Hard pass… I prefer not to loose my long range vision, and I can live with all my average stuff and my terrible slice that gets stuck in real mud. To me, THAT is happiness! There’s no achievement in a digital world that makes up for a lack of achievement in the real world.
Ive recently got the Quest 3. They're amazing! Way better than i expected. The most unusual thing about them is how comfortable you feel when in there and how "normal" it feels!
I’ve been a fan of Rick for a long time! I currently work as an employee at Meta so to hear Rick talk about his pros/cons and to have his finger on the pulse about the metaverse was very cool to see. The only bit I would object to is that the metaverse is not meant to take away time from real life, it is meant to enhance the experiences that we already have via 2D (which is already quite often). Either way, great video Rick and Iona!
Well, Rick is explaining escapism, which many of us engage in when times aren't great. Some drift off into entertainment, others their favorite adult beverages, but it all has the same purpose. To get our minds off of the reality we have created, which is most likely not what we imagined in our youth.
I haven’t played in years and was about to sell my quest2. Picked up golf + and man. Best decision I’ve made. Bought the club attachment and more DLc courses. Play on pro for as much realism that this game offers and it’s a great time. This game has made me want to pick my clubs up again
I've recently had an an op and can't cope with too much walking etc. I've got my VR up and running with the golf just so I can have a few gentle strokes and build my self up without any of the side issues of getting myself to a range or walking a course. It is spectacular!!!! If you are a cricketer..its the business!!
Ok. I 'm going to say it. I am in love with Iona.. Let's face it. She's talented. Smart. Out going. Genuine. Honest. Curious. And Independent. Plus she plays golf. If I were only 40 yrs younger. Lol. Cheers you two.
This was great, I really enjoy the casual style. You and Rick are right, this is the future and it is concerning how it could impact society. Also, I highly recommend reading “Ready Player One”, there is a movie too but it isn’t as good. It is all about a future where people live inside a virtual world. “The story, set in a dystopia in 2045, follows protagonist Wade Watts on his search for an Easter egg in a worldwide virtual reality game, the discovery of which would lead him to inherit the game creator's fortune.”
I've been playing Golf+ for a while now and love that the courses are so realistic. One thing I can't figure out though is whether it's improving my real-life golf or making it worse. I think it might improve my course management but I'm not sure about the swing. Do you have an opinion on that? If I play Golf+ an hour a day, will it mess up my swing completely or will it improve my golf?
In my Metaverse, Iona and Rick would be entertaining me still, I'd be slimmer, younger and both knees would work. But my wife and kids would still be my wife and kids.
“Ready player one” movie If you haven’t seen it Rick, (which I think you must have,) do watch it!! Good vid mate. The golf on Oculus Q2 is pretty good.
I have this game. It is AMAZING and very fun. I would like to know how close the golf shot analyzer is in reality. You can play several real courses. A stand-alone machine. Great for winter I think.??? Getting back to real golf, I think this screwed me up. I could hardly hit a real ball. Id love to play Rick on the oculus sometme. Even in the game id get spanked. i adjusted my power to match my real swing. Made it more realistic.
When Rick said it scared him I thought of the movie Avatar. The main character was paralyzed from the waist down but was fully mobile when driving his avatar. If I remember correctly (someone correct me if I'm wrong), the head scientist said that he needed to take care of his body when he was not connected. This is what I see happening to many people. A terrifying possibility.
I remember a movie called Lawnmower Man that used similar technology but way back when it was in its infancy. Scary story line but looking at kids now it could be a reality
it would be great if the feedback from the "club" was truly the same weight and captured the path with 100% (or near) accuracy and you could actually use this as a training aid! I would sign up immediately!
Great stuff - I got the meta 2 and enjoy it a lot. You should video highlight (and enjoy) some other features of the game. Check out single-player or practice - then do an analyzer. It shows the path and face. Also, practice any shot from putting to approaching and driver. Then, shall I take a breath, try the single player closest to the pin. This is very fun. Cheers.
VR is SO exciting but has been hamstrung by controls, tech power, low res, uncomfortable equipment etc. These are improving all the time, though. We really need more publishers to make great games & software - it's so frustrating! It's the usual hardware/software, chicken & egg scenario. The opportunities for leisure & training are really interesting. Sad that Meta got hold of Oculus - investment is good, but I get the feeling they'll try to over-control it & tie it too closely to FaceBook etc.
A movie that shows your (Rick's) fears about reality gaming. "Ready Player One" It's a good movie and fun to watch. Everyone is looking for a way to escape is one of first few lines. Enjoy
This has made me really sad. I feel like the zuck is just around the corner pointing at the words they need to say. Literally no one cares about the metaverse. It's dead. VR golf is great though and has been for years.
My god what is with people freaking out lol. This sh has been happening since we got internet access on our phones. Escaping reality didn’t start with VR lmao. And no one is in position to judge each other without knowing where we all come from to say that it is _______. And yes, it’s unfortunate that technology is kinda driven by money rather than innovation first but that has also been our predictable reality/future
first hand I've seen the effect of smartphones on young kids... it's not great. many are detached from the real world. VR will put this on steroids. concerning for sure... we all need to be diacussing the simple question of "just because we can do it, should we do it?"
Personally, the lack of wind\air resistance and the missing moment of torque through impact is a let down. I played a few rounds in VR and lost interest.
Word of advice. Do not use this a a practice option for real golf. It will mess up you real life golf game. Topping the ball. As well as missing the ball completely is what I dealt with.
STOP EQUATING VR WITH THE METAVERSE! They are two separate things. I've had Oculus since its inception before Meta bought it and never once stepped foot in the Metaverse. The Metaverse is a failed attempt at social VR created by Meta. It has nothing to do with Golf+, which is the game you are using. When you say VR is the Metaverse, new users are turned off because of the bad connotations they've heard of Meta. There's so much more to VR than the Metaverse and you never have to even acknowledge it. VR NOT METAVERSE
The future is coming. Ha 🙌⛳️
Fancy a round of meta golf soon Rick? I love that game it’s class
Rick can I suggest getting the elite harness for the oculus it’s increases the comfort
My fav game on quest! @kevo348 if you fancy a round!! 😀😀
I just got this 2 days ago and cannot stop playing it. I can’t wait for this to come out on the PSVR 2 so I can play in 4k in a few months
Hard pass… I prefer not to loose my long range vision, and I can live with all my average stuff and my terrible slice that gets stuck in real mud. To me, THAT is happiness! There’s no achievement in a digital world that makes up for a lack of achievement in the real world.
This VR game just got way better after the last physics update. No more power meter, just your swing to judge the distance.
Ive recently got the Quest 3. They're amazing! Way better than i expected. The most unusual thing about them is how comfortable you feel when in there and how "normal" it feels!
Always fun to watch conversations with Iona and Rick!
That Augusta National vest. Sick flex by Iona :-)
I have it it's amazing for winter when I can't golf.
Love Iona and Rick, she is a great combination. 👍
❤ agreed

