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.

Number 6. Make sure the beers hidden in your golfbag match the single one you buy from the cart girl..
this could be the top tip. - alternately bring a cozie for your beers
I see it as more of a guideline than a rule. Especially since I've been stuck behind an elderly fivesome taking 20 minutes per hole.
Don't know what you're talking about 😂
Or bring your own yeti cup and hide the empty cans 😏
Glad I’m not the only one that can nurse a clubhouse beer for 18 holes.
Love the back to roots instructional content 👌🏻 🏌️
Rick- I’m a beginner and this helped a lot. I used tips 3-5 in my round yesterday and shot my best score yet (96). Thank you for the tips brother!
You are a beginner and shot a 96?! When i was a beginner I shot 150!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great advice Rick as always. Although I love your Pod Casts and break 75's I just feel your instructional videos are so relatable to the club golfer and help us realize "that golf is hard" without being too hard on yourself. Thanks again for providing the best golf entertainment on YoutTube,class .
Rick from watching your videos I’ve went from shooting in the 90s and a highest of 97 and struggling to break 90, to shooting 81 two weeks in a row. Thank you so much for making these videos and helping us regular golfers
Thank you Rick Shiels, your content, information, advise, perspective, and passion for this silly game is apparent. It’s so enjoyable to come on to RUclips and watch your videos. I’m in Alaska our golf courses are under feet of snow, we are eagerly awaiting for spring and to be able to get our 5 months of playing in this summer. So being able to enjoy your content in the off season is very nice. I’m starting to build up excitement and anticipation. I’m 52 years old and just played my first summer of golf last summer, I started out shooting around 120 on a par 72 coarse. My goal was to break 100, I I did a couple months in, my best score was a 93, this year I want to break 90, and a personal best of 85 would be great. I’m shooting old second hand clubs, if I can start shootings in the 80’s I may treat myself to a fitting and get proper clubs. Thank you again and God bless
Just started golfing last week and your videos have been HUGELY helpful and fun to watch.
Thanks to you my second round of golf ever I was only 18 over with a birdie chip in from 25 yards out. Appreciate you Rick!
Really have to agree with the playing of different courses. I play fairly well round my own course but you get to a point where you hardly have to think about your next club because you play the same way each time. As soon as I go and play a few different courses and face different hazards, lengths, wind directions, I come back to my own course feeling I'm now better equipped as a golfer as I now have more shots in my arsenal.
As a newly minted golfer, I am a huge fan of your content Rick.
My mate (15 years deep into golf) put me onto you when I said I was interested in joining my local club, I have since been glued to your content as part of my journey towards my first handicap, making sure I have lots of fun along the way.
You're a credit to the sport and I'm sure I'm one of many who is encouraged by your continued efforts.
Keep up the good work mate 👏
Such great tips! Love this. Thanks Rick
Great tips. I would add taking lessons. I learned two things from my last lesson - the importance of lag in my swing - wan't even aware of that until I was videotaped, and, as you mentioned, the importance of lag in my putts - I am now two putting much more consistently and even making some outside of 10 feet, but I am now less focused on draining 30 footers and just making a good, solid putt.
Literally just ordered a starter golf set for me and my fiancée yesterday. This will be really helpful for newbies like us! Can't wait to get started
take some lessons too
@@ZX-wy1tw I second this, it will move you forward in leaps and bounds!
Welcome to golf Zack!!
Take some lessons too! Golf is SOOOO much more fun when you have a couple of fundamentals. You’d be surprised how much more fun golf will be for yourselves!
Rick, you're the best. I used that same putting tip from your video with the great putting coach. It has absolutely helped eliminate my unnecessary three putts and actually started holing some more on the first putt.
Thanks so much for your videos!
Love the yardage lost with wind tip.
Well done, Sir! Golf is a thinking man's game and learning how to think about what you are doing is as imprtant as the doing of it. This video is a sure example of that idea.
I enjoy your videos immensely Rick , keep them coming !😊
Remember buying my first new dozen of balls. Shanked first one in woods first swing . Realized I wasn't ready for those yet..✌️⛳🏌️
Thanks Rick. I appreciate this video. Have fun out there!
I see you remembered you putting lesson. The practice strokes looking at the hole was amazing!!! Have a good week!
Love the tips videos. Especially the tip to just have fun and remember why we're out there. So easy to get angry. But golf is hard! Keep up the content please! Love it all.
Terrific video with immediately actionable advice - thank you!
I have learnt soooo much from your videos, super thankful.
Some gold here, thanks for (putting) these out there 😀
I love how Rick is always trying to help people improve scores. He's helped me go from shooting 97ish to 90 even. I haven't been playing golf that long but it's nice seeing new ways to improve my game and try to get better. I've always wanted to go professional while playing the sport that I love. I know that won't happen, but it's nice to drop shots and play better. Next goal is to save up to get away from my Nike driver. It's the tour edition so it's kinda hard for me to use. Slice almost every time. Been watching Rick for 5 years now trying to fix it
Same for me. I picked up golf in August '22 and my first round I shot 136. My last round in January '23 was 94 and that's due in large part to these videos.
