Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This RUclips channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!
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!
How nice of Rick to make sure the fairways stay pristine!
😂💀
Safest place on a golf course to be is where Rick is aiming
😂😂😂😂
Thin to twin
Rick for PM!
Get them costcos back in the bag
Excellent idea!
second this, he was smoking that driver too... and don't tell me he didn't putt great with the costco putter either haha
I agree
Sadly he won’t play them or a GI set. He’s a bit too proud / obsessed with the look of his clubs. I think a set of GIs or players distance irons would be great for his game
@@kerrywintersjr8256 I never understand why he spends some much time in the reviews talking about the appearance of the things... I couldn't care less how my clubs look frankly
Just been given the all clear from cancer beautiful charity well done lads
Congratulations Ian 👏🏻, all the best.
@@ianparry1566 good luck
My dog
Congrats!!!
Well done Ian ! That’s some to celebrate for sure.🇨🇦
Watching this video single handedly gives the best up and downs of GOLF. You’ll be high in the clouds and then humbled very quickly. Some people forget how hard it is to hit the same exact shot every single time with multiple clubs. Good job Rick, at least you’re real and not a bunch of BS.
Man the level of hate lately is crazy in the comments. As a 9 handicap I shoot all over the map. Seems like we’re all tour pros in here lately. Great video Rick and team!
It seems a lot of people don’t understand how the handicap system works. Your handicap is meant to be you at or near your best, not an average.
It’s honestly getting annoying. I don’t understand why people feel the need to comment. If you don’t like the videos, just don’t watch it. If you think (insert name here) is a better RUclips golfer, then just watch their stuff.
It’s especially annoying because it’s not like Rick carries himself like he thinks that he’s greatest. He’s actually pretty open about his troubles and weak spots
He shot 15 pars, missed 3 easy birdie putts and lost a ball. 7 over is decent for a low handicap golfer. It’s 30 points off scratch which is always a good score.
@@bzomeful I think people get frustrated with his terrible short game, especially after lessons from a god - tier coach, constant clicky finger snaps and lame excuses after every shot. I love Rick but at this rate he'll have 'I didn't quite catch it'' on his gravestone.
@@Daniel189HLL you’re acting as if you paid for his short game lessons, no matter how much someone practices something it doesn’t guarantee they’ll be amazing at it. Thats life. Just sit back and enjoy, or don’t watch 🤷🏽♂️ pretty simple to me.
Rick holds the all-time course record here!
You do know Golf life played here before Rick😅
@@thorenoss like I said, Rick holds the all time course record here.
@@thorenoss thats such a weird thing to say? just because their video came out first? like watching their video i see divots already created on tee boxes and the fairway. sand that has been kicked up from bunkers they weren't in. just because a video is posted first doesn't mean it happened first.
@@pandatiggerz5720exactly and if I remember correctly, Rick said at the beginning of the video that they were shooting this in May. So a month-month and a half until he posted.
**added after the fact**
Yes it was end of May per 2:50
@@pandatiggerz5720he did say it was filmed in May, so you are right!
Rick needs the Kirkland signatures
His ego won't let him
@@MoyHobbies Cooooorrect
Hey in fairness Rick, you had two bad holes but played real steady for 16 holes with a ton of great approach shots.
The real crying shame was missing that tap in for birdie!
Always has couple bad holes that's why he's crasap
I play opposite this place, they have been saying it's almost ready for about 4 years now. Good to see it's finally finished.
What's the 9 hole like? Been meaning to play there but feels expensive for 9 holes
@@darylrobins9099I also play there. It's a very nice 9 hole. Much better value than many of the other local 9s or 18s.
West London Golf centre is soooo nice!!!
Don’t be fooled by the site of the dino mini park!!!
I love it how Rick always tries to give us a reason/explanation for why he's putting from off the green. Believe me Rick, we all know why you're doing it.
@@MosesMal0n3my boy, he’s doing a show! that’s like saying Bob Barker talks too much about prizes!
@@MosesMal0n3 spot on
@@MosesMal0n3. Trolling?
@@MosesMal0n3 Don’t take offense at this, but you can always stop watching.
Nobody’s holding a gun to your head and forcing you to watch his videos.
Trust me, nobody here will lose any sleep because you’re not watching. 😂
@@MosesMal0n3why not stop watching then? There is plenty of other golf content on RUclips. Not upset. Just curious.
Have you ever considered using a conventional putting grip for putts longer than 10-15 feet or so to get a bit more solid contact? Once you’ve played claw for a while, face contact using a conventional grip just feels so much more solid off the sweet spot. Then keep the claw for shorter range to fight the slice putt path.
I use to live next to this 13 years ago when it was bought. I walked it just before this was filmed as a pre opening wander for those interested in joining. It was spectacular, I hope it retains the Links feel.
