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.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

I love how engaging and genuine Tom is with Rick. Seems like he was genuinely having a good time.
A true gentleman
Tom's just a great guy like that, always has been. Feel like he's been forgotten about the last 8 or 10 years
I couldn’t agree more
Fantastic video Rick. Got Tom’s autograph after the 2019 Seniors Open at St Andrews. He signed my Lesdons of
Tom Watson is my favourite golfer by miles Often a winner and comes across as such a nice guy. But he was just the same when he lost. Best bad weather golfer ever.
When your stories start with..."well, I was tied with Seve..." you know you're a legend!
Seve*
Yeah, right. 😆
I shot an 83 Monday and a 103 today. I don’t think people realize how consistently good the legends were and honestly still are.
Seve made a beautiful birdy on 18, and unfortunately Tom couldn't save his par from tight up against the wall. A two shot swing that sealed the Open that year. One of the great Open stories.
@@elliotwills9785 gud catch
Tom’s feat of almost winning the Open at age 60 ranks as one of my favorite golf moment and is arguably one of the most impressive feat accomplished in golf.
Mate I was in tears when he missed the putt. He hit such a great iron shot that just rode the wind too much. It would have been the greatest sporting achievement in history in my opinion. I find it tough to watch it back, always hope the outcome will be different. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹. Still an amazing achievement all the same.
I second this. I have never been more nervous watching a golf tournament than I was during the 2009 Open. Had Tom Watson won, that would have been the greatest moment in golf history.
@Baronarx V
Doug Sanders moment.
Tom's voice is smooth as silk.
Bearing in mind that you must have been extremely nervous that was some of your best ball striking I’ve seen. What an honour to have played with Tom.
Ditto.
My thoughts exactly. Good for Rick!
Amazing Rick! Way to go with one of the best ever!
Wow.
Imagine the feeling of playing with an absolute living Legend.
Tom must be over the moon.
Woah, I found JO PO outside of a joe rogan video!
Underrated comment 😂😂😂
Jo Po, the RUclips comment section goat
😂😂😂😂 🥇 🙌🏾
Lol
What an honour to be able to have done this. Mr Watson is a living legend of the modern game.
Hi Rick! Loved this video of you and Tom Watson playing at the Old Course. My wife and I were on a cruise ship excursion and we were fortunate enough to meet you on this very day. Seeing you and Tom Watson was the highlight of our entire GB cruise! Thank you so much for taking the time to take a selfie with us!
So cool - you were there during the filming? Good stuff.
@@GolfQuestChannel I was there either right before or right after their 3 hole round. They were filming some kind of a putting contest on the 18th green when I arrived. It was such a highlight.
@@fillpotadventures Very cool. Great timing.
I'd love to hear Tom Watson do audiobooks. What an awesome voice
Just chatting to Jim Nantz
@@david-dk8ik that’s too much vocal beauty for one setting lol
He was so good on abc in the booth and his interview with Charlie Rose after the loss is incredible.
Rick's ability to 'walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch' is why his channel is one of the best on RUclips. Cheers Rick!
Exactly. Rick, unlike many young adults, has the ability to effectively blend wit with respect. And Tom Watson definitely deserves respect because he has always been a class act.
Tom Watson is an absolute legend and gentleman. Scotland loves you and thank you for everything you have given to golf
💯
Man, Tom is just great. Humble, sincere, awesome.
That was incredible. I have 3 sons. Two played high school and college golf. The oldest played about 6 years on the mini tours and actually won twice. They all grew up in the 70s and 80s while Tom Watson was the best golfer on the planet. Mr Watson is considered a deity in my family. It took our family a good three months to get over the disappointing loss to Stewart Cink. None of us to this day have anything kind to say about Mr Cink ( just kidding). Tom’s memory is phenomenal. We saw him play at the Greater Greensboro Open the year he was first Ryder cup captain. After the Friday round he came out of the scorers tent and found my boys because he noticed the intense cheering squad that followed him for 2 days. He spent a good 30 minutes talking with them. They were thrilled. In 1997 my oldest son and I were at the Masters and found Tom on the Third tee waiting for the fairway to clear. Brian was in the front row wearing a Ram hat. Tom saw him and joked that he liked his hat. Brian replied that he liked Tom’s hat also. The crowd laughed. Then Tom looked at my son and said I remember you from Greensboro. Is your dad here. Brian said yes and Tom waved and spoke to me. Great memories from a great man.
Awesome story, thanks for sharing the great memories with your sons and interacting with Tom.
Incredible story!
Oh that loss at Turnberry was crushing. Tom was so so close. After he hit his tee shot on 18 I thought he had it. That second shot killed him. Oh so so close.
