Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This RUclips 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.

Rick: Hits 35 draws to the left side.
Also Rick: Aims right to play the draw - hits it straight.
He's one of us. Bless him.
Nah we would hit draw 35 times, aim straight and slice it right, no half measures
He talks a good game but............
@@robmc198090 he shot level par tbf..
One of us
@@guyr7351 have you been spying on me?! My life right there. 😂
Ricks determination to call his hooks, pulls and duck hooks as “too much draw” continues to amaze me
Definitely. It’s the golf version of “carrying just a few extra pounds.”
Is it me or does Will have a clever one liner for every situation?
He’s clearly been doing this for a while aye
“Hey, caddy’s gotta think on their toes”
I’m new to golf but it seems important as a caddy to keep the mood light and the players from overthinking it so that’s probably why he does that
Will: "There's only one play here"
Rick: "Big hook"
Will: "punch something under the tree"
Probably sums up golf perfectly
I know dude like why have the caddie if you’re going to do whatever the hell you want? Lol
I'm sure it's a significant adjustment that a player has to make when they have a caddie, but I did feel that Rick didn't make it and constantly over-rode Will's advice. Will didn't fight him on it, which I suspect is the sign of a good caddie anyway. The other thing that I noticed Rick doing that maybe Will could have pulled him up on was thinking holes ahead instead of focussing on the ball at his feet and the shot needed to play that. Certainly all Will's advice was about that shot, not some mythical shot on the next hole.
There are two golfers in all of us. Listen to your "Will"
Caddies have always amazed me. The understanding they have and the course testing they do is amazing. Not only that, but the mental support they give to the player is crucial
To be fair, it is their job. If all I did everyday was read a golf course I’m sure we would all be pretty decent.
Read a book quite a few years ago now called '4 Iron in the soul' True story about a journalist who takes a year off to become a golf caddy for a tour pro. Really good book, really funny and eye opening about what some of the caddies go through particularly when caddying for lesser known golf pro's. Definitely recommend it.
Injecting confidence into a golfer is huge…….
@@bk0333 debatable
@@Pxgamer721 How is that debatable. If I go and dedicate my life to fishing while you work a 9-5 I am going to be a better fisherman than you. But if the role was reversed you would be a better fisherman than me. Simple.
It’s interesting listening to him. He doesn’t tell Rick what shot to hit, but he almost encourages him into the right shot by saying ‘yes, I like that shot’. He’s basically validating Ricks confidence.
Wow, Will is a class act. Full on professional. Always giving exactly as much or as little advice as needed for each situation. Remarkable.
I love the banter: "You can't birdie them all unless you birdie the first one" "There's no pictures on the scorecard". Great!!
Rick: I’m just going to let you tell me everything today.
Also Rick on his second shot: I think I can hit a slinging high 3 iron.
Right! It was killing me he didn't just sit and listen.
Of course when you have a caddie for the first time you simply can’t think for yourself…..
I love the confidence he put on Rick at 42:30 with Rick worrying about the branches and Will responds with "Naw, you're gonna be fine, don't even see the branches" and then follows it immediately with "You can, yes you can" when Rick starts to question where he can drop it. Fantastic to see how a Caddie works with the golfer. Wish you all the best in your Tour career Will.
I think the confidence a caddie can give you is the invaluable feeling a player benefits from. If you trust them, you're more likely to make better swings. Better swings make lower scores.
Confidence is such a big part of this game.
You've really stepped up the content and taken the editing to a new level. The hole previews using drone footage with the distance to hazards info overlayed, is superb. General camera work, breaking the 4th wall just enough. I'm really impressed with this. Maybe a new mini series, introducing new caddies? I also like how you tie your videos into the podcast and vice versa. Top stuff, keep up the good work!
Next video: Can I break par by genetically morphing into Tiger Woods
Ouch
I’d watch that video

Can i break par after having telekinesis abilities
The “disappointing the caddie” is definitely a an aspect I can relate to😂. Thank you for another Friday episode! Loving these!
honestly a really good round... the expectation of 68 69 at the beginning set the tone but really we were just aiming for under 75. so you 74 and under is mission accomplished. some of your misses would be my dream shots. keep at it !
