@@DanielSong39they also not having caddies like they have on your who tell exactly what to do. I’ve been caddied twice and both times broke 80 when I usually shoot high 80s
On the 18th : "just shut up Rick" 😂 and then the genuine look of relief shows how competitive and serious Tommy was taking this. Love it. I was rooting for you Rick, but the top guys really do play at a different level even to your pro level. Please, please do more games like this with other top players - love seeing the non-tour side of them where they can relax a little.
Genuinely brilliant. Just have to say, this is exactly what I hope to see when looking for golf videos on RUclips. It's the perfect content. A round of golf with two golfers chatting and having a laugh and competing, perfection. Tommy is absolute class too. Great video Rick.
That's really cool to see one of the greatest players in the world in such a casual environment. Seeing them playing on tour is so surreal, but this makes them look human. Awesome stuff Rick.
The speed on Tommy’s putts is unbelievable. He put every ball 6 inches past the hole with a rental putter he’d never used before. Stress free two putts are such a game changer, even the best putters miss a couple 3 or 4 footers every once in a while so eliminating that from your game is massive.
It's great to see a pro playing golf outside of a tournament, reminding everyone that they can be humble, and are just one of the guys. Tommy was impressive as always, and Rick you did a heck of a job!
I’ve seen a few interviews and other related things and Tommy is always the same. He’s very down to earth and he has a very calm way about him. A great episode Rick 👍
This is by far the best one of these. Loved the Adam Scott video but Tommy is on a whole different level - so humble, helpful and respectful. No snide comments, just encouragement. Genuine nice guy. He's got a new fan! Great video Rick - and well played!

This made me an even bigger fan of Tommy Fleetwood than I already am. Amazing stuff being able to see how everyone should just enjoy the game. TF makes those 220 yard shots look effortless! Cheers.
Always appreciated Tommy and that went through the roof when he did that surprise video with the UK doctor during covid, tons of respect. Would love a Tommy Fleetwood signed anything.
I will forever be rooting for Tommy in every tournament going forward. Total class act. If he were to tell me “Nice shot”, or “Well done” just once, I could die a happy man.
"Are you not entertained?!" When the video loaded I wasn't sure I wanted to dedicate 49 minutes of my life to watch this but man, I'm glad I did. So entertaining. What a great human being Fleetwood is. Great job Rick and your crew!
I loved how Tommy just seemed like any one of us playing golf in a group competing against our mates. Other than how well he hits the ball and his putting, so damn good. Every putt pretty much made the hole but never went more than a couple feet past at most, normally just a tap in. He seems like a great guy. Can’t tell you how much I loved this video. Just brilliant.
Always love to watch these great tour players “giving something back”. What a gentleman Tommy is. I had the great fortune to play with Lee Westwood, many years back, in a team event, and it’s just awe-inspiring to watch these great players strike the ball and see their course-management first hand. Hats off to you, Tommy and all of you great players (not forgetting our wonderful host who manages to set up some great matches!)
Tommy should 100% start a channel. He’s got the personality and quick wit! I think it would be fun to watch some range sessions and pick up tips here and there.
My favorite watch for 5 years. Loved every minute of that. This is the future Rick, please, please more of these. What a great bloke Tommy is. Superstar!! The one thing that really stands out when watching a tour pro is pace control on those putts. Amazing!
Hey Rick! Been a long time fan and subscriber. I feel like the only difference I've been seeing recently is confidence. You seemed like tour pro when I first started watching with how you carried yourself and went about each shot, whereas now you seem to second guess yourself and set expectation lower. You're a beast man! To this day, your content is untouchable and by far the best on RUclips, but you got this man!! Keep your head up after bad shots and "vision" a good shot before stepping over the ball. You told me that sometime last year and ever since I think about it before every single golf shot I hit. Love you man!!
Love hearing all the little things Tommy says to himself as he plays. "Stay in the present." "Stay patient." Real nice insight into the mind of an elite tour pro.
Rick Shiels, excellent golfer and PGA pro. “Break 80, over the moon.” Tommy Fleetwood, PGA Tour pro. “Anything under par is acceptable.” Shows how tough being a PGA pro like Rick is and then the tier above him. That’s just top few in the world.
Honestly it just made me realize that Rick isn't that good LMAO. I've been bingeing a few of his videos now and his short game is remarkably poor for being a "pro". Especially at the end there - not being able to make a bogey on the final hole to win the match is just embarrassing. Still, he played well. But I don't think his play earns him the "pro" title as much as his knowledge does.
