When I hit off of a high lie I always stand further away from the ball so that I can’t go underneath it. Give it a try whether chipping or a full shot.
Always the best episodes when you have James on, love seeing what great golfers play like seeing it compared to your average weekend warriors. Great year of videos Rick 🎊
@ffulltilt Correct, I have only watched the 1st hole so far and that was my thoughts exactly. Either he goes back for stroke and distance, which he would be playing his 4th or he uses the new local rule for 2 shot penalty which means he drops where he lost it and is playing his 5th. I mean this another guy commented
Rick lay two shots into the heavy rough at the back of the first green and declared a lost ball. They agreed to a 2 shot penalty therefore, once he dropped a new ball he was laying 4 shots. His chip onto the green was then surely his 5th shot (not his 4th) meaning after he held his putt, he walked off the first hole with a 2 over par 6 shots....but marked his card as 5 shots.
As much as I love the American videos, it’s great seeing James on the channel. Got to pitch you lot with JR and Peter finch, those two would be hilarious with their lines.
@@markharvey7201 he lost the ball so should replay from the fairway but he said in the video they agreed a 2 shot penalty presumably to keep up pace of play
@ so he should have been hitting his 4th from the fairway but hit his 4th from greenside? I know he sucks at chipping but even Rick has a better chance of getting up and down from the fringe than 80 yards away
Shouldn't Rick's drop on the first hole incur a two stroke penalty? It's not a marked hazard and he's dropped it closer to the hole than where it finished. I'm confused!
@@amc5966more like casual golf rules, to keep the flow of the game. He should have went back to the original spot, with a one stroke penalty, but that would have taken ages
@@razz0404 he'd played 2. It was casual golf but he said they'd agreed a 2 shot penalty. So he should have been playing his 5th from the chip and holed out for a six.
James lost his ball on the par 3 and played a provisional. Couldn't find his first ball so played his provisional which resulted in a double. This is what Rick should have done on the first because again he didn't find his ball and just took a penalty drop. Its ok saying its only RUclips casual golf and you want to speed up play, but it has to be the same rules for all. Guy also did the same on 18, so it was only James who got penalised 2 shots for a lost ball Not a good look
I cannot get enough of the Robbo and Guy videos. You three make watching so much fun. Also, Rick, your put on 16 made me say "Jesus christ, Richard". The man is absolutely alight with the putter lately. Lovely to see
Rick you need to run back the Ping putter review. I've never seen someone on a putting streak like this, from Solina to now. The original review made it sound ok... But I think they'd have to pry it out of your cold, dead hands to get it off you now.
I loved the beginning bit, it feels like you need to do a second channel specifically for behind the scenes. If not, please keep these in main channel videos 💥
I have seen a few rounds played at Formsby Ladies and love the layout of the course. Small but fierce!! I also find Ricks game to be very much improved when he plays against an opponent rather than against himself. While I love the break 75 series, I found Rick getting rattled more by a bad score. Please include guy and Robbo in future videos! Thanks for the great content Rick and team!!!
Great video gentlemen and so good to see Rick playing well, I genuinely believe stopping the Break 75’s has dropped the pressure and improved your game.
Three mates having a bloody good laugh and playing some seriously good golf. And some reasonable golf. And some shit golf. But so entertaining to watch. Brilliant.
Great content, guys! I tell you what, though: I HATE reaching for a wedge if I’m w/in, 25 yards from the green and there aren’t any bunkers/obstacles in the way. I think Guy could benefit more by chipping with an 8-iron from that distance so the ball can just clear enough grass and roll up to the hole. (I have Lee Trevino to thank for this technique, it’s a game changer!)
37:46 setup left clear as day trying to cut it and of course it's the usual pull hook and immediately calls for "wind" LOL 🤣🤣🤣like c'mon man just be honest with yourself
Yea that’s not a hazard it’s a lost ball and he should have played another from the fairway but he said on camera that they agreed a 2 shot penalty which is not what he took thanks for playing
@@ciarancrichlow9735 Yup, most amateurs play lost balls as hazards so it's no surprise that people don't know this. Technically, as you mentioned, if it's not in a marked hazard area...if you can't find the ball then you have to go back and rehit, and losing a stroke...just like you would for Out of Bounds. Our group usually just plays it like a hazard because you can easily just lose a ball in normal rough if you didn't see it down very well and, we as amateurs, don't have ball spotters like the tour players have.
@ yea but he should have been hitting his 4th from the fairway, he hit his 4th from greenside…took his drop closer to the hole as well…I hope he doesn’t win that would be controversial 😂
BIRDIE SAUCE MERCH IS NOW LIVE! 👇

