    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.

      There’s no doubt that I have improved, but the fact is I’m capable of posting and 85 or a 105. This is a cool video because it shows a skilled golfer struggling like we all do. I’d say most of us relate to this more than we would if he shot a 75.

    Rick, I think I can speak for a lot of people who watch you play and especially your break 75 episodes, bring a lot of us relief from a lot of stressful aspects of our lives. I’ve struggled with depression most of my life and have always had to come to terms with the fact nobody is perfect. Watching your videos makes me feel more relaxed at the end of the day because sometimes I can’t get out to play golf and watching you gives me a reprieve from my own stresses. We all have terrible days, but we also have days that put those terrible days into perspective. Please don’t ever give up and know that we all love you and we love watching you play no matter how good or bad you shoot it’s about the experience not the score. We love you buddy!

    This is why I love Rick. He's one of us. We all have to put effort into being good. You can be doing all the right things and making strides. All of a sudden, BOOM a huge step back. To be honest tho, this is why we all keep on coming back. 2 steps forward and 1 step back but that one step back humbles us and makes us want to stride forward again. Rounds like this keeps us hungry to be that ever learning student of the game. Great content Rick, thank you for showing that you are indeed human.

      As an 8.3, a lot of these shots on here are what keep my 80-83 rounds from being 75-77 rounds. Hard lip outs, bad lies in bunkers, shots that come up just short in the water, and a terrible swing that you couldn’t recreate if you tried to out of nowhere

    • @meowfaceification
      @meowfaceification Год назад

      Sometimes you just have those rounds where everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Feels like they pop up the moment you start to feel like you have the game figured out. I was finally able to hit par about a month ago and felt like I was in the groove.
      Went out last weekend feeling confident, hit a 91. Shots landing in the fairway were in natural low points, shots that missed were catching tree roots and launching out of bounds. Even had a shot that was intended to be a nice little bump and run catch a sprinkler head just off the green and fly right back at my face. Sometimes it just isn’t your day.

      Just started watching the video so haven't got to the part yet where Rick says he was embarrassed of his behavior but all I can say is that I'm thankful that some of my behavior during bad play wasn't on film. I actually credit Rick and other youtubers for changing my embarrassing behavior, I was guilty of swearing, being rude to opponents/friends and even a breaking clubs a time or two when things went south but when I started watching youtubers some 10 years ago and how they respectfully the vast majority behave it suddenly changed my mindset and thankfully I stopped behaving like that. Looking back in my head I really can't believe how childish I used to act while playing something that you're supposed to do for fun.

    Watching you struggle was exactly what I needed after a dismal round at difficult course last week. I'm a novice golfer who loves to play, but was considering leaving golf because of that horrible round. Watching that video made me feel like the bad ones can happen to anyone. I love your RUclips channel so please keep it going.

      That’s golf man, watch your next round be one of your most consistent. We hit a good shot and then hit bad shots and endlessly chase that feeling like a dog chasing after a car. Even pros have bad rounds, there’s a pro that had a scorecard just posted where he had a 17 on a par 4 and was -4 before he got that 17. Shit happens 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Hi Rick/Guy, thanks again for posting the most enjoyable golf material I ever watch on my television screen. The content and interaction between the pair of you is just fantastic and makes the video so relatable to the average golfer. We feel your joy when things are going well (yes, there have been times :-), but I'm sure many other viewers like me feel your frustration when things are not going well.
    The reassurance I get from watching a good player like yourself having an off day reminds me that the professional game we see on our screens is at a level few of us could ever comprehend.
    Just suck it up like the rest of us and look forward to the next round when it could all change for the better. DO NOT STOP BREAK 75, it is joyous. Thanks again for keeping it real.

    Rick, you were the first golf tutorial video I watched. And you're still one of the first videos I'll click every week. So regardless of how you play, you will always be someone I look up to. I'm still trying to get good at golf but because of your inspiration I keep at it. I watch your break 100 and 90 videos for course management. You will always be the inspiration needed before a game because you will always keep on playing regardless of how your round is going. Don't be too hard on yourself. Next game you will be back and hit that 1 shot that inspires me to get out there and keep at it.

      Honest and brave? It's just an f....king game of golf. Want to see someone brave? Go to a children's cancer ward, there you will see what bravery is. Sheild is just another money-making bullshit RUclipsr trying to pretend he is a golfer. What is his message to the average golfer who wants to improve?
      All he does is complain, in every show he does. It's the same thing over and over. No way would I let him give me a lesson. Such a negative person, not the type of person to give confidence in one's self. Mabey that's the theme of his show? Make everyone who plays golf like him depressed.
      He gives me no hope to improve my game, that's why I would find a qualified PGA coach with a more positive persona to help me improve my game, not that twat.

I have wanted to quit so many times in my journey, but I then take a breather, relax, and remember what I have been learning. I have done everything without a single paid for lesson, only what I have learned from you Rick, and few others. I have shot over 100, and I have shot a 72 as my lowest score to date..
