I came here to see if you commented on Scharf’s hole in one. I’m glad you had a take on it and it was a comical one. It is unreal that he is the one on good good that keeps getting the hole in ones. With all those good golfers you would think garrette, kwon, or Brad would be draining them. Kwon did have a hole in one on the par 3 course so we can’t discredit that but it is still unbelievable what Scharf has done.
Surely the main reason for Viktor Hovland and Jon Rahm not being involved in TGL is that (although based in the US, but in Oklahoma and Arizona respectively) and so therefore approximately 1400 and 2800 miles from where the event every Monday in Clearwater, Florida will be held! It's like asking a UK based golfer to travel every week to Egypt or Turkey and back just to hit some balls into a screen for couple of hours.
Every public golf course I know has a putting green and chipping area. They are open to the public at no cost as a way to invite people into the facility. The more you practice the better you play and the better you like golf. So maybe you pay to play the course there. Maybe after a long practice session you buy a cold drink. Maybe your practice session includes buying a bucket of balls for the range. The free putting/chipping area is a loss leader to generate foot traffic at their facility. No problem, no wrong in using the free facilities. A private club is different in that only members are allowed to use the facilities. So using the "members only" amenities when not a member, guest or patron (business meeting, etc) is wrong.
Hi Rick & guy, you may not see this but I wanted to say Thankyou because this show has really helped me in past year I am not a clubhouse member but I listen everyweek still and have done for the past year, I am in the army and soon to be discharged due to mental health problems and on my journey podcasts have helped so much most definitely this one, seeing how much you have grown over the years is inspirational, as I am at a minor set back in my career seeing you growth shows anything is possible, learning tips along the way from your channel, building my golf bag from your reviews, cobra speed-zone driver in bag to, going from not playing golf at all then seeing you vids making me want to play and then going for a round with my mates and turning it into my own little therapy session having a walk with mates and talking, but picking up the clubs has massively helped and listening and watching your content also has to but Thank you again and keep up the good work Aaron P.s I can’t find a bluey anywhere I need one in my bag 😂
I Love the channel and i dont miss any podcast! I hope you guys are as critical with TGL that you were with LIV. Teams concept, tons of cash involved, teans ownership, entertainment golf, etc. Just saying 🤨
A fantastic Podcast that talks about everything golf, personal items, golf courses, golfers, golf experiences/stories, surprises. Just love all your formats; On course lessons, Break 75, H.I.T, Games with Pros, Challenges and of course the Podcast. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Living in America, for a fully private golf course/country club, I would never just show up to use their facility to practice if I wasn’t with a member or trying the club out officially. Municipal course or public course, I would use the facility without having a tee time.
In the U.S., if it is a public course it is totally allowed. It's akin to the giant superstore giving out food samples for free to entice customers to buy the products. Yes a few will abuse it, but the stats show how many will actually buy once they've tried the sample. Golf courses know a golfer will probably never putt or chip on their greens and never play at the course. Also, pencils are free here. :)
You guys are really so silly it is hilarious listening to you. Good luck to Matt to his new position. Looking forward to changes but I hope you never change having a genuine laugh and a giggle.
Here in the U.S., it's completely acceptable to use the practice facilities (i.e; putting greens and short game areas) of public golf courses. DO NOT attempt it at a private golf club though (they have posted signage indicating for "Members Only" at the entrances). I work and have worked at several golf courses, and the public courses view these as viable and potential customers. I'd say 95% of those using the "free" practice facilities are also buying usage of the driving range and eventual rounds of golf... so we welcome them to use our putting green and practice areas, as long as they show respect and honor golf etiquette.
Great Podcast Rick! re turning up unannounced at a private membership course and using the putting and chipping facilities, it's not thieving, it's trespassing!! Personally I don't pay my membership to then have any Tom, Dick or Harry pitch up (pun intended) and use what we pay a premium for. Suggest you ask, you might be allowed or you may be turned away at the clubs discretion however at least you have had the decency to ask.
The TGL thing is more extreme than LIV. I'm a big fan of Rory and Tiger, but is it possible that they were so against LIV because they had invested so much in TGL? It seems a bit like a "throwing their toys out of the pram" situation. Although, I am intrigued to see how it goes.
It’s possible that LIV is just ticked that someone else has a better product that will reach a bigger audience, without the conflict and acrimony of the PGATour vs LIV soap opera… plus, Phil has yet another opportunity for Tiger to get the better of him, and history has shown it’s a bad idea to bet on Phil over Tiger.
