I quit golfing in 2010 after only playing for a year. When I had COVID in 2020 I was off work for a month. His channel came up on RUclips and I spent 3 weeks watching his content. The first thing I did after getting better was go to the driving range. I’m now back to playing 3x a week. Watching Rick inspired me to get back to playing and kept me entertained during a rough month and he continues to keep me entertained. I wish him nothing but the best.
Rick is just a genuine, great person. His videos are not only helpful, but very entertaining. He’s helped me through a lot of sleepless nights, and his podcasts have got me through some long drives.
Entertaining yes, definitely helpful. If you're following his swing techniques, gl breaking 100. He barely breaks 80 in his videos. His handicap was especially apparent in the good good x rick shiels videos. He was barely keeping up with the higher handicap guys in good good. He brings lots of very entertaining videos, but he is in NO position to teach people how to golf with his horrible swing.
I recently started playing golf, after a layoff of several years. I never was any good but when some guys from church decided to meet regularly at a driving range I decided to dust off my clubs. After the first outing I decided to look for instruction on RUclips and viewed a few videos of other instructors. Then, I happened upon Rick Shiels videos and saw immediate improvement in my irons & drivers. Rick is very personable in his videos. It was as if on was at the range listening to him in person. Now, I pretty much just pull up his videos to check on videos for a golf fix. Thanks Rick from this 66 year old American student.
It’s really amazing that he doesn’t let this all get to his head. He still does things to pay it forward and never had forgotten where he came from. That speaks a lot to the character of a man.
I credit Rick as being a huge part of the reason why I picked up golf again and now I don’t think I’ll ever stop playing. I went from playing a couple times a summer to a couple times a week largely because of him.
Rick has what it takes to go the distance. Over the years he has shown his commitment to his subscribers and is unwavering in his pursuit to deliver unbiased information on all topics golf. He was my first golf related subscription and will undoubtedly help me make key decisions as they relate to golf. Cheers Rick, you my friend, are the real deal!!
I love that Rick's mother is the one that inspired him to begin playing golf, he may have been playing soccer today without her! He's an excellent dad, and is an inspiration to many! I enjoyed learning more about Rick's life!
Rick's reviews are great..He tells it to you straight from the shoulder no sugar coating...No Politics...Love his shows...Thanks Rick and Best of Luck in the Future...
I really like Rick's dedication to golf. He even has an educational background in golf with a degree in Golf Studies. That is serious dedication. Great video!
Weird how Rick teaches one thing (early cuppy wrist set) and when he takes a lesson from Dan Whittaker, Dan tells him to bow his wrist at the start of the takeaway.
I had never heard of Rick until I decided to take up golf again this summer. Then I watched one of his instructional videos. I finished and thought, “Who is this guy?” He’s a great teacher, and crystal clear in his presentation. And most of all, he comes across as a really nice guy which I am pleased to see that he is. All the best to you Rick !
It's thanks to Rick's channel that I found my love for golf again. I haven't played/touched my clubs in over 10 years! I randomly stumbled across a tip video of his while in a RUclips wormhole and immediately was like "why didn't I think of that years ago". Since then, I've been hooked to his channel and have been able enjoy playing golf again.
No mention of the influence in the growth of the channel for his relationships with Peter Finch is a great omission. Their chemistry maintained their channels for long time.
You guys are such great golf fanatics that you you put up a slide for a vegetarian restaurant called Gramin instead of Garmin, the GPS watch company, at 6:11. Nice job. 😂
The whole video is just an AI edit, scrip written (spelling mistakes and all) then fed into an AI to pull all the clips together (hence quotes cut off, incorrect images, wrong names). The complete opposite of everything Rick does!
Rick is awesome. Really kept me in the game after my surgeries and through him I found other RUclips golfers that I watch almost daily. Rick is the og and much respect to you and what a brilliant mind. My daughter is even a fan of Rick. I made the sand pallet wedge for fun with the boys and it’s a talking point at almost every friends outting haha.
Awesome to see so many positive comments here. Rick definitely got me back into golf recently too! Went to the range twice in a day for the first time today, just because.
A good golf career, a teacher and also a humble man. I learned a lot about Rick from this, i didn't know he was inspired by his mother to play golf. It's always nice getting to know more about player's background.
I took up this awesome, hateful game 5 years ago at the age of 51 thanks to a Rick Shiels RUclips video. I'm still getting a little better at it everyday and my wife has now gotten into golf and she's a blast to golf with. Volatile and un-predictable. Lol. Golf video's, mainly from Rick or the awesome young men from Good Good golf pretty much dominate the big screen at home now. It has been great seeing those 2 golf channels pair up. We love the young fellas from good good but Rick's still our favorite. Much continued success to you and yours from your yank duffer fans across the pond buddy.