@Rishab Sharma How often do you get out for a round with a Top 25 player in the world...??? Exactly, NEVER! So to even be able to keep pace would be an achievement you SHILL!! Club pro's and or teaching pro's only hav to accomplish the bare minimum to get their 'pat' ... WHAT AN ASSHAT U ARE FOR PUTTING HIM AND/OR HIS GAME DOWN...!!! Ricks attitude is ALWAYS jolly and his views on the golf game are normally on point... Best thing to do when ya dont have anything positive to say is just keep ur cockholster shut!!!
@@rishabhsharma5610 I think one key thing you’re missing is the difficulty of the course. An average player like myself would struggle to break 100 I’m sure, whereas on my local courses I carry give or take a 13 handicap averaging 85-86 strokes. Rick wasn’t going to bring a top 50 player like Tommy to an average run of the mill public course. An 82 is still remarkable at places like this, as some pros shoot even worse on some days. Just food for thought. Also this guy is top 50. There’s a reason for that, obviously Rick is worthy of being on tour. But he won’t be top 50 right now as that’s just a whole other level of play.
Absolute joy to watch, Tommy is a class act. Putting is other-worldly, even when they're not going in they're so damn close. Amazing to see the difference between somebody who's better than 99.9% of people, and the truly elite. Shame you can't wrangle him into doing lots more content - excellent video, thanks!
This was such a good watch and how humble Tommy is even though he is a tour pro, you never really see pro golfers playing outside of tournaments for videos but that just shows how class Tommy is
This video encompasses EVERYTHING that we love about the game. The internal challenges, overcoming adversity and true sportsmanship. Classy move by Tommy participating, he seems like a really down to earth pro. Well played both!
Congratulations to the RSG production crew. The steady camera work and excellent sound, despite the rain and wind, made us feel like were were on the course with you. Tommy is the pro I'd aspire to emulate if I possessed his skill. I look forward to more Fleetwood appearances on this channel.
This is low-key probably the best golf video on youtube. Amazing concept, great camera work, great editing. Just phenomenal entertainment! Cheers Rick!
Rick: "It's a tie!" Tommy: "Can't believe I only beat him by 10 strokes" Well done, Rick. Give me a 10 shot lead, and I would have only lost by about 57 on that course.
Really cool to see a pro playing through these conditions, remain cordial throughout the match and most of all give encouragement to Rick. A great example of sportsmanship to all of us.
Really impressed with the level of golf in this video, one of my favorites from Rick. Cold and rainy weather, 7300 yards, carrying bags 18 holes, and no caddies on a beast of a golf course. Being from the US I don't know many golfers crazy enough to even step up to the first tee in these conditions. Tommy and Rick are legit!
I really enjoyed Tommy talking about his course management. I know he didn’t go too in depth with it, but just that glimpse into how he thinks about where he’s aiming was good to listen to.
I just love how positive Tommy is no matter the situation he puts himself into. Always present on every hole! Love to watch this guy play. Love the video!
Love every second of this video, seeing the world class player plays a round like a normal buddy is such an inspiring scene. Rick also did very well, I can imagine the pressure he faced, but he still handled quite well, very impressive!
Videos like this make you appreciate how difficult golf is, the recovery shots that professionals make to save a par or even a bogey are insane. Wish more tour pros would do videos like this, says so much about Tommy, what a down to earth guy absolutely love that.
Love how Tommy was just like one of the lads and craicing away. Absolutely none of the pretence you might have expected from one of the world's best players!
Always knew Tommy was a very dangerous player, always the potential to give any tournament a real run, but just loved seeing him from the other side (and with a rental putter). What a great guy and one of my favorite matches I've seen. Well done Rick.
This was really entertaining. I love listening to Tommy and watching him play. I really like when you bring the pros on the show. Thanks for all you do for your supporters.
What an epic video, sir! Truly, smiling the entire 48 minute run time. Thank you for bringing the joy of golf to RUclips and letting us be a part of your own journey.
Credit to Tommy for giving up his time to make this . He seems like an absolutely top bloke and he made that course look easy ! A great round and a great match! :) Well done Rick for holding your own!