My opinion is TGL is just a stepping stone to test a concept with high profile names. If it works they will try to license it out or try to sell it to a company like Top Golf to expand their profile to attract more serious golfers who want more of a real golf feel and play big name courses around the world. Only time will tell.
5star plus have been following Rick before the beard came along. Rick takes time to give you the full range of his experience with golf club reviews and as a top Professional insight into the greatest game in the world.
I spent tons of hours practicing at a local course on their putting green. Never even heard of being charged to use a public course putting, chipping or practice bunker here in the US
I think we need to consider what Jon Rahm is saying about the new schedule requirements for the Tour. He has to play in 20 tournaments in addition to the majors, and still play at least 4 times in Europe to qualify for Ryder Cup. This is just too much golf with TGL added.
Your a full on bloody Crim Rick Shiels I had so much respect for you well that's out the window now. Your the reason pens I buy never last a page of writing. Will never watch another video from you or has you in it. Except if my kids put it on or YT recommend it or I need to watch top reviews and great golf content.
Hi Both, Im a Golf Operations manager in Wales and i dont mind others using the putting green and chipping green without them buying anything or getting a green fee. You often find them pop in and ask if they are allowed to use it so thats a sign that other clubs dont allow it
Here's a question I'd like you to talk about? Where do you stand on golf courses charging the same rate for winter golf with temp tees and temp greens?
Good podcast guys. I do live in the US and I don't have issues using the putting and chipping areas of courses I play regularly. If I don't play there regularly, I do feel a bit guilty. It does feel a bit like I am stealing even though most of the time they could care less.
Came here to say the same. And I'll go further to say that if a course I frequent told me I couldn't use the practice areas on days I don't have a tee time, they'd be seeing me a lot less.
Matt Scharff's hole-in-one from 360yds is realistically the greatest golf shot on camera in history. Furthest hole-out on the PGA tour is 332 yards, the fact the Matt Scharff made it 28 yards further than that.
@@steveputland4324well, Brad was surprised by a drive Matt hit a few weeks ago. Matt is really athletic but back problems has hampered him. On an earlier episode with Bryson they did some speed checks and I think Matt hit 190mph in ball speed. That kind of speed would allow for that amount of length under the right conditions.
@@thomasblock1164 My point is, if it’s a once in a blue moon for Matt to even reach the green, then what are the odds of it going in the hole ? Personally I see Matt break down at every corner on video & my own critical thinking skills say bullshit !
So not only did he finally hit it that far, but it went in the hole ! 🤣 Yeah right , It’s easier to fool someone than it is to convince them they’ve been fooled !
@steveputland4324 I never gonna call out skepticism. We need more of it. People do win billion dollar lotteries, though...or do they? Have a great holiday season!
I love the RS golf show, the only dislike I have, I found myself looking for sausage rolls at my local golf courses, maybe you started something, they always sold out!! Ah all jokes aside, I love your reviews, and you inspire me to get below 10 handicap, they way your game has improved Rick. My son is 10 years old this month, and a really good junior golfer, and we love your shows guys!!
If one of my local courses told me I couldn't chip and putt because I don't have a greens fee that day, they'd be recieving a lot less greens fees from me.
Great podcast Rick and guy are great great hosts cover the golf subjects that people want to hear I always look forward each week for the podcast 10 out 10
I'd like to say on behalf of all the RS fans, you're most welcome Rick; thanks for finally giving some praise to all the hard workin fans who make this whole damn thing possible. 😅😂 JK thank YOU buddy! You've earned it ❤
“The damage is already done” sure doesn’t give those with cancer any hope. People defy the odds all the time and the body is amazing at repairing itself when treated properly. People like me at least hope so
Rick you should become a UK team owner/team manager and run it like a Ted lasso series where we get to see the ins and outs of the TGL with some added Ricky flare 😂
Do you not see the hypocrisy by those PGA/TGL players that speak out against LIV with comments such as "it's not real golf", "54 holes is not a tournament", "teams are distracting /bad idea"? Combine that with "no LIV players welcome" and hitting into screens, etc. I'm fine with TGL and LIV and PGA, etc. I'll watch what I alike and if I don't care for it, I won't watch it. I enjoy LIV a lot. Maybe I will enjoy TGL just as much. I will say PGA is less enjoyable to watch now that I've seen LIV. PGA is trying to enhance their offering and the broadcasts are picking up their graphic game almost positively due to LIV's graphics but there is a way to go yet. It seems the on-course commentators get less on airtime than they did for some reason. As has been the case for decades, competition breeds success.
