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.🇨🇦
Rick needs the Kirkland signatures
His ego won't let him
@@MoyHobbies Cooooorrect
No birdies were harmed in the making of this video
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!
Only to be broken by a junior +10 handicap by tomorrow AM 💀
@@MosesMal0n3or a regular 12 handicap 😂
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Every excuse about every shot he hits. It’s never Rick’s fault, he always makes the right choice but gets uNlUcKy. Absolutely insufferable nowadays.
@@MosesMal0n3my boy, he’s doing a show! that’s like saying Bob Barker talks too much about prizes!
@@steviechampagnedo you actually watch the videos lad? Old vs. new and how much he’s changed?? I’ve been watching for years. On 14/18 holes he said “I didn’t quite strike it right”. That isn’t good content. If it’s not that, it’s the winds fault, or some other blasphemous nonsense. What’s he trying to gaslight his viewers into believing he’s scratch every single vid? We aren’t blind Rick, we know where you’ve been at with your game for a while. It’s just Rick being an all time waffler, and honestly a petulant child on the course trying to be something he’s not. He used to be a likable, relatable bloke. Judging by a majority of commenters, his audience feels the same way.
@@MosesMal0n3 spot on
@@MosesMal0n3. Trolling?
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.
Every time I hear Ceri's story about Hugh it chokes me up.... I CAN'T imagine... 🙏🏼❤️
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?
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
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.
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.
That putt on the 9th 🤦😆 we've all been there 🙏
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.
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.
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.
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
Hey Rick, but shout out from Australia! The course looks mint!
Congrats on the course record Rick
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 :)
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
Thanks Rick for showing us the hole course. 🤣 love the real golf ⛳️
Great video. Thank you for the best golf content on RUclips.
Well deserved honor. You’ve given much.
Course record for most birdie putts missed - all good rolls too 😂😢
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
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 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
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
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!
What an absolute pleasure to vicariously accompany you on this round Rick!!!!! Many thanks.
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
that ping putter has single handedly destroyed ricks golf season
Lol you mean whatever wedge he uses right? Lots of good long puts here
@@bobloblaw6960or whatever driver he uses except the Kirkland
@@hypent500 it's certainly not the putter.
thanks for the preview 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.
Stay tuff Ceri!
The comments are savage today, but course management has never been Rick's strong suit
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.
Loving the close-up slowmo shots after the putts
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!
He's only a pro in title. He earned that when he could actually play decent. Rick couldn't pass his PGA P.A.T. (Playing Ability Test) nowadays because his handicap is a 4 (or worse now) which is also why he didn't get invited as a golf content RUclipsr to the Myrtle Beach Qualifier...
@@3nCounting His handicap index would be loads lower than 4 with the 'new' handicap system... 🤷🏻♂️
Get to Aus Rick and play some of our courses.
Austria does have some amazing courses.
😂
@@morkusmorkus6040 haha, that’s Aut.
i’m so glad i became a member here
it truly is a gorgeous course
Nice work Rick. Beautiful course ⛳️
Lol Rick hit a straight shot challenge, bro always has to try to move the ball
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 😂
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.
Yes Rick! Brilliant of you to get this course loads of exposure
Should have used that Costco putter
Love ya shiels
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.
Anyone else get anxious watching the 3-iron not dropping into the bag there at the end?
I hear Guy just jumped in his car and dashed out there to set the course record!
this guy is like a fucking addict... "gotta make a birdie" - relentless.
That birdie putt on 9 was hilarious. Golf is the most manic-depressive game.
Really good looking course
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!
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👍
Good man Rick. Milestone achievement. Up and at ‘em!👍🏻
That first ever birdie putt is why we love watching you. You post all the game we all live with.
WHAT WITH THE CLICKBAIT THUMBNAIL?
I mean technically…
Made you click
Are you saying that you thought they'd turfed over the Thames?
Welcome to RUclips lol
And the course still aint see a birdie
Rick, the energy has been differently lately in a great way! Good stuff!
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 👍🏽
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 😂😂😂👍🏻
your clickbait is at an all time
Beautiful course!!
I was on the edge of my seat for every putt with you..
The reaction shots have been epic so far! “Three phenomenal chances!” I feel for you!
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.
They 100% asked Rick to play this first because they knew it would keep the fairways safe. 😂
😅😅 Lucky Lucky Boy!! Looks UNREAL.
Thanks Rick for great content yet again
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…
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
Love to see it, what a course!
Guy needs to go there and take the course record from you!
It should be easy for him! 😂😂😂
Rick is allergic to Birdies
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.
8:01 No more Texas wedge Rick! Those bounces ate up the speed. Trust yourself and your wedge game. You got this.
Great RS as always to follow your different golfrounds and golfideas,.. I also mean it is nice to have a course record!🤨✅🙏⛳️👍
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
How...HOW, can you play this much golf and still not improve? And on top of that, he is a golf professional! Just incredible.
That shot on 18 to shoot the course record was epic!
Missing a birdie shot from that distance. I feel you bro. I feel you 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
I hate the thumbnail
No views no comments?! I’m him
Just finished watching you use all the Kirkland clubs. I think you struck those clubs much better. I understand our swing can change from day to day but they did make the game look easier for you. Fantastic looking course all the same.
@ 22mins in you can see a ball hit a fairway 😂❤ great video rick, what an honor for first play!
You lot all hating on Rick but bet the majority couldn’t get anywhere near par on the course first time 😂
The question to ask, as you are a pro, why can't you hit the fairway??
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
Don't appreciate the Clickbait photo
Dude really ???
It’s clearly not real 😂 relax man
🤦🏻♂️
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!😭
Rick channeling his inner rory on that short put
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!
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
