it clean.
@@paulmcgee1867pointing out that someone is negative is the really negative part. Enjoy the show, the views, the shots, the commentary and stop picking on minor frustration. That's my opinion...
I know sportsmen aim for better all the time, but even a whole bunch of pro golfers would have bitten your hand off for that round!!! Remember Rick, break 75… you smashed 75 by 4…!!!! You played some amazing golf. Keep it up, really enjoying this Ireland tour so far. Oh, and not a double bogey to be seen!!!!!! 😂
Me and my buddies saw you having lunch in the clubhouse before your round, having played St Patrick’s in the morning. It is a cracking course with amazing elevation changes and incredible variety. Scenery is amazing. We also saw you at Port Rush the following day so I’m guessing that may be your next vid posted…?
LOL...as soon as you said the 3 wood chip is not a shot you have tried before should have been your trigger to select a different and more comfortable shot selection. God bless you, Mr. Shiels!
I just have to say, (from US) I’m terrified of flying… but last two videos make me want to say screw it, save up and take some time out in Ireland (and many other UK venues you’ve played) and if I inevitably shoot a 150 at everyone of them, then the plane crashes on the way home… worth it! Love these videos
Trust me, as an Irish man living in California, going home to play golf is the best. Golf is a social affair, and we don’t take ourselves too seriously. The people you meet on and off the course will make it all worthwhile. Safe travels. You can do it.
As a former professional golfer and teacher The Birdie Putt on hole 5 exemplifies where in the zone you should strive to be. With little expectation of really making it a freedom exist which then solely relies on talent and instinct. When one lets go and lets things happen golf is great. Somehow you just know what to do like you have been there before.
I’m in the US. I truly love these links courses. The recent ones on this channel amazing. Parkland courses are great, however, I enjoy the verity in the links style courses. Hard to understand complaints that a UK golfer plays on a lot of links courses.
The only complaints we have is our awful weather, other than that some of the courses we have access to over here are unbelievable. No complaints about that
I played this course a few weeks ago with my brother in law. Best course ive ever played. Scenery, condition and price point (price point is great if you're irish). Hell of a course. Also, 1st time ive seen Rick play this good in a long time, love to see it.
Thanks Rick - I love this series. I love seeing the new courses the most - I'm a big fan of golf course architecture. I also love how honest you are in showing your raw emotions. Golf does that to us. Your content is honest and unfiltered - love it.
I have been following you for almost 5 years now. Your incredible amount of skill and determination to conquer this god forsaken sport is impressive. The only thing, I believe, that has kept you from reaching your goal can be described in two words you use often: "get lucky". Hearing those words pretty much means you have pulled or hooked your shot and that has literally been your nemesis for, well, forever. Watching you play this round was so exciting because it shows that you are so close to reaching your goal. What an impressive round. I can't wait to see what happens in the future. Thank you so much for publishing your journey.
Would love to see Rick play some courses in the Pittsburgh area around next year’s US Open at Oakmont! People sleep on Western Pennsylvania golf but there are tons of great courses in the area!
@@clintonparker4141 He putted good this round, but he 3 putts a lot and misses a lot of 4 - 6 putts. If he improved there he could definitely shoot low 70s, high 60s. He's a great player otherwise.
Played this course in May and it is just next level. Just feels so special from the minute you step on the first tee. The views are spectacular and video can't do it justice! Great round Rick well played.
Great round Rick best you have been swinging it since I have been watching. A little careless near the end but you must be buzzing your game is in so much better shape than the start of the year.
I'm new to your channel. Getting back into golf after raising my daughter since my wife passed in 2011. Your channel is awesome. I'm addicted. I thank you for my new fairway woods and driver based on your recommendations. Your voice is pure ASMR! The break 75 series is amazing. I find my self genuinely disappointed if you miss par. I feel every bit of your pain. Thank you Rick for being here and for sharing this amazing content.
Rick -- great round on a fantastic golf course. 71 the first time around was fantastic. You should be very proud of yourself. Love to see your game trending in a great direction. Thanks for giving all of us the chance to experience such wonderful courses with you!!