I love the confidence from Will on yardages and putts. “This is right, go at it”
This is the first caddy I have seen that gives you amazing confidence. He knows his stuff. His voice and energy are so good.
Rick, would love to see a “day in a life” vlog or “week in a life” with yourself to get to know you more. Loving the content as always
Yea i had no idea he had kids!
@@tylergreen2130 clearly haven’t been around very long
I would love to be the CADDIE!!
I’d love Rick to be my caddie….
@@buddybrooks9659 sounds as though you like the sausage rolls! 😁🤙
I think the best thing Will did for you today was keep your head level. When you have a non-ideal start in these break 75 videos, you tend to over think things and he didn’t give you the opportunity to and it really showed with the way you finished the round. Great video as always, Rick!
I always love the way caddies (mostly as far as I know) always try and think positively during a round. Never say anything negative to the player, to keep the thoughts positive
Major credit to your editing team!! Honestly the quality of these videos is amazing
This caddy is the KING of one-liners!
"Let's go find the ball and hit it again"
"There aren't any pictures on the scorecard"
They just keep coming! What a riot.
'You can't birdie them all unless you birdie the first'
I'm 7 minutes in and counted about 4 already. I love it
My favorite: “You just needed a warmup…a quick, 17-hole, warmup…”
gonna find a hole and pound it
I was just coming to say "Barely into the video and I've already scored 4 one-liners I'm stealing for my next round" lol
Loved how humble you kept and apologized at throwing him the ball and what a class response by will. I enjoyed the video so much Rick. Hope to see some more like this. Have you done something like this with Guy?
I have truly reverted to watching you Rick over any other television going. You don’t make enough of these, I vote for 2 a week 😃. Never give up making the break 75’s mate.
Genuinely one of the best videos you have done in my opinion.. super interesting and informative to hear all of Will's analytical advice for each hole using all his professional experience. Would absolutely love to see more like this, keep up the great work - you've been making some awesome content!
So interesting the conversation between player and caddie. I know this is something that is being introduced to tour golf but would love to hear more of it. Another brilliant video
One of the best vdos by Rick showing all of us how professional the tour caddies are and the kind of info they give ... the yardage the green read and the tee off ... awesome. Worth watching .
Brilliant. And what a great guy he is. The thought that goes into each shot and the confidence he gives the player is incredible.
I mean, it's not just him and the caddie.... he has an entire film crew with him. Way more pressure than i could handle. I also appreciate Rick appears to be an everyday dude. Little bit of a dad bod, still killing it.
This was a wonderful episode. So interesting to see the preparation a caddy does aside from just carrying the bag . Well done !
Great video, one of my favorites in this series. Loved Will Davidson. I can see the value on the reinforcement, the keeping focus, etc., even when it's nothing more than an "I agree." Maybe I'm just speaking too much for myself, but even when I am "pretty sure" I know the line--even on short putts, or how to play a shot into the green, etc., there's some small amount of doubt that keeps me from fully committing too many times. I need a Will Davidson in my life.
This is a great concept Rick and team. I love the break 75 series already, but this is a really nice extra bit of detail and information. Loved it. Thank you for the great content, your team are absolutely great and I think you’re smashing it.
Brilliant episode. Thoroughly enjoyable. Some of the best rounds I've ever had have been with caddies. Just about how much to carry or lay up and especially the putting!
Love his demeanor. Caddies are so good at never getting down and making sure the only shot you are thinking about is the one you are about to hit and not the bad one you just hit. Makes for a much more even keel round of golf even when it's not going so great. Not to mention...all the information they provide you with is invaluable. Great episode.
This was fantastic! So fun to see the calming effect that a good caddie brings! Way to stick with it and finish with a great round!
Loved being able to hear the banter with the caddie, rare to get a chance to hear everything on tour television.