I have the Nike tour driver and its great. I sliced with it but found I was swinging across my body, once I got that right I'm bombing like 300 yard drives, it's a great club
Love your advice on playing different courses. You could be the best in the world on your course and know just where to put the ball. But play different courses. And it's new challenges all together.
Great tips. My favourite tip is the bonus tip. Love your golf instruction videos.
Great reminders as we kick off the season here in Canada... Thanks Rick!
I enjoyed the video especially about wind. Now I know how to factor it in better. Especially against the wind. I actually discussed with a friend when playing and had seen a video about the subject but it was getting too complicated. So I thought enough as I can’t have any thoughts that allow not to trust your decision. Commit and do it. The way you explained is very simple. Keep the videos coming.
Great tips! Now to keep them from slipping my mind!
Great advice Rick -Simple but absolutely essential.
Splendid video. Love the content. I'm taking my first lesson this Saturday at 49 years old.
Solid advice. Good video. 👍
Great video Rick, as usual. Please keep the tips coming. Very helpful.👍👍
I’m a new golfer I’ve been playing for 4 months and I absolutely got addicted I’ve watched almost all your videos and love when you play with guy. This did help me a lot I usually shoot 10 over but I’ve been putting in a lot of work for all new players you can get pretty good if you put in the time and effort. Now I’m trying to break 82 which is 10 over on my course love the content keep it up Rick!!
Absolutely class top tips!! Thanks as usual!
One of the best in business Rick Shields - Loved it
Great tips thanks
I agree. It's a great vlog this year I have been playing other golf course.
Great tip from Rick - don't be too hard on yourself. I used to get annoyed for days after if I'd had a bad round but now I just take a fatalistic approach to golf and enjoy myself. Let's face it, it beats work.
Thanks for the great advice to all your videos. It good to go back to them, 😊
Rick I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. Coming from a guy with not so much free time I appreciate videos like this that you make you have helped my golf game EXTREMELY TY! Rick your great! I’ll practice those slopes for sure.
Best video for tips I've seen in a while thanks RS
Thanks for the reminders!
Appreciate the honesty. Maybe a similar video about course management?
Cheers. Great info.
Good tips, thanks
Definitely sound advice. I still catch myself at times being too hard on myself. The last tip was an especially good one.
I remember playing on my home course in an absolute gale and rain. Was absolutely brilliant. Great fun and a real test on the easiest holes. Was like playing a completely different course. Fantastic and great fun
The guys who pay big money for reservations at golf clubs will play in any weather let me tell you.
Man Shielsy.. I’ve been watching your videos since you and Pete just had a few thousand subscribers when I was first getting into golf. Back before the beard 😂. You’ve always been a great ambassador for the game for new players getting started and it makes me happy to see you at nearly 2.5 million subscribers now. Cheers mate!
Am about to take up golf at 46... And picking up my clubs this weekend.
I plan to hit the driving range a couple of times a week for the next month or so... Take some lessons and then see how it goes....wish me luck..
Rick, this has to be my favorite video you've ever done. Don't get me wrong, you are the gold standard, but this is real content and I'd love to see more like this.
Great video, Rick. Really enjoyed it
1:56 Northern California is amazing with the different types of courses are up here. I’m very grateful I got into golf but my brother introduced me to it in Southern California and the California desert which is much different than Nor Cal and my development has been up mainly up north.
I recently had a major golf outing with my brother who got me into the game along with my cousins who got into the game on their own and through using Ricks tips and varying the types of golf courses, my family was extremely impressed with my game and my family is very hard to impress.
Great video to help re-set the mind. I’m really really hard on myself with duff shots 😢 It’s usually after watching the PGA tour and expecting to replicate. From now on I’m going to chill! Cheers Rick ⛳️🏌🏼♂️👍
Great tips!
Awesome video. Well done sir!
Great tips Rick.
Excellent Rick!
Great tips! 🙌🏼
So true…I’m great when I play a round in a simulator where the weather is nice but what a huge transition to the golf course! Also, I think I’m probably still 4/10 from that 3 foot range as well!😂
Fantastic video as always Rick!
I can't wait to give these a try. Thanks for the videos
I'm looking forward to it.
5:40 An old pro at a golf club i actually kinda started playing at, i used to just join and watch my grandpa play, had a good way to train putting, im not sure if others do it but i find that it works. Find a distance (maybe 20 feet in front of you or to the hole, close your eyes and try different strengths, you will find a strength that works and be able to do it without needing to look.
Great tips, Rick!
Helpful video as usual. Thanks, Rick. The 3-foot putting rule is the distance from the hole or radius, not the diameter however.
I picture a hula hoop around the hole and aim for it
Great stuff. A lot of good reminders for us amateurs about to start the season. My only critique is to use less left/right speak for us lefties having to do mental gymnastics lol. Always appreciate the video instruction that says things like lead/rear hand/foot or away/towards to keep things more universally clear, over some definitive statement of ball higher and it goes left.