Good to see you are REAL on your videos. When it goes wrong like the 17th, you are genuinely pissed off as all golfers would be with that lip out & frustrations with yourself cause you know what you should have done. Loving your videos. Keep up the good work. From Mark G in NZ
I come here to root for Rick and the evolution of his game. When I feel negative about his play, I go out and play a round to remember its hard enough with no one watching! Keep up the best produced content in youtube golf Rick!
In a very English way, i love one of the par 4s on a local course to me. Behind the green, over a joining wall is a church and you have the church steeple to aim at for your approach shot. The following par 3 tee area is next to the wall and there's a sign up - asking golfers to be quiet and respectful as there may be mourners over the wall in the graveyard. I always wonder. Is there a sign on the other side asking mourners to be quiet and respectful as there may be golfers teeing off on the other side of the wall......
Really enjoyed the time taken to show the scenery, breathtaking! Shane was an excellent addition too, his insight certainly helped with the overthinking. 👍
I must say, Rick. This is probably the best round of golf I've watched you play. Excellent strikes, great reads, all around fun video and you kept your cool and stayed out of your head.
If you ever make it stateside…. Check out The Wilderness at Fortune Bay, The legend at Giants Ridge and The Quarry at Giants Ridge. These courses are 50 miles apart on the Iron Range of Minnesota. Some great course you’ll enjoy.
Well played Rick boy, best you’ve played tee to green for a while! Great round of golf. Putting is my nemesis at the moment, just sold my putter as couldn’t hole a 3-4ft putt and I once was a reasonable player off of 4 many years ago. I’m hoping a change will get a bit of confidence back!
Glad you went and played St.Patrick’s Links Rick, it really is outstanding and will only get better with time. Sandy Hills is awesome too. Played well Sir, some smashing courses in Donegal with Ballyliffin up in the Inishowen peninsula, very underrated part of the world. If the weather was good you wouldn’t go anywhere else, but unfortunately it very rarely is.
I think that using the 3 wood, on an eagle attempt, was not the best choice. You could have been closer, no worse, if you just flopped one up there... Great one as always!
fantastic round Rick glad you have made time to visit the home county of Donegal/ Tir Chonail and visit one of many fabulous golf courses Keep up the great work
Rick! I’ve been watching your videos for years and I’ve watched pretty much every single one. You need you come to Michigan, USA and play some of our world class public golf courses! Keep up the good work. The content is incredible.
Great round Rick. Also loving these videos coming in at under an hour. With every channel going down the long form route now, it's harder to commit time to staying up with all the content. Great stuff.
20:47 Rick staring at his shot is all of us part-timers...just dumbfounded and slightly sad hahaha Love the channel and everything that you do Rick, heres to another 12 years!!!!!!!!!!!!
That course is awesome. That would be an amazing weekend, to fly over the pond...play those three courses...and fly back. Huge thank you Rick for sharing this one with us.
Bottle up that swing for future use, Rick! Amazing tee to green game and scared the hole more than not on the greens. Glad to see your hard work paying off!
Great to see another of Tom Doak's creations - those wide fairways are a favourite illusion of his as quite often if you're on the wrong side of the fairway the approach to the pin is very difficult. Love the blow out bunkers and the extreme undulations of the greens - so reminiscent of Tom's Tasmanian course Barnbougle Dunes (even more spectacular).
Well played Mr Rick! Think you said early under break 75, well you really did a great job! Congrats to you & Shane too! Shane, I'm sending greetings from York County, Pennsylvania!
Loved this ❤ Rick played some serious golf. St. Patrick’s is an amazing course and absolutely beautiful. Next time you have to play Sandy Hills and Old Tom. Really showing off the beauty that is Donegal
Great round Rick, been following you for many years. Nice to see you play some amazing courses, I recently tore my ACL and struggle to walk 18 especially pushing my buggy around so it's nice to live vicariously through you until I can afford a electric push cart
I love watching these videos where you play the entire course it’s so awesome Rick. Thank you so much for your dedication to the game. I don’t play anymore, but I have a new set of pings sitting in my spare bedroom. I don’t know why anyone who has ever played the game would say anything inappropriate. It is a great game and it is a tough game to master. I think that jealousy comes in to play here for these people. Thanks for all your great videos, brother. God bless you.
Thanks for the video, Rick. Really fun to watch. I really enjoyed seeing the pages from the yardage book on your tee shot. Hope to keep seeing this on your videos.