God bless Tom Watson - he always seems like such a great soul with a genuine smile and heart. What a legend.
LEGEND
I worked the The 2010 U.S. Senior Open at Sahalee and Tom treated us workers like peasants. He so charming to the cameras as displayed here.
He’s not like that at all.
@@KarlsCracklingCottonMouth what exactly did he do? If you volunteered to work at a tournament, what is a player in the tournament supposed to treat you like? Did he walk by you and spit in your faces? Is he supposed to go around and hand out 100 dollar bills to you? smh Unless you can be specific and documented any so called bad behavior, you should keep your pie hole shut.
@@pb12661He has a right to talk about his experience with Tom, just like all of you with your positive opinions of the man. Id like to hear what he did specifically, but it shouldnt shock anyone that celebrities arent always the pleasant people they are on camera.
Can we just acknowledge the quality of content that Rick puts out. This is unbelievable. The opportunity to see St. Andrews this close up. Unbelievable.
Tom is such a good and understanding guy. I feel like I could sit down and listen to his golf story's all day
Tom Watson is a certified Legend !!
Agreed!
As a senior player myself its gratifying to see him use that smooth stroke with excellent results. Its not all about power and club seed. What a gentleman!
Don't reply to the scammer
@@andrewford80 thanks for the heads up.
Walking up the 18th hole at St Andrews with a 5 time open champion and all around nice guy Tom Watson, doesn't get any better than that ⛳
Well said and totally agree with you.
Is there a better gentleman than Tom Watson, a total pleasure to watch. Well done Rick, thank you!
Tom is class man. What a legend. He’s so humble and kind. Would love to play a round with him.
What a class act he is! Loved seeing the respect and level of concentration Rick gave each shot. That has to be a top 10 lifetime golfing memory👏
That might be top 3 for Rick
Getting to play with Tom just goes to show the outstanding work you’ve done to promote golf in the best possible way.
Well done Rick a true ambassador for our much loved sport
What a tremendous honor to get to play with Tom.....great upload Rick!
I'm convinced that Tom just doesn't age. And he's still got an incredible full swing
Imagine having permission from one of the all time GOATs of golf “to, turn it loose man” what great video Rick and team 👏👏👏
To be fair, if I had such permission, it'd probably be followed by a 200 yard slice out of bounds. Look of disappointment all round!
@@philthewriter yeah or top it just off the front of the tee box 🤣
How nervous would you be if he said that? And you’d try to hit it as hard as you could and end up topping it.
The fact that Rick is both featured on the Open channel, and given this opportunity to play there, and can have such a legendary playing partner, is a true testament to his impact as an ambassador for the game. We know, and so do they. Good on ya Rick!
what an absolute honour to play golf with Tom, my golf hero, undoubtedly the best links golfer in my lifetime
This has got to be one of my favorite videos of the year. Tom seems like the most down to earth person ever. Great video!
Indeed. Well said.
I have to admit, I got emotional watching you play with Mr. Watson. Such a champion and great ambassador of the game. Well done.
Rick, honestly, one of the best videos you ever did. Tom is one of the most genuine, true ambassadors of the game. What a joy to watch!!!
As a kid I followed Watson for 18 holes in the legendary Duel in the Sun when he defeated Nicklaus with a record score for the Open. So I saw his favourite shot on the 18th at Turnberry. Absolute legend...
Tom Watson’s book “Getting Up and Down from 40 yards and in…” was one of the first instructional books I bought back in the mid-1980s when I got serious about learning the game. He suggested two drills which I did which vastly improved my vision and understanding of shot making around the green. First he suggested going to the range and hitting every iron and wedge starting with 1/4 swings, then progressing to 1/2, 3/4 and full while observing and comparing elevation, carry and roll distances. Then armed with that new encyclopedia of golf knowledge go out and practice at a short game area hitting shots with all the clubs from 40, 30, 20, and 10 yards. It made me realize that in many situations from 40 yards and in there are better odds of keeping the ball on the green and closer to the hole with a partial swing with a mid-iron vs. just reaching for 60° lob wedge. I also a few years ago read his retrospective book “The Timeless Swing” in which he reflects on how his approach to the game evolved. I still play with a PING Pal putter similar to the one he used to win the Open and other majors and try to channel his spirt when I put, telling my playing partners I got the putter when I joined the “Tom Watson Psychic Friends Network” 😂.
Nice post Teddy… 👍might have to see if the book is still available.
can’t wait for this weekend’s 150th
Thanks! This post reminded me that I have his “Getting Up and Down” book and used to refer to it a lot. So I just pulled it off the shelf and will go through it again. My short game needs a lot of work!
Wonderful comments. A learning experience.