Birdie sauce merch is nice. Hopefully get some traction w that. Can see people reppin that. Sent link to my wife 😂
Looks good. I hope you have some mechanism for shipping to Europe without the import taxes...
Already bought my Birdie sauce black hoodie thank you Rick. 👌🏼
When I hit off of a high lie I always stand further away from the ball so that I can’t go underneath it. Give it a try whether chipping or a full shot.
Out of all the hundreds of guests on the channel, James is arguably the best. Down to earth and a good laugh. 👌
I guess the trade off for James, is Guy 🤢
@lewishill2165 don't have to watch it pal. Don't have to put sh*tty comments either 🤷♂️
Agreed. Always love watching James play
Guy is fun to watch don’t comment if you don’t like guy
Guy is funny , honestly he'd finish 40 shots better than me 😂
Rick appears to have rediscovered his enthusiasm for the game, which is great to see!
Yes these are the prime Rick videos
Enjoy mate!
I read this right after the hole out...then Rick bladed it over the green. Perfection.
@ Never a doubt 😂
Rather this than all those americans
@@PeterWithers-l6y for sure
*THIS IS THE CONTENT WE WANT RICK!* ⛳
Enjoy!!!
FINALLY SOME JAMES ROBINSON!!!!
Always the best episodes when you have James on, love seeing what great golfers play like seeing it compared to your average weekend warriors. Great year of videos Rick 🎊
Please please please take Robbo to Solina Golf Club next time you go. I really want to see him up against Wesley and George!!
Yes please !!
Great shout
That’ll happen in the summer time when they come to the uk for the major cut
loved all the recent videos from the states, but always great seeing James and Guy again

I never miss a video when you play with James. A++ content. Some of my favorite.
More of James on the show. Top golfer but also really down to earth
Absolutely buzzing for this. It's possibly some of the best golf content on RUclips.
Thanks so much!
Abra cadabra 🪄
Next time beat James without getting shots....
Don’t mean to nitpick but with a 2 shot penalty on the 1st it should have been a 6 not 5?
Definitely
It’s a one shot penalty for an unplayable lie. Within 2 club lengths is what he says - not nearer the hole.
@@markharvey7201 he lost the ball so should replay from the fairway but he said in the video they agreed a 2 shot penalty presumably to keep up pace of play
it's a one shot penalty.. he fumbled the wording because he was also saying it was 2 club lengths... 'a 2 club length penalty'
@ so he should have been hitting his 4th from the fairway but hit his 4th from greenside? I know he sucks at chipping but even Rick has a better chance of getting up and down from the fringe than 80 yards away
That's more like it. No gimmicks and competitive.
You should do some more with iona
Shouldn't Rick's drop on the first hole incur a two stroke penalty?
It's not a marked hazard and he's dropped it closer to the hole than where it finished.
I'm confused!
double for rick on the first surely?
Why didn’t he hit another from the fairway?
Yep. Some blatant cheating gone on there.

Add Iona Stephen and you'd have the best possible 2v2 vlog ever! Happy Christmas to you all.
It’s always a chill video when you three play together but this one is extra relaxed. Love it.
2 shot penalty at the first - disqualified 😂
Any time James is on the channel it’s an immediate watch
Das beste Format überhaupt. Beim zusehen muß ich schon lächeln. Die Stimmung im Flight ist richtig toll.
Have missed the Guy and Rick videos 🎉🎉
Enjoy mate!!
Rick made 6 on the 1st not 5.
No he didn't
Its just the boys playing golf and we love it!
So funny when Rick hits a bad shot he shouts wind 🤣🤣🤣🤣
James lost his ball on the par 3 and played a provisional. Couldn't find his first ball so played his provisional which resulted in a double.
This is what Rick should have done on the first because again he didn't find his ball and just took a penalty drop.
Its ok saying its only RUclips casual golf and you want to speed up play, but it has to be the same rules for all.
Guy also did the same on 18, so it was only James who got penalised 2 shots for a lost ball
Not a good look
Oh James, That First Hole - Whoaa. As good as it gets.
Soooooo gooood
What I forgot I needed this cold winter day..freaking James Robinson..that hole-out start was beautiful
Brilliant video, James is pure class!
This has been a great series between you 3 men. The banter, the friendship the laughing it's all good to watch!
I cannot get enough of the Robbo and Guy videos. You three make watching so much fun.
Also, Rick, your put on 16 made me say "Jesus christ, Richard". The man is absolutely alight with the putter lately. Lovely to see
Love seeing James on the channel.
I believe after you lost the ball on the first hole in the rough, you were taking your 5th shot, not 4th. Unless it was a pegged water hazard.
I absolutely love watching the matches featuring Rick v James v Guy. You guys are the best! Happy Holidays to you all and your families!!!
These videos with the 3 of you are genuinely my favourite. ❤ from 🇨🇦
james's rhythm is great to watch
Love the content as always Rick but James needs his own channel.
Robbo…. Robbo….Robbo!!
Not a bad start 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Rick you need to run back the Ping putter review. I've never seen someone on a putting streak like this, from Solina to now. The original review made it sound ok... But I think they'd have to pry it out of your cold, dead hands to get it off you now.
Charnock the biggest sausage in YT golf
I skip the gobshite every time I see him 😂
It's a pleasure to see you putting well and enjoying the game more again, Rick! Keep rolling it!
Great banter with the lads. Love it.
I like these more than the tour pro ones. Awesome video!
James is scarily good.
If Rick is Harry Putter Guy is Severus Slice
A fantastic match and video Rick, Guy and James ❤
Nice golf setting on a cold day. Rick: has it ever occurred to you that you would not be short of tees if you bent down and picked one up? 😂
Don't even play golf but love watching anyway. You guys make it look easy...most of the time. Keep up the great vids.
This must be the break 75 replacement. The trio is a great watch, good personalities, light hearted while still competitive.
brilliant putting display Rick!! Loved this video!!
It's great when the 3 of you play together 😃
Best trio you can get. Also, amazing editing, the videos are so easy to watch. Rick is playing brilliantly too - can we get a putting tutorial video??
Not seen one of these in ages. Nice one!
Love the content for a few years now , I m glad to see you stepping up your game ! This video is great so was all the content from the US
I loved the beginning bit, it feels like you need to do a second channel specifically for behind the scenes. If not, please keep these in main channel videos 💥
On #1.. lost second shot.. took 2 shot pen for lost ball so should be hitting 5. Nice double.
This is just an incredible video! Made up with how the game is looking Rick, LB
6 on the first for Rick
Harry Putter. Ron Wedgely. Hermione Whinger
This is what we like to see great video chaps always enjoy having James on