Every time I hear Ceri's story about Hugh it chokes me up.... I CAN'T imagine... 🙏🏼❤️
The course sure is great looking! I live in a semi-desert in Texas, so green grass is quite a sight for me. Rick, you realize this is a once in a lifetime or less, probably much less, opportunity! No divots, no bumps, no oddities, just picture perfect. Awesome.
No birdies were harmed in the making of this video
Nothing new for Rick. Worst alleged low handicapper you will find
What an amazing opportunity!! Good on you mate
It’s not though. He lied. Big Ange and tubes played it with John Carew😅
@@thorenoss According to the owner of the golf course, Rick was the first person to play.
Source: golffeatures.com/content/inspiration-club
@@thorenoss rick did. He posted it later later
@@thorenosswe all played it in a media day. I was group ahead of tubes and behind Clubface UK, I think Rick was 1st though.
79 on a coarse that's never been played before. I think that's a great benchmark! Obviously, the next time you play, it will be a very different score. We'll done and thanks for the content Rick.
Love your positive mindset. Been following you for years and its good to see that you have changed from being hard on yourself to focusing on the positive and not focusing on bad luck or poor performance. Enjoy this content much more than where you where half a year ago
Rick, what an honor. To be fair, with close to three million subscribers and all rabid golfers not a bad adverts for the new course. Well done and as always thanks for the content.
That's the ONLY reason he was invited, well that and not damaging the fairways
Rick, I've been watching you do club reviews for years. Great review of the course just ten miles from London. You are a humble and honorable man. Appreciating the honor of being the first player ever on the course and humbled by your clam demeanor playing good golf and not your best golf. Well done video and thanks for the course overview.
That putt on the 9th 🤦😆 we've all been there 🙏
Ive been binging Rick's videos lately. I love that he posts when he plays phenomenally and when his play is less refined. Makes for a more realistic approach to a tough sport we all love.
I would love to see Rick put a set of forgiving irons in the bag including a 7-wood . And switch back to a Ping driver. And take more club on almost every single shot. He might have to change the name of these videos to "Break Par".
So many guys like you and me say the same thing and yet he can't see it. if nothing else a Ping driver
Rick, I’m one hole in and it’s my favourite video of yours this year… because you can see genuine joy. Please keep that!
I think with some more forgiving iorns, at least in the top of the bag, and maybe driver you'd see your score quite a bit better. Great video
What an absolute pleasure to vicariously accompany you on this round Rick!!!!! Many thanks.
Love your content and I especially love the training videos (e.g., chipping ones with Dan). Rick, maybe it is time for you to work on the mental aspect of the game. As amateurs we would love to know what it takes to keep the concentration during the entire 18 holes. Like many out there, we want to see you break 75 more often. You have the game. You just need to hold it together for the entire 18 holes. Easier said than done :)
Great video Rick. Those who play the game not just for a pi$$ up with mates understand that we go through slumps, and we have to push through it, and keep believing. Been there for the past 6 months going from breaking 70 to struggling to break 80. Just keep on going, those birdies will drop those doubles and triples will disappear of the card again. And the Break 75 series will be back on track again.
Seems like you played better using Kirkland equipment. Nice video!
Mike88GT: Very true but as you may remember, when he was using the Kirkland clubs, he was too busy finding reasons to not give them a good rating. For example, knocking the driver for not having the shaft he normally uses even though he hit it well. Also, downgrading the driver because Kirkland does not have a matching 3 & 5 woods. Also, after shooting 7 over with his fitted clubs, I wonder what grade he gave them?
@@SharonGeorge-gu8lz he played well with the Kirkland gear no doubt. he struck the ball well.
Was +2, went to put some chicken in the oven, left it playing, came back and he's +7
Wtf happened on 15/16? Not rewinding, it's a tough watch.
Rick pressed the self destruct button.
@@williamewen383 theres always that 1-2 holes
You know you can pause videos?
Congrats on the course record Rick
So relatable. That's what makes your videos so great. I can relate to not being able to get that birdie to drop and following straight pars with a double. Thanks for the view of this great golf course. Would love to come play this course.
Well deserved honor. You’ve given much.
Yes Rick! Brilliant of you to get this course loads of exposure
Course record for most birdie putts missed - all good rolls too 😂😢
Rick. You are a fantastic golfer. Speak positive thoughts to yourself. Leave the bad shots behind you without dwelling on them. With every shot focus on the positives!
I've always loved Rick's videos, whether it's break 75, club reviews, or podcast, he just seems like an average guy you could drink some pints with.🍺🍺🍺🍺⛳⛳
And an average golfer these days
Way to set the course record! Seriously, though, thank you for continuing to share and post these break 75s. A lot of us would be over the moon for a score in the 70s; I thought you played really well.