Tommy is one of my favorite pros. Just seems down to earth and he’s clearly a really good golfer. Seems like someone you’d want to play with on the weekends
The golf content on RUclips at the moment is fantastic. Matts hole in one, Finch playing against Monty and to top it off Ricky playing Tommy. Keep it up boys. 2022 is going to be a good year. 👍
Isn’t it mental to see how far Rick has come on RUclips? I can remember when he used to do how to fix your slice videos at his old pro set up and now he’s playing my personally favourite golfer on the tour! Serious respect for all the hard work you’ve put in over the years! Keep it up mate🙏
Love how chilled out Tommy is! I know he said he loves non-competition games on the podcast, but it's incredible to see someone get around JCB level par and barely break a sweat
Love that we get to see these Pro golfers on a personal level. Rick, your on-course personality improves with every video you do, well done. Love the creative content!
I am a fan of golf, not avid, just a fan. I haven't played in years but enjoy watching golf on tv. This channel is so much fun to watch. The matches and and constraints for each each competition video are first rate and showcase the skill and positivity of a tour player as they approach each shot. Seeing Tommy Fleetwood in a bunker on the 17th and the first words out of his mouth were, "I can hole this", amazing, even if edited it was a perfect example of their calm confidence in their skills. Brilliant. Thank you Rick Shiels, you are making me a bigger fan of golf, and now, Tommy Fleetwood.
Tommy has become one of my favorite golfers to watch; not just because of his amazing golf game, but his awesome personality as well. Thanks for doing this, Rick. It was a pleasure to watch!
“Just knock it in”!!! Love that straight talking advice, can’t argue with it! Must have been amazing playing with Tommy and he seemed like such a nice guy to go round with.
What I found since starting to play golf this summer, no matter how good or bad you are, your partners/team are always very encouraging and happy for you when u make a good shot-even if you are playing against them. Such a lovely sport. Great video to watch from Canada.
That downhill par 3 looked pretty terrifying. I’m just discovering RUclips golf but I’m hooked on Rick’s videos. There’s a positivity and a friendliness that makes his content a joy to watch.
My goodness what an enjoyable match to watch. Thank you so much. The difference between a good golfer like yourself and one of the best in the world is astounding. So cool for you to have arranged such a match. So much fun to watch you to guys banter back-and-forth
I loved this video. I especially appreciated hearing the banter between you two and the thought process you both go through on the course. Lots to learn from while also entertaining. Thank you, Rick!
Now that Tommy is on the channel we all know what this means ... he's gonna get a PGA win or even a major next year! Hats off to Tommy for soldiering through that weather and dragging you on. Awesome video thank you Rick & team. So good.
Possibly the most enjoyable golf video I have ever watched, and I've watched all the Mickelson bunker videos. I had Tommy to win by two, because I thought you'd lose the short game game. Excellent way to spend 48 minutes, well done Rick and what an absolute star man Tommy is. Cemented his place in my ultimate 4 ball group.
Only just got back into golf again. Played at the age of 16-19. Then life got busy. But now I’ve turned 30 I’ve picked the clubs back up. Watching videos like this makes you just want to go play 💪
I loved hearing how Rick's heart was racing at various times. Show just how good Tommy and the pros are at managing that stress during critical moments in their professional rounds!
Tommy Fleetwood is an absolute class act!! Hard fought draw from Rick with some heaving breathing towards the end to highlight the battle he endured. Top stuff!!
Two great lessons from this video that WILL make you a better golfer: -Practice Well Paced Putting (Tommy very rarely blows one past the hole when putting...they were always well paced and finished average within 8-10"of the cup. Yes reading lines is important but mastering pace/speed of the putt will leave you well off if the line falls apart.) -"Stay Patient" (At 15:26, Tommy says this to himself after barely missing a birdie putt. He is acknowledging that his line reading is pretty spot on and his putt speed is dialed in...all he has to do is keep up and the putts and shots will fall. Great mental conditioning there that you don't see from most/all amateur players.)
Intriguing to hear Tommy planning each shot. The pros quickly and effectively assess the situation and so often make a quality shot. Hats off to Rick, he played great too.
Really enjoyed this one, Tommy is such a good lad and was appreciative of Ricks better shots. hope to be cheering Tommy on to better things this season ⛳
What a video! Loved that it was a long one, it was awesome to see every shot and get the full effect of the comp. Great work Rick and Team, thanks Tommy for making it happen!