After watching so many of ricks video's.. I can't explain the smile it brings to me to see Rick hit the balls so well in what must have been so important to him by to show up and play his best.. class
Thank you soooooo much for managing to have Tom Watson as your partner. No matter what quality of golf is played, the social dynamics were all that mattered. Loved it!!!
What a humble and entertaining man Tom is and still a great golfer. Well done Rick for getting to play with him
Rick you have come a long way ! From reviewing clubs to making legendary content.
Isn't it a crazy journey? He has worked hard - no doubt - but he seems to be appreciative of where he has landed.
@@GolfQuestChannel his personality in front of the camera has come a long way too.
My face aches from smiling all the way through that vid. Two gentlemen of golf.
This is by far my favorite video to watch of yours, Rick! What an honor to walk along side Tom Watson and play St Andrews! Absolutely amazing!!
That was priceless. This is why I love watching your channel Rick. Playing the old course with a legend like Tom and bringing back all those memories. The conversation so engaging that I selfishly wanted to see more. Bravo!
I'm so pleased for you Rick. You've worked really hard, given some amazing golf advice, created outstanding content and now - you just played 4 x holes with Tom Watson!!! Legends - both of you.
Wow! What an experience that must of been. Tom Watson, an absolute legend!
Yeah Tom really kept his nerve well playing with Shielsy
What an honor it must be to play a few holes with a true golf legend and gentleman. Fun to watch.
Absolutely a joy to watch Tom Watson hit a golf ball again, especially at St. Andrews.
What a legend Tom is. This is one of my all-time favorite videos of yours, Rick
Could not agree more...
Just an incredible sight to see Tom Watson at St. Andrews once again. Tremendous shotmaking by both of you to finish level par. I wonder how much more nervous month one of making content Rick would have been compared to present Rick.
The US & UK meet again.....another stunning and super fun video from Mr. Shiels, and thanks a million to the joy that Tom Watson still brings his fans and viewers!!!
Tom Watson is one of my few remaining golf heroes who hasn’t failed me - what a joy to watch this.
Fabulous watch. What a terrific gem of a guy Tom is. There was clearly some golfing chemistry between Rick and Tom, loved it. Well done Rick ❤️
Tom Watson is a true legend and a gentleman of the game. Thanks Rick and Thank you Mastercard!
There used to be a champions tour major event in Portland, OR every year. My dad worked for Jeld-Wen who was the title sponsor.
One year, he got to work a practice round and brought me with him so I could walk around and watch these guys play before the tournament started and it would be hard for me to see. I was probably 10-11 at the time but already loved golf.
I decided to follow Tom Watson around for a couple holes, and on the third or fourth, he came over and said “how you doing today young man?”
I could barely talk but said “good Mr Watson. “
Then he said he’d seen me following him for a couple holes and asked if I would want to walk with him and his caddie and help him for the next couple.
Absolute class act. He made me a fan for life. He didn’t need to do that at all but knew he’d make my day.
There's nobody in golf I respect more than Tom Watson.. he's a true class act
Rick, your content the last year or so has been on an entirely new level. Congrats on getting these amazing opportunities, and thank you for sharing them with us!
Well said!
Wow what a Gentleman Tom Watson is! Absolute living legend!
Tom has been my favorite golfer since I was a kid, bless you Rick for having him on!!!
It always a good watch when two people can speak so passionately about the thing they love and its a genuine back and fourth and everyone is just having a great time. Great video Rick
So much love for Tom, modest man with a friendly attitude and was class to see him sharing a lot and swinging so well!!
Always loved watching Tom play. He’s such a good dude.
Thank you for that... It was wonderful to see Tom Watson playing again... A real gentleman...
My favourite video that Rick Shiels has produced. I could watch Tom Watson all day. That was incredible!
Wow, this is by far one of my fav videos from Rick, as great as Tom is, he is genuinely down to earth and sincere. Just amazing piece
Love it. Tom is a true gentleman. And his insights into his grand passed experiences are priceless. The Home of Golf, nothing else comes close!
This is probably my favorite video of all you have made. It`s like playing golf with your Grandad only your Grandad is a living legend. Amazing!!
Pure class and sportsmanship. The game needs more Tom Watsons.
Had the great pleasure of meeting him a couple of days before this was filmed at Monifieth GC where he took his first ever shot in links golf in '75 before winning the Open at Carnoustie.An absolute gentleman.He was there "incognito" & it just had "Watson - Visitor" on the BRS 🤣.He chatted away to us for 10-15mins before we teed off - true legend
Been watching golf and most sports all my life(50 years), and Tom Watson was always one of those elite professionals that you never heard a negative word about. Like NEVER! The guy always maintained a level of humbleness paired with confidence that few elite professionals exuded.