Hey Rick, but shout out from Australia! The course looks mint!
Played it a couple of days ago, as Rick said greens are amazing and it’s a really interesting course, managed a couple of birdies, but also a load of bogeys. Well worth a visit if you are in-that area
Hello Rick from Raleigh, NC. Another entertaining video - you are such a great ambassador for the game! Can't wait to hear your review of their sausage rolls once they get up and running! Fairways and greens!
8:01 No more Texas wedge Rick! Those bounces ate up the speed. Trust yourself and your wedge game. You got this.
Rick, your back swing transition is sooo quick. You’re the pro! Come on! 😂
Yeah looks like he’s breaking the wrists right away, especially on the driver. I think that’s a big reason he’s so inconsistent with the club.
@@b12deficient24 yes drives me batty!
@@3nCounting His handicap index would be loads lower than 4 with the 'new' handicap system... 🤷🏻♂️
Looks like a great coure and not super expensive. Also great to see Rick enjoying himself and enjoying playing golf with all it brings.
The comments are savage today, but course management has never been Rick's strong suit
I let out a big “ohhhh nooooo!” when you missed that putt on the ninth Rick. I know we have all been there and done that but I really wanted you to make that just as much as I am sure you did. Looks like a really nice course, very lucky to be the first person to ever play it. Definitely reminds me of some of the links courses here in Australia that we have close to Melbourne.
Never thought I would see the day, Rick playing links golf in the slums of hayes😂
Hayes.....it's Northolt son, behave yourself
slums of Northolt then 😂@@jamespenston1122
Looks amazing ❤️ will definitely be giving The Inspiration a go & beat Ricks course record 😊
"i have been playing really well lately, other than a few bad holes"
As Super Bowl winning coach Bill Parcells once said.."your record is what you are".
Translation: no excues, no rationalizing, no woulda-coulda-shouldas
That first ever birdie putt is why we love watching you. You post all the game we all live with.
Lol Rick hit a straight shot challenge, bro always has to try to move the ball
I've played The Shire and it's one of my favourite courses - so will look forward to playing The Inspiration - great video Rick 👍
Get to Aus Rick and play some of our courses.
Austria does have some amazing courses.
😂
@@morkusmorkus6040 haha, that’s Aut.
That's golf! It just struck me, Rick, what a good job you do of carrying on a monolog for 18 holes while playing golf- and how difficult that must be. But it's that monolog that you have that makes your videos worth watching. Great job!
Rick never takes enough club its so frustrating to watch... He pulls one 40 yards left pin high and is complaining about needing to hit pitching wedge. -_-
It's getting to the point where I'm just about done with watching
He will ALWAYS choose to "muscle one in there" instead of clubbing up.
@@zachpiotrowicz647 I am shouting at the TV, Rick, go up a club! Into wind, never allows enough, comes up short and says I. Didn't quite catch it. Most of the trouble around the greens is at the front or front middle.
see it all the time when he plays with tour pros thinking he can hang with them. His ego is his biggest weakness
@@FlySoto Nah, he knows he is not a tour pro. I think his issue is that he plays every shot as if he is going to pure it. He uses tour level irons instead of forgiving. He switched to a high speed driver from a forgiving one. Off the tee he only sees "position A" and does not try to be safe.
Missing that birdie putt on 9 reminds me that Rick is all of us. I usually lose a few sleeves of balls every time I play but it is comforting to know that even the best of us miss those too.
Stay tuff Ceri!
Rick, I live in Hayes, about 10 mins from the course. Think your tee shot (16th) landed in my garden 😂
Loving my new home course - The Inspiration.
Keep the videos and podcasts coming 👍🏽
you got me into golfing
come to canada
Why would anyone go to Canada🤣🤣
@@user-tg8qo6nz9kso Trudeau and jail them if they say anything at all 😂
Rick's real golf again. I'd be very pleased with this for a round of golf even with the two disaster holes. Overall, it was sound....and a great looking course. 👏👏
this guy is like a fucking addict... "gotta make a birdie" - relentless.
Great video. Thank you for the best golf content on RUclips.
Can we just recognise some really solid golf from Rick in this round! I know he had those ‘blow up’ holes, but the rest of the golf was great.
Would you like us all to stand whilst we do so?
@@cliffmanley9153 erm, no…??
What a monumentally stupid thing to say, were you having a bad day Cliffy?
Now, I’m sure you’re not the dumbest person on the planet, but you better hope they don’t die…
Loving the close-up slowmo shots after the putts
I hear Guy just jumped in his car and dashed out there to set the course record!