At 9:08 when TF asks how far away the pitch landed and gets 8 feet away as the response, Tommy just looks straight down with disappointment lol I love how accurate the pros can be and expect to be, true masters of the craft! What a great guy too, nice vid
Tommy is my favourite player ever! He's always gentle, calm, never forgets respect for other people. I always take my swing video and compare to his (My swing's totally awful though) I hope I can recieve the club with signature here in Japan. Thanks, Rick.
It amazes me every day how down to earth professional golfers are - it’s like no other sport and I feel so proud to play it! Great match, the two of you.
This will probably sink to the bottom of the comment list, but I’ve watched this about 20-30 times in the last 10 mo. The weather looks trying to be in, but made for such a great video. Looking forward to whom this secret player is in a few weeks/next video
Rick you've outdone yourself here. I haven't watched something this enjoyable for such a long time. You're the perfect host I want to see escorting tour pros round a course. I am well into these longer competitive course vlogs with tour pros. Thankyou for your content.
Love how important that last putt was to Tommy! Would love to see this again in good weather and just how low he can go, what a golfer… and he seems like a nice lad too! :-) thanks for the video Rick
Rick is flat out a solid ball striker. Idk if ppl realize how good he hits the ball. He's hitting woods off the ground, slight draw almost every shot. It's impressive
Watch the full series of 10 shot challenges Vs Tour Pros here: ruclips.net/p/PLKnkfgDBi62m6IRNwNZmkmXm40CQa07du&si=kolbzXFk_NHWr9bs
You having these top players on “regular” courses, carrying their own clubs, being one of the guys, is great stuff.
They don't seem to shoot in the low 60's every time either. I think the putting is the big reason.

Very fun video! Lots of drama all the way to the end.

A great game to watch. I remember playing on days like this. 4 seasons in a day. Thanks for making and posting this, Rick.
Isn’t it mental to see how far Rick has come on RUclips? I can remember when he used to do how to fix your slice videos at his old pro set up and now he’s playing my personally favourite golfer on the tour! Serious respect for all the hard work you’ve put in over the years! Keep it up mate🙏
Love how chilled out Tommy is! I know he said he loves non-competition games on the podcast, but it's incredible to see someone get around JCB level par and barely break a sweat
Some driver of the ball Tommy
Love that we get to see these Pro golfers on a personal level. Rick, your on-course personality improves with every video you do, well done. Love the creative content!
I am a fan of golf, not avid, just a fan. I haven't played in years but enjoy watching golf on tv. This channel is so much fun to watch. The matches and and constraints for each each competition video are first rate and showcase the skill and positivity of a tour player as they approach each shot. Seeing Tommy Fleetwood in a bunker on the 17th and the first words out of his mouth were, "I can hole this", amazing, even if edited it was a perfect example of their calm confidence in their skills. Brilliant. Thank you Rick Shiels, you are making me a bigger fan of golf, and now, Tommy Fleetwood.
Tommy has become one of my favorite golfers to watch; not just because of his amazing golf game, but his awesome personality as well.
Thanks for doing this, Rick. It was a pleasure to watch!
“Just knock it in”!!! Love that straight talking advice, can’t argue with it! Must have been amazing playing with Tommy and he seemed like such a nice guy to go round with.
Yeah and he said that was the advice his dad would give him in that moment. Great great stuff.
This honestly might be the best video you’ve ever done, Rick. So much fun from start to finish!! 🙌🏼
What I found since starting to play golf this summer, no matter how good or bad you are, your partners/team are always very encouraging and happy for you when u make a good shot-even if you are playing against them. Such a lovely sport. Great video to watch from Canada.
That downhill par 3 looked pretty terrifying. I’m just discovering RUclips golf but I’m hooked on Rick’s videos. There’s a positivity and a friendliness that makes his content a joy to watch.
My goodness what an enjoyable match to watch. Thank you so much. The difference between a good golfer like yourself and one of the best in the world is astounding. So cool for you to have arranged such a match. So much fun to watch you to guys banter back-and-forth
Watching a pro with a very busy schedule do an everyman round of golf with you really raised the respect level for Tommy. Very enjoyable.
I agree…time is the one thing money can’t buy! Much Mahalos!!
“My brain tells me to lay up. My heart tells me to go for it.” I feel that 100%. Awesome to see Tommy on!