Absolutely outstanding content again ,awesome to see how Rick can get so far out of position off the tee but still manages to get away with par,like Will said “no room for pictures on the scorecard “ it doesn’t matter how only how many
Great video. Great insight to caddie life. Surprised he didn't encourage u to play to ur current shape. Still had you aiming middle when you were heavy drawing everything. Plus surprised didnt encourage early putts getting them to the hole. Once pace greens dialled in was a putting masterclass. Great round considering spots you found yourself in. Level par with about 2 fairways found.
It is very nice to see and hear what a pro caddie does. Great work, both of you!
41:50 "Usually if it's front pin I'd much rather have a wedge in" - this is gold for my game. Thanks Will and Rick!
Glad to see Lexi's caddie, Will Davidson. Lexi needed a good caddie because the caddie before Will was fairly incompetent. I saw him keep her from winning a tournament. He misclubbed her at a major in the wind...she was short three times in a row.
Glad she has Will now. Lexi needs encouragement. She can get down on herself.
'Nice come back on the back nine, Rick! Good round!
This was outstanding. Love Will’s energy! Can’t wait for the podcast!!
So glad you got him on the video! I watched both of them at the Shopritr LPGA classic, and it was incredible. He has such a good way of calming the player down, reassuring them, and letting them choose their own line at just the right times. Caddies are amazing
Such an awesome concept for a video, I’ve always wanted to see inside the mind of a pro caddie like this
I agree that caddies definitely keep you level headed. Helping control your emotions. Especially after poor shots. There very good at not just reading the course but counseling you through the frustrations of golf..
Absolutely fantastic his knowledge is priceless please do more like this with tour caddies 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
"theres no pictures on the scorecard"
"but there are videos on youtube"
that's such a simple yet brilliant exchange given the context,
also, gotta say, I am absolutely loving Will's demeanour.
I'm Irish so I'm not sure if I'm saying this correctly, but I believe Rick would would describe Will is a 'top bloke' (I hope I've pronounced that correctly, no offence intended).
That was so cool to see how a caddie can really help your game. We see it in the pros and expect it of course. Sometimes we need to really have a chat with ourselves on the course and make better decisions. Thanks for this video! Rich Z
This is such a cool episode because it shows into the mind of a caddie. I love this twist on break 75 👍
The best video in a while Rick...loved hearing the course management discussions!
Better because it didn't have what's-his-name in it
Love the course management conversations in this one! Great round, Rick!
I’ve never had a caddie but I did like the fact that he was encouraging you to hit a shot confidently. Giving the input and recommending certain shots but letting you make the call and backing you up on it to commit to it
This was one of the most interesting videos I knew what caddies did but it was really cool to actually hear and see one who’s a professional in action. Great idea for a video Rick! I’d love to see more behind the scenes videos like this!
Amazing job Rick you’ve grown so far as a golfer
Great video - was interesting hearing the thought process as you talked through the options. Was good to learn course management and just how much a caddy does apart from carrying those giant tour bags!
Just wanna say thanks for this video Rick. Have been knocking on the door of a sub 80 score for a while. Hadn’t watched this video until Friday this week and seeing how you guys approached the round and various tee shots helped me break 80 today. NEW PB of 78!!!! 🙌🏾
Good job!!!
*THE BEST SERIES ON RUclips!* ⛳️
Thankyou for giving us the insights of what Caddies do. With the pros they don’t talk loud so we don’t get to hear the conversations. This Caddie is awesome
WILL DAVIDSON SHOULD BE IN BROADCASTING !
He has those smooth, buttery midsouth tones as he delivers all those million times used golf quips without an ounce of sincerity. He's a delight to listen to. I really enjoyed the video.
Liked Will's positive attitude, mental strenght and focus. I'll try to emulate some of it next round.
Patience
2 mins in and i am already loving it. Probably one of the best episodes of this season.
Legit the best round I’ve seen you play ever tbh shows how much of a difference a pro caddy makes
That was a good 18,caddy really kept you focused in the presence, no thought about the past. Well done gents!
Loved everything about this episode, especially Will’s Muscadine Bloodline hat!
That and the Auburn yardage book told me all I need to know about this fine southern gentleman
Rick, what I found so fascinating was Will's attention to detail, prior to and throughout the 18 holes. No wonder you thought, at times, that you were letting him down.