I have to start by saying I'm "Brooks Koepka" from the Apple podcast comments 😂, I tried to just write Brooks Koepka as my name but it didn't let me, so I thought adding the punch emoji on the end was very fitting 😂. I heard you read my comment on air and got really excited like a little kid 😂 I'm 42 😂 and ran up to my girlfriend to tell her. And to answer your question about using the chipping area and putting green when you're not a member, I'd say it's ok to do because there's never a queue of golfers waiting for a turn on the green like there would be at a range bay, there's 1, maybe 2 golfers practicing at any time. So it's NO theft from me. I'm also sat here drinking a couple of beers while watching this and now know my death date is brought forward by me drinking and I can't do anything about it 😂😂, I might as well cancel my gym membership now
With the power of IT I can’t see why I can’t go down to my local driving range and play against Tiger and Rory on a Monday night. We could have Comps with 100,000 entries !
I really think that it's incumbent on the course to watch out for people playing their course or the practice areas. If it's theft then maybe the owners should be more careful. It costs that course a lot of money to maintain these golf courses. However if they are not watching them all fair. Great discussion guys. Thanks
Rick we need to see reviews for the Q adjustable loft 11 in 1 golf club, the wooden putter and Bryson DeChambeau's long-drive driver I need to see all Also, that break 75 with hybrid irons that you promised!
Losing weight can reverse onset of diabetes and reduce chance of heart attack, your cancer risk after giving up smoking drops massively after ten years, I could go on! so mr charnock is indeed correct! Enjoyed the ramblings of today’s episode, great stuff!
On the using the facilities at a golf club, I have asked if I can use the chipping and putting facilities a number of times at different courses in the UK and they have always said that it is OK. I would ask ahead of just walking onto them and getting stuck in but most places are inviting and inclusive.
Great podcast as always. Just to note your careers page can only be accessed via typing the URL and no hyperlink is present under ‘more’ or on the website 👍🏻
To the question towards the end I do work in medicine so do have a decent knowledge on the body and how things can affect organs. However I’m not claiming to know the answer at all it’s just my thoughts. I believe that anyone can prolong their life by living a healthy life both through regular activity and healthy eating… one of the most important been avoiding processed foods. So if say patient X has lived a really un healthy life with little to no activity, poor diet and is now 30, obese and smokes like a chimney. When patient X was born he may have had a life expectancy (from living just a normal moderately healthy life) of say 70. I believe from birth that can be extended through living a healthy life to say 80. Through living the life patient X has lived he might have shortened it to 50 however he is still 20 years from that. Rick is right damage has already been done and this patient would never get back to the 70 and certainly not 80 but I believe through stopping smoking, daily exercise and a healthy diet patient X could live beyond the 50 years even if only to say 55.
Hi Rick and guy , how do you base the length of the podcast is it on an average car journey as occasionally I listen when I have to use car for works keeps me awake as usually after 12 hour night shift thanks guys
Funny that the 2 of you are so positive about this TGL (pro's hitting balls on a simulator and calling it a golf series...lol) while you made it very obvious how negative you are about LIV...double standards hey...just saying
TGL = more tournaments...with due respect to what they're trying to do - one of the big reasons (apart from $$$) that many golfers left the PGA Tour to play the LIV Tour was because they thought the PGA schedule was too full and they want to play LESS golf. Nevertheless, I wish TGL all the best.
Loved the humour in this one, especially on Rick's 'secret' lesson 😅 BTW Guy, regardless of whether you die in a week or in 100 years, every day you live you are getting a day closer to it. Derr! 🤪
367yds isn't a drivable par 4 lol. Unless you carry it 320 and have some serious wind at your back. Let the PGA hold an event at the course Matt played and you won't see 1 single ace on that hole all week long. Including the practice rounds M-W.
The course nearest my house i've actually asked if I need to pay to use the chipping and putting areas and they said I don't have to. They say people can just come and use those facilities.
There is some clubs, in sweden, that charges 50 skr (some 4 pounds) then you can use the training area as you please on that day.... Not for it or against it.
Personally I don’t see an issue with using the putting/chipping green to practice. If you are hitting range balls or playing holes that you didn’t pay for-then that is where I draw the line. For reference I am from the states so maybe it is more taboo elsewhere.
I find the selection of cities for the TGL teams very odd. LA and Atlanta make sense and perhaps NYC but Boston and San Francisco are strange. Even ignoring that SF is collapsing due to crime and homelessness I doubt SF and Boston are hotbeds of golf. Same for NYC. Given the weather in NYC and Boston the golf season is rather limited. Rather than those cities there should be a team in Texas and Florida. If they want a big city with a long golf tradition why not a team in Chicago?