I love watching all of your videos Rick and this one is the best one yet! Absolutely beautiful golf course. I love how you always enjoy the entire course not just the game.
Wow!! What a Course!! Just stunning! It really does make a difference watching these videos when you get Mr Shiels playing really good golf!! Well played Sir!! That’s the kinda golf we all wanna see!!
Great round,Rick! You are playing very well I think the Open qualifying got you in great shape. I love that hat! Where can I get one? Come to Lubbock, Texas and play the Rawls Course at Texas Tech University. It’s a Tom Doak master piece!
Really enjoyable video and brilliant course. And the new graphics at the start of every hole showing the whole hole is a really good addition hope you stick with it 👌
That’s the best I’ve seen you off the tee Rick. Minus 2 or 3 pulled. The driver and long iron shots were brilliant. Some great putting too. Unlucky on the last couple. Been looking forward to seeing the Ireland vids since you mentioned on podcast few weeks ago. Incredible track this one!
I played there last year, 3 putted the first 5 greens until I got used to how slow they were. Fantastic course and gorgeous empty beaches. Sandy Hills next door is a heart breaker but also very scenic.
lol a year ago if you shot a 71 even par round you would have been over the moon. Games come a long way in a year. Honestly those misses like on 16 and 17, even the miss on 14 that would have led to the “undeserved” birdie, they make you so relatable. Those are the strokes we all give up and the ones your pros make. Your channel is still the absolute best and the only one that is a must watch for on a weekly basis. Keep up the great work!
Played a few courses a little further round the coast but will definitely be visiting Rosapena next time I'm over there. Dunfanaghy is good and where Paul McGinlay started, a real little gem is Cruit island!
Fantastic course; every hole is interesting. I can't believe it's new! Well played too, @RickShielsPGA - some of the best golf I've seen you play. You really should get a caddy every round!
Absolutely loved this! Well played Rick! When that driver works, makes the round easier and I believe you will smash break 75 when driver is in play! Awesome golf.
what a fantastic looking course and very well played Rick, looked up how much it was to play all 3 of the courses on the complex and it looks like it would have to be a bucket list golf trip £££ not surprising given how stunning the place is
THANK YOU for the wonderful comments! I really apprentice the kind word 🙌
For anyone that feels they need to leave a nasty comment, please don’t bother. It’s not helpful or appreciated at all.
Great personality, and lots of work done for charity throughout your career. You should be very proud of yourself.
Great golf rick!
We know what you mean, but a quick edit wouldn't go amiss ;)
It's a wonderful course, was lucky enough to play it when it first opened a few yrs back I thought once it matures it would be epic, the old Tom Morris track is superb too. Fantastic locals downings Bay is wonderful!!😊
Thank you very much for a surreal day on the golf course!! It was an absolute pleasure to be on the bag!! You played some great golf and are a serious ball striker!! Best of luck in your future endeavors and hope to see you again soon!!
You're American? What made you go there? I guess with a name like Shane there must be a reason.
Great to see another Yinzer out in the wild!! Great job on the Bag!
I remember seeing you in one of the RGC videos because of your Cal U shirt. Great to see that you're there full time now!
I do like how your job was literally to play golf there and you were talking about how you couldn't wait to retire from playing golf so you could then play golf.
71 is a fantastic round Rick, played awesome. 17 was an absolute screw job, that was one of the most brutal lip outs I’ve ever seen, the way it rounded out even looked weird. Great video, course looks great.
I played this last Friday and lipped out putts on each of the 1st 4 holes. Obviously, I wasn't thrilled. But yeah, I know just what that feels like.
20:34
"you have chosen a 3 wood, may I suggest a putter?"
"3 wood - now, enter the force of your swing - I suggest 'feather touch'
"you have entered 'power drive!'"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lee Carvallos Putting challenge :-)
So annoying he would rather putt with a 3-wood than use a wedge 🤦♂️
“Would you like to play again?”
“You have selected no.”
Ball has entered….parking lot
I don't understand what all the hate is about? I thought you played great Mr. Shiels! I love watching your videos and this was a beautiful course. I only dream of playing golf courses like this! Thanks for doing a great job with your content and keeping it clean.
He’s often quite negative, is that it?
@@paulmcgee1867not negative. Frustrated after bad shots, but that's completely normal. Some people just like to be mean judges on RUclips.