I loved this video. I especially appreciated hearing the banter between you two and the thought process you both go through on the course. Lots to learn from while also entertaining. Thank you, Rick!
Rick: "I know you've probably not faced pressure like this"
Tommy: "Shut up Rick" 😂
Top notch video!
Yea best line of the vid for sure
Awesome video. Really entertaining. Tommy is down to earth and seems a great guy. Also - the videography was on point.
The same words that come to my mind. Down to earth
Totally agree. The visuals is great. Definitely one the best in the Golf RUclips realm.
Now that Tommy is on the channel we all know what this means ... he's gonna get a PGA win or even a major next year! Hats off to Tommy for soldiering through that weather and dragging you on. Awesome video thank you Rick & team. So good.
I LOVE these head to head videos with the pros. Keep them coming!
Possibly the most enjoyable golf video I have ever watched, and I've watched all the Mickelson bunker videos. I had Tommy to win by two, because I thought you'd lose the short game game.
Excellent way to spend 48 minutes, well done Rick and what an absolute star man Tommy is. Cemented his place in my ultimate 4 ball group.
What a class guy Tommy is, so genuine. One of your best videos ever Rick.
Tommy seems like such a genuine guy. Hope to see him win a few more in the coming years :) Great video Rick!
Only just got back into golf again. Played at the age of 16-19. Then life got busy. But now I’ve turned 30 I’ve picked the clubs back up. Watching videos like this makes you just want to go play 💪
I loved hearing how Rick's heart was racing at various times. Show just how good Tommy and the pros are at managing that stress during critical moments in their professional rounds!
Tommy Fleetwood is an absolute class act!! Hard fought draw from Rick with some heaving breathing towards the end to highlight the battle he endured. Top stuff!!
These guys make you want to golf every day. What a genuinely fun match to watch. Keep growing the game boys!
Two great lessons from this video that WILL make you a better golfer:
-Practice Well Paced Putting
(Tommy very rarely blows one past the hole when putting...they were always well paced and finished average within 8-10"of the cup. Yes reading lines is important but mastering pace/speed of the putt will leave you well off if the line falls apart.)
-"Stay Patient"
(At 15:26, Tommy says this to himself after barely missing a birdie putt. He is acknowledging that his line reading is pretty spot on and his putt speed is dialed in...all he has to do is keep up and the putts and shots will fall. Great mental conditioning there that you don't see from most/all amateur players.)
Intriguing to hear Tommy planning each shot. The pros quickly and effectively assess the situation and so often make a quality shot. Hats off to Rick, he played great too.
Really enjoyed this one, Tommy is such a good lad and was appreciative of Ricks better shots. hope to be cheering Tommy on to better things this season ⛳
Any relation to Pat Boone?
What a video! Loved that it was a long one, it was awesome to see every shot and get the full effect of the comp. Great work Rick and Team, thanks Tommy for making it happen!
At 9:08 when TF asks how far away the pitch landed and gets 8 feet away as the response, Tommy just looks straight down with disappointment lol I love how accurate the pros can be and expect to be, true masters of the craft! What a great guy too, nice vid
Tommy is my favourite player ever! He's always gentle, calm, never forgets respect for other people.
I always take my swing video and compare to his (My swing's totally awful though)
I hope I can recieve the club with signature here in Japan.
Thanks, Rick.
Tommy's putting speed was amazing. Any missed putts were never further than 6 inches away.
With putter picked up off the shelf that morning as well. Fucking impressive
It amazes me every day how down to earth professional golfers are - it’s like no other sport and I feel so proud to play it! Great match, the two of you.
This will probably sink to the bottom of the comment list, but I’ve watched this about 20-30 times in the last 10 mo. The weather looks trying to be in, but made for such a great video. Looking forward to whom this secret player is in a few weeks/next video
Enjoyed every minute of that, Rick. Puts into perspective how talented these tour pros are!
Rick you've outdone yourself here. I haven't watched something this enjoyable for such a long time. You're the perfect host I want to see escorting tour pros round a course. I am well into these longer competitive course vlogs with tour pros. Thankyou for your content.
Love how important that last putt was to Tommy! Would love to see this again in good weather and just how low he can go, what a golfer… and he seems like a nice lad too! :-) thanks for the video Rick
Rick is flat out a solid ball striker. Idk if ppl realize how good he hits the ball. He's hitting woods off the ground, slight draw almost every shot. It's impressive