Love the pod and love Rick and Guy...but the TGL commentary is filled with bias towards the PGA Tour. All the negatives that have been raised by the guys in the past about LIV, somehow don't apply to TGL? "Fake teams" - "Not real golf" - "Doesn't mean anything" - "All about money" - How Rick can say he's excited, and it is going to bring in a new audience before seeing a single shot, yet be skeptical about LIV before a shot got hit, is a little bit tough to swallow. To me the concept is exactly the same as LIV just with simulators...which makes it entirely comical. The game is being grown by RUclips and TikTok golf...there is literally no need for this. In the same way there was probably no need for LIV. It is all about the money. Nothing more nothing less. get the feeling Rick and the guys don't wanna piss off the Big Cat.
@Rickshiels i think that using the pen and putting it back is theft. Would you allow taking a new pro v1 out of the box, use it for 1 hole, and put it back in the box?
On the Dear Rick part I am not a member of a course near me. I have paid and played there a lot. I have golf lessons there, my daughter also has lessons there. I have practiced there many times but according to the rules I should play a practice fee - I never pay that. I can justify it for myself because I pay for the driving range and all the other services I earlier mentioned.
I came here to see if you commented on Scharf’s hole in one. I’m glad you had a take on it and it was a comical one. It is unreal that he is the one on good good that keeps getting the hole in ones. With all those good golfers you would think garrette, kwon, or Brad would be draining them. Kwon did have a hole in one on the par 3 course so we can’t discredit that but it is still unbelievable what Scharf has done.
Is it just me who doesn’t know what TGL is??
Think it’s the tiger golf league
Tiger and Rory have been working on a golf league. Not like Liv or PGA but or "arcade" so to speak
Tech Golf League. Indoor golf league with sims for long shots and a full short game facility to play around the green.
It’s linked to the PGA tour so I’m guessing Guy will say it’s amazing and such a innovative concept that will only improve golf
@@andrew_l1900 😂😂😂👀
Literally came here from the audio podcast for Matt’s boots, a lot of love for that content 😂
Rahm quit TGL as he knows it will be garbage.
Surely the main reason for Viktor Hovland and Jon Rahm not being involved in TGL is that (although based in the US, but in Oklahoma and Arizona respectively) and so therefore approximately 1400 and 2800 miles from where the event every Monday in Clearwater, Florida will be held! It's like asking a UK based golfer to travel every week to Egypt or Turkey and back just to hit some balls into a screen for couple of hours.
Jay tells them, “don’t take LIV money”. But he will 😂
Rick and Guy just can't be beat. They ARE RUclips golf.

I need to see all
Also, that break 75 with hybrid irons that you promised!
Losing weight can reverse onset of diabetes and reduce chance of heart attack, your cancer risk after giving up smoking drops massively after ten years, I could go on! so mr charnock is indeed correct!
Enjoyed the ramblings of today’s episode, great stuff!
Did the boys talk about the Guinness Challenge drama?
Why does Guy look like a scientist 😂 Dr. Charnock
On the using the facilities at a golf club, I have asked if I can use the chipping and putting facilities a number of times at different courses in the UK and they have always said that it is OK.
I would ask ahead of just walking onto them and getting stuck in but most places are inviting and inclusive.
Thanks for all the content. Absolutely love listening to you and Guy. God's I miss David Flaherty. Lol
The 64 foot screen seems very impressive at first. Then i think how it replaces a 7200 yard golf course.
Great podcast as always. Just to note your careers page can only be accessed via typing the URL and no hyperlink is present under ‘more’ or on the website 👍🏻
Thanks for the heads up
To the question towards the end I do work in medicine so do have a decent knowledge on the body and how things can affect organs. However I’m not claiming to know the answer at all it’s just my thoughts. I believe that anyone can prolong their life by living a healthy life both through regular activity and healthy eating… one of the most important been avoiding processed foods. So if say patient X has lived a really un healthy life with little to no activity, poor diet and is now 30, obese and smokes like a chimney. When patient X was born he may have had a life expectancy (from living just a normal moderately healthy life) of say 70. I believe from birth that can be extended through living a healthy life to say 80. Through living the life patient X has lived he might have shortened it to 50 however he is still 20 years from that. Rick is right damage has already been done and this patient would never get back to the 70 and certainly not 80 but I believe through stopping smoking, daily exercise and a healthy diet patient X could live beyond the 50 years even if only to say 55.
For me, the countdown to Augusta starts with Kapalua.