Oh, and not a double bogey to be seen!!!!!! 😂
They wouldn’t tho
@@ryanmccloskey9602you would though
Some seriously good golf there, says something when you are disappointed with level par! Golf is trending on this trip 👏
Way to GO SHANE!!! 🙌🏻
Representing THE BLACK AND GOLD OF PITTSBURGH!!! Enjoy this AMAZING JOURNEY AND CHAPTERS IN THIS THING CALLED LIFE!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Yinz up ‘ehr golfin’ n’at?
Me and my buddies saw you having lunch in the clubhouse before your round, having played St Patrick’s in the morning. It is a cracking course with amazing elevation changes and incredible variety. Scenery is amazing.
We also saw you at Port Rush the following day so I’m guessing that may be your next vid posted…?
Do you just have a perfect life?
@@captaindein33😂
He seen him in agusta the day after that
@captaindein33
LOL...as soon as you said the 3 wood chip is not a shot you have tried before should have been your trigger to select a different and more comfortable shot selection. God bless you, Mr. Shiels!
Shane was a fantastic caddie. Really loved his advice to you and how he was quick to replace your divots. 71 is a fine score. Good Job Rick!

Love the graphics on the tee box showing the layout of the hole. Gives the viewer a much better visual of what you are aiming at.

Price point is great it’s over 250 euros 😮
@michaeltribe6237 250 for a non Irish citizen. 80 euro for an Irish citizen. That's why I said a good price point for some lol

The amount of relief when you didn’t 3 put the last 😂 well played. Lovely looking course
Beautiful course! Rick's putting and chipping kills me. I think it costs him 3 or 4 strokes a round. He's a great driver and iron player.
His putting is good, chipping is dreadful especially after now a year ago having a lesson from the best chipping coach
@@clintonparker4141 He putted good this round, but he 3 putts a lot and misses a lot of 4 - 6 putts. If he improved there he could definitely shoot low 70s, high 60s. He's a great player otherwise.
Love the caddies in the vid
St Patrick’s in Co Donegal, Ireland 🇮🇪
Please don’t tell everybody ! We want to keep the secret a secret. Enjoyed your video as usual.
You just did!
Played this course in May and it is just next level. Just feels so special from the minute you step on the first tee. The views are spectacular and video can't do it justice! Great round Rick well played.
Great round Rick best you have been swinging it since I have been watching. A little careless near the end but you must be buzzing your game is in so much better shape than the start of the year.
This was filmed before the lesson with Dan
@@RickShielsPGA had some really great drives here tho! even that one handed end on the last hole was wicked
Rick im going to watch the back nine first, then the front nine. That way you finish well and fought back after a crappy start. Well done!!
Actually, great round! One bloody hole
Hey he got a Yinzer on the bag! Woo Hoo!

What a way to start the day...to see a fellow Pittsburgher on the bag for Rick!
A great round Rick, just a few small errors and not really taking advantage of the Par 5s. It's not often you'll be gutted with 71. Well done!

The rick we love: miss 1 footer for birdie, easily sink 50 feet puts :D:D

These Caddies are amazing
Looks like a beautiful course Rick. Well played
fantastic round Rick glad you have made time to visit the home county of Donegal/ Tir Chonail and visit one of many fabulous golf courses Keep up the great work
Rick! I’ve been watching your videos for years and I’ve watched pretty much every single one. You need you come to Michigan, USA and play some of our world class public golf courses! Keep up the good work. The content is incredible.
Great round Rick. Also loving these videos coming in at under an hour. With every channel going down the long form route now, it's harder to commit time to staying up with all the content. Great stuff.
So good to see you enjoying the round Rick. Some stellar golf, a great attitude and an awesome video. Keep it up that man!
Great to see you play ireland courses Rick and also to see your golf game trending. Really enjoy your content and it's variety.
Great to see you playing well and enjoying your golf in a fantastic location!
Love your videos keep it up ⛳👌 some good golf