Rick, please tell Guy that he has the yeps with a short putter! Get him to try other length putters where he is able to make a smooth COMPLETE stroke!
The craic was literally 90 in this video. Love it. Classic stuff
Really enjoyed this , well putted Rick , not sure about the sparkles celebration though . Such a great vibe between you all , winter golf ❤
Hello from Denver, CO!
Love the eagle sauce! Nice surprise! Still my favorite golf youtuber and its not close.
These are the videos I like to watch. Rick, Guy and James.
Looks like you are enjoying this format with friends more than the Break 75 series. Great job Rick!
Great video gentlemen and so good to see Rick playing well, I genuinely believe stopping the Break 75’s has dropped the pressure and improved your game.
a lost ball as on the first hole should always count as two penalty strokes, otherwise you would have the distance advantage. Sorry!
love seeing this group play
Great fun to watch - I'd have to start 25 under 😂 - love it as always. Happy X-Mas to you, Rick !!!
Really enjoyed this video! Thank you guys
Lovely video Rick! I have started playing golf in the winter thanks to watching your videos (I live in Pennsylvania not the UK)
Three mates having a bloody good laugh and playing some seriously good golf. And some reasonable golf. And some shit golf. But so entertaining to watch. Brilliant.
Would love to see this same format but switch Guy for Ed
As always, brilliant. Having James on the channel is brilliant, so funny and of course guy. Harry putter, what about Hermione rangefinder
Great content, guys!
I tell you what, though: I HATE reaching for a wedge if I’m w/in, 25 yards from the green and there aren’t any bunkers/obstacles in the way.

Best trio on RUclips golf
thank you!!!
Got to love these golf clubs in the U.K. which seemingly stay open to the public year round. The clubs here in Canada have long since been closed
I’m in Calgary… no golf til April 😩
@@simonevansengineeringelite4354 Ouch!
Put Guy on the watch list
Looked very cold. Enjoyable to watch. Nice win Rick. 👏👏👏
From bryan bros to Guy . WTF
You have to love Robbo, pure class in every way.
Never ask Guy for a prediction 😁
You are playing some really good golf Rick!!
Ricks videos have as he would say “hooked” me. Another top video to enjoy
Great atmosphere in this video. Very relaxed 👌
37:46 setup left clear as day trying to cut it and of course it's the usual pull hook and immediately calls for "wind" LOL 🤣🤣🤣like c'mon man just be honest with yourself
5 on the 1st……. Old David Pleat.
Said it a bunch of times Rick. You have to film at Hollinwell. Sand based heathland. Plays cracking all year round. Winter greens are phenomenal 🤘
Robbo is my favourite guest on the channel.
Also the chunk then eagle start😂😎
Formby Ladies just feels like home. Takes me back to the Rick, Pete, Matt & Andy matches ❤️
These are the best videos
More James.
LOVE it when you three get together! ⛳❤
If that was a 2 shot penalty on 1 you made double pal
why would it be a 2 shot penalty? just a hazard drop.... which is 1 penalty stroke. are you new in golf pal?
Yea that’s not a hazard it’s a lost ball and he should have played another from the fairway but he said on camera that they agreed a 2 shot penalty which is not what he took thanks for playing