I love Tom but there has been negativity from time to time with Tom
Oh Rick, you lucky, lucky guy! What an absolute privilege to walk and play with Tom.
That voice of Tom’s. Just pleasing to listen too. He could voice documentaries or books on tape.
What a great video!! The interaction. The history. Hearing Tom’s thoughts on the course and each hole. And last but certainly not least his still smooth swing. I’ll be watching this quite a few more times.
Epitome of a Gentleman, Tom is such a class act, could listen to his stories for hours !
Great Job Rick !
To hear Tom about his experiences is just great - one of best episodes on the channel Rick
Pure class. What an honor to be in the presence of Mr. Tom Watson. He is the example of a man I wish to be.
This warmed my heart so much. Absolute class from Shielsy, Tom, the production as well. This was top of the pops Rick. To see Tom's swing still smooth as ever at his age was a real treat.
this is great. what a legend of the game. watched this with a smile on my face the whole time.
THE gentleman of golf. What an honor. Keep up the great videos Rick!
Excellent, Vlog Rick. Mr. Watson is a first class ambassador for the game. My father and I had the privilege of meeting him and playing a few holes at a corporate MasterCard event hosted in New York. It was the thrill of a lifetime and a moment I will never forget! Cheers 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯👍👍
I remember when I was 4-5 years old Watson and Steve were my favorite tour pros. What a treat to play with one of the GOATs of the game.
Tom is my golfing idol and I want to thank you sooo much for doing this. I only got to see him play in person twice. Such a treat!!!!
This is definitely on of my favorite videos you’ve ever done! The great Tom Watson enjoying a stroll. Awesome!!!
I would say this is one of your best videos ever. What an absolute gentleman Tom Watson is. It was such a pleasure watching your interaction with him.
Only watched 7 minutes so far and Tom seems to an absolute gentlemen...... And some golfer.
You're doing okay as well Rick!
So awesome!!! A memory you’ll never forget,,,good for you Rick.
Rick thats a memory you will have till your last breath. Playing with an absolute "LEGEND" Mr Tom Watson. I love your Channel. This Ole man from Australia got teary eyed at the end of the video. Thankyou so much for posting this video Rick. love ya mate
What a genuine man and over flowing with class. I’m talking about Tom. 🤣🤣
Wow - Rick must be pinching himself after that experience! I'm so glad Rick played well, under some pressure - and doesn't Tom still hit a lovely ball?! Huge respect to Tom, a true legend of the game, and a real class act. 🙂
Gotta love Tom Watson. So good.
Well done Rick. You've done incredibly well to get to this stage and now to be playing this course with people like Tom Watson must feel pretty special.
Tom Watson with five Opens, a playoff at age 59, and such a gentleman too. His “Swing for a Lifetime” remains on my bookshelf and so admired in the UK. Two of my favorite instructors sharing the Olde Course. Made my evening!
What a lovely guy and a legend. Tom's a nice guy too 🤣🤣
What an absolute pioneer & ultimate legend of the game... & of course Tom Watson😋
Never mind the quality of golf..the quality of the man tom is really shines through. Great video and loved how engaged he is with you and the natural chatter.
Tom would be so fun to play with. All the stories, and excellent at helping me read those treacherous greens! Great guy.
What an engaging and welcoming person Tom is. He's talking to Rick like he's known him for years. No ego, and just a genuine legend.
You've inspired me to get back into Golf after my dad passed, and I'd like to say thank you, it's the best thing I've done 💙
Thank you Rick.
I haven't, since my partner died. I can't seem to be motivated.
Rick, of all the great playing content you've posted over the years, this is my favorite. Playing with a golf icon and having a little fun. As you can tell, I'm a bit of a Tom Watson fanboy, so I really enjoyed seeing him hit shots again. Thanks very much for making my day. Incidentally, you hit it great! Well done.
I’ve had some colleagues meet and play a few holes with Tom prior to a past open and have said he is just about the nicest guy you could ever meet. What a legend and what a great video Rick. What an honour to experience this one and have it recorded for history……amazing. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Man I’m nervous just watching you play with Tom Watson. Good job!
Tom has always been a favorite of mine. He's just so sincere and down to earth. What a great video!
That has left me with goosebumps, what a great piece. The best club in a different format and what an absolute gent was Mr Watson. He was legendary. So open and giving, nice just what a guy. Loved it. And yes living legend is right 100%
That was great Rick. What an opportunity. To play the Old Course with one of the true gentlemen of golf. Thank you for that video. Tom Watson always one of my favorites. And you also Rick
What a gent, totally engaging and not the slightest air of superiority. What a guy.