Probably the best of the lot. Seems like a real genuine guy, and isn't trying to be a stand up comic like a lot of them! Always posting great content as well!
Rick is wonderful and I am so happy for him. He has been a tremendous help to me in my game and there’s an inspiration to all who have the benefit of watching him. I wish him all the best!
Even though I can't play golf anymore due to health reasons I really enjoy watching Ricks youtube videos he seems such a really nice guy & a great golfer his videos always cheer me up when I'm feeling low
You should eat Garmin for health reasons... 6:11 - I mean vegetarian, maybe it would make you golf again. What the heck, are these things made by AI? Gramin. Seriously. Lol.
We follow him and love his content because he’s honest with his reviews, and he puts out the content his viewers want and ask for and some other great advice.
I've been with Rick for at least a decade. He works hard, and seems to be a cool dude. He earned every bit of what is happening in his life. Good job, mate!
Rick's a Top G. Honest reviews, good attitude & seems like a lovely player to get partnered up with! Funny it's always that " one shot " that hooks you. Mine was hitting one 3 Yards from the hole my second time out on the 16th oar 3. Hooked every since & it's been 15 years lol
I really like Rick Shiels. I like him because he’s honest, he shows his good and bad shots, and his tips have helped me in many areas. I just wish she would come over to the states sometime to put on a show.
I lost one of my two jobs, so I took a job at a Wendy's for minimum wage so I could buy groceries. Lasted four months till found another job. Ended up going full time with ups. Now retired from them. Just bought new irons....TaylorMade Stealth. Thanks to your video Rick. I tried & bought, through club champion. Have a great holiday season everyone
I’m more in tune with his podcast nowadays. I love the unscripted moments he banters with guy , they are so funny. Always looking forward to his podcasts on my long drives at work
Awesome video about Rick Shiels! i didn't know that he has the biggest RUclips golf channel on RUclips! the influence of golf on his parental skills sound very interesting! his life story and what he did to find a job was really impressive!
Love Ricks channel and his personality . I like Peter Finch also and Matt Fryer and Dani Maude all because of their knowledge and their kind personality .
Amazing Rick Shiels video! I had no idea he had the most popular RUclips golf channel! It sounds really intriguing how golf may have affected his parenting abilities. His life narrative was incredibly inspiring, as was what he did to get work.
Great vid.. There are some wrong facts in it though. For example, you say he was born in 86 yet then go onto say he's 37. Also during the charity walk, it was WAY more than 4 miles a day. It was more like 25-30 miles a day.
Listen, first off Rick shields has given me many many hours of golf entertainment his depth of content has been sensational and everything he gets from this money wise he is due that and even more I’m under no illusions Rick has worked harder than anybody and I hope that he earns millions upon millions from his channels going forward and now. But let’s not be foolish, as a golfer, a pro, a coach even Rick is not a golfer, and when I’m talking golfer I’m talking a high end golfer, there’s many people out there that have more golf talent in their left foot than Rick could ever imagine to have in his whole being, if you respect golf, he’s not a golfer, he’s a charlatan, he’s never ever ever been good enough to do even the smallest of things in golf, but thats ok, Rick knows this more than anybody else, that’s why he took the career path and smashed it and hopefully will keep smashing it, me personally I honestly hope he makes so many millions he can’t even count, what I do have an issue with is tho don’t ever ever say he’s a golfer, a proper golfer, cos proper golfers know what a proper golfer looks like and Rick Isent one of them. Not played for years but I know I’d get off the couch and beat Rick tmrw. He’s a gentleman and does so much for charity and so he should, id hammer this guy he ain’t got 1/5 of the talent
learned a lot of Rick, sounds like an amazing golfer and person overall. will take a look at his channel too, thanks for making this piece about him :)
Advice for the young -when you have a passion for something whether plumbing or being a surgeon, follow it. Be good to your neighbor, give back. Be a good spouse. Success ALWAYS follows
Unreal that a golf RUclips page put a random vegetarian restaurant called Garmin when talking about Ricks sponsors instead of the world renowned GPS brand Garmin that have a massive golfing presence. Shocking really
I really love Rick Shiels he is such a great player and I love watching him play and I really loved how this video highlighted some of the facts of this life that I wasn't aware of.
Without Rick, good good, and gm golf I would have never started playing. They all make golf so enjoyable, and bring a lot to the sport.
Love it Jarrett! ⛳️⛳️⛳️
I think Rick, gm golf, and Bob does sports has so much for golf the past few years. It's amazing
Completely agree with this
If you needed a group of golf nerds to get you into this game and take up space on the course then we are all doomed
allow it , they may not have their dad or an og to introduce it like most of us @@johndixon7007
He deserves it all, he seems such a genuinely nice guy.
Especially loved his video with Faldo, they were great together.
We love Rick Shiels!!