Hi Rick and guy , how do you base the length of the podcast is it on an average car journey as occasionally I listen when I have to use car for works keeps me awake as usually after 12 hour night shift thanks guys
Funny that the 2 of you are so positive about this TGL (pro's hitting balls on a simulator and calling it a golf series...lol) while you made it very obvious how negative you are about LIV...double standards hey...just saying
We didn’t ask for TGL. We don’t want it. It’s simulator golf that’s wack
I enjoy the Podcast. Very entertaining. Thanks for the laughs.
Glad you enjoyed it
TGL = more tournaments...with due respect to what they're trying to do - one of the big reasons (apart from $$$) that many golfers left the PGA Tour to play the LIV Tour was because they thought the PGA schedule was too full and they want to play LESS golf. Nevertheless, I wish TGL all the best.
Loved the humour in this one, especially on Rick's 'secret' lesson 😅
BTW Guy, regardless of whether you die in a week or in 100 years, every day you live you are getting a day closer to it. Derr! 🤪
Did Rick not say he took a few on the wooden menus from Tigers restaurant in Florida 😂😂
TGL got there format from Good Good
Ive always practiced putting and chipping on courses ive no intention of playing. No harm done.
I never had that problem. Most places it is free to use the clubs training facilities
Fair due to Matt. But I wonder how many hole in ones there would be if the PGA players played that many drivable par 4’s.
367yds isn't a drivable par 4 lol. Unless you carry it 320 and have some serious wind at your back. Let the PGA hold an event at the course Matt played and you won't see 1 single ace on that hole all week long. Including the practice rounds M-W.
@@michaelallen2501 considering he reached it with a driver, I would call it drivable. Just curious over a season if and how many could be made.
Hilarious final 20 mins boys! Guy on serious form
hahah thanks!
The course nearest my house i've actually asked if I need to pay to use the chipping and putting areas and they said I don't have to. They say people can just come and use those facilities.
Lungs do recover themselves after smoking. So it is possible to extend life by being healthier
There is some clubs, in sweden, that charges 50 skr (some 4 pounds) then you can use the training area as you please on that day.... Not for it or against it.
Personally I don’t see an issue with using the putting/chipping green to practice. If you are hitting range balls or playing holes that you didn’t pay for-then that is where I draw the line.
For reference I am from the states so maybe it is more taboo elsewhere.
I think there are a few women that might have an opinion on Ricks statement regarding Tiger making peoples lifes better...
I find the selection of cities for the TGL teams very odd. LA and Atlanta make sense and perhaps NYC but Boston and San Francisco are strange. Even ignoring that SF is collapsing due to crime and homelessness I doubt SF and Boston are hotbeds of golf. Same for NYC. Given the weather in NYC and Boston the golf season is rather limited. Rather than those cities there should be a team in Texas and Florida. If they want a big city with a long golf tradition why not a team in Chicago?
Lmao that truly was the weirdest ending to a podcast but I loved it lmao, I actually cried 😂 guy is actually hilarious
Love the pod and love Rick and Guy...but the TGL commentary is filled with bias towards the PGA Tour. All the negatives that have been raised by the guys in the past about LIV, somehow don't apply to TGL? "Fake teams" - "Not real golf" - "Doesn't mean anything" - "All about money" - How Rick can say he's excited, and it is going to bring in a new audience before seeing a single shot, yet be skeptical about LIV before a shot got hit, is a little bit tough to swallow. To me the concept is exactly the same as LIV just with simulators...which makes it entirely comical. The game is being grown by RUclips and TikTok golf...there is literally no need for this. In the same way there was probably no need for LIV. It is all about the money. Nothing more nothing less. get the feeling Rick and the guys don't wanna piss off the Big Cat.
Guy: “Better, bigger, better.. in 2024” 43:47 inspiring😂❤ can’t wait for the future
You guys make golf so much more fun. Maybe go ask permission before jumping on the practice green . And saying thank you. Be nicer than you have to.😊
Even Matt Fryer has a hole in one on camera
Will you (Rick) be in Augusta area for the Masters this year?
I think announcing the owners right away solves the problem LIV had of knowing where their money came from
@Rickshiels i think that using the pen and putting it back is theft. Would you allow taking a new pro v1 out of the box, use it for 1 hole, and put it back in the box?
Had to see the boots ..
On the Dear Rick part
I am not a member of a course near me. I have paid and played there a lot. I have golf lessons there, my daughter also has lessons there.
I have practiced there many times but according to the rules I should play a practice fee - I never pay that. I can justify it for myself because I pay for the driving range and all the other services I earlier mentioned.
“Los An-gel-eez” 😅
He just announced he's going to LIV golf.