Last year, I went out and played one of the most beautiful courses I've ever seen in-person, TPC Deere Run. Easily the most humbling experience I've ever had was when I hit it into the rough and it was almost impossible to find the ball, let alone trying to hit it out. But I'd do it all over again, without hesitation
Hi Rick. Love your videos and tips! They have helped my game tremendously! One request, please take lefties into account when describing shots, especially with hitting on a slope. Most of us have common sense and know to swap the direction the ball will go, but a simple mention of this will really help the lefties out there. perhaps it can be described as toward you or away instead. Please keep the videos coming!
Please do it again soon, really enjoyed it 👍
Good stuff to know 😁👍❤
What a great video Rick! I miss this style.
I loved these tips. I wish when I first started playing that I also understood golf ball lies, as in at 3:00 the ball is pretty propped up by the grass. So I needed to be careful not to swing too far underneath it. And for tight lights it's very hard to pick clean
I'm really bad about being tough on myself and getting mad when I mishit the ball. I work hard to get better, but you're right that you have to keep it in perspective.
Just booked Crail open on the 5t August after watching You and Iona 3 times. I will need some luck 🙂
Rick, you are the best!!!
The double bogey finish on each hole is much easier after perfecting lag putts. Thanks, Rick!
Your videos are always quality ⛳
What helped me when i started out about 1.5 years ago is litterly look at the game per shot. I had the bad habbit on focussing on the complete hole and forcing myself to take to many risks trying to minmize the amount of shots. Had massive improvements after just taking it one shot at a time and purely focussing on my current shot and not the next or last one.
Hi, may you make a video on the Callaway Strata golf club set? Thanks
100% agree Rick about lag putting - it is incredibly important to the bogey golfer. Most times you won't make the green in regulation off the stick, especially on the tougher stroke holes... you're going to be on the par 4 green in three and the par five green in four, so if you get good at lag putting, you'll almost guarantee yourself a net par every time - and when you do make GIR, you give yourself a shot at net birdie.
Thank man for the tip
You’ve helped me tremendously.
I’ve went from a complete beginner 5 months ago to a -18.9 handicap… all from busting my ass practicing what I learned from Rick’s videos. I feel like he’s been my personal coach. Now, the hard work begins.
Also, Aim small miss small. Pick a precise target and go for it.
Hi, how much distance will -/+1.5 loft angle adjustment add or take away to a 4 hybrid typically? Can you do a video on loft angle settings / changes?
Thanks
Loved the Scramble video with Guy. Pls do it again!
Sickening how many losers are out there, trying to scam ppl
Very nice tip.
Good tips, especially on the lag putting.
Love ya, Rick!
My favourite thing is going out in really high winds and playing during those days. I love playing around with different shot shapes and trying things I wouldn’t normally
Number 6 Rick ... People dont care to know the truth and thats why they dont get better , first thing they do is blame the clubs . I am a scratch golfer because I practice and experiment hard in the 40 years I have played , and when I hit great shots , the guys I play with , sometime strangers , always ask what brands clubs I am playing , every time ...lol I always say its not the clubs .This was good content and cant disagree with anything your saying ...Thanks Rick ... Heres 10 more tips I will add for beginners out there
1) Golf is hard , it looks easy but its not and it will take you years to develop your game , accept it ... Take lessons and get the basics right from the beginning , quit guessing
2) Quit thinking the driver is key , its not , chipping and putting means more and iron play comes in third .
3) Accuracy trumps distance every time
4) Your swinging too hard , think smooth and easy
5) Play a premium ball , it matters ... Buy used balls if the price puts you off , just make sure there premium
6) Dont practice on mats if possible , the game is played on grass , big difference
7) Try to play with good players as much as possible and ask questions , dont be intimidated by somebody better than you ... We love helping you learn , at least i do
8 ) Learn to hit trouble shots from bad lies , embrace it , practice it ... It happens even if your a good player
9) If your not playing well that day , smile , your learning . Leave anger at home , it will kill your round even worse every time
10 ) Forget the bad rounds or shots or shanks .... It will get into your head and could stunt your growth for weeks
Great video but any advice on playing up or downhill and how to judge the yardage 🤔
Thanks for the video, Rick. These and many more in The Four Foundations of Golf by Jon Sherman.
keep these improvement videos coming rick!!!!
Coming back to golf after playing 20 years ago as a kid perfectly timed video!
Quick and spot on as usual, thats why you're the daddy big boy!
I would add to that tip about lag putting: if you are putting up hill, it's better to leave the ball short and give yourself a 3-foot uphill putt for par than running it by and having a downhill comebacker.
I actually love Rick, just a great great guy
Bonus tip is the highlight, boss! Golf is hard, have fun!
Nice Video Rick!
I always use that putting tip 2 putt for par or bogey is fine birdie is a bonus
I did that same first fairway wood shot yesterday. But, off the tee.