That course is awesome. That would be an amazing weekend, to fly over the pond...play those three courses...and fly back. Huge thank you Rick for sharing this one with us.
Bottle up that swing for future use, Rick! Amazing tee to green game and scared the hole more than not on the greens. Glad to see your hard work paying off!
This golf course is a gem!! and Rick don’t let any negative comments get to you. Your content lately has been so 🔥🔥!!⛳️
I remember my first ever 3 wood chip/bump and run.
Exact same thing happened. So much hotter than you expect
Great to see another of Tom Doak's creations - those wide fairways are a favourite illusion of his as quite often if you're on the wrong side of the fairway the approach to the pin is very difficult.

Loved this ❤ Rick played some serious golf. St. Patrick’s is an amazing course and absolutely beautiful. Next time you have to play Sandy Hills and Old Tom. Really showing off the beauty that is Donegal
Great round Rick, been following you for many years. Nice to see you play some amazing courses, I recently tore my ACL and struggle to walk 18 especially pushing my buggy around so it's nice to live vicariously through you until I can afford a electric push cart
Absolutely amazing, stunning golf course. Amazing video, congrates to the whole team and caddy Shane. Well deserved round👏👏👏👏👏👏
That long putt on the 5th with the drone shoot was so so good! love it!
Really good round Rick! You've hit some good form lately
Great golf! What an awesome caddy 🙌
I'm through 7 Rick and your swing is so on tempo, its a thing or beauty! That's the RS we know & love, Let's GO!
Wonderful golf course. Stayed and played all three courses at Rosapenna last June. I can't imagine a more beautiful setting for golf!
Great course, and great play from Rick. The happiness of being at Rosapenna shone through into your game. Enjoy golf and you will play well
I love watching these videos where you play the entire course it’s so awesome Rick. Thank you so much for your dedication to the game. I don’t play anymore, but I have a new set of pings sitting in my spare bedroom. I don’t know why anyone who has ever played the game would say anything inappropriate. It is a great game and it is a tough game to master. I think that jealousy comes in to play here for these people. Thanks for all your great videos, brother. God bless you.
Hey, and when you’re done with your golf, you can grab your longboard and go surfing. Those look like some great long boarding waves out there.😂
Thanks for the video, Rick. Really fun to watch. I really enjoyed seeing the pages from the yardage book on your tee shot. Hope to keep seeing this on your videos.
Pittsburgh in the house!
I love watching all of your videos Rick and this one is the best one yet! Absolutely beautiful golf course. I love how you always enjoy the entire course not just the game.

Really enjoyable video and brilliant course. And the new graphics at the start of every hole showing the whole hole is a really good addition hope you stick with it 👌

Such an amazing round of golf, a few three puts, we all get them. Thanks Rick for another insight to some of the nicest golf courses across Ireland.
Great video,great weather,great course. Views are unbelievable.
Beautiful golf course. Enjoyed watching Rick play a great round of golf.
Thanks for sharing the round with us Rick. I really enjoyed the episode.
Played a few courses a little further round the coast but will definitely be visiting Rosapena next time I'm over there. Dunfanaghy is good and where Paul McGinlay started, a real little gem is Cruit island!
Fantastic course; every hole is interesting. I can't believe it's new! Well played too, @RickShielsPGA - some of the best golf I've seen you play. You really should get a caddy every round!
Absolutely loved this! Well played Rick! When that driver works, makes the round easier and I believe you will smash break 75 when driver is in play! Awesome golf.
Best golf I've seen Rick play. That bogey on the par 3 at the end will haunt him forever! 😂
Love it! Played in may definitely need a caddy though as my gps was all over the place, yes that was was my excuse 😅
Great content. Great ball striking. Great venue. Thanks Rick.
That hole 5 birdie putt was the stuff legends are made of. A trip out there to play those 3 courses would be a dream come true
what a fantastic looking course and very well played Rick, looked up how much it was to play all 3 of the courses on the complex and it looks like it would have to be a bucket list golf trip £££ not surprising given how stunning the place is