What a course! Good round Rick
Rick is not a bad golfer at all but I think he thinks he is better than he is. More forgiving clubs and less expectations could improve his game for sure
i’m so glad i became a member here
it truly is a gorgeous course
Not trying to be a dick but it's become a thing when folk at our club are putting from well off the green we call it a Rick Shiels 😂😂😂
Dude same lmfao, my friends and i say "goin shiels" instead of texas wedge lol
@@hrs1414 😂😂😂👍🏻
A valiant attempt Rick. Thank you for your calm on camera. ;)
why yall always complaining about rick's videos? do you have nothing better to do than to say the same critical things about the video every single video? maybe don't watch if you don't like the content or his demeanor.
Rick, When chipping esp with higher lofted wedges pick them up higher in the backswing. Love your channel keep chipping and can’t wait to see u start to have confidence over chips!
At least the fairways are looking safe😂
That putt on the 9th was devastating.
And the 11th😢
Not even gonna talk about the 15th and the 16th. By now I'd have been shouting I hate golf me😂.
Course looks great. Well played. Plenty of pars just a bit unlucky on a few punishing shots. Great video Rick👍
Well done Rick. Course record, 1st GIR, 1st fairway hit, 1st divot, 1st par, 1st bogey, 1st double bogey, 1st triple bogey, 1st lip out, 1st bunker found, and 1st lost ball. Some of these 1st's will never be taken from you. Overall a reasonable round mate. Also no such thing as a gimme for you.
And the course still aint see a birdie
I’m 3 minutes in and I already know this is going to be a good one. The vibes are right
Rick is allergic to Birdies
Great round man :) you were just a few shots away from an amazing round! The score does not do you justice here.... Well played and thanks for great content as always.
They 100% asked Rick to play this first because they knew it would keep the fairways safe. 😂
Rick, the energy has been differently lately in a great way! Good stuff!
No views no comments?! I’m him
The reaction shots have been epic so far! “Three phenomenal chances!” I feel for you!
I see the short game lessons have really paid off 😂
Rick is big timer lessons go thru one ear out the other with him. He goes right back to his bad habits. His mate James fixed his driver iron play. Rick was trending the right direction but nope he thinks he should be hitting further than does so went right back to that horrible hook he plays. Rick can’t be taught he knows it all.
Then says the wind didn't bring it back! A snap hook!! I'm tired of him saying I didn't quite catch it almost every other shot. 😮@@Lovetheducks
@@Daniel189HLL literally happens every video. *snap hook* immediately yells "WIND" 🤣
@@Lovetheducks when he's made this much money doing it I think it really just gets to his head. he needs to get a reality check and realise hes not that guy...
@@danielkwon396I’ve began to lose interest in the videos because of this exact reason
Beautiful course!!
I was on the edge of my seat for every putt with you..
I hate the thumbnail
Really cool thing to do. Congrats on getting the opportunity. You played well too minus th couple of blips and unlucky putts.
It's nice to actually see a new course being built. In Canada there are virtually no new courses anymore. Even a new course project in the middle of nowhere will face massive opposition. "It's only for rich people!" "It ruins the environment!" Wah! Wah! Waaah!😭
6:33 what an absolutely raw quote!
Rick's ego will be shattered when he find out a 9 years old shatters his all time course record there a day after he leave.
Rick, I would consider it an awesome favor if you could do a full review on the Callaway TruVis Yellow and Black chrome soft golf balls…There just aren’t enough reviews on these golf balls on line to warrant the price point asked…I bought used ones and I really love them because I’m blind in my left eye and less than 20/20 in my right eye…They are the only ball I can find to use so I can actually see and play golf without my buddies, which really sucks…Any who, I love your videos and they have changed my golf game tremendously
Don't appreciate the Clickbait photo
Dude really ???
It’s clearly not real 😂 relax man
🤦🏻♂️
It’s an absolutely beautiful golf course. It’s gonna take a miracle to get a tee time when they open up.👍🏼👍🏼
I just wish after every shot there wasn't an excuse lol
Same here. I like rick but he's getting really hard to watch. Putting off the tee will be next! Too much waffle.
Omg get over yourselves
Great RS as always to follow your different golfrounds and golfideas,.. I also mean it is nice to have a course record!🤨✅🙏⛳️👍
You lot all hating on Rick but bet the majority couldn’t get anywhere near par on the course first time 😂
What an amazing looking golf course!
The question to ask, as you are a pro, why can't you hit the fairway??
Thanks Rick for showing us the hole course. 🤣 love the real golf ⛳️
I just don’t understand why so many people come here to talk crap. If you don’t like the content, be an adult and do something else with your time.

As long as it's not nasty or hateful then it's just opinions. The whole RUclips algorithm is based on views, comments etc. without the interaction Rick wouldn't get paid. People can enjoy the content and still leave a negative comment