Loved this video, very interesting to see the input of a professional caddie. Soo many close puts that could have had you under par. Thanks.
Great episode. Really enjoyed it and to see, what an impact a caddy can make. Great stuff guys
Really like Will. Calming influence on the course. Liked the way he knew exactly what shot you needed to play but you both decided what was the right club. Very enlightening on how to plan your way round the course. It's not all about just hitting an 8 iron (my 140 club) because you've got 140 to the pin. Monthly medal tomorrow. Already feel like I'm going to look at things a bit differently.
Ok how many people here are in their heads like “ I’m going to hire a caddy to see what kinda score I put up? ! Great video Rick!
Wow, I was rooting so hard for you on this round. Interesting how you can feel pressure to just shoot an arbitrary score with nothing else on the line. That's golf. Love it.
My favourite Rick Shiels video. Excellent knowledge from Will and it looked like fun to be part of. Great content
Brilliant stuff 👌👌Really good Rick!!! Yes Will definitely assisted you in shooting 71…. Love Will & all the stuff U do🔥🔥 CHEERS ⛳️⛳️🇬🇧🇺🇸
If you ever do this again, tell us what club and distance you would do, then contrast that with what you and your caddie decide together. Will take a lot more time, but I would be so interested in the difference, if there's any.
I was surprised at how much difference there was between what Rick thought the distance was on a few occasions verses what Will said was the actual distance. Interesting eh.
Comments are always so positive in a Rick Shiels video. Love it.
Fun round to watch! Started horrible but kept your head in it and scrambled like crazy during the bad holes. A lesson for me to learn from!
Arguably, my favourite break 75. Frustrated, excited, elated, angry, informative. Just a roller coaster of emotions when watching this. Thats what makes it great
Uncontrollable hooks. When will you take a different swing approach?
my fav rick video ever. So fun to watch
Loved this! Great the way you kept the round together, I would have fallen apart after the par 3 double but the round improved, great work from the caddy.
Who ever reads this I pray that blessings come your way 🙏🙏🙏

"Massive Massive Massive Draw"
🤔
It's No A Draw Rick, It's Called A Hook 😂
This was awesome Rick. I'm a big Lexi fan so to see you play 18 with her caddie was really cool. Will seems like a super nice guy and can't wait to listen to the podcast. Thanks! And nice round by the way!
My favourite video in a while, loved how you were genuinely competing against yourself like all of us do! Great video!
Never seen you putt so well!! Will just calms you down and gives you time to concentrate
Great format, Rick! And great caddying by Will. Loving it!
Such a great video this one! Would be good to see more caddies on the channel. Rick’s is putting great right now!
Been looking forward to this all week!! Time to hit the couch and enjoy, thanks again!!
Break #75 videos are my favorite videos of yours to watch! Thanks for the content!
This video is my favorite of the ones that you've made. I was glued to the video for the entire thing (a rarity on YT for videos this long).
Love Wills attitude. This video was great
Very nice, Rick! You kept your head in the game and didn’t talk yourself into a bad round. Instead, you got over your bad shots quickly and shot a great round because of it. 🤘🏻
I've always loved the break 75 episodes but this one with Will is one of my favourites. Was a great insight into how he caddies
I just came back from a bucket list trip to Scotland and Ireland. Had caddies every round. They are all professionals. Don’t worry about disappointing them. They have seen way worse and way better players than you. Go enjoy the moment. Make it fun for yourself and them. Don’t worry about your score.
Will here is exactly the type of caddie I had. Great attitude and support for the golfer. I can see why Lexie would have him on her bag.
Yeah the podcast was brilliant, u definitely need to do another one I’d love to hear more stories
I really like the addition of the Caddie for interesting content. It's so cool to see how much a good caddie can help.
Will was your savior today Rick. Fun vid!!
Phenomenal played! Chips and putts were on fire! Loved hearing Will talk you into each shot
Absolute brilliant video, need more like this 👍🏼👍🏼
At +3 I thought the dream was over. Superb work between the pair of you to pull it back to level par.
Seriously one of your best videos lately. Loved it!