For many people, golf is also a form of escapism tbh.
As is RUclips...
If I can’t go outside to play golf for some reason this would be a way better alternative than watching TV for an hour 🤷🏻♂️
I haven’t played in years and was about to sell my quest2. Picked up golf + and man. Best decision I’ve made. Bought the club attachment and more DLc courses. Play on pro for as much realism that this game offers and it’s a great time. This game has made me want to pick my clubs up again
Beautiful and terrifying. Great video 👍
Great idea, at least you can get a tee time.
cheaper booze at the 19th too

Stumbled upon this channel. Keep it up!

I find her absolutely stunning. She’s gorgeous to look at and also wonderful to listen to. I’d love to spend some time with her on the golf course
You are not the only one. What a wonderful person she is. Such a legend.
I say the same thing every time I see her
Isn't that where ur avatar steps in?😵💫
lol. dont let your wife see this will!

It would be bad ass to play with Rick on oculus I love this game
Hey Rick. Do a video on the swing analyzer portion of the oculus. Either it isnt that close or, my swing is a mess.
I've played the golf on it.. It is realistic but also doesn't mirror my actual swing but also haven't messed with the strength settings
My niece has 1 of these things think I'll have to give it a go
In my Metaverse, Iona and Rick would be entertaining me still, I'd be slimmer, younger and both knees would work. But my wife and kids would still be my wife and kids.
“Ready player one” movie
If you haven’t seen it Rick, (which I think you must have,) do watch it!!
Good vid mate. The golf on Oculus Q2 is pretty good.
I had a shot of my nephews VR and was playing the table tennis, honestly nearly fell about 5 times trying to lean on the table 😂🙈
I have this game. It is AMAZING and very fun. I would like to know how close the golf shot analyzer is in reality. You can play several real courses. A stand-alone machine. Great for winter I think.???
Getting back to real golf, I think this screwed me up. I could hardly hit a real ball. Id love to play Rick on the oculus sometme. Even in the game id get spanked.
i adjusted my power to match my real swing. Made it more realistic.
I need this !
Got the kids the oculus last Xmas, didn’t know golf was on it, I know what I’m doing tomorrow and it doesn’t involve working 😄
Which golf grip attachment did you buy?
When Rick said it scared him I thought of the movie Avatar. The main character was paralyzed from the waist down but was fully mobile when driving his avatar. If I remember correctly (someone correct me if I'm wrong), the head scientist said that he needed to take care of his body when he was not connected. This is what I see happening to many people.