Glad you're still with us and back at it golfing JB! 🔥
Rick honestly was a major factor getting me hooked on golf.

Ricks videos are by far my favourite golf videos on RUclips,my own game has improved heaps since I started following his channel probably 10months ago
That's awesome Justin - appreciate you watching ⛳️
Genuinely one of the nicest people in golf. I absolutely love his RUclips channel.
I started watching Rick at the end of 2019. From his club vids to building his garage sim during Covid. He has earned everything he has. Great content
I really like Rick's dedication to golf. He even has an educational background in golf with a degree in Golf Studies. That is serious dedication. Great video!

My favorite golf instructor by far. Honesty in his reviews of equipment is why he so liked. No BS.
Great to hear Vince ⛳️⛳️⛳️

Peter Finch is an absolute cheese merchant. Unwatchable
Thanks for the feedback ⛳️

Rick is a great role model and has done much to get people interested in the game his video's are a pleasure to watch he is such a positive person.
Rick is the man. Such a wholesome guy, pretty good golfer as well
Rick is awesome. Really kept me in the game after my surgeries and through him I found other RUclips golfers that I watch almost daily. Rick is the og and much respect to you and what a brilliant mind. My daughter is even a fan of Rick.

Rick is an awesome golf teacher and all around great guy. I love that he didn't let some of his failures stop him.
The person who takes failure in their stride then bounces back that takes real character.
Awesome to see so many positive comments here. Rick definitely got me back into golf recently too! Went to the range twice in a day for the first time today, just because.
Rick deserves every success,his coaching videos have helped thousands of golfers and entertains always.

What a great guy. I love his resilience, he never gave up and it paid off for him.

The picture of a Chinese restaurant called gramin? for garmin when mentioning sponsors cracked me up 😂 but what a guy rick is
the inspiration of rick is massive , mom are always there
Rick's a Top G. Honest reviews, good attitude & seems like a lovely player to get partnered up with! Funny it's always that " one shot " that hooks you. Mine was hitting one 3 Yards from the hole my second time out on the 16th oar 3. Hooked every since & it's been 15 years lol

Really enjoyed this episode.
Nice to know, still doesn’t change how I rate Rick I liked him before this post and still the same. Good on you Rick keep going 👍🏽
Ricks honesty made him a better golfer
Incredible golf teacher and all around great guy!

Love watching all of Rick's videos! ⛳️
Rick started working with Nike , Mastercard , and Garmin , not ‘ Gramin ‘ restaurant @ 6:11 🤣
Appreciate the feedback - thanks ⛳️

Are we not going to talk about the "Rick works with Garmin" picture of a vegetarian restaurant called Gramin 🤣
6:28 is exactly what makes you love Rick Shiels. Integrity.
The Chiron in the thumbnail is a total clickbait. Got me.
Appreciate you tuning in ⛳️
Rick Shiels is the best!
Unreal that a golf RUclips page put a random vegetarian restaurant called Garmin when talking about Ricks sponsors instead of the world renowned GPS brand Garmin that have a massive golfing presence.
Shocking really
Thanks for the feedback Alan - we screwed that up
Congratulations to Rick god channel is awesome