I wouldn't mind an Ionaverse!! 😁😁🥰🥰
I live on a golf course but I play golf + more now than on the links🤣🤣🤣
it would be great if the feedback from the "club" was truly the same weight and captured the path with 100% (or near) accuracy and you could actually use this as a training aid! I would sign up immediately!
What club attachment are they using
You are so much fun too watch. My goal is to one day meet you that would be so cool
Great stuff - I got the meta 2 and enjoy it a lot. You should video highlight (and enjoy) some other features of the game. Check out single-player or practice - then do an analyzer. It shows the path and face. Also, practice any shot from putting to approaching and driver. Then, shall I take a breath, try the single player closest to the pin. This is very fun. Cheers.
When you play VR golf do you notice that it matches how you normally play golf or is it not that precise?
You have to set the power meter to like 84% because 300% will give you unrealistic distances way further than you can hit it in real life .
@@boomboombaby9140 Noted! How about the direction, slice etc?
How bizzare.... I have an oculas with this golf game, and when I'm playing on it, I watch rick shiels.
Up for a game rick?
Where is best place to get the golf grip for this game. To UK address .
Great game didn't know about that attachment
What golf controller was that?
is that the actual graphics? i mean it looks like graphics from long time ago. or is it better with the vr goggles `?
So you buy the Meta 2 headset and then what's the name of the game that Rick is playing?
Ping pong is cool too. Play long enough and you literally try to put the paddle down on the “table” and it isn’t there lol.
Great fun. Where did you buy the club attachment with the real grip?
Enjoyed the video, I have this game, it’s on offer on the oculus app, pity the golf grip attachments are so expensive compared to the game!
The beginning of the end.
Honestly I mostly stopped playing golf when I got the Oculus.
Total Ready Player One vibes
Ready player one. Same deal.
Lawn mower man in the 90s
VR is SO exciting but has been hamstrung by controls, tech power, low res, uncomfortable equipment etc. These are improving all the time, though.

I love that game, would like to lose to you on there sometime. Wouldn't even be close.
Try exVRience golf.. it’s the best one in my opinion.
Reject the metaverse
Oh and you can go into night clubs....and meet people from all over the world there/their avatars. Crazy
How do I order the attachment for golf?
Amazon
Tried my grandsons. Was dancing with a robot. Scary world you can get lost in. I can see people trading in this world for that one.😟👍🙏
A movie that shows your (Rick's) fears about reality gaming. "Ready Player One" It's a good movie and fun to watch. Everyone is looking for a way to escape is one of first few lines. Enjoy
It's all very Black Mirror...
The "Ready Player One" world is coming...
More like “Rick are you free?”
“Ugh! Wth Iona!?! It’s 3 in the morning! Ricky needs his 8 hours of bs (beauty sleep)!”
What the name of the game they are playing?
Golf+
I’ve got news for you Rick, you can’t play Oculus in a dark room! 😂… I’m currently ranked top 50 in the world on Golf+
This has made me really sad. I feel like the zuck is just around the corner pointing at the words they need to say. Literally no one cares about the metaverse. It's dead. VR golf is great though and has been for years.
When you think of it. Rick has never been a guest at anyones channel till since goodgood
Really it's pretty old tech, just re-hashed in a different form.
so is a Model Y
My god what is with people freaking out lol. This sh has been happening since we got internet access on our phones. Escaping reality didn’t start with VR lmao. And no one is in position to judge each other without knowing where we all come from to say that it is _______.
And yes, it’s unfortunate that technology is kinda driven by money rather than innovation first but that has also been our predictable reality/future
God she’s cute
it won't be that great, Zuckerberg is at the helm
first hand I've seen the effect of smartphones on young kids... it's not great. many are detached from the real world. VR will put this on steroids. concerning for sure... we all need to be diacussing the simple question of "just because we can do it, should we do it?"
Any Golf+ centuryclub members here?
Personally, the lack of wind\air resistance and the missing moment of torque through impact is a let down. I played a few rounds in VR and lost interest.
Word of advice. Do not use this a a practice option for real golf. It will mess up you real life golf game. Topping the ball. As well as missing the ball completely is what I dealt with.
Rick, love ya, but come on... how much did Facebook pay to have you keep brand-dropping "Metaverse" and "Oculus Quest".
STOP EQUATING VR WITH THE METAVERSE! They are two separate things. I've had Oculus since its inception before Meta bought it and never once stepped foot in the Metaverse. The Metaverse is a failed attempt at social VR created by Meta. It has nothing to do with Golf+, which is the game you are using.

Ready Player One
NO THANKS
There’s sexual tension between Iona and Rick…
... except you won't be able to connect in China. They have a government created firewall in place.
It will not be as popular as Rick thinks.
